A location change during a Boss Battle, ranging from two to three areas in total, adding for nice variation in a brawl. This can occur for several different reasons: The fighters themselves end up dragging their brawl further into the area they're already in, with the main location being the same, but in a different scenario. The fighters might cause enough damage to the area that they end up literally breaking down onto another place, floor or level. Something happens that suddenly separates the opponents and prompt the two to find each other in a different area. One fighter runs away and is encountered in another area later on. One fighter chases down the other and resumes the brawl in a separate location from where the chase started. Finally, the fight itself is interrupted by something (usually an explosion or Collapsing Lair effect of sorts), and the combatants are forced to hold off their brawl and escape to another area, only to continue clawing out each others' throats almost immediately thereafter. Not to be confused with a Sequential Boss, whose fight will often have several different phases before they go down for good. |

The first phase of Super Mario Galaxy 2's final battle plays out just like the other Bowser battles, even relinquishing the Grand Star at the end. .. but it's a trap, and Bowser eats the Grand Star, grows gigantic once again, and initiates the final phase inside a black hole. | |

The final battle against Voldemort in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has types 1, 4 and 5: it starts out in the Hogwarts' entrance when Harry reveals himself and tries to attack him. Then Harry escapes and is found near the Grand Staircase and then all the way to the astronomy tower. Finally, both fall off the tower and apparate around Hogwarts, ending in Viaduct Courtyard. | |

Kingdom Hearts II: Mixed with Sequential Boss, the boss fight with Pete in Timeless River starts out with Sora having to stop his steamboat with the Cornerstone from escaping down the river. After that Sora fights Pete on foot, and after taking some damage, he yells, "How about a change", a curtain with Pete's face comes down, and the scene shifts to one of the four windows on Cornerstone Hill (where Sora had earlier had to clear each of them in order to gain information on how Pete had traveled to this time period). Sora, Donald and Goofy fight through each of the four windows until Pete is defeated. | |

Kirby Goriath does this in Kirby's Return to Dream Land by smashing the snowy floor after taking enough damage. It turns from snow to icy to both. Flowered Sectonia and Soul of Sectonia in Kirby: Triple Deluxe both do this, moving Kirby onto a new set of platforms and changing attack patterns every time they lose a fourth of their health. Both King Dedede and Parallel Dedede do this in their boss battles in Kirby Star Allies after they Turn Red. The former breaks the floor after losing certain chunks of health, while the latter does so once to start off the second phase. |

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves went with style one when Sly first fights General Tsao on top of a forest of vines, then on the ground level of said forest. Same game, but with the Mask of Dark Earth in style four, first in a bar as a coyote, then as Carmelita in a mountain-like dune. | |

Kid Icarus: Uprising, with the battles versus Dark Pit, Medusa, and Hades. Dark Pit requires being chased across all of his level, from repeated air clashes, to tracking his hiding places on the ground, and a boss fight where he can fly and Pit can't. Medusa starts out teleporting across the Underworld until Palutena chains her down, making her a stationary boss fight. Then she detaches her head and resumes an air battle. Hades is an entire level on his own, going from the Underworld, the Underworld's sky, and finally the ocean in the overworld, before finally going down. |

Besides the Godmodder, two boss battles are also famous for being multistaged: The return of the Vord in Trial 3, which had the players travel first to the Far Lands and then to the End to destroy the infested Red Dragon shard, and the Psi-Scratch boss battle, which had players enter a new stage for each Ancestral Artifact that needed to be disabled. | |

The first nine books of The Wheel of Time all end with a battle, and most of them are this trope: "The Eye of the World": Rand more-or-less accidentally Travels from one fight to another. "The Great Hunt": The manysided battle of Falme rages back and forth all over the town. "The Dragon Reborn": Rand chases Ishamael through the Stone of Tear. "The Shadow Rising": Rand chases Asmodean through Rhuidean. "The Fires of Heaven": Rand chases Rahvin through the Royal Palace in Caemlyn. "Lord of Chaos": Aversion. The Battle of Dumai's Wells start out at the wells and stays there. "A Crown of Swords": Rand chases Sammael through Illian and Shadar Logoth. "The Path of Daggers": Rand and the renegade Asha'man chase each other through the Sun Palace in Cairhien. "Winter's Heart": Rand's allies and enemies sneak around trying to ambush each other in the forests around Shadar Logoth. |
