Line 27:
* [[Bayonetta]] - Grace & Glory
* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]]'', Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos were hard bosses that the player has to fight in succession. ...And then all three at the same time, powered up and with more health.
* Variation: ''[[Mortal Kombat Deception]]'' has the Noob-Smoke tag team, basically two different characters who share one HP bar.
* The two Barons of Hell (AKA the 'Bruiser Brothers') from the original ''[[Doom]]'' at the end of the first episode.
Line 46:
** Then there's the fight with Cloaker and Domino, which includes a different [[Sequential Boss]] depending on which one you kill first.
** Also the Axem Rangers, 5 bosses at once. Being a parody of [[Super Sentai]] and [[Power Rangers]] you have to fight their [[Humongous Mecha|giant mecha]] right after.
* ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' has the Goomba Bros, The Goomba King w/ The Goomba Bros, The Koopa Bros. (a quadruple boss who are also an obvious [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] parody), and several others. ''[[Paper Mario:
* The second fight with Butcher Oleander in ''[[Psychonauts]]'', when Misperceived Evil Raz's Dad backs him up. Note that the two-headed Freakazoid Dad is a regular old boss.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series:
** ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' featured a fight with Bowser and Bowser Jr. simultaneously. Not that Mario actually had to [[Puzzle Boss|directly fight them...]]
** The two also team up for the final battle in ''[[New Super Mario Bros]]''.
** Bowser teamed up with ''himself from the past'' in ''[[
** A disputed example is Eyerok (the two "hand golems") from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'s'' [[Shifting Sand Land]].
* Mander and Dogman from ''[[MediEvil 2|Medi Evil 2]]'', both of which are faced together [[Recurring Boss|on two occasions.]]
Line 145:
*** You also face them together briefly in the prologue, though in this case it's a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]].
** In the sequel, you take on Karst and Agatio on top of Jupiter Lighthouse, then fight them again in Mars Lighthouse.
** ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|Dark Dawn]]'' follows in its predecessors' footsteps with Blados and Chalis, as well as the Kaocho generals Ku-Tsung and Ku-Embra. {{spoiler|Blados and Chalis fight you twice over as a pair; the second time, they're escorted by the Chaos Hound, aka Volechek}}.
* In ''Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix'', you fight a Dual Boss battle against The Torturer (who's armed with an M60 heavy machinegun) and Deviant1 (who's up on a balcony with a sniper rifle) inside a prison yard. Both characters do increased damage, so much so that Deviant1 can kill you with a single shot. They also can absorb more bullets than a normal human, although the difference isn't too unrealistic. The game is otherwise devoid of boss fights (except for 2 battles against an enemy helicopter).
* The final battle in ''The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay'' is one of these, as you fight two man-sized mechs that serve as the [[Big Bad]]'s personal bodyguards.
Line 213:
** The KH series has a few more which are essentially two-part bosses, such as Barbossa and Clayton.
** Then there's the Crimson Prankster in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358 Days Over 2|358/2 Days]]'', who revive each other if not killed in quick succession.
** ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' gives Aqua a wonderful fight against [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hades and the Ice Colossus]], a copy of the Ice Titan, during her storyline.
** KH series loves this, especially to up the power on some arena bosses, who were usually a problem alone, but as a pair are [[Blatant Lies|quite more fun]]. KH1 had [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud]] and <s>Squall</s> [[Final Fantasy VIII|Leon]]. KH2 had [[Final Fantasy VII|Tifa and Yuffie]]. BBS had [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hades]] and [[Final Fantasy VII|Zack]].
* ''[[Rise of the Triad]]'' has an add-on, appropriately-titled ''Extreme [[Rise of the Triad]]'' (now available as a free download from 3D Realms), where one of the levels forces the player to fight two copies of the game's second boss. Only one of the two bosses needs to be killed by the player to end the level, but it makes the task ''much'' harder than fighting just the one, like in the regular game.
