A hidden Boss Battle in a Video Game that shows up after (or instead of) the game's usual Final Boss battle, but only if certain conditions have been met. In terms of the narrative, they could be the regular Final Boss gone One-Winged Angel, The Man Behind the Man, a Greater-Scope Villain, The Dragon (having arrived late to the party), some side character nobody thought was important until right this moment, or (if the game is a fan of Mind Screw) a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere. Or maybe the regular Final Boss is The Dragon or a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere, and the Big Bad proper is the True Final Boss. Regardless of their identity, this is undoubtedly the strongest, baddest opponent you can battle in the game (aside from maybe the Superboss).
Exactly how to unlock the True Final Boss varies: It may be as simple as playing the game on a higher (or the highest) Difficulty Level, or it may involve achievements like a Speed Run, No-Damage Run, 100% Completion, or some obscure Gotta Catch Them All Side Quest, or the boss may appear at the very end of an unlockable Boss Rush mode after the main story. In some cases, you may not even be able to fight them on your first attempt at the game, being reserved for New Game Plus runs (typically, when this happens, it's because you're able to use knowledge or abilities that weren't an option during the original run, but now are possible because of the differences in your character from the last time you were in this position; alternatively, it could just be that something new is permitted that wasn't possible in the original playthrough). Not every game will Foreshadow that this foe even exists in the first place or how to find them — Guide Dang It! — and sometimes even an official strategy guide will intentionally avoid spoiling them in advance. (But for that, there's always the Internet…)
If a game has Multiple Endings, expect the game's Golden Ending to be hidden behind them, especially if anything less yields only a Bittersweet Ending (at best) and/or provides little or no real thematic closure to the game's narrative (though if you're particularly unlucky, such a boss can also exist on your way to the darkest outcome). Outside of that, don't expect any tangible rewards for beating them, though.
Expect an Oh, Crap! moment when a player unlocks them for their first time — bonus points if it happens while showing off their mad gameplay skills (or a Self-Imposed Challenge) to their nearby friends.
Contrast Post-Final Boss, which is an easier, post-climax fight that lets you cool down after the real climactic struggle.
A Sub-Trope of Route Boss, wherein the "route" is unlocked after completing all other story content.
Compare and contrast Superboss, which is an extra-hard secret unlockable boss that has no relevance to the game plot (or at least not to the immediate struggle) and only gives a Bragging Rights Reward for beating it. A True Final Boss is sometimes this, since they're not always required outside of 100% completion. Compare Boss-Altering Consequence, which may lead to a True Final Boss depending on how it was accomplished.
Not to be confused with a normal Final Boss after a Disc-One Final Boss. If a True Final Boss exists and does not replace the Final Boss when its conditions are met (and there is not a substantial chunk of the game, such as one or more levels/dungeons, between them), the regular Final Boss is effectively downgraded to being the Pre-Final Boss.
Naturally, the below examples are all spoilers, and will be unmarked. Read at your own risk!

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten puts you up against against a different, much higher-leveled final boss if you clear the second-to-last stage using only the main character at level 500 or higher. You fight the messengers of God. Unfortunately, your reward is a Downer Ending.

In Fever's HaraHara course, after defeating the second-to-last opponent, if you have entered Fever less than 4 or more than 12 times, or used an amount of Continues that is a multiple of 7 (0 included), instead of fighting Popoi, you will fight Carbuncle. Defeating him will unlock the character for Free Battle mode.

In Star Ocean: The Second Story, doing a seemingly totally random Private Action will release the "limiter" on the final boss, jacking up his stats and making him nigh-impossible to beat without ridiculous level grinding in the bonus dungeon.

Kirby Super Star:
The game requires you to complete each of its main modes before revealing another mode in which you must Run the Gauntlet, defeating every enemy in the game in a random sequence, keeping accumulated damage in between.
In Ultra, after defeating three bonus bossesnote Masked Dedede, Wham Bam Jewel, and Galacta Knight, the True Arena is unlocked. It's a powered up version of the Arena where you will face all the bosses exclusive to Ultra in a random order, with the three mentioned bosses at the end in a fixed order. Once Galacta Knight is beaten, you'll see an epic cutscene showing Marx still alive floating in space and merging with the debris of Galactic Nova. He transforms into Marx Soul, a souped-up resurrected Marx, and you will fight him.

Andross's Brain in Star Fox 64 (you have to access Venom through the Area 6 course rather than the Bolse course, which leads to an All-Range Mode dogfight against a suped-up Star Wolf team prior to Andross's palace) and the Anglar Emperor in Star Fox Command.

The Crash Bandicoot games usually avert this, at the worst making you fight the Final Boss two times, once without 100% Completion and once with it. The second GBA game plays it straight, though, where you need 100% completion to fight N. Tropy. This also applies to the first GBA game. Get all the collectibles and fight Cortex again, and you’ll get an Advancing Boss of Doom sequence with Megamix.

ZeroRanger has one for each mode:
In the default Green Orange mode (later called Normal Mode), after defeating Despair, Erasure shows up to inform you that the forces of GREEN ORANGE destroyed all life on the planet Daikon anyway and you're going to die in a few minutes due to your ship's systems, including life support, being critically damaged. Erasure then gives you an out in the form of what is essentially time travel back to when GREEN ORANGE was first created, but warns you that you have only one chance to do so, and gives you the choice whether or not to try it. Refuse and the game ends. Accept and you're put in one last stage against the Lotus Jewel, the original form of GREEN ORANGE, where you must approach and make contact with it for several seconds, then repeat the process several more times as it gains more powerful forms. Fail, and your saved progress is wiped out. Succeed, and the Lotus Jewel is destroyed, creating a new timeline where it, and by extension, GREEN ORANGE, does not exist.
In White Vanilla mode (later called Light Mode), clearing the game without continues gives the player the option to challenge the EX stage (or automatically begins it, if the "no GREEN ORANGE" timeline is enabled), which consists of a fight against Erasure as it summons Erasure/Endless Fighters to supplement its attacks. You have 2 minutes to defeat it. If your health runs out, you are forbidden from continuing, but the game is still counted as a clear.

Dice and the Tower of the Reanimator: Glorious Princess: If the player is on the good ending path rather than the bad ending, the Reanimator will be much stronger, not only because the player is limited to using fists, but also because she has new skills and can override mechanics that the player took for granted during the bad ending final battle. Upon defeat, she'll use her ultimate attack to catch the player off-guard.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel's Song: If you manage to acquire all ten Fatestones (something that requires quite a bit of planning and cannot be accomplished until you have cleared the game at least twice), you can offer them all up to the final boss, vastly increasing his powers. The jump in strength for each stone beyond the fifth gets larger and larger, and the jump to the tenth is what makes 10FS Saruin a True Final Boss.

After you get more and more information about what's going on in Duel Savior Destiny, the last route finally has you go up against God on his own turf, since he's responsible for everything (even if he didn't do anything directly). Otherwise, he'd just set events in motion again and try to destroy all of creation.

