Line 74:
* In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', one would expect Umber, one of the four Guardians (in this case, of the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire), to put up a fight. {{spoiler|Instead, he simply waits for Rayman to take up residence on his head and then walks along the lava corridor and eventually is submerged completely, but not before enabling Rayman to jump off onto the platform bearing the mask Umber is supposed to protect.}} Umber explains this in ''Revolution'': {{spoiler|Ly contacted Umber, telling him about Rayman and his efforts to defeat Razorbeard. He knew Rayman was the chosen one without a doubt, and willingly gave him passage to the mask, where Rayman then met Razorbeard's [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|robot pirates]] waiting to ambush him.}}
* The very first boss in ''[[Monster Party]]'' is simply a crab corpse that apologizes for being dead. There is also a later boss fight against a pair of zombies that can be defeated by just watching them dance as they tell you to.
* Dracula in ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]''. Okay, small explanation here; by "Dracula", this does indeed mean the [[Big Bad]] of the franchise himself, but as the ''first'' boss in the game. You literally cannot lose this fight; even if you just stand still and take his attacks, Maria will appear and cast a spell on Richter that makes him invincible. Justified, however, as this battle is a [[Flashback]] presented [[Gameplay and Story Integration| as history, and is scripted]], the player being in sort of an Inverted [[Controlled Helplessness]] situation. However, it is still in your best interests to defeat him as quickly as possible, because doing so increases Alucard's stats when the main story starts.
