Line 9:
So, you've defeated the [[Final Boss]] after a long and hard battle, the good old victory music that played after defeating the other bosses kicks in, and your character does his [[Victory Dance|usual dance...]]
But then, [[Letting the Air Out of the Band|the music suddenly grinds to a halt]] as the boss suddenly gets back up again and reveals his [[One-Winged Angel]] form. Your character stops his dance, realising he now has to fight a ''much bigger, badder form'' of the boss he was fighting. This is when a boss pulls a
Subtrope of [[Hope Spot]] and [[Sequential Boss]]. Compare [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]] and [[Trick Boss]]. If the player character dies during an actual victory scene, it's a [[Kaizo Trap]].

Line 40:
* 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.
* Likewise, a similar thing happens in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', after the [[Disc One Final Boss]] Landia is defeated. Magolor seizes the dragon's [[MacGuffin|Master Crown]] and reveals that he had been plotting a [[Batman Gambit]] to rule the universe all along, with [[Kirby]] and co. as the [[Unwitting Pawn
** 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.