In Ancient Domains of Mystery, the goal of the game is to close the Chaos Gate and keep it from reopening. If you have completed a number of obscure and difficult tasks, you may instead enter the Chaos Gate and kill Andor Drakon, the Supreme Chaos God.

In Batman: Arkham Knight, after getting unmasked by the Scarecrow, Bruce Wayne decides to go into retirement. But before he can do this, he must first capture all his rogues and imprison them at the GCPD. As a result, the Scarecrow, the game's Big Bad, isn't the last rogue Batman defeats. Instead, it's the Riddler, who's challenged Batman to yet another riddle and trophy hunt. This was optional in the previous games, but not in Knight. You have to do it to get the real ending, and you can't do the whole thing and fight Riddler until Scarecrow's captured. Everyone else including DLC bosses and all other side missions can be handled before the confrontation with Scarecrow.

In the Fire Emblem series:
In Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, if the player collects all of the Starshards as well as the other 4 spheres, Marth finds out that his quest to defeat Hardin was just a distraction so Gharnef could revive Medeus.
In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, defeating Big Bad King Zephiel with all the gaiden chapters completed and all legendary weapons intact unlocks a few extra chapters, pitting you against The Remnant and culminating in the real final boss fight with Zephiel's literal Dragon, still under orders to carry out his ultimate plan.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has something of an anticlimactic final boss on Easy and Normal mode, but he springs a cruel surprise on Hard mode: not only does he start moving (with a massive movement range of 10 spaces), after you "beat" him, he immediately invokes a dark god and resurrects with wildly increased stats and fully-replenished (and jacked-up) HP. And it's still your turn, meaning any units that attacked him are unable to act until your next turn! Adding to that, only six characters can actually inflict damage on him before he resurrects, of whom you can only have three at once. (Eagle-eyed players might suspect something is amiss going into the final chapter, as there are less enemies on the map than in Normal mode.)

In Antibirth, which started as a fanmade mod, but was offically added to the Repentance DLC added TWO more final bosses. Following a new alternate route allowed you to accss the Corpse, with a boss orginally known as "The Witness" in the mod but renamed "Mother" for the offical release. Defeating that boss opened up access to ANOTHER secret path where, when done correctly, you play through all the levels you went through to get there backwards and face Dogma then The Beast, generally considered the actual FINAL boss of Isaac as a whole.

Breakout clone Dark Ball 2 pulls this out in the most unexpected way. After beating Khross's second form, if you have the five secret kharma chips, you get the Truth power up, which by this point seems to be there just to let you finish him off and avoid a bad ending. Then the ball reveals it was using you all along and was just interested in reaching this level of power, challenging you to a fight to decide who will become a god.

In the World of Light mode of Super Smash Bros.

Bloodborne has two in a row. The normal Final Boss is Mergo's Wet Nurse, and if you'd like to end it there, you can (achieving the Yharnam Sunrise ending). But if you refuse the opportunity, you get to fight Gherman, the First Hunter. And if you don't have three specific items (some of which can be missed completely, so you may not have the opportunity to collect them in your playthrough), it'll end there with the Honoring Wishes ending. If you do have and use the plot-important items, then you will instead get the third and final boss in the sequence, the Moon Presence. Defeating that will unlock the final ending, Childhood's Beginning.

Bloody Roar 3: Xion is usually the end boss of Arcade Mode, unless the player happens upon Uranus. The player must meet all of the following criteria to face her: clear Arcade Mode with no continues, no rounds lost (including against Xion), and a total score of 750,000 or higher. Oh, and if Uranus beats you, you have to start all over from the beginning.

The Android-based Chaos Rings II by Square Enix does this. After defeating Necron, the credits roll and you unlock the ability to replay past chapters taking different routes, but it also turns out there's more story if you keep going on the route you've already taken. Play through that and you'll learn who the real villain has been the whole time and get another credit roll. Players can sense it coming, both from the story and from the fact the main character doesn't unlock his 3rd and final ultimate attack prior to defeating Necron.

Shin Megami Tensei:
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne has you confronting the Big Good of this game, Lucifer. You have to complete the optional (and extremely hard) Labyrinth of Amala dungeon to fight him. Even crazier, his entire justification for the fight is to prepare you for a war against the Greater-Scope Villain of the series: YHVH.
Megami Tensei II for the Famicom had, if you did everything right, YHVH Himself, in one of his only three appearances in the main series (the other two being Shin Megami Tensei II and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse).
Overclocked, Devil Survivor's Updated Re-release, adds three new final bosses for the new 8th Days: Okuninushi, Japan's creator god in Amane's, Metatron, the Voice of God in Naoya's, and a souped-up Belberith in Yuzu's.
Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker adds a new story arc with a new final boss, Canopus.
Strange Journey Redux adds Shekinah, the fused and true form of the Three Wise Men, who can only be fought in the New Law, New Neutral, and New Chaos endings, which assumes you've completed the very long Womb Of Grief dungeon.
Persona 4:
The base game does this twice. At first, it looks like the final boss is Kunino-Sagiri, a.k.a. Taro Namatame. If you don't toss him into the TV, eventually you discover that the true villain is resident bumbling detective Tohru Adachi and a random godly entity called Ameno-Sagiri. But if you go to the Junes food court after saying your goodbyes, it turns out the true mastermind behind everything is Izanami, who disguised herself as a gas station attendant you met at the beginning of the game. And yeah, you fight her at the end of the true final dungeon.
In Golden, there's another case where it's played with should the criteria for the True Ending be complete. You have to fight Marie/Kusumi-no-Okami (Which is one of the Co-Dragons of Izanami alongside the aforementioned Sagiri) before having to fight Izanami herself, which is largely unchanged.
In Persona 5 Royal, if you max out the Councillor Arcana Confidant with Takuto Maruki, Maruki himself will become the final boss as a Villain of Another Story. The Phantom Thieves have to stop him from altering reality in humanity's favor, knowing the distortions that he will bring forth with his newly-earned position as the Will of the People in place of Yaldabaoth.

Digimon Battle Spirit has a partial example: Fulfilling certain conditions would cause Impmon to replace the Digimon you were supposed to fight beforehand, which acts as an SNK Boss (complete with power-nerfing as an unlockable). However, he doesn't entirely fit the trope because he's a midboss, not a final boss. The trope was more properly done in the Japan-only expanded version. If you get to Milleniumon and beat him without losing once, it'll transform into ZeedMilleniumon.

Beating the entire story mode of Dr. Mario 64 in one sitting without continuing would pit you against Vampire Wario if you were Mario or Metal Mario if you were Wario (once you actually reached this point, you could continue and retry the match as many times as you liked). Beating them unlocked the code for S-Hard difficulty.

