In many games, the normal levels have you navigating a large area, evading obstacles and fighting Mooks, while Boss Battles take place in a much smaller arena where the focus is entirely on fighting a singular enemy. Some bosses don't follow this rule, and refuse to limit themselves to a tiny arena. They still have a health bar that you need to deplete to move on, but the fight takes place over the course of a full-size level. This means that during the fight and between boss phases, you'll have to contend with the usual enemies and environmental hazards of other levels. The boss therefore acts more like a timer for the level, Hold the Line-style. Related to Battleship Raid, Colossus Climb, and Flunky Boss, but is distinct from each — a Battleship Raid or Colossus Climb keeps the focus on the boss, and the things you have to destroy and the parts of the level you have to traverse are generally part of or ejected from the boss, while a Flunky Boss generally keeps to one room. There are also the Advancing Boss of Doom and "Get Back Here!" Boss tropes, where a boss may be chasing you or you may be chasing the boss, respectively, but in those cases, the boss is often a clear goal (most often in the case of the latter) that must either be avoided or found. Compare Boss in Mook Clothing. Do not confuse with Boss-Only Level. |

Batman: Arkham Asylum: All three encounters with The Scarecrow are this. After a few minutes of horror, you have to navigate a giant, fragmented landscape as a giant Scarecrow tries to spot you. At the end, shining a spotlight on him will dispel the illusion. Killer Croc in the same game. His "fight" consists of sneaking around his lair trying to collect plant samples without alerting him to your presence, and knocking him back into the water if he finds you. |

The boss levels for the video game version of A Bug's Life are like this, as you have to collect 50 grain, find all the FLIK letters, and kill all the enemies with a gold berry in order to fully complete them, just like any other level. The fights against the Bird and Hopper are particularly good examples, as they take place in level-sized maze/canyon areas that involve a lot of climbing. | |

Star Fox 64 has "the Forever Train", which causes trouble for you all throughout the Macbeth stage. Near the end it will deploy its secret weapon, the Mechbeth, for a traditional boss battle, but you can avoid having to deal with Mechbeth by simply switching the track to send the train crashing into the weapons factory. | |

Ghostrunner has Tom as the first proper boss, a stationary robot shooting laser beams all over the place. It only takes four hits to beat it, the real challenge being to climb all the way to its weak point, making it more of a platforming challenge than a fight. The Final Boss could also qualify though the game doesn't really treat him as a boss. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The "battle" against Divine Beast Vah Rudania is actually more of a Stealth-Based Escort Mission. Link must guide Yunobo to the various cannons dotted around Death Mountain, using them to launch Yunobo at Rudania. All while avoiding (or destroying) the search drones that it deployed. | |

The level "The Flood" from Halo Wars. There's a giant alien brain on the other side of the level that you're supposed to kill, but it has no direct combat ability (although it is surrounded by Flood turret equivalents) and most of the threat to your units is typical Flood units. There are five Flood bases you can kill to weaken it, which eventually respawn, and if all five go down so does the boss without you even touching it. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has Hag's End, the third and last part of the Deepwood Redoubt dungeon. While the game tends to blur the line between regular enemies and bosses, the Hagraven is the strongest enemy in Hag's End. She teleports deeper into the ruins each time you take out a quarter of her health, leaving you to fight your way through the witches that inhabit the place and otherwise make your way through the dungeon. You even get a new word of power before the last part of the battle, which takes you back outside where she summons a pair of ice wraiths to back her up and spams destruction magic until you can get to her and shave off the last of her health. | |

In Sonic Generations, Perfect Chaos plays out this way.

The fight with Ironhead in Cave Story takes up the entire level "Main Artery". However, Ironhead itself merely swims back and forth through the screen, occasionally shooting three puny shots at you. The level is mostly about fighting the swarms of Pufferfish that flood the screen, and dodging the blocks flying across the screen that deal Collision Damage. | |

Spyro the Dragon (1998): The boss levels are more-or-less normal levels that happen to have a weak "Get Back Here!" Boss in them that only takes a few hits to defeat. None of them are required to beat the game, they only exist for extra collectables. The only reason to defeat the bosses themselves is because they drop gems. This changed in later games, which made bosses a lot stronger and gave them each a Boss-Only Level. | |

Batman: Arkham City: Some side character battles can play like this. Folks like The Riddler, Deadshot, or Zsasz can't stand to go toe-to-toe with the Bat, but have advantages like hostages or powerful guns, so their battles consist of getting close enough to them to perform an instant takedown without alerting them to your approach. | |

Most of Radiant Silvergun Stage 5 is a boss fight against SBS-133. However, unlike other boss fights, you also have to deal with an onslaught of Mooks, and color-coded ones no less so you have to chain enemies for score during the already difficult boss fight (that is, if you care about having reasonably-powered weapons). | |

