* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]: Nightmare Troubadour'', one section of the game pits you against a mind-controlled Joey. Winning ''or'' losing this battle results in a Game Over, so you have to use particular cards to make the game end in a draw. (This comes straight from the series, though it had a different explanation.)
* In ''[[Blue Dragon]]'', when you encounter Marumaro for the first time, he will fight you to prevent you from interfering with his quest for medicine for his village.
* The [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] game ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]] Game Hen'' has everyone's favorite [[Space Pirate]] Ryoko Hakubi as a late-game boss, following her [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|abuction]] by the [[Big Bad]] halfway through the story. It's a bit of a subversion in that defeating Ryoko earns the player a Game Over; the object of the mission is to defeat the Ryoko ''clones'' (easily identifiable as [[Palette Swap|recolors]] of the real one]] who are acting as the real one's [[Flunky Boss|flunkies]].
* ''[[Xenogears]]'' uses this trope several times too. There's only three party members you don't fight at some point in the story.
* ''[[Advance Wars]]: Dual Strike'' features a [[Unfortunate Implications|disturbing]] version of this, in which potential allies pit their armies against yours in order to test your skills as a commander. If you follow the story from the perspective that the game's units represent actual human soldiers, it's actually rather horrifying.