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! required you to collect the optional Light and Dark bombs to fight the Angel of Light and Shadow. You must also complete all the stages before proceeding to Warship Noah and fight a possessed Lilith halfway through the level rather than watch the goddess take control over her. Do this right, and Mihaele forces Big Bad Sthertoth into a remerger with her after you beat the latter's first two forms at the end of Warship Noah (the possessed Rukifellth in a standard B64-2 boss fight, and then Sthertoth himself in a different type of battle), and the True Final Boss battle against the Angel will commence, leading to the Golden Ending when you beat it. If you don't do this right, no merger takes place, and you get another, stronger Sthertoth form that leads to a Downer Ending where almost everyone dies when you beat him.

ESP Ra.De. has only a standard Final Boss, Ms. Garra, who you always fight at the end. In the 2019 Updated Re Release ESP Ra.De. Psi, the Arcade Plus and Super Easy modes feature an additional boss after her, Alice Master. Reaching her with certain conditions met results in a much harder variant of Alice Master with new attacks and a shield that blocks your Guard Barrier.

Played with in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, wherein beating the boss of Scrambled Egg Zone (Mecha Sonic) with all the Emeralds collected allowed the player to move on to the true final level, Crystal Egg Zone (which has the same amount of Acts as the others), fight the real final boss, Dr. Eggman himself, and properly save Tails (if you don't have all the Emeralds before beating Scrambled Egg Zone Act 3, the game concludes prematurely and in a grim Downer Ending upon completing this stage).

And the trend continued with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where you must complete the three different storylines, each of which had their own different final bosses, to unlock the last episode where the three hedgehog heroes (after the worst level in the game) take on the ultimate final boss.

If you beat I-no in Guilty Gear XX Slash or Accent Core without continuing, and getting at least 10 Overdrive finishes, she creates a portal and transports you to the past, where you fight Order Sol, an alternate version of Sol Badguy that wears Ky's jacket and doesn't use his trademark Fireseal sword. The character is available from the start, but the CPU Order-Sol is faster, stronger, and regenerates his exclusive charge meter. Not only that, he has an exclusive super move called Flame Distortion which is basically his normal Dragon Install on steroids. It regenerates his health faster than I-no, increases his power and speed even further, and gives him an unlimited super meter and charge meter. And it lasts for double the time of a normal Dragon Install (15 seconds). Oh, and you can't continue against him — don't lose or it'll be an instant and real Game Over!

Kirby:
Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards keep their True Final Bosses hidden until you achieve 100% Completion.
In Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, if you beat the game without collecting every collectible, after defeating King Dedede, a credit will play as Kirby and his friends walk home with moderately cheerful music. However, at the end of the credits, the "THE END" message will quickly become "THE END?", hinting that you haven't actually beat the game and solve the problems. In Kirby's Dream Land 3's case, the camera will also show Zero's silhouette in the sky with a name of ?.
In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, not finishing the game with 100% Completion gets you the game's bad ending: With the fairy queen secretly smiling a pretty creepy Slasher Smile into the camera from behind Ribbon's back, revealing that she's still being possessed by Dark Matter. Once you do have all the Crystal Shards, the Crystal shoots a big beam of light at the fairy queen, driving Dark Matter out of her body. Dark Matter retreats to the center of the galaxy, and you chase after it and infiltrate it. After you get through the absurdly easy platforming bit, Dedede launches you into the air, and you fall through a void until Ribbon catches you. The Crystal turns into a gun, and a grotesque-looking cherub thing drops its disguise to reveal itself to be a resurrected Zero, hell-bent upon kicking your ass. You also cannot retreat from this battle. If you pause, your only options become the usual continue, and "TOUGH IT OUT!"
Kirby Super Star:
The game requires you to complete each of its main modes before revealing another mode in which you must Run the Gauntlet, defeating every enemy in the game in a random sequence, keeping accumulated damage in between.
In Ultra, after defeating three bonus bossesnote Masked Dedede, Wham Bam Jewel, and Galacta Knight, the True Arena is unlocked. It's a powered up version of the Arena where you will face all the bosses exclusive to Ultra in a random order, with the three mentioned bosses at the end in a fixed order. Once Galacta Knight is beaten, you'll see an epic cutscene showing Marx still alive floating in space and merging with the debris of Galactic Nova. He transforms into Marx Soul, a souped-up resurrected Marx, and you will fight him.
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, completing Extra Mode allows for a fight with Magolor Soul, a souped-up version of Magolor's second form from the main game. Galacta Knight, despite being exclusive to the True Arena, is not an example, as Magolor EX and Magolor Soul are fought after him.
In Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Magolor Soul keeps his role in Extra Mode, but in the True Arena, his moveset has been even more souped-up to give the player one last spiteful surprisenote and this is right after fighting the very thing that possessed him.
Similarly, in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, completing the main game unlocks a postgame mode where you play as King Dedede and fight powered up versions of previous bosses, ending with a fight with Dark Meta Knight from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Beating both this boss and the Arena unlocks the True Arena and, upon beating Dark Meta Knight, the actual True Final Boss: Soul of Sectonia. However, if you're only expecting a powered up version of the original boss fight, you're in for a surprise after the first phase.
In Kirby: Planet Robobot, the format is similar to Triple Deluxe. The extra mode, this time with Meta Knight, has a gauntlet of new bosses consisting of Dark Matter Blade from Dream Land 2, Sectonia from Triple Deluxe, and Galacta Knight. At the end of the True Arena, the True Final Boss is revealed to be Star Dream Soul OS. It also gets an extra form, which is reminiscent of the previous Soul bosses as well as Heart of NOVA/Galactic Nova Nucleus.
In Kirby Star Allies, completing the main story grants you access to the Ultimate Choice, which is its equivalent to The Arena and the True Arena. Clearing it on either difficulty levels 6 or 7 will grant you access to the highest difficulty, Soul Melter, featuring Void Soul replacing Void Termina's fourth phase, which was originally the game's True Final Boss. However, an update added a new mode called Heroes in Another Dimension. Clearing that mode and beating Soul Melter in The Ultimate Choice will unlock the secret difficulty, Soul Melter EX. Reaching the end of Soul Melter EX will bring you face to face with Void Termina, the True Destroyer of Worlds, with its fourth phase being Void, replacing Void Soul, becoming the game's True True Final Boss.
After completing the main story of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, you gain access to the Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams, a post-game world that goes through remixed versions of each previous world. Upon completing the Isolated Isles and defeating Morpho Knight, you can challenge the Ultimate Cup Z, at the end of which you fight Chaos Elfilis. Like Sectonia and Star Dream before them, they gain an additional form that has many callbacks to the previous Soul bosses.

In Dead Cells, there's one door right behind the final boss's arena that's locked behind 5 Boss Stem Cells, the only door in the game that needs that many. If you manage to complete that feat, it takes you to Astrolab, and then a boss fight with the Collector, who's been mysteriously absent in this difficulty setting.

Metroid: Other M: The post-game features a fight against Phantoon from Super Metroid, who is far more powerful and scarier than before. Unlike many examples of this trope, you can only fight it in the game's Normal difficulty: the boss is only unlocked through 100% completion, and Hard Mode is an enforced Minimalist Run.

