Victory Fakeout: Difference between revisions

* Subverted in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', where the fake [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|kredits]] during the final battle is blatently obvious, such as enemy names in place of developer names, and the fact the final battle theme continues to play regardless.

* In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', after beating Yin-Yarn, Kirby and Prince Fluff do their usual victory dance, but then the large needles he left behind come to life to knit a larger, mechanical version of Yin-Yarn. Cue epic [[Humongous Mecha]] battle.

** For an example with the victory music playing and dying down when the boss arises, there's the battle against yet ''another'' [[Disc One Final Boss]], the Grand Doomer. The boss stage is just a room with the final piece of Magolor's broken ship, until you attempt to get it, and the piece transforms into the boss. Why, did you think you were going to get that mast without even having to fight?

* After defeating Bowser in ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii|New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Mario (and the other players if playing multiplayer) looks up at Princess Peach, only to be revealed to be Kamek in disguise, who then casts a spell on Bowser, making him colossal.

** At the end of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Bowser first appears to have been flung into space as a result of Mario [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] his own meteorites at him, but just right before he can even get the last Grand Star, Bowser flies back up, eats the Grand Star, and becomes huge again, and as a result Mario had to ground-pound more meteorites at him to finish him off.

** ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' did this twice: After the first battle against Bowser, Mario runs up to Peach's chamber to find a cardboard cutout of the Princess, and then sees Bowser carrying the captive Peach, who then mocks him and jumps off the tower. This also happens again during the ''real'' final battle, where Mario knocks Bowser into a lava pit (after he {{spoiler|[[Donkey Kong|throws barrels at Mario]]}})... ...and then Bowser jumps back up and starts chasing him.
