[edit] Final Fantasy IX
The Save the Queen is an exclusive weapon of Beatrix's, which cannot be removed from her. Though the sword's attack power is low, it has a special damage algorithm that adds the user's level to its attack power, potentially making it the strongest weapon in the game if above level 85. Save the Queen can be obtained by Synthesizing through Hades in Memoria. Although no one can equip it, Amarant Coral can Throw it for massive damage, and if in the inventory during the ending, it triggers an extra scene.

[edit] Kingdom Hearts series
Save the Queen is Donald's ultimate weapon in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. It is a staff in these games. In Kingdom Hearts, it could be won in a tournament, and in Kingdom Hearts II it is a Synthesizable weapon. A better version of the weapon could also be synthesized, called "Save the Queen+". Goofy has a weapon called Save the King, which is the most powerful shield, and, like Save the Queen, it also has an upgrade version called Save the King+. While it is an obvious reference to Final Fantasy, there has never been an equipment piece in Final Fantasy called Save the King, shield or otherwise.
