Platform Battle: Difference between revisions

* Several ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' games have this, especially the 3D ones. A notable example is the Egg Golem boss from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', where the boss is positioned in the center of a floating ring of platforms with quicksand below. Falling down there in Sonic's version of the boss isn't immediately fatal, but Eggman's mech will sink if it comes in contact with the sand instead of one of the lower platforms.

** In ''[[Sonic Advance 3]]'', the Twinkle Snow area boss is one of the game's [[That One Boss|toughest challenges]], as the player must constantly climb an array of [[Temporary Platform|falling platforms]] while the boss [[Rise to the Challenge|relentlessly pursues from below]], hoping that the platforms will strike the mech and damage it. Without falling off in the process, of course.

* Most ''[[Wario Land]] 2'' and ''3'' bosses, because falling down and having to redo part of the level is the only punishment the game could give Wario due to his complete invincibility to any damage. Basically, each boss would have one attack which is basically to throw Wario out the arena and have him find his way back. Some more normal examples are the last real boss in Wario Land, fought on an invisible floor only the boss can stand on (so Wario has to jump on the boss repeatedly) as well as the Psycho Beaver and Mutant Mouse bosses in the sequel.

* ''[[Ys]]'' has this in spades, especially [[Final Boss|final bosses]]. During the battle with Dark Fact, a piece of the platform disappears everytime you hit him.