After dodging the flung rocks and making her way inland, Xena will have to climb up a small hill, surviving a landslide started by the Cyclops and make her way to the top of the hill where she confronts the Cyclops one-on-one. The level ends when Xena made the cyclops fall to its death. | |

Dr. Zomboss from Plants vs. Zombies plays almost exactly like a normal conveyor-belt level, with a few differences marked by Zomboss' presence; he'll occasionally lean down to fire a projectile at your plants, and the level will not end until he's defeated by lowering his health during these periods. | |

Unlike in the main Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the only boss in The Missing Link, Burke, has no Contractual Boss Immunity or any abilities that make him fundamentally different than a normal enemy. Your confrontation with him is really about getting through the gauntlet of soldiers to the room he's holed up in. | |

The Xel'naga Temple in the Starcraft II mission "The Dig" is presented in this way, with its own nifty health bar frame. Your objective is solely to dig your way through the temple's door with a giant mining laser. Because it's a temple, it can't move or fight you in any way, and the difficulty of the stage lies in its fanatical guardians. Note that in this case, you are encouraged to use the mining laser to help defend your base as well as unlock secondary objectives, which does make tunneling through the door take longer; therefore the mission is slightly shorter if you're confident enough in your base defenses not to need it. | |

Syphon Filter: In the third level, you chase Mara Aramov through a a DC Metro subway tunnel while dodging trains. You can either snipe her while she's running, or you can chase her to the end and take her down there. The second game has the C-130 Crash Site, in which Logan fights through a gauntlet of Elite Mooks to stop Steven Archer from escaping with the data discs, and the Ancient China Exhibit, where the boss, Dillon Morgan, is equipped with a Dead Man Switch, so you first have to escort Teresa while she disarms his bombs, only after which you can kill him. | |

The third Bowser battle in Super Mario 3D World as he transforms into Meowser, and then Double Meowser, running around you and attacking at multiple points. However, getting to the end is really all that's needed. | |

The level Aerial Combat from Bugdom is completed by destroying the beehive at its centre, identical to how Queen Bee and King Ant are completed. The beehive cannot actually attack you, however, and the threats in the level consist of flying bees and various terrain hazards on the ground. | |

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon: The Destroyer's "boss fight" is more of a level than an actual fight, as you climb around its mountain-sized body and search for dark crystals to destroy in order to damage it. | |

Speed Buster in No More Heroes plays like this. What makes her different from the other bosses is that she is at the end of the level, and that Travis has to make his way while avoiding her dreaded laser cannon. To win, Travis has to knock down a telephone pole to destroy her BFG, then make his way to Speed Buster herself to win. This break from the normal boss structure apparently causes her to not be included in the game's score attack mode, a Boss Rush mode that allows players to fight a ranking fight of their choosing. | |

Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Galactus is less of an enemy and more of an incentive to move really fast as you fight your way through the rest of the stage he's encountered in. | |

Cloud Cutter have at least three of them; the Hovercraft Amphibious base, the TG-660 Prototype Jet and the Final Boss, a Spider Tank larger than skyscrapers. The whole stage have you fighting them and some occasional mooks until they go down. | |

Boss stages in Jumper games are generally normal levels with additional danger in the form of an enemy who is usually defeated as a result of progressing through the stage. The Boss in Jumper Two, however, gives a genuine boss fight in which he is defeated by reflecting energy orbs back at him. | |

The fourth boss of Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz is an absolutely massive robot dinosaur. The fight is unique from the other boss battles in the game, since instead of facing the boss in an arena and hitting its weak spot to bring down the health bar, this boss has you move across the boss's back, fighting through enemies and obstacles to reach its head and shut it off. | |

Mario Party 10: After the first boss fight in Airship Central, Team Mario flies into a giant storm cloud, where they are attacked by Bowser's airship. The airship follows them throughout the storm, taking aim at specific spaces on the board. After each player rolls their Dice Block, the ship will fire Bullet Bills at the spaces they aimed at, and if Team Mario gets hit, the current Captain loses half of their Mini-Stars. Once Team Mario gets out of the storm, they get a chance to turn the tables by landing on Cannon spaces to fire cannonballs at the ship. The player that fires the winning shot gets ten Mini-Stars, but there are still Unlucky spaces that cause players that land on them to get shot at. | |

Marsupilami: Hoobadventure: The game's boss levels involve you chasing the boss through various autoscrolling platforming gauntlets while he does nothing but point and laugh at you when you take damage. The closest thing to fighting the boss happens at the end of those levels, in which he stops to catch a breath, and you give him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown by Button Mashing the attack button. | |
