A Legacy Boss Battle is a boss from one game that appears as a boss in a later installment as a throwback, often in the form of an Optional Boss or Superboss. In those cases, the boss rarely changes its tactics and techniques, as the intent is to preserve their original battle to begin with. At best, you may see a new move or two, but otherwise the whole thing is relatively unchanged. Sometimes, the recycling happens because the developers wanted to cut costs or had little time to come up something more unique. Other times, the battle is just popular enough to be considered worth the effort. Of important note is that most Legacy Bosses are only fightable in the post-game or side areas, and have little to no role in the plot, making them closer to a reward, Easter Egg or just a way to tug your nostalgia strings (for this reason, they are generally much harder than the original boss fight). If they do appear in the main path, then they are likely a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere and the game will do only the bare minimum to justify their presence. Remakes in particular love to do this, adding bosses from the original entries' sequels as a form of Call-Forward. If the boss' game of origin is from another franchise, then these might be Mythology Gags or Lawyer Friendly Cameos as well. Compare and contrast Degraded Boss, Recurring Boss Template, Previous Player-Character Cameo, Hijacked by Ganon, Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome. Nostalgia Level is the stage version. |

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Both Puzzle Plank Galaxy's missions has Mario (or Luigi) fighting the Mandibug bosses for the Power Star: the Mandibug Stack for the normal star, and Bugaboom for the hidden star. Throwback Galaxy is basically a throwback to Super Mario 64's Whomp's Fortress. So who also returned to become the galaxy's boss? Whomp King. And he sure Took a Level in Badass big time. Boss Blitz Galaxy is a World S Boss Rush mission, where all five bosses are ones from the original game not fought anywhere else. In order, the bosses fought are Dino Piranha, King Kaliente, Major Burrows, Boldergeist and Fiery Dino Piranha. |

If you take the alternate path on Corneria in Star Fox 64note Save Falco then fly under all the archways in the water section, the boss fight is the Attack Carrier from the original Star Fox. Defeating it will take you to Sector Y instead of the Asteroid Field stage. | |

Mario Party: The Top 100: The Final Battle from Mario Party 4, which was originally the last Story Mode minigame of that game and settled the fight between the player's character and Bowser, serves as the final minigame in Minigame Island. The fight remains the same aside from some tweaks and changes, but is now presented in a different context from its original game's premise. | |

Both Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 feature boss battles against a spider-scorpion demon named Phantom. Strangely, Phantom's reappearance in 2 is given no explanation or acknowledgement from the characters despite being killed by Dante in the first game, and you need to fight him to progress the stage, making him a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere as well. | |

Perhaps the most iconic example is Baal, described as the strongest demon in existence and the strongest Superboss in each game he appears in. Despite this status, Baal has suffered from being Demoted to Extra in later Nippon Ichi games. One game has him explicitly replaced by Makai Kingdom's Valvoga. | |

Years before the above two, Sonic 3 & Knuckles has two boss fights partway through Sky Sanctuary Zone, in which Mecha Sonic pilots replicas of the Green Hill Zone boss from Sonic 1 and the Metropolis Zone boss from Sonic 2. Interestingly, while the bosses' behavior was essentially identical, the newer game's slightly different physics made the former more difficult and the latter considerably easier. Flying Battery Zone even has a replica of the Wing Fortress Zone boss from 2, but unlike before it is too high up to hit normally, and the machine instead defeats itself. | |

In the Etrian Odyssey series, there's the Dragon, Drake and Wyrm (later known as the Storm Emperor, Blizzard King and Great Dragon respectively). They're mighty dragons corresponding to Fire, Ice, Lightning and have been in every mainline game and their remakes except for Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth. Defeating them is the objective of postgame quests and are key to raising the level cap by 10 each (except in the first two games). | |

Shantae has the Squid Baron, who first appears in Shantae: Risky's Revenge as an important part of the storyline and later appears in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse as a Filler Boss with new tricks up his sleeve and higher difficulty. This gets multiple lampshades throughout the game, as the Squid Baron, aware of his nature as a video game character and why he returned for another game, repeatedly bemoans his reduced role in the plot. | |

While in the original game, he's basically an Easter Egg who rarely appears suddenly in the office and crashes the game if you don't immediately look away, in the sequel, he wanders the halls with the other animatronics, though he's by far the deadliest of them all. | |