Blaster Master:
Blaster Master Zero: If you kill every boss mutant and get every power-up (including life upgrades) and area map in the game, a cutscene after the regular Final Boss introduces you to the game's Infinity +1 Sword and whisks you away to the true final level, ending with the ultimate fight against Sophia III possessed by the Mutant Core.
Blaster Master Zero II: If you have received all three Interplanetary All-Purpose Markers from the MA pilots, once again you go to the true final level after the regular Final Boss, this time playing as a different character who eventually gets their own sword. The ultimate fight this time is against Drolrevo, the ultimate influencer of the mutants.
Blaster Master Zero III: The true final level is accessible after the final boss if you explored super-dimensional space long enough. This time, you're controlling a familiar sword as you explore super-dimensional space on earth, fighting remixed Boss versions of the MA pilot battles from the second game as well as Leibniz's rebuilt GARUDA. The ultimate battle of the title trilogy takes place between SOPHIA-J1 and the original Metal Attacker, with the twist being that you get to choose which side you're fighting as.

Baten Kaitos Origins typically ends with a slightly anticlimactic (but still stupidly hard) battle against Verus. If you defeated a certain optional boss, though, Wiseman shows up possessing Verus's corpse and reveals himself to be The Man Behind the Man. The true final battle that ensues is much more climactic and satisfying.

Tokyo Xanadu: The game has two of them, with one being introduced in its definitive edition, eX+.
The Nine-Failed Fox, in the Epilogue's True Ending, achieved if Kou's skill stars add up to at least 8. It is an almighty, god-like being that wants to keep Shiori as its servant, but Rem convinces it to restore her life and let her return to her friends and family if the protagonists can prove their strength in a fight.
The Greater-Scope Villain, Twilight Apostle, ends up as the real True Final Boss. Added in the After Story chapter of the eX+ release, it returns as a separate entity from the Princess of Doom made up of him fusing with Shiori, created when the Nine-Tailed Fox brought Shiori back to life. He kidnaps the main characters into an alternate version of their city, and they have to fight him to finish him once and for all.

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception has a similar situation with Operation X, which is basically a fictional aircraft battle royale. At the end, if one aircraft remains, another ADF-01 FALKEN named "Z.O.E" will arrive, followed by an XFA-27 labeled "Scarface 1" (A.K.A. Phoenix). Both of them will only appear on higher difficulties, with the latter being the hardest enemy in the game.

In Final Fantasy VII, Safer Sephiroth's HP depends on a variety of things, increasing 30,000 HP for each character at level 99, and increasing 80,000 HP if you cast Knights of the Round on JENOVA.Synthesis. Fortunately, his health is also decreased slightly for every time you killed the head while fighting Bizarro Sephiroth. Ultimately, his health, normally 80,000 HP, can range from 55,100 to 400,000.

Final Fantasy XIV, starting with Stormblood, tends to give the final boss of each raid tier a special final form that can only be fought in Savage and Ultimate encounters. Unlike most examples of this trope, these boss fights are non-canon and instead based on embellished retellings of the Normal mode encounters.
In Deltascape, Exdeath is overtaken by the Void, turning him into Neo Exdeath.
In Sigmascape, Kefka transforms into his God of Magic form.
In Alphascape, Omega concludes that a humanoid form is insufficient, assimilating Omega-M and F into a multi-armed form resembling the Omega Weapon.
The Unending Coil of Bahamut features Phoenix saving you in the final encounter instead of being tempered by Bahamut. He then flies into an uncontrollable rage and must be defeated within a three-minute enrage timer.
The Weapon's Refrain omits Gaius, making it seem like Lahabrea was controlling the Ultima Weapon. It proceeds to absorb the three Awoken primals (Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan) and glowing blue as a result.
The Epic of Alexander omits the entire Goblin Illuminati save Shanoa. Alexander Prime fuses with Brute Justice and Cruise Chaser to form Perfect Alexander.
In Eden's Gate, Titan discards his armor and fuses with the mountain ranges in the background, becoming Titan Maximum.
In Eden's Verse, Shiva summons a recreation of Hraesvelgr, which grants her abilities normally used by dragons throughout the game.
The final boss of Eden's Promise goes one step further and becomes a What If? story. This time, Mitron successfully reawakens Gaia's memories of her past life after their fused form (Eden's Promise) is defeated, causing her to take up the mantle of Oracle of Darkness and fight the raid as herself.
In Asphodelos, Hesperos transforms into a four-winged shirtless demon.
Unlike the first three Ultimate raids, Dragonsong's Reprise takes it much further and is a What If? of the Heavensward storyline. While the first three phases against Sers Zephirin, Grinnaux, and Charibert, King Thordan, and Nidhogg play out normally, the intermission after Nidhogg returns you to the point where Haurchefant dies in the main storyline, requiring the party to save him from the attack that killed him. Without the motivation to seek vengeance against Thordan and the Heavens' Ward, Thordan reaches Azys Lla without any resistance, loots it, and subjugates the Dravanian Horde with Allagan technology, culminating in a battle against both Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg, whose eyes are then absorbed by Thordan to become Dragon-king Thordan.
In Abyssos, Hephaistos breaks the chains on his body and mutates beyond recognition into an Eldritch Abomination with an unfathomably large right arm with multiple eyes, a long, skinny, and bent left arm, demonic and angelic wings, and a double-helix torso. The only things that are recognizable are his Lahabrea mask and his long black cloak.
In The Omega Protocol, Omega manages to continue its testing after its final form is bested, refusing to stand down despite its body breaking down from damage because of its determination to find out what makes mortals so strong. In doing so, it gains the ability to use dynamis, eventually fusing with Alpha to become Alpha Omega, a being with a near-complete understanding of beginnings and endings.
In Anabaseios, Athena starts to wonder if her theories were incorrect. She then declares that the problem doesn't lie with her or her theories, it lies with the whole world. She then unleashes the full power of the Heart of Sabik in her chest, becoming an even more monstrous form called Pallas Athena.

World of Warcraft
The Ulduar raid has an extra boss called Algalon the Observer that can only be fought after beating several other bosses in hard mode. Reportedly, he is far more difficult than Yogg-Saron (the normal final boss) and to make matters worse, will despawn if not beaten within an hour of the first try and won't come back until the instance resets.
As a boss, Yogg-Saron without any keepers was far harder before the recent onslaught of nerfs. Lore-wise, Algalon could wipe out Yogg-Saron and call it a day, but doesn't want to as it could destroy the world.
Another example happens in the Trial of the Crusader raid, where an NPC starts congratulating the players on completing the Trial....and is rudely interrupted.
In Cataclysm, Vanessa VanCleef from the Deadmines (Heroic mode only). One reason she's notable is that normally, Heroic mode fights are exclusive to raids.
If you do Bastion of Twilight on normal mode, the final boss is Cho'gall, who was a fairly tough but doable boss. Beat his much more difficult encounter in heroic mode? The raid's not over, now you have to face the heroic-exclusive fight of Sinestra, a much more demanding fight.
In the Firelands, Ragnaros gains a fourth phase on Heroic, healing to half health and using entirely new mechanics.
Mists of Pandaria gives you the opportunity to fight a creation of the Titans named Ra-Den, but only after you defeat the Thunder King Lei Shen in heroic mode
In Warlords of Draenor, after defeating Imperator Mar'gok in Highmaul on Mythic, the raid faces an alternate version of Cho'gall.

