Line 191:
* In ''[[EarthBound]]'', the Kraken reappears in the Sea of Eden (where Ness has to fight them alone). It then reappears ''again'' in the Cave of the Past in "bionic" form. Also, several other enemies in the Cave of the Past are renamed and palette-swapped versions of old bosses (such as of Starman DX).
* In ''[[Dragon Quest I]]'', you must rescue the princess from the Dragon early on. Later, dragons are all over the place. The Axe Knight also first appears as a boss guarding Erdrick's Armor, then as a recurring enemy in the [[Final Dungeon]].
** All over the place with IOS game Dragon Quest Of The Stars. Even chapter bosses can later appear in other dungeons. Other bosses later receive upgraded versions of themselves. For example, after fighting the Restless Armour, you encounter the Infernal Armour as a boss. So far, Marquis De Leon and Barbatos are the exceptionexceptions.
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' games, on the final stage you'll usually not only have the [[Final Boss]] to deal with, but around two dozen variants on previous original bosses, usually mass-produced models of [[Super Prototype]] mechs the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] used. In some of the more [[Nintendo Hard|challenging]] ones they're just as strong as the originals.
* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' there are also various lower-level Noise (examples including the lowest form of wolf, shark, and rhino), which when you encounter them for the first time, they're treated as a boss. Later in the game however, they're just another type of Noise to defeat - sorry, ''[[Deadly Euphemism|erase]]''.
