In Platform Games, you'll often meet a monumental boss who's about as large as the screen and stands in the background layer behind the platforms, facing toward the screen. It'll typically stand stock-still while swinging its Giant Hands of Doom or using a Breath Weapon or something. You may have to engage in a small Colossus Climb to reach its Weak Spot, (often its huge, grinning noggin), but in all cases the body of the boss (with obvious exception of its weak point and attacks) is not a threat even if the game features loose Collision Damage and your character is a One-Hit-Point Wonder.
In 3D games, these are much rarer due to the less obvious distinction between "foreground" and "background", but can still apply if the battle is fought at long range and it is (for whatever reason) impossible to actually close distance with the boss.
Due to the impressive difference in scale between these guys and everything else in the game, they are often the Final Boss, or at least a Climax Boss. As such, beware of minor spoilers in these examples!

Genshin Impact has the battle against the Stormterror at the end of the first Archon Quest. The fight starts off as an aerial chase, but eventually becomes a standard boss fight with the primary challenge being evading the Stormterror's attacks and occasionally hitting it when weak points appear.

Battletoads:
The first boss of the original game inverts this with a boss-view cam. Played straight with Robo-Manus' final boss fight in the Game Boy game.
In Battletoads (2020), the trio battle the guardians watching over The Dark Queen from the outside after it interrupts their Toad-Sham-Bo game.

The final boss of the second Disgaea Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? spin off game. One happens later through the game. You finally catch the culprit and he uses his Summon Magic to call out the Elemental Dispatcher...which appears to be rather busy at the moment. Still, the fight ensues with the Elemental chatting someone on the phone while nonchalantly providing aid to your enemy. It's hilarious to watch since she is just as big as the castle you are in and she couldn't just be bothered to just finish the fight in an instant.

Several bosses in the original Mega Man (Classic) series were coded as background objects, due to the limitations of the NES graphics engine, but the best example is probably Gamma, the final boss of Mega Man 3. Only the very top of its head was vulnerable (and only to two weapons), and aside from its weak spot and its hands, it didn't inflict Collision Damage.

Kirby has several examples of this:
Fatty Whale in Kirby Super Star can leap at you from way in the background to create a rising wall of water.
Kirby Super Star has Wham Bam Rock. Kirby Super Star Ultra also has Wham Bam Jewel.
Partial examples: Adeline from Dream Land 3 and The Crystal Shards. She is an artist whose drawings come to life, and most of the battle is actually against previous Kirby boss characters that she summons while she hides behind her easel. Adeleine only comes out to assault Kirby personally at the very end, at which point a single attack defeats her.
Many of the end-of-planet bosses in Crystal Shards do this (though Adeleine is end-of-stage).
Kirby's Return to Dream Land has HR-D3, which spends a lot of the time in the background attacking you with its fists (that can attacked for damage) and projectiles.
Deluxe adds the Master Crown, which stays in the background for the majority of its fight. The only way you can attack it is via damaging the roots it sends out in one of its attacks.
Every single boss in Kirby: Triple Deluxe spends time in the background for some of their attacks. The final boss in particular remains like this for almost the entirety of the battle, exclusively using Attack Drones (which are also what you need to attack) to fight you until the last phase.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: Baby Bowser's amped-up magical form, as shown in the header picture. Unique in that he uses the powers of Super FX to slowly stomp toward the foreground, looming larger and larger. Also unique in that instead of a Colossus Climb or other attempt to exploit his large geometry, the fight consists of the two of you shelling each other (with actual eggshells, no less) over long background distances. You need to use the shells to knock him back, or else he destroys the platform you're standing on.