A few DLC bosses in the Coliseum in Final Fantasy XIII-2 are these, including PuPu, Ultros and Typhon, Omega and Gilgamesh. In the main game, all the optional bosses that can be fought in Archylte Steppe are either exactly the same as or functionally identical to Cie'th Stone mission bosses from Final Fantasy XIII - Ochu, Gigantuar, Immortal and Long Gui are taken from the previous game (though Long Gui is severely downgraded in terms of difficulty), while Yomi fights exactly the same way as Superboss Vercingetorix from the previous game. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 features a number of unique enemies who reappear from previous games, such as Immovable Gonzalez, who appeared in both the previous two installments. The expansion, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed also includes a handful of these, notably; Dark Murakmor, a bird-like monster that perches on Colony 9's anti air battery 3 returns as Tenebrous Muramasa (Tenebrous being a synonym for Dark). Avalance Abassy, the first game's highest level Superboss returns as Fogdweller Abassy, where it reprises it's role, though only level 100, oppsed to Avalanche's level 120. | |

Persona: Persona and the Persona 2 duology combine this trope with Varying Tactics Boss to keep you on your toes: Takahisa Kandori from the first game returns in Eternal Punishment. Tatsuya Sudou, Ginji Sasaki and Shadow Maya are fought in both parts of P2. In an example that's both this and a Call-Forward, the PSP version of Persona 3 adds an optional boss battle against Margaret, the Velvet Room attendant from Persona 4. This is because the PSP Updated Re-release of 3 was developed after 4. The infamously difficult Sleeping Table from Persona 3 returns in Persona 4 as a miniboss in Yomotsu Hirasaka, though thankfully nowhere near as difficult as it was originally. In the Updated Re-release of Persona 5, you have the option to fight the Protagonists of Persona 3 and Persona 4 as Superbosses. |

If a Disney world is recycled in a subsequent installment, then it is expected that their villain will be too, since there is only so much room for its plot to expand and the games usually don't dabble in supplementary materials (say, TV series), if there is any. Out of the Disney villains who appear in the first game, the only one who does not make a return in a sequel is Clayton, and that is because Disney lost the license to Tarzan. Special mention goes to Hades, who is fought in nearly every game since his world also appears in nearly every game. | |

Pokémon has a few examples: Cynthia, Sinnoh's champion, appears as a Superboss in Pokémon Black and White. Later, in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, you can face every Gym Leader and Champion from preceding games. Most of them are fought in the World Tournament, but some of the retired Gym leaders from Black And White, and N are fought in different areas, and only one Gym Leader is excluded (Koga, as he left to join the second Kanto Elite Four, and his daughter Janine took over as Gym Leader and is present instead). Mewtwo appears in a cave that is off-limits until after the end of Pokémon X and Y. To enter the Battle Tree in the postgame of Pokémon Sun and Moon, you have to do battle with either Red or Blue from the first generation. Within the Battle Tree, they, along with various other cameos you've encountered in the game like Colress or Grimsley, can appear as opponents at various streak milestones. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has a new storyline where the player has to face the bosses of the villain teams from preceding games. |

Tekken: Heihachi Mishima recurs as a boss character, since he is usually the one who hosts the Iron Fist tournament. He is the final opponent in the first game and 4, and the penultimate opponent in 3. The Arcade Mode of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ends with a string of bosses from previous games: Heihachi and Jinpachi (final boss of 5) in Stage 7, Ogre (final boss of 3) in Stage 8, and Jun/Unknown (final boss of the first Tag) in Stage 9. The boss characters in Tekken 7 are special matches against The Devil, Shin Heihachi, Akuma, Geese Howard & Negan. |

There are several in Mega Man X5: The Warm-Up Boss in the optional training area is a weakened version of Magma Dragoon from X4, having access only to his most basic attacks. When you reach the end of the first Zero Space stage, Doctor Wily's logo is visible in the background for the first time in the X series. Then after the Boss Warning Siren, a remix of the Mega Man fortress boss theme plays, and the Shadow Devil, a recolor of the Yellow Devil from the same game, makes its entrance. The second Zero Space stage boss is Rangda Bangda from Mega Man X, complete with a remix of the fortress boss theme from that game. |

Mega Man X6: Dynamo appears again as a Recurring Boss, even if he has no real bearing in the plot or major differences in his moveset. He's exclusive to the secret routes you can take, but only after dealing with High-Max or Nightmare Zero, so he's mostly there to give you a way to obtain better ranks (and equips as result). | |

If you have completed both Zero 3 and 4 in their cartridges, linking them to the DS slot can let you fight 4 of each game's bosses in the same area and defeating them all gives you the same reward. | |

