| Chasing Your Tail | comment |
A type of boss battle characterized by the player and the boss running around in circles trying to catch each other and/or running away from each other. Often times, the boss room will be composed of one big circular path. The Boss itself will attack the player by chasing the player around the path. Usually, the Boss' only weak point will be on their back, meaning that the player must run all the way around until they "catch up" to the boss in order to damage it. Sometimes, the boss might turn around and cause the chase to change directions, which is often annoying to the player because it basically reverses any progress they've made running towards the boss' back. In some cases, the boss might be vulnerable from any angle, but will constantly run away from the player. In such cases, it might be necessary to "outsmart" the boss by changing directions yourself and hoping the boss is stupid enough to run into you from the other side. Not to be confused with chasing the other kind of tail. Compare Cat-and-Mouse Boss. If it's happening in three dimensions because both sides are equipped with a Fixed Forward-Facing Weapon, then it's an Old-School Dogfight. |

Brain Monster | |
| Chasing Your Tail / int_63389669 | comment |
When facing Andross' Brain Monster form in Star Fox 64, after the eyes are destroyed, the player is forced to chase his only weak spot, the Cerebellum (located on ventral-posterior). The result can be extended periods of mutualistic tail chasing while remaining comically close on the radar. | |

Old-School Dogfight | |
| Chasing Your Tail / int_fdeed2aa | comment |
Thanks to a slight aversion of Old-School Dogfight, you can avert this in Project Sylpheed: fly in a straight line to get the enemy to follow you before cutting the engines, turning around, and blasting them to smithereens while flying backwards. Most missiles can also lock in any direction. | |