World of Warcraft:
Kologarn, a giant construct in the Ulduar raid of Wrath of the Lich King with Cognizant Limb and Eye Beams.
Kologarn's framework has served for several other Expansion Pack bosses since Wrath of the Lich King, such as Sinestra in the Bastion of Twilight raid of Cataclysm, Kromog in the Blackrock Foundry raid of Warlords of Draenor, Krosus in the Nighthold raid of Legion, the Humongous Mecha of King Mechagon in the Operation Mechagon dungeon of Battle for Azeroth and Mueh'zala in the dungeon De Other Side of Shadowlands.
Deathwing spends most of the Madness of Deathwing encounter looking menacing in the background and not doing much else. The actual fight is based around destroying the tentacles he's holding onto the platforms with while fighting off the numerous adds he summons to stop you. It is only in the last phase of the fight, after all his tentacles are destroyed, that Deathwing's head falls into the player's reach and he becomes directly attackable.

Strider:
Strider (Arcade): The Final Boss, Caduceus, is fought in space while Hiryu stands in a small platform in the foreground. It requires Hiryu to do a Colossus Climb through either of its arms to reach its weak point, the head. The Aluminium Hydra in Stage 2 also attacks from the center of the stage and is completely out-of-range, being vulnerable only when its heads try to attack Hiryu.
Strider (2014) features two such bosses as well: The Hover Tank "Tornado" remains always in the background as it peppers Hiryu with projectiles, becoming vulnerable only when it tries to ram him; and the Final Boss Meio Prime works in much the same way as Caduceus did, sans Colossus Climb.

Many bosses in the Metal Slug series of games are of this type. Metal Slug 5 had a rather awesome final battle in the form of a gargantuan flying demon wielding a scythe. The first phase of the Final Boss battle in 7 has the Kraken sitting in the distance while it remotely controls its tentacles to attack you. Kraken will only choose a more direct assault once all its tentacles are destroyed, beginning the second phase.

This actually occurs in a rather subtle way in Super Mario World. Bowser is actually not a sprite on the screen — it's rendered as part of the backgroundnote which allows him to use mode 7 effects such as scaling and rotation, as explained in this video, making him a rather meta example of this trope.

EXTRAPOWER: Star Resistance: Stage 1 boss Undata returns in stage 5, having been embiggened by dark energy once more. As the player ascends the Shakun Star central compuer tower, Undata is visible through the glass behind it, too big to fully fit on screen. His massive drill arms stab through the sides and let his assault-type Clay Kids pour in. The player has to dodge his drills and subsequent attacks while doing enough damage to the drills to repel them.

Super Mario Bros.:

Bowser is actually not a sprite on the screen — it's rendered as part of the backgroundnote which allows him to use mode 7 effects such as scaling and rotation, as explained in this video, making him a rather meta example of this trope.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: Baby Bowser's amped-up magical form, as shown in the header picture. Unique in that he uses the powers of Super FX to slowly stomp toward the foreground, looming larger and larger. Also unique in that instead of a Colossus Climb or other attempt to exploit his large geometry, the fight consists of the two of you shelling each other (with actual eggshells, no less) over long background distances. You need to use the shells to knock him back, or else he destroys the platform you're standing on.
Wario Land: The first game, Virtual Boy Wario Land and Wario Land 3 feature background final bosses — respectively, a Genie in a Bottle, another genie, and Rudy the Clown.
In Yoshi's Island DS, Bowser turns into this with Kamek's magic. but this time, he's right in front of you and just breathes fire and knocks boulders on you.

Donkey Kong:
Donkey Kong '94: The absolutely very last fight with the ape involves him transforming into a very "kingly" foe.
DK: Jungle Climber features King K. Rool increased in size with the power of the Crystal Bananas.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: In the GBA port, you've got the boss Kerozene (added to K Rool's Keep/Stronghold Showdown as a boss). You can see it here.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: Squirt's Showdown, Bleak's House, and the Nautilus. Squirt rests behind a waterfall, Bleak flings snowballs at you from atop a hill, and in the Nautilus, K. Rool alternates between hovering back and forth in the background and coming up front.
Donkey Kong 64: The castle boss is a wooden mockup of K.Rool held behind the castle's parapets. The only way to attack it is by launching your Kongs out of a barrel cannon.
Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tiki Tong is one up until you destroy his hands, as he first heeps his head in the background, safe from your attacks.

