In most video games the player will often fight first against weak, easy to beat enemies, which will be followed up by slightly stronger enemies until they make their way to the first boss encounter, who is usually a Warm-Up Boss. Then there are other games that drop you into a Boss Battle right from the very beginning. While not always, this boss will more than likely be the game's Big Bad, and usually also the Final Boss. If it can be beaten, either then the boss will be in its weakest form, or the player is in the A Taste of Power segment and soon will be depowered. Otherwise, it will be a Hopeless Boss Fight. If it's not the Big Bad, then it will likely be a Starter Villain. Now, for the trope to count, the boss must the very first fight of the game. If there's maybe one or two mooks, then it's a Downplayed version of the trope. If the entirety of the game is nothing but bosses, you're staring at a Boss Game. |

The first mission of Devil May Cry 4, titled "Birds of a Feather", has its new main character Nero fighting Dante (the main protagonist of the previous games) in a boss battle. The first few phases of the fight serve as tutorial segments which teach the player how to use Nero's basic controls and abilities. But should the player disable the Tutorials in the options menu, this mission would immediately start with the last phase of the fight; the actual boss battle. | |

The first encounter in Chicken Invaders 3 has you fight a giant chicken boss. Thankfully, you're given A Taste of Power to help defeat it in a reasonable amount of time, and it only fires a small number of projectiles. | |

In Super Metroid, after descending into the Ceres Space Station, the very first enemy the player faces is Samus' Arch-Enemy, Ridley. He's however there to steal the Baby Metroid rather than pick a fight, so after a certain amount of damage is dealt to either the player or himself (more likely the player), he'll fly off with the Baby. This also triggers a Self-Destruct Sequence, forcing the player to escape and pursue Ridley to Planet Zebes. | |

Star Fox Adventures: The game begins as Krystal, who is traveling across the skies with her CloudRunner companion, is ambushed by the hovering galleom of General Scales, who then proceeds to attack her by having the galleom shoot fire projectiles as well as maneuver it so its propeller hit her. Krystal has to disable the projectile cannons and the propeller with the help of the CloudRunner's spit fireballs to win the battle and infiltrate the galleom. | |

Demon's Crest starts Firebrand off in a coliseum fighting a large zombie dragon named Somulo (all but said to be the undead form of the Demon Dragon who Firebrand killed in the intro). It's the easiest of the game's bosses, but comes early enough to be a surprise for newcomers without knowledge of the controls. | |

It's common for Pokémon games to have your very first battle be against your rival, who is always a Recurring Boss: In Pokémon Red and Blue once you and Blue got your first Pokemon from Prof. Oak, Blue will challenge you to a Pokemon battle. In Pokémon Black and White, you have to fight both Bianca and Cheren, your two rivals, right after choosing your starter Pokemon.

Fire Emblem: Awakening opens with a short level where Chrom and Robin fight and defeat one of the last bosses of the game, Validar, two on one, before Robin backstabs and kills Chrom. While this appears to be a premonition of things to come, it is later revealed that this scene had occurred in a Bad Future where Robin was possessed by the Big Bad Grima, prompting Chrom's daughter to go back in time and creating the current timeline of the game. | |

Bravely Second has the first scene in the game be a Hopeless Boss Fight with the game's Big Bad, Kaiser Oblivion. Downplayed as the player doesn't get any input during this fight, the party fights using scripted moves that he No Sells, ending in a total Curb-Stomp Battle in Kaiser Oblivion's favor (complete with a "your party has fallen" Game Over message). He absconds with Agnès in tow after the fight has concluded. The player then gains control of Yew once he regains consciousness. Much later, after the game's fourth Chapter, time has been frozen, and Yew asks the player to go back to the beginning. He means this quite literally, as the player gains access to a New Game Plus option on the main menu. Using this will bring them back to the very first fight with Kaiser Oblivion, except this time, the player can control Yew and access the Bravely Second skill (indicated by the hourglass icon). Once this is activated, the player's party from the future is brought to the battle with Kaiser Oblivion, unlocks the game's fifth Chapter, allowing the Kaiser to be defeated right then and there before he can enact his plan. | |

The first fight in the Dark Tournament mode of Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament is against Younger Toguro. He starts the fight at full strength, and you can't use any spirit energy moves against him. He is incredibly tough, and a Hopeless Boss Fight. It is possible to beat him though, but whether you somehow beat him or lose to him as you're supposed to, the outcome doesn't change, except a message saying you're good but you still need training if you win. | |