Geese Howard in the Fatal Fury series. To date he's been in every game in the series except Fatal Fury 2 and Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and of those, only one has him as not as a boss or a final boss. Usually, they use a "Nightmare" version of him to justify his appearances, seeing that he's canonically supposed to be dead in the Fatal Fury timeline. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: A Pre-Final Boss example. In Sonic Advance's final stage, Dr. Eggman uses both the Egg Mobile's wrecking ball (Egg Mobile-H) from Sonic the Hedgehog and the drill-tipped vehicle (Egg Mobile-D) from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, complete with the boss themes from both games, before the actual Final Boss battle occurs. Notably, each fight has half the durability they had before. And there seems to be no other reason for Eggman to go to the trouble of reenacting fights that he had lost before. In Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I, all of the boss fights start out as Legacy Bosses (though the Mad Gear boss works rather differently from its Metropolis Zone predecessor), befitting a game made entirely up of Nostalgia Levels. Episode II pretends it's going to do the same in Sylvania Castle, only to have the real boss turn up and destroy the Sonic 2 Call-Back totem poles. Years before the above two, Sonic 3 & Knuckles has two boss fights partway through Sky Sanctuary Zone, in which Mecha Sonic pilots replicas of the Green Hill Zone boss from Sonic 1 and the Metropolis Zone boss from Sonic 2. Interestingly, while the bosses' behavior was essentially identical, the newer game's slightly different physics made the former more difficult and the latter considerably easier. Flying Battery Zone even has a replica of the Wing Fortress Zone boss from 2, but unlike before it is too high up to hit normally, and the machine instead defeats itself. Every boss in Sonic Generations except the Final Boss, due to the game's nature as a Milestone Celebration. The console version has Death Egg Robot, Perfect Chaos and Egg Dragoon, while the handheld version has Big Arm, the Biolizard and Egg Emperor. As a Retraux throwback to the Genesis games, Sonic Mania includes several Legacy Boss Battles, such as the Death Egg Robot, Metal Sonic, the Final Zone, and even Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. |

No More Heroes: Destroyman is fought in every main game as a story boss, returning as the cybernetic twins New Destroyman in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and as Destroyman True Face in No More Heroes III. There's generally no reason for this since he's a pretty minor foe in the grand scheme of things, and his moveset does not change much in-between releases (at least between the first and second games). | |

To enter the Battle Tree in the postgame of Pokémon Sun and Moon, you have to do battle with either Red or Blue from the first generation. Within the Battle Tree, they, along with various other cameos you've encountered in the game like Colress or Grimsley, can appear as opponents at various streak milestones. | |

Priere, the main character of La Pucelle, almost always appears as this trope in Disgaea games. The twist is that she appears in her demonic form from the secret joke ending of her game. This resulted in La Pucelle's remake having an Alternate Timeline Demon Priere story. | |

In Mega Man Zero 3, taking a secret detour in the second fortress stage will take you to a teleporter. Go inside, and you'll meet Phantom from the first game, or rather his "ghost" since he died. Defeat him and you'll get the Infinity Plus One Foot Chip. | |

After defeating all the Robot Masters in Mega Man 3, four new stages open up, each having two Doc Robots (one as a mid boss, one as an end boss). Each Doc Robot takes on the exact same attack pattern of one of the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, and their sprite is even seen descending into the Doc Robot before the fight starts. | |

Kingdom Hearts III: The Keyblade War sequence consists of a string of Legacy Boss Battles, including Ansem Seeker of Darkness, seven members of the original Organization XIII (Larxene, Luxord, Marluxia, Saix, Xigbar, Xemnas, and Xion), Riku Replica, Vanitas, Master Xehanort, Terra-Xehanort, and Young Xehanort. The Recurring Boss fights of the Demon Tower and Demon Tide, who were previously fought in Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-. The Schwarzgeist from Einhänder appears as a Superboss for the Gummi Ship, as that game's dev team was recruited to make the Gummi portions of the game. |

Most Ace Attorney games start out with a case facing off against Winston Payne, nicknamed "Rookie Killer" due to his apparent record of defeating rookie attorneys. Despite this nickname, Payne's cases are by far the easiest in their respective games. Even when not facing off against Winston himself, his brother Gaspen Payne or their ancestor Taketsuchi Auchi take his place. | |

