{{trope}}
{{Video Game Examples Need Sorting}}
A [[Video Game]] trope. The idea is that once you defeat a character, you can then play as said character. May be a type of [[Unlockable Content]], just as a bonus, or it may be necessary to continue the game.
Compare [[Defeat Means Friendship]]. Compare and contrast [[Power Copying]].

* After [[Shin Megami Tensei I|the first]] game, ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' generally requires bosses to be beat in order to fuse them.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:

* ''[[OneChanbara]]''
* ''[[Panel
* Many [[Nippon Ichi]] [[Bonus Boss]]es become playable characters after you defeat them.
** In the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series, any monster class that isn't in your party from the start must be defeated once before it can be used. There are two ways to do this:
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
* In ''[[Jays Journey]]'', Puff and Shade both join after a boss fight (Puff's can be lost a la [[Hopeless Boss Fight]], though, as the misunderstanding is sorted out either way.)
* ''[[Mario Golf]]'' has a Get Character mode specifically for this. The sequel, ''Toadstool Tour'' has you defeat characters to get the "star" version of that character, which shoot further with a smaller sweet spot.
* In ''[[Mario
* In order to unlock Raiden in ''[[Mortal Kombat]] Deception'', you have to fight and beat him in the Orderrealm after beating Konquest Mode. Doubles as something of a [[Guide Dang It]], in that the fight with Raiden is available to you before this as well, but with a different, lesser reward.
* In [[Recettear]], several of the potential adventurers start as the final bosses of the various dungeons that you must first defeat in order to get them to work for you.
