* ''VideoGame/{{Asterix}}'': The Final Stage has Asterix and Obelix fight four boss battles in a row against, in order, a tiger (that fights similarily to the Auroch of the Spanish campaign), Insalubrius (the Gladiator trainer from ''Asterix the Gladiator''), the Romans in turtle formation of the first mission, and finally two gladiators (that fight similarily to the two bosses of the British campaign).

* ''Franchise/SuperMario'' [=RPGs=]:

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPGLegendOfTheSevenStars'':

* The ''Trails'' series:
** ''[[VideoGame/TrailsSeries The Legend of Heroes - Trails]]'' series throws a bonanza of battles in each game for the FinalDungeon. As the group of heroes traverse through to the final area, they'll fight against the various antagonists they fought, leading to the final fight.
** ''VideoGame/TrailsOfColdSteel IV:'' The party have to rescue Rean at the end of the first chapter, after he was taken prisoner in ''Cold Steel III.'' The party splits into three, they each have a boss fight, they knock some sense into Rean, who is not in his right mind, and then have a fifth boss fight against the BigBad. Five boss battles, with cutscenes before and after each one.
* ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'' generally only pits you against one or two bosses per chapter. The final chapter requires you to defeat a DualBoss to earn the right to enter the [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Double Reed Tower of Sand]], which is actually ''two'' towers, each of which must be ascended twice with a boss fight on each ascent. This lets you fight the apparent final boss (another DualBoss in the [=PS3=] version). The ''real'' FinalBoss shows up shortly thereafter.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' extends the usual Elite Four + Champion motif. You have the Elite Four battle, then immediately afterward, catch the version mascot and then, the battles with N and Ghetsis. Fortunately, there's phlebotinum to heal your Pokemon before pushing onto those last two, so you aren't going in depleted.

* ''VideoGame/BigKarnak'' has its second half; after defeating Nut, almost all further enemies are bosses, from a monstrous ManEatingPlant to a GiantSquid and a TerrorDactyl and various other bosses. WIth less than ten seconds in-between each battle.

* ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel2'', befitting for a classic case of SerialEscalation, has three bosses interjected in the second half of its final chapter, [[spoiler: those being the leg of the Vanargand, a FlunkyBoss against the pulse spike resting on top of the Vanargand, and against the BigBad [[FinalBoss Cayanne]]]]. The only outlier is that there's a standard encounter spliced between the first and second boss fights.

** ''Marathon Infinity''s penultimate level "You Think You're Big Time? You're Gonna Die Big Time!" is the closest thing the series has to this trope, with High Admiral Tfear sending his personal guards -- several pairs of the highest tier EliteMooks (two Fighters, two Troopers and two Hunters) and one Elite Juggernaut -- against the Security Officer. Fortunately, both this level and the level below provide the player with an infinite supply of ammo, which makes them a lot easier than a {{Drought Level of Doom}} like "Acme Station".

* In ''VideoGame/MusashiSamuraiLegend'', all the dungeons seen so far have one boss (except the first two who have two bosses): the final level put you against Gandrake's QuirkyMinibossSquad (4 battles, as one is a DualBoss), your EvilKnockoff and then Gandrake's OneWingedAngel form.

* The Great Maze from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''[='=]s Subspace Emissary is an UnexpectedGameplayChange to {{Metroidvania}}. The goal of this area is to find and fight [[BossRush not only the previous seven bosses]], but also 31 {{Mirror Boss}}es of all the playable characters encountered so far. After you defeated them all, you'll be able to fight Tabuu. Notably, Meta Ridley is no longer a TimeLimitBoss.

* ''VideoGame/StellaGlow'': Unlocking the GoldenEnding requires defeating a total of three bosses during the endgame, one after another: Xeno ([[spoiler:the true identity of Klaus]]), Eve (the standard FinalBoss) and [[spoiler:Cartesia (the TrueFinalBoss, only available upon meeting certain missable conditions ''and'' refusing to continue the battle against Eve halfway during the battle to tune her instead)]].

* ''VideoGame/BigKarnak'' has its second half; after defeating Nut, almost all further enemies are bosses, from a monstrous ManEatingPlant to a GiantSquid and a PteroSoarer and various other bosses. WIth less than ten seconds in-between each battle.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* ''VideoGame/StellaGlow'': Unlocking the GoldenEnding requires defeating a total of three bosses during the endgame: Xeno ([[spoiler:the true identity of Klaus]]), Eve (the standard FinalBoss) and [[spoiler:Cartesia (the TrueFinalBoss, only available upon meeting certain missable conditions ''and'' refusing to continue the battle against Eve halfway during the battle to tune her instead)]].

This trope generally comes into play during [[FinalDungeon the final stage, dungeon, or chapter of the game]] (though it can rarely show up during another climactic part of the story, such as the DiscOneFinalDungeon). In these areas, the boss density is much higher than in the rest of the game, perhaps to test the player's skills or to make it seem like the BigBad is finally [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil pulling out all the stops]]. Note that it is the contrast of this area with the rest of the game that is important: A final dungeon with four {{Mini Boss}}es would qualify if every other dungeon only had one boss, but not if that many bosses was the norm.