Mega Man X and X5 have the last form of Sigma be one of these, with only the head and the two claws being foreground objects. (The X5 example is even a direct Call-Back to the aforementioned Gamma, as Dr. Wily himself was responsible for creating Sigma's battle body.) X2 and X3 pit you against similar bosses at the end of the introductory stage, though they're much less of an obstacle.

Mega Man X7:
The miniboss in Tornado Tonion's stage that follows you up the tower (he's in the center and you move around the outside of the tower), only his claws and head are vulnerable.
Sigma's final form is an enormous body that's fought in space, with your characters on floating platforms. He teleports around and unleashes several varieties of projectiles both far away and up close, and has a rushing punch attack. X and Axl can shoot him at almost any distance, while Zero has to either reflect certain projectiles or wait till Sigma punches to score hits.

Minecraft adventure maps:
Herobrine's Return: Koragor is a fire giant who fights you from the background. He's much too big for you to fight head-on, so you instead have to shoot targets on his arms while he spews fireballs at the platforms you're standing on and summons Blazes.
Diversity 2 ends with a fight against a giant mecha Wither, which attacks from the background. It spews explosive projectiles at the platforms you're staying on, and can only be damaged by precise shots at its eyes.
Diversity 3's Boss Battle branch takes place in the background, as Stone launches attacks at you while you try to help Steve break it. Zigzagged, as some phases of the boss have you fighting mini-bosses head-on.

Similar to the above, M.A.C.E. from Intrusion 2 will jump into the background and fire out a huge laser and Macross Missile Massacre spam, while immune to attacks...unless he uses yellow missiles, which can be shot back at him to harm him.

Contra provides several examples:
The Stages 2, 3 and 4 bosses of the NES port of Contra.
The Stage 3 boss of the arcade version of Super Contra, and the Stage 7 boss of the NES version.
The stage 3 boss of Contra III: The Alien Wars.
The stage 4 and 7 bosses of Contra 4.
The stage 1 mid-boss of Contra: Hard Corps, as well as the bosses from both second stages.
The boss of Stage 2-1 in Contra: Shattered Soldier first attacks you from the background, then moves into your plane.

Gundam Vs Series: The Colony Devil Gundam in Gundam vs. Gundam/Next; its only vulnerable portion being the standard-sized torso mounted atop a giant Gundam head with a Breath Weapon. In addition to Beam Spam and throwing out lots of Assist Characters, it borrows from the 2D version of this trope and will occasionally summon gigantic fists to strike the map (though thankfully there is a warning indicator showing precisely where it's going to hit).

Doom II: Rather than being a sprite like other monsters in the game, the final boss makes up one of the walls of the last chamber. Its attack method is to fire cubes at pre-determined locations, spawning monsters (which can telefrag you if you're not paying attention). The only way to win was to fire rockets through the small opening in his forehead. The boss reappears in one of the Master Levels, and also reprises the role of Final Boss in both halves of Final Doom.

Bug: Multiple bosses:
The giant horned lizard stays in the background at all times, and you have to launch boulders at it.
The giant octopus stays in the background, grabbing fish and throwing them at you until you hit three of them back at him.
The Abominable Snowbug chucks massive snowballs from the background for the first half of the fight, and again when it throws massive snowballs that split into five.
Queen Cadavra spawns baby spiders from the background, and fires at the floor with her eight machine guns, before attempting to body slam Bug.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron has the Fire Nephilim fought at the end of Chapter 5. Just like a normal Nephilim, but much bigger and much more dangerous. It's so big, Enoch cannot actually defeat it it's eaten by a much bigger Nephilim that used to be one of the Watchers. Luckily, that one's not fought, it's vaporized in a cutscene.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance:
At one point, you are going through the Skrull homeworld. Being in space, who should be calmly striding through the background but Galactus. You fight him at the very end of the level, but during it, you have to dodge his attacks and minions.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: One of the two Marvel Giant-Men (you fight one or the other, depending on who you sided with in the Civil War — going Pro results in you fighting Goliath, whom the crazy Thor clone killed in the comics, while choosing Anti pits you against Yellowjacket).