Uncommon Time does this, though it's just a souped-up form of the regular Final Boss. After clearing the two Bonus Dungeons, the Distortion will have been allowed to grow for enough time to manifest directly, giving it a different appearance and more powerful attacks — including Arietta's, Altair's, and Chantal's Limit Breaks from Grand Pause.

The Binding of Isaac. There are a lot of contenders for this title, thanks to multiple updates to the game.
For your first playthrough, Mom is the final boss. However, after that, you unlock the Womb, which is two more floors with Mom's Heart. After killing Mom's Heart eleven times, it gets replaced with It Lives!, a harder variation of Mom's Heart, the True Final Boss.
The Halloween Update added a new final level, Sheol that is normally unlocked after defeating It Lives, although there are a few ways to reach it earlier. At the end of the level, you fight Satan (Completely True Final Boss).
The Expansion Pack, Wrath of the Lamb, adds an alternate path after It Lives, called the Cathedral, with an Alternate Completely True Final Boss. It's Isaac. And then after killing that boss five times, you can go to yet another level, The Chest after that one, where the Most Definitely True Final Boss lies: ???, which is Isaac's corpse.
Then there's the remake, Rebirth, which has three True Final Bosses. The first is the aforementioned ???. The second is fought as ???'s counterpart, after fighting Satan instead, in the Dark Room, where you fight The Lamb. However, beating either of them unlocks the option to fight one last boss: Mega Satan.
Afterbirth+, on the other hand, adds yet another final boss accessed by killing Hush: Delirium, which manages to top all of the above by transforming into almost every other boss in the game, final bosses included. It also added a True Final Boss to Greed Mode in the form of Ultra Greedier, a surprise second phase of the Ultra Greed fight.
In Antibirth, which started as a fanmade mod, but was offically added to the Repentance DLC added TWO more final bosses. Following a new alternate route allowed you to accss the Corpse, with a boss orginally known as "The Witness" in the mod but renamed "Mother" for the offical release. Defeating that boss opened up access to ANOTHER secret path where, when done correctly, you play through all the levels you went through to get there backwards and face Dogma then The Beast, generally considered the actual FINAL boss of Isaac as a whole.

In Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge, finding Serena's Robot Buddy Balzac in the first five levels grants access to a sixth level where she escapes from the Space Prince's planet, culminating in a spaceship-vs.-Humongous Mecha battle at the end. If you missed Balzac in even one of the levels, the game ends after you defeat the fifth boss, with Serena barely escaping capture from the Prince's remaining forces.

Blaster Master Zero III: The true final level is accessible after the final boss if you explored super-dimensional space long enough. This time, you're controlling a familiar sword as you explore super-dimensional space on earth, fighting remixed Boss versions of the MA pilot battles from the second game as well as Leibniz's rebuilt GARUDA. The ultimate battle of the title trilogy takes place between SOPHIA-J1 and the original Metal Attacker, with the twist being that you get to choose which side you're fighting as.

Despite the Wii version lacking a True Final Boss, the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors has you collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds in Special Stages that are similar to those of Sonic Rush when you collect 50 rings in a normal stage in each zone. After all 7 of the emeralds are collected, you get to fight the Nega-Mother Wisp as Super Sonic.

Bullet Hell Monday has a couple of these exclusive to all-stage runs:
In Bullet Hell Monday: Black, a larger version of your fighter appears after defeating the Stage 5 boss. It fires absurdly dense and fast patterns, but your SP attacks also have immensely boosted recharge rates during this time.
In the Steam version of the original game, the game throws a "BHM403" error after the Stage 5 boss is defeated, and your multiplier is reset back to 0%. You must then survive an onslaught against a new boss until it times out, while it throws out a mishmash of the previous five stages' gimmicks at you. Oh, and point-based extra lives are disabled during this fight, as indicated by the text "BHM 503 EXTEND UNAVAILABLE".

Resident Evil:
The original Resident Evil required you to make sure your player character's partner survived the game through several procedure choices you make through the game in order to get a rematch against the Tyrant on the helipad where you're supposed to be picked up.
Resident Evil 2 features two in the B Scenario. The A scenario's final boss is Birkin's lion-like six-legged form. In the B Scenario, you have to fight a heavily mutated T-103 Tyrant, who's much faster than before, hits harder, and can only be defeated by the timely intervention of rocket-based explosives. Then, you reach the end of the story, only to find out that the A Scenario ended prematurely, and you have to fight Birkin one more time, plus he's mutated even further into a horrific Eldritch Abomination-esque blob, which is fortunately much easier than his previous forms. Only then will you see the real ending to the game.
Resident Evil: Outbreak has a final boss fight. Your characters run, to escape only to be confronted by the boss you just defeated, again. You have the option of blowing him up with whatever weapons you have on hand or injecting him with the cure for the T-virus, which makes him explode.
Outbreak File #2 had this one boss follow you throughout the last leg of the finale scenario. Then, if you have to take the long way around to complete the scenario, the game fakes you out by making it seem like you have to fight him again, even if you killed him earlier. But another BOW assimilates him into its body and the True Final Boss fight begins!

Deathsmiles: The first game added one (Bloody Jitterbug) in Mega Black Label, which requires you to access the final stage on rank 999 and not take damage up to Tyrranosatan. If that sounds a bit too easy, that's because the requirement for accessing Hades Castle at rank 999 includes beating both bonus stages...at rank 999. And the bonus stages have to be taken in a specific order, too, otherwise the rank will be back down to standard rank. 1.1 arranged on the 360 version made it easier to reach him by making it only a 1cc requirement (no more ragequitting over getting hit, no more Rank 999, and no more forcing your way through The Gorge). Unfortunately, beating him this way does not unlock an achievement, as the relevant achievement specifically requires standard MBL.

Persona 4:
The base game does this twice. At first, it looks like the final boss is Kunino-Sagiri, a.k.a. Taro Namatame. If you don't toss him into the TV, eventually you discover that the true villain is resident bumbling detective Tohru Adachi and a random godly entity called Ameno-Sagiri. But if you go to the Junes food court after saying your goodbyes, it turns out the true mastermind behind everything is Izanami, who disguised herself as a gas station attendant you met at the beginning of the game. And yeah, you fight her at the end of the true final dungeon.
In Golden, there's another case where it's played with should the criteria for the True Ending be complete. You have to fight Marie/Kusumi-no-Okami (Which is one of the Co-Dragons of Izanami alongside the aforementioned Sagiri) before having to fight Izanami herself, which is largely unchanged.

