*** The [[DownloadableContent Re+Mind DLC scenario]] [[spoiler:goes through almost the same sequence, excising the horde, Lich, Demon Tide, and Master Xehanort, but giving Sora one-on-one rematches with the Dark Inferno, Anti-Aqua, and Terra-Xehanort beforehand, adding a fight of Roxas, Lea, and Xion vs. Xemnas and Saïx in the middle of things, introducing a minor {{Mook}} hunt and a [[LegacyBossBattle Darkside]] fight before the replica fight, adding a fight of [[EnsembleCast Riku, Aqua, Terra, Ventus, Lea, Roxas, Xion, and Mickey]] vs. [[InterestingSituationDuel the replicas once more]], and finally offering a HellYesMoment of [[BattleCouple Sora and Kairi]] vs. a Replica of Armored Xehanort.]]

** The battle against [[spoiler:the Reverberation Ensemble]] is this. It's composed by ten separate boss battles, one for each member; and each one is fought on a different floor, which requires you to [[FinalExamBoss know the ins and outs of every floor]]. The bosses are divided into four tiers, with you having to defeat all the bosses in one tier to proceed to the next (although you can fight the bosses of one particular tier in any order); and due to how the game is structured you get a separate party group for each individual boss. The catch is that losing once puts you right back at the start.

** Tidal Whale's level in ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'' mainly consists of a fight against the U-555 submarine, in three different battles (head, tail, and lastly the upper body), each one treated as a different boss with separate health bars.

*** The crowner has to be Blaze Heatnix, where he pits you against up to '''five''' Nightmare Snakes (giant wheel-like Mechaniloids) before you even face him (though you can avoid fighting at most two depending on the path you take). The only difference betweeflyn each battle is the change in arena that will either help or impede the player. (ranging from a slope to a RiseToTheChallenge with OneHitKill lava, among other things)

* ''Franchise/MegaMan''

*** At the end of the game, you get to face [[spoiler: Jecht/Braska's Final Aeon, all of your summons, and [[BigBad Yu Yevon]].]] Although, the first one is the only one that you fight without Auto-Life status, so the others are essentially un-loseable (unless you actually ''try'' to lose). As such, the first one is widely considered to be the "final" boss of the game.

** ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' has this at the end of '''all three''' of its modes as well. [[spoiler:For the standard story and Guest Star mode, you fight Zan Partizanne and then Hyness without a break, but what comes next is based on the mode. The main story is a four-stage fight against Void Termina, while the Guest Star mode ends with a fight against Galac- ...err, '''Morpho''' Knight. Heroes in Another Dimension pits you against Corrupt Hyness and then all three of the Mage Sisters at once; if you have all the Friend Hearts, you go on to face an ultra-powered Void Termina. ''Have fun with that.'']]

** The battle against [[spoiler:the Reverberation Ensemble]] is this. It's composed by ten separate boss battles, one for each member; and each one is fought on a different floor, which requires you to [[FinalExamBoss know the ins and outs of every floor]]. You can fight the bosses in any order (except the leader, who must always be fought last), and due to how the game is structured you get a separate party group for each individual boss. The catch is that losing once puts you right back at the start.
** If you're in the path for the true ending, you'll have to go through one of this. In order, you'll have to go through the following Receptions: [[spoiler:the Black Silence (a multi-phase boss that acts as the FinalBoss in the normal paths), the Keter Floor Realization (a boss with five phases; for the first four, the boss will copy an Abnormality that you previously fought on the Keter Floor), the Reverb Ensemble Distorted (a BossRush against the resurrected Reverberation Ensemble) and the Final Reception (a PostFinalBoss)]].

* The penultimate level of ''VideoGame/RenderingRangerR2'' has ''six'' bosses.

* ''VideoGame/OdinSphere''[='s=] final book consists entirely of five boss battles meant for each of the five playable characters, representing the final battles with the five apocalyptic disasters of legend. You can at least stock up and/or LevelGrind between battles, but the battles themselves are [[NintendoHard no picnic]].

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'': In the Myria station there are plenty of new bosses. But given how some of the bosses are inside some segments of the station itself, it might not qualify specially in the end where you get to the inner laboratory where you face the Experiments which are mostly a {{Boss Rush}} per Capcom's tradition but they included a few new ones (including a Dodo bird, the only new Boss in that level).

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'': In the Myria station there are plenty of new bosses. But given how some of the bosses are inside some segments of the station itself... it might not qualify specially in the end where you get to the inner laboratory where you face the Experiments which are mostly a {{Boss Rush}} per Capcom's tradition but they included a few new ones (including a Dodo bird, still the crowning moment of funny is when you have to face Rocky X 5 [[spoiler: Giant Rooster]], considering it can still inflict you the Egg status, Ovum spell).

* At the end of ''VideoGame/CaveStory'', you have to fight Misery, the Doctor (who is a SequentialBoss himself, constituting two forms) and the Undead Core. If you're going for the best ending, then at the end of the new area you need to fight the Heavy Press and Ballos, a four form SequentialBoss.

* In a linked playthrough of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'', Link will have to face up to three bosses in the climax of the story: The standard villain of the second game played (Veran in ''Ages'', Onox in ''Seasons''), then Twinrova while they plan to sacrifice Zelda to revive Ganon, and finally Ganon himself when Twinrova sacrifice themselves in a last-ditch effort to revive their master.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'': The ''[[UpdatedRerelease Royal Edition]]''/''[[DownloadableContent Royal Pack]]'' has a succession of bosses at the end of Insomnia. A two-phase battle with Cerberus, another two-phase battle with Ifrit, a battle with The Fierce, a battle with The Rogue, yet another two-phase battle with The Mystic, and finally a ''three''-phase battle with [[spoiler:Ardyn]]. Without the Royal Pack, only Ifrit and [[spoiler:Ardyn]] are fought.

** The siege on Vishnu Citadel requires you to fight several bosses with the running theme they're all based on creatures from UsefulNotes/HinduMythology (Indra, Mahadevi, Nandi and Kama).

* Very common in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' games as a rule for the series (aside from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'', which has a standard BossRush).
