▲Some video games feature a [[Boss Rush]], which is when you have to fight several bosses in short succession. Boss Games take this to the next level: The whole thing is ''nothing'' but boss battles with sometimes the occasional breather segment in between. The polar opposite is [[Mooks but No Bosses]], and the extreme end of [[Easy Levels, Hard Bosses]]. [[Boss Only Level]] is a [[Sub-Trope]], in which only ''one'' level is just a boss.
Boss Games come in three flavors:

== Type 1 ==
* ''[[Alien Soldier]]''. There are ''more bosses than levels'' if you count each form of [[Shout-Out|Seven]] [[Gunstar Heroes|Force]] separately!
Line 55 ⟶ 53:
* ''Bomberman Quest''. Every enemy is a miniboss with some HP, different attacks, weaknesses and a battle theme playing while they're not yet defeated.
* ''[[Star Wars Episode III]]''. The levels get shorter and shorter, and increasingly focus on you vs. one enemy, to the point of being a [[Fighting Game]] with a few short hallways between arenas.
* ''Titan Souls'' takes place in a mostly empty dungeon except for boss rooms, every boss is a [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]] that needs to [[Attack Its Weak Point|have its weak point exposed]] generally by [[Tactical Suicide Boss|using an exploitable flaw in its attack patterns]] (you only have one HP as well so avoiding attacks is mandatory).
== Type 2 ==