In the main game, all the optional bosses that can be fought in Archylte Steppe are either exactly the same as or functionally identical to Cie'th Stone mission bosses from Final Fantasy XIII - Ochu, Gigantuar, Immortal and Long Gui are taken from the previous game (though Long Gui is severely downgraded in terms of difficulty), while Yomi fights exactly the same way as Superboss Vercingetorix from the previous game. | |

Mega Man: After defeating all the Robot Masters in Mega Man 3, four new stages open up, each having two Doc Robots (one as a mid boss, one as an end boss). Each Doc Robot takes on the exact same attack pattern of one of the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, and their sprite is even seen descending into the Doc Robot before the fight starts. The boss of Wily Castle 1 in Mega Man 10 is the Weapons Archive, which deploys robots that use the weapons and tactics of one Robot Master from each of the past nine games. Also, there are three Downloadable Content stages that each feature one of the Mega Man Killers as bosses. There are several in Mega Man X5: The Warm-Up Boss in the optional training area is a weakened version of Magma Dragoon from X4, having access only to his most basic attacks. When you reach the end of the first Zero Space stage, Doctor Wily's logo is visible in the background for the first time in the X series. Then after the Boss Warning Siren, a remix of the Mega Man fortress boss theme plays, and the Shadow Devil, a recolor of the Yellow Devil from the same game, makes its entrance. The second Zero Space stage boss is Rangda Bangda from Mega Man X, complete with a remix of the fortress boss theme from that game. Mega Man X6: Dynamo appears again as a Recurring Boss, even if he has no real bearing in the plot or major differences in his moveset. He's exclusive to the secret routes you can take, but only after dealing with High-Max or Nightmare Zero, so he's mostly there to give you a way to obtain better ranks (and equips as result). Mega Man X8: You can fight classic Cut Man, 8-bit sprites and all, as a bonus miniboss at the Troia Base level, assuming you have a Command Mission save file in your memory card. In Mega Man ZX, Omega from Mega Man Zero 3 appears as a Superboss in the N area. Defeating him nets you the Model O Biometal, the strongest in the game. If you have completed both Zero 3 and 4 in their cartridges, linking them to the DS slot can let you fight 4 of each game's bosses in the same area and defeating them all gives you the same reward. In Mega Man Zero 3, taking a secret detour in the second fortress stage will take you to a teleporter. Go inside, and you'll meet Phantom from the first game, or rather his "ghost" since he died. Defeat him and you'll get the Infinity Plus One Foot Chip. |

Metroid: Ridley, a Space Pirate pterodactyl/dragon-thing, has made an appearance for a boss fight in every game in the franchise except for four.note Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Metroid Prime: Hunters, and Metroid Dread His moveset also tends to barely change, featuring the same fireballs and tail swings he is famous for. His appearance in Metroid: Samus Returns (a remake of Return of Samus) is perhaps the straightest example of this, as he was not in the original game at all, but reappears as the True Final Boss even if it doesn't make much sense in the long run. | |

Kingdom Hearts: If a Disney world is recycled in a subsequent installment, then it is expected that their villain will be too, since there is only so much room for its plot to expand and the games usually don't dabble in supplementary materials (say, TV series), if there is any. Out of the Disney villains who appear in the first game, the only one who does not make a return in a sequel is Clayton, and that is because Disney lost the license to Tarzan. Special mention goes to Hades, who is fought in nearly every game since his world also appears in nearly every game. Sephiroth appears as a Superboss in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. The first one as one of the coliseum matches with no context except for one Final Mix exclusive cutscene, the latter game has him cameo during the 1000 Heartless War where he asks where Cloud is, vanishes, and then taunts Cloud a little bit later. Axel, the only Organization XIII member who survives the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, returns as the prologue boss in Kingdom Hearts II. The Final Mix update adds the Absent Silhouette Superbosses, where you fight against the deceased members from CoM. Xemnas and Young Xehanort invert the trope; they first appeared as Superbosses in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, respectively, albeit with their identity hidden from the characters (and the audience). Kingdom Hearts III: The Keyblade War sequence consists of a string of Legacy Boss Battles, including Ansem Seeker of Darkness, seven members of the original Organization XIII (Larxene, Luxord, Marluxia, Saix, Xigbar, Xemnas, and Xion), Riku Replica, Vanitas, Master Xehanort, Terra-Xehanort, and Young Xehanort.

Plenty of bosses in the Wild ARMs series appear in multiple games. Sometimes, they're important to the storyline, sometimes they're not. For the biggest example, you have the Superboss Ragu O Ragla, whom appears in all 5 installments. | |