Undertale: the game's alternate routes have different and much harder encounters replace the last two bosses of the most commonly first run "neutral route".
Pacifist Route, requiring you to have completed Neutral first, reset the game and then make extra sure to never kill anybody and befriend everybody available. Asriel/Flowey assumes his true form to fight you, and you actually save the Neutral route's penultimate boss from him during the fight.
Genocide Route, requiring you to meticulously hunt down and kill every single living thing in every area of the game. Sans interjects before the usual final bosses to try and stop you from destroying the world. The Neutral Route's last bosses still actually face you if you get past him, but you kill them in one hit in a cutscene.
Inverted in the Neutral Route itself on your second playthrough and beyond. The Final Boss Flowey's time warping powers allow him to know exactly how your fight is going to go down (you kick his ass), so he hightails it after you beat the penultimate boss Asgore.

Cave Story: If you do all the contrived stuff in the alternate route, you'll get Ballos after you defeat the Undead Core. It's only made worse by the fact that you can only save immediately after Undead Core and then have to make your way through a Brutal Bonus Level and yet another nontrivial new boss, the Heavy Press (who can come out of nowhere and still kill you even during his death animation!) before even reaching the True Final Boss. Then, when you reach him, you find out you get very limited HP/missile/weapon recovery, no new save point, and four difficult fights in a row against his various forms.

Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories has a rare example of this (rare for the series anyway, which tends much more towards Bonus Bosses) if you go for the Worst Ending. Upon defeating Zenon, you end up fighting Rozalin/the real Overlord Zenon, who is at level 2000. (Compare with the traditional Final Boss who's at level 90.) And unlike the other storyline fights with enemies at this level, you're supposed to win this one. Granted, it'll take a lot of grinding of a sort just to unlock this fight, but it can still catch you off guard. Luckily, there's a way to back out of qualifying for this ending. Which is a good thing, as your reward for victory is some Nightmare Fuel.

At the end of this hellish gauntlet is a lone Typhoon named Phoenix, who serves as the hardest enemy in the game, adapting Milosz Sulejmani's bullshit flight patterns coupled with extreme aggression. Considering Phoenix is fought long after the aforementioned Mobius 1, yeah. Good luck, Antares.

In the console versions of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, beating Hazama with the right amount of Astral Finishes and without losing a round rewards you with a fight against Mu-12. Unlimited Mu-12, that is. If you're using Mu in CS2 though, you fight Unlimited Ragna instead. If you're playing as Relius Clover in the Extend edition, you get to fight Unlimited Ragna as well. Hazama doesn't get a TFB.

In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, defeating Big Bad King Zephiel with all the gaiden chapters completed and all legendary weapons intact unlocks a few extra chapters, pitting you against The Remnant and culminating in the real final boss fight with Zephiel's literal Dragon, still under orders to carry out his ultimate plan.

Stella Glow: The choice that allows the player to face the true mastermind behind all the suffering and chaos in the world, Cartesia (the manifestation of all negative emotions residing inside Eve, who is Marie's sister) only appears under certain circumstances. Namely, the player must have maxed Alto's affinity with Klaus before his betrayal, then recruit Giselle after her defeat in Chapter 10, and finally refusing to continue the standard Final Boss battle against Eve during the middle point in favor of tuning her like Alto would do with any Witch, with this last action being what triggers the true final encounter and eventually the Golden Ending.

Super Robot Wars
The games that feature "skill points" — optional challenges in each level — often have a harder final boss as a "reward" for completing most or all of them. Examples include Septuagint in Original Generation, Stern Regisseur in Original Generation 2, and the unholy powerful Neo Granzon in Alpha Gaiden.
In Impact, you fight Char Aznable in his Sazabi if you get 50 skill points out of 99.
Alpha 3 gives you Nashim Gan Eden, the Final Boss of Alpha 2, as a friendly reinforcement. Note that the Alpha 3 reinforcement is full-powered. No Redemption Demotion degradation. Under the player's full control. She has more HP than anyone so far has bothered to try to find out, and is essentially unkillable.
Super Robot Wars W gives you the "true" ending on a second playthrough, including Critic piloting the true final boss, guarded by four copies of the previous final boss, and Applicant in the Val Arm showing up to help you.
Super Robot Wars Z 2 has a variation — if you reach the final boss with enough Points to be on Hard Mode, you are given the option to fight him at level 99 instead of his standard level 70.
Shin Super Robot Wars has the Devil Gundam piloted by Ghostelo in the La Vie En Rose as the true final boss if you beat the Earth and Space Routes and combine the data from both routes.

Capcom vs. SNK 2. Upon the final match, certain requirements need to be met in order to fight the true final match, including score, getting the mid-boss before the final match (Bison or Geese), and accomplishing various ways to finish a match with a super combo. See StrategyWiki for full details. If you don't get the requirements, the game stops after the last team match. If you got enough, you fight either Akuma or Rugal chosen at random. Meeting the best requirements gives you Shin Akuma or God/Ultimate Rugal chosen at random.

In Silent Scope 3, if you beat the last level without continuing, Falcon finds that Robert, his commander is the terrorist leader. This leads to one last One Bullet Left scenario, in which Falcon must kill him with one bullet in a sniper showdown; if Falcon misses this bullet, he wins the sniper showdown, but if Falcon succeeds in making a headshot, he is killed instantly. Falcon then watches over the distance, as the word "Fin" appears.

Pokémon Gold and Silver: Red is someone who's a rare example of both this and a Superboss. He has the highest-leveled team in the game and his Pokémon are all at least 20 levels higher than any opponent previously fought in the story (although this gap can be shortened with optional Gym Leader and Elite Four rematches in the remakes). However, the credits roll after the player defeats him and a "The End" screen is presented as well. It's more apparent in the remakes, where Professor Oak calls the player after they defeat Blue, letting them know to go to his lab in order to receive a reward (a.k.a. access to Mt. Silver, along with the Rock Climb HM in the remakes, which is now necessary for traversing through the area).

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has something of an anticlimactic final boss on Easy and Normal mode, but he springs a cruel surprise on Hard mode: not only does he start moving (with a massive movement range of 10 spaces), after you "beat" him, he immediately invokes a dark god and resurrects with wildly increased stats and fully-replenished (and jacked-up) HP. And it's still your turn, meaning any units that attacked him are unable to act until your next turn! Adding to that, only six characters can actually inflict damage on him before he resurrects, of whom you can only have three at once. (Eagle-eyed players might suspect something is amiss going into the final chapter, as there are less enemies on the map than in Normal mode.)

Giga Wing normally ends after Stage 6 with a Bittersweet Ending in which your character self-destructs to destroy the Big Bad. Completing the first six stages without continuing before then, however, takes you to the true final boss and secures you the Golden Ending (your character returns home alive after destroying the Big Bad)!

In Sonic Blast, collecting all five of the game's Chaos Emeralds in Act 2 of each level by finding a giant ring and completing a bonus stage will grant Sonic or Knuckles access to the real final boss, an Eggman mech shaped like a cracked egg with two spikes on the top and spikes covering both parts of the shell, after defeating Silver Castle Zone's boss. In this stage, you get 99 rings, and you're going to need every single one of them, because you're guaranteed to get hit many times fighting it.

