Games that let you run on the ceiling?

I know that Metal Storm and Alien Soldier let you run on the ceiling. Can you think of any other games that let you do this?

Ninja Spirit aka Saigo no Nindo.

Strider Hiryu 1 & 2 come to mind, as they both have more than one lengthy reverse-gravity section, but it's not a controllable mechanic like in the three games already mentioned. edit: Bloodlines / Vampire Killer as well, but it's even briefer there (just one room in the last stage).

Can't believe I forgot about Strider 1 & 2. Just remembered that Twilight Princess had a dungeon that had ceiling walking by using the magnetic boots. It seems to be a really uncommon mechanic.

Alien campaign in the Alien vs Predator games

Technically, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, since the castle is turned upside down in the optional second half.

Enter the Matrix does walls, not sure about ceilings. But regardless, don't. Just don't. No one deserves to have that game inflicted on them.

Oh yeah, that reminds me of another 3D example - Ghost In The Shell (PS1). Feels great speeding about on the ceiling in that game.

The NES-exclusive conversion of Strider also has a magnet boots item that enables wall- and ceiling-walking on certain surfaces.

That's not a conversion of the Arcade/Genesis Strider, but an entirely different game.

Sorry, yeah. Wrong word.

Paperboy

(image of paperboy upside-down so it looks like he's on the ceiling, i'm too tired to actually do it right now lol)

Oh yeah, Castle of Illusion has a bit of ceiling-walking too, comparable to the Strider games'.

Chack n' Pop allowed you to stick to the ceiling and walk around
Ancipital was the first one with gravity reversal I think:

The Sonic games in general via momentum, but Sonic 3 in particular had outright gravity reversal
Castle of Illusion
Gunstar Heroes
Gravity Rush
And Yet It Moves
Yoshi's Universal Gravitation
Mario Galaxy
Crystal Caves
Kid Chameleon

Shatterhand has anti-grav sections akin to Strider's.

Is that the sequel to VVVVVV?

I wouldn't have caught that off the top of my head if the game's domain weren't thelettervsixtim.es

Jetpack Joyride (an iOS/Android endless runner) has a gravity suit powerup that reverses gravity and lets you run on the ceiling.

Deadly Creatures (Wii)

Crawl and jump on any surface, all of this as a spider. How cool does that sound ?

Yeah, Gravity Man's stage in Mega Man 5. GravityMan.exe's stage in Network Transmission rehashes it as well.

There were a couple of rooms in Luigi's Mansion where he'd walk on the ceiling.

Little Samson (NES) - Pretty important aspect. Both the mouse and main character do this.

Castlevania 3 - Grant.

The later Ratchet & Clank games featured magnet boots as an item that would allow you to walk up certain walls and ceilings.

Wasn't there an actual boss/midboss fight that went by ceiling? I remember the walking was cool but the novelty wore off quickly due to the slow-ass movement. The usage of it later on for some of the puzzle-like areas was neat though.