The giant Moai head in Gradius Rebirth. In order to defeat it, you have to destroy the core when it pops out of the head and starts bouncing around, all the while dodging smaller Moai heads and the lightning that generates when the core hits the ceiling or floor.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus: Lord Avalugg destroys most of its boss arena when it wakes up, leaving the player stuck on a small jut of rock while the boss stands in the newly-formed crater. Since the player can neither retreat nor climb down to where Avalugg is, the battle is spent dodging his constant barrage of ice-based attacks and waiting for him to become exhausted enough for you to throw your Pokémon down at him, weaken him a bit, and prepare for the next onslaught.

Bully: The bosses are the Clique leaders. For the Nerds, you do not fight the leader himself, as he obviously isn't able to hold his own against someone like Jimmy, who has up to that point beaten up three whole cliques (and probably a few prefects if you're lucky enough). Instead, he uses his inventions to get you at range, so the boss fight is actually taking out his inventions to force him to surrender once he has no weapons left.

A very interesting example in Cannon Dancer: While the Final Boss Slaver is actually faced normally sized, there's also a huge image of her in the background and it actually performs the attacks against Kirin. This image is first seen fully, but as Slaver's health depletes, it starts getting closer and closer to the screen until only its angry face covers the whole background.

Rockman CX, in a clear Shout-Out to the Yoshi's Island example used as the page image, has the final boss, Dr. Light, grow to massive proportions to fight Rockman CX.

Partial examples: Adeline from Dream Land 3 and The Crystal Shards. She is an artist whose drawings come to life, and most of the battle is actually against previous Kirby boss characters that she summons while she hides behind her easel. Adeleine only comes out to assault Kirby personally at the very end, at which point a single attack defeats her.

In Muramasa: The Demon Blade, the final boss of the standard ending to Momohime's story is a giant statue of the guardian of heaven, Fudo-Myoo. As two lesser deities try to attack you, you must disrupt the barrier protecting various parts of Fudo-Myoo's body by destroying the lesser deities. It's made harder by the fact that large rocks are constantly threatening to crush you and the two deities have some powerful attacks that they will happily unleash upon you.

Mega Man:
Several bosses in the original Mega Man (Classic) series were coded as background objects, due to the limitations of the NES graphics engine, but the best example is probably Gamma, the final boss of Mega Man 3. Only the very top of its head was vulnerable (and only to two weapons), and aside from its weak spot and its hands, it didn't inflict Collision Damage.
Mega Man X and X5 have the last form of Sigma be one of these, with only the head and the two claws being foreground objects. (The X5 example is even a direct Call-Back to the aforementioned Gamma, as Dr. Wily himself was responsible for creating Sigma's battle body.) X2 and X3 pit you against similar bosses at the end of the introductory stage, though they're much less of an obstacle.
Rangda Bangda is a series-wide Recurring Boss in different forms (first in X1, then X5 and lastly in Zero 4 as Randam Bandam), is the background.
Eregion, the first boss of Mega Man X4, fought near the very start of the introductory level. This fight is a Skippable Boss, however, and the player can opt to move forward and avoid its attacks instead. Either way, it becomes a proper boss at the end, but now it's on the foreground.
Mega Man X6 features a background miniboss in Illumina, fought in the Weapons Center. You spend much of the level dodging its attacks (and those of the enemies) while trying to reach and destroy two large power cables; destroying the second cable causes Illumina to self-destruct.
The Warmup Boss Crabs-Y in Mega Man X8 is fought in three battles. In the second battle it's hiding behind a waterfall while using its detachable pincers to attack.

The Moon Lord of Terraria always appears in the background "behind" the player, and most of its body does not deal contact damage. The eyes, and the mouths where the eyes used to be after they fly out of its body, still deal damage on touch. These also happen to be the only locations of the Moon Lord that the player can damage.