Five Nights at Freddy's World has one that can only be fought in Hard Mode and it's a fictional version of Scott Cawthon himself. Update 2 features another one in Chica's Magic Rainbow, with her literally squishing the intended final boss about a minute into the final battle. Unusually, beating either of them don't result in happy endings: beating the former results in him complaining that the game ended because the player killed the puppetmaster, and beating the latter results in a cutscene that turns out to be a teaser for Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.

The sequel series Mega Man Star Force switched things up:
The True Final Boss of Star Force 2 comes after the SP version of the final boss. It's a fiendishly difficult super-version of The Rival.
Star Force 3 gets weird with this. As normal, getting every star lets you fight the super form of the final boss. However, inputting secret passwords lets you fight your Rival's new super form, and the super forms of the Super Boss, the Super Boss of the last game, and one of the new bosses. After all of that, you can fight the final boss's super SUPER form... as a random encounter. Not only that, but if you go through a long gauntlet of Wi-Fi matches (which is hard with all of the DCers), you can fight yet another secret boss and earn a secret star.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos has two true final bosses: A goddess version of Athena from the old Athena arcade game, and Red Arremer from Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Failing to meet them would give you a generic, text-only ending stating your character was never seen again. And you only get one shot at these final bosses. If you lose, then your character gets transformed into something which varies depending on whether you fight Athena or Red Arremer before giving you the generic, text-only ending.

When you play the SNES version of Sparkster on Hard, instead of the Final Boss dying before he launches the missile, he dies right after he hits the button. Guess what the True Final Boss is this time? And it really is deserving of That One Boss, as even the mecha battle against Axel Gear seems easy compared to this boss. When playing a higher difficulty in the Genesis version, you fight a 2nd form of Gedol. If you get all 7 hidden swords throughout the game, it becomes much easier, as his attacks in both forms will not do as much damage, and it also slightly influences the ending.

In the NES version of Double Dragon II, the final stage (which is simply the final boss battle) is only accessible on Supreme Master mode, the hardest difficulty setting. The Warrior mode ends the game on the penultimate stage (after the battle against the doppelgangers), while Practice only lasts the first three stages. This doesn't apply to the Famicom version, in which the entire game could be played on any of the three settings.

NeoQuest, one of two online Neopets RPGs, features this, with an extra boss added for each difficulty. There are three levels to choose from: Normal, Hard, and InSaNe. On Normal, you'll only fight the standard Final Boss, Jahbal. On Hard, it's Jahbal, immediately followed by Mastermind. The ultimate battle consists of Jahbal, then Mastermind, then Xantan Reborn, a strengthened version of the first boss you fought, Xantan. You get no break between the three, and losing to Mastermind (or anyone, if you're playing on InSaNe) completely erases your save data. Have fun with that.

Pokémon Colosseum: After Snagging 47 of the 48 Shadow Pokémon, a series of events will lead to the final battle in the game. An odd example, though: while Fein is no pushover, he’s no Evice, either, just an Elite Mook who happens to have the last Shadow Pokémon. (Also, said last Shadow Pokémon is hilariously underleveled, so good luck catching it without knocking it out.)

Daifukkatsu Black Label introduces a second True Final Boss (provided certain requirements are met). It's a Turns Red version named "Zatzusa", the formerly claimed crowning terror of Shump bosses. Here it is in the original game. On the 360 retail Black Label Arrange mode of Daifukkatsu, the Ketsui crossover, now you have to fight Evaccaneer DOOM on steroids (now called HIVAC), making the original look like a mid-boss in comparison.
Even Zatsuza pales in comparison to the end of the boss rush mode (Death Label) from the PS2 port of Daioujou: Shin Hibachi Kai, where you face off against two copies of Hibachi at full strength; it was so hard that it took 7 years to beat.note And only 3 other people have beaten them since.
Dodonpachi Saidaioujou manages to exceed even that boss with its own second true final boss: Inbachinote Whose name can be translated as "hidden bee" or "evil bee". . Important to note that while the boss doesn't seem as dense in bullets, the sheer speed, boss' bomb/hyper invincibility length and the fact the player doesn't have an abusable hyper system to protect them more than makes up for it.

In the first Bushido Blade, to get the true final boss, you had to not get hit at all. There was a way to skip most of the opponents by running to a certain area of the map, take your opponent's legs out so they can't follow you, and jump down a well, which makes you fight only one more opponent before going onto the bosses. You still have to avoid getting hit to get the "real" ending for each character.

In Sonic Adventure, clearing the six campaigns for each character opens a "Super Sonic" campaign, which consists mainly of traveling to key areas in the Mystic Ruins hubs and watching cutscenes before the final confrontation with Perfect Chaos.

If you manage to collect seven hidden jewels hidden in each main level and equip the resulting accessory in Azure Striker Gunvolt, the True Final Boss is Gunvolt's mentor, father figure, and Rebel Leader Asimov, revealed to be an Azure Striker, and Evil All Along.

The King of Fighters loves this one, too.
Beating Krizalid with a high enough score in '99 let you fight Iori or Kyo, and in 2002 Unlimited Match, beating Krizalid, Clone Zero, Original Zero, or Igniz lets you fight Omega Rugal if you meet certain conditions. You only get one chance to beat him, and that is literally almost impossible unless you absolutely know what you're doing. Omega Rugal's stats are artificially increased to the point where one normal attack on him does roughly 1/3 of its normal damage. Basically, teamwork is key. Lose one set and it's Game Over. Win and you unlock him for regular play.
A variant of this existed in 97; when playing as the Hero team, if Kyo was the one that finished Orochi off, you'd go to a bonus battle with Iori.
In 2003, depending on how you defeat Kusanagi, you fight either Adelheid or Mukai.
And finally, XIII. If you get to the final team battle without enough points, the bad ending plays where it's hinted Saiki rewinds time and tries his initial Orochi resurrection plan again. Getting there with the right amount takes you to the final fights with Saiki and Dark Ash.

In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, not finishing the game with 100% Completion gets you the game's bad ending: With the fairy queen secretly smiling a pretty creepy Slasher Smile into the camera from behind Ribbon's back, revealing that she's still being possessed by Dark Matter. Once you do have all the Crystal Shards, the Crystal shoots a big beam of light at the fairy queen, driving Dark Matter out of her body. Dark Matter retreats to the center of the galaxy, and you chase after it and infiltrate it. After you get through the absurdly easy platforming bit, Dedede launches you into the air, and you fall through a void until Ribbon catches you. The Crystal turns into a gun, and a grotesque-looking cherub thing drops its disguise to reveal itself to be a resurrected Zero, hell-bent upon kicking your ass. You also cannot retreat from this battle. If you pause, your only options become the usual continue, and "TOUGH IT OUT!"

