• Kamen Riders using cards: The Riders in Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Decade all utilized cards to initiate transformations, summon weapons or use special techniques.
• Multiform Kamen Riders: Kamen Rider Black RX, Kuuga, Agito, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, Double, OOO, Wizard and Gaim are all capable of taking on forms that are not upgrades per se, but rather specialized forms useful in certain situations. Most of the time, these Riders have a balanced form, a strong but slow form and a weak but fast form.
• Riders directly gaining powers from their respective enemy races: Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Blade, Kamen Rider OOO and Birth and Kamen Rider Wizard and Beast.
• Riders accidentally getting their powers: Kamen Rider Ryuki and Gaim just stumble on their transformation devices without having any prior knowledge of the supernatural conflict going on or being forced to transform by other people.
