Line 68:
* In ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'', right before you enter the Palace of The Guy the moon, which has been pestering you throughout the game, drops down from the sky to confront you...and then the real boss, the robot dragon from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'', beats it down and the real fight begins.
* In ''Jade Cocoon 2'', all the non story bosses are oversized versions of regular monsters, and before fighting a short fmv clip is played. In one of them a large Dragon fly buzzes at you menacingly. It looks a little out of place in the water world, and seems smaller than other bosses. It then gets eaten by a HUGE frog monster, who then attacks you.
* In Chapter 8 of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', the hero faces a crew of evil-but-awesome [[Space Pirates]] (as he describes them) who are somehow [[Monumental Theft|stealing entire constellations]]. After fighting his way through the pirate crew, he moves up to the main deck, looking forward to “swabbing the deck with that jerk” only to find that the Captain is [[The Napoleon|a very little guy]]. As Kid Icarus tries to understand what he’s saying, a set of huge tentacles comes out of nowhere, one of which grabs the Captain, [[Just Desserts|who is subsequently devoured by a Space Kraken!]] Naturally, this is the true boss of Chapter 8, but fortunately, it’s bark is much worse than its bite.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'' does this in the fourth dungeon (which may seem like the final dungeon if you aren't familiar with the series tradition of having ''two'' sets of [[MacGuffin]]). [[Big Bad]] Zant appears, but rather than facing Link directly he just drives his sword into the skull of a dragon skeleton, animating the boss of the dungeon. Even then you may think it's just his [[The Dragon]] and you'll be facing him afterwards, but no.
** Not to mention that he's, [[It Was His Sled|y'know]], {{spoiler|[[Hijacked by Ganon]]}}.
