In video games, bosses are powerful enemies found in levels. They are usually fought at the end of the level, world, or chapter. Most of the time, the player cannot advance to the next level until the boss is defeated. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. Bosses are usually much more difficult and take more time to defeat than the other enemies in that level or world. There are other types of bosses as well, these are:

  • Mini-Bosses (a.k.a. Mid-Boss, Sub-Boss) - Bosses that are sometimes found in the middle of a level, world, or chapter and are usually just upgraded versions of a normal enemy.
  • Chapter Bosses - Bosses that appear in RPG's at the end of a chapter. An example is Bowser???.
  • Final Bosses - Bosses that are fought, mostly nearly the end of a game, and are usually the hardest enemy fought in the entire game. Once the Final Boss or Bosses have been defeated, the game is finished. However, there have been times when the game does not immediately end and the player may need to complete an extra task first. (Example: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)
  • Optional Bosses (a.k.a. Superboss) - Bosses that are most often found in RPGs. They exist in the game, but they do not need to be defeated for the player to beat the game. Sometimes, Optional Bosses are even harder than Final Bosses. (Like The Master and Bonetail)