Mega Man Xtreme 2 has separate scenarios for X and Zero; they team up in the latter stages, but they still split up to fight a different villain as a Final Boss. After beating one character's scenario, players get the option to play the second character's scenario, but now armed with the weapons of the bosses from the previous mode. Beat the second scenario, and Extreme Mode gets unlocked. This final mode not only combines the two scenarios into one narrative (and X and Zero are both available from the start), but now also has the traditional Boss Rush followed by Sigma at the end.

Infinity Blade has the God Kings. After you've played through the castle your first 15 or so times, you can buy the Infinity +1 Sword. This actually opens the doors to the four new immortal kings. The first three are really no problem, but the third is a Level 300 (the level cap in the game is 100 for players) robot mech with a man inside it. But you do get a sweet cinematic if you can best this insane challenge.

The spinoff series Gargoyle's Quest had two of these in the third game, Demon's Crest for SNES. If you collected every crest and item, the final boss, Phalanx, would reveal a new form far more challenging than the previous ones. If you beat this and sat through the credits, you got a password unlocking an even harder final boss, Dark Demon, who could be defeated for a different ending.

Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis. The Final Boss is your main character fighting against his friends trying to snap him out of making a Heroic Sacrifice. The only way to fight the True Final Boss is to increase one character's Relationship Values with the main character to maximum, releasing him from the hold of his powers. The latter (italicized to avoid confusion) given "physical form" is the True Final Boss.

In Pokémon Black and White, when you first challenge the League at the end of the game, you don't fight Champion Alder, instead facing off against Team Plasma's leaders N and then Ghetsis (though N is technically the unofficial Champion due to defeating Alder). You face Alder in the post-game, after fighting through a stronger Unova Elite Four.

In the Bomberman Jetters console game, if you don't have all the Lightning Cards from the Mid-Boss battles, the game ends with Mujoe escaping the Dark Star and swearing revenge once you defeat the Kirin/War Horse at Hige Heaven. If you do have all the Lightning Cards, you're allowed to pursue Mujoe to Planet Bomber and confront him in an oddly simple battle. But once you defeat Mujoe, it turns out that he was just a warm-up for Dr. Mechadoc, a grueling Puzzle Boss who requires you to use all of your elemental bombs and several of your Charaboms to break down his weaponry and defenses before you can take him down.

Melee and Brawl have Crazy Hand in Classic Mode, who will appear alongside Master Hand only if the difficulty level is set high enough and certain other conditions are met. Melee's Adventure mode has similar conditions for fighting Giga Bowser. Beating him earns you a trophy and the sight of Bowser's Adventure Mode trophy actually falling into the abyss, then exploding into a million tiny fragments.

Creepy Castle:
The game has the Final Boss be Possessor (who turns into Possessor Demon in the second part of Scenario 2). After beating the two storylines, you can continue into the Depths...or, if you are aiming for every "The Story" achievement, you can go straight to Ant Queen's story. Clearing that (which is required to do so, as well as clearing Creepy Castle, Ghostly Mystery and Lost) leads you to The Final Fist, where Ant Queen fights one true last enemy of the storyline: Possessor Apollyon. There is a save point before this so that you can retry the fight if you were to lose against him.
Free Depths also contains the true final boss of the entire game, Dopplebugger. To even get to him, one must get 20 out of 25 of the secret eggs, which is a Guide Dang It!, as a certain number of them are in each scenario. Then, one must get all of the required Stone Keys and all of the Sun Keys (and get all collectible items) and go through the Boss Rush in the Free Depths to get the lasso required to reach the ledge at the starting point of the Free Depths. Beating him (which is not an easy feat, considering that there are no healing items in the entirety of the Depths and Free Depths modes) nets the player the "Champion" achievement, as well as another egg and, when that is collected, a victory screen with Dopplebugger on it congratulating the player for beating Dopplebugger.

Dragon's Dogma has two forms of this; an optional final boss that's an undead form of the game's initial final boss, which is so overpowered that it requires the combined efforts of every other player with an internet connection to beat it. You also fight the Seneschal (which is basically God) at the end of what's referred to as the 'post-game' to get the true ending.

In Pokémon Puzzle League, beating the game on any difficulty higher than Hard reveals that Gary wasn't the Puzzle Master. Rather, Mewtwo decided to use his psychic powers to be very good at this game. And if it's not enough that he's extremely difficult to beat, you only get one shot to do so; if you lose to him, you won't be able to rematch him unless you beat Gary again.

Punch-Out!!: Nick Bruiser in the SNES version. He's the champion of the brutal Special Circuit, which can only be unlocked by winning the other three circuits without losing against any opponent. Nick borrows many attacks from his brother Rick (being his Palette Swap also helps), but he's much stronger and eager to use his most dangerous attacks (including his One-Hit KO special move) more often.

Tekken:
In rare circumstances, your final boss in Tekken 6 will be a golden-colored Azazel (often called Golden Azazel by the fanbase). He is much harder to beat than the normal one, but gives you more reward upon defeat.
If you score a Perfect match in Tekken 7, your final boss will not be Kazumi Mishima, but Akuma.
The normal final boss of Tekken 8 is Devil Kazuya, but he can be replaced by others depending on how many Perfect matches you do. Having one will replace him with Azazel, having two will replace him with True Devil Kazuya, and having three will replace him with Angel Jin.

Touhou Project has a few examples. In most cases, a level is not playable until certain conditions are met:
The second game, The Story of Eastern Wonderland, had a proper True Final Boss with Mima's second form (really third, but you don't fight the first one), which you can only see if you don't continue until then. Interestingly, you can continue at that form, but you get the bad ending.
In the fourth game, Lotus Land Story, the last stage and its Final Boss can only be reached if you play on a difficulty higher than easy, and you haven't continued until then. Otherwise, you receive the bad ending. The last stage also prevents you from continuing, period; there's no bad ending, it's just game over.
Similarly, the sixth game, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, prevents the last stage from being played on Easy difficulty and sends you to the bad ending. If you play on Normal or higher, you can still reach the last stage even if you continue (and can continue on the last stage), but you still get the bad ending.
Finally for the shooting games, the eighth game, Imperishable Night, has an alternate final stage, with an alternate final boss, that you can only get to after beating the game once with the specific choice of characters. Continuing on the playthrough that unlocks the alternative final stage is fine, but continuing too much gets a Nonstandard Game Over ending. The true final stage itself can't be reached if you continue, and gives you the bad ending if you die on it.
It should be mentioned that the unlockable Extra Stages with their Extra Bosses are technically not this trope gameplay-wise, as unlike other examples, the Extra Stage is really selected from the title screen. Storyline-wise, it is debatable and depends on which game is being played.
In Hidden Star in Four Seasons, though, the heroines fail to defeat Okina due to her final attack being too lopsided in her favor (she strips you of your options, release ability and Power, and uses it to create a difficult multi-stage attack) and end up running away. Thus, they regroup and learn to harness a new power before invading Ushirodo-no-Kuni again and challenging Okina to a rematch, which is the Extra Stage of this game. This makes it a first for the series, where the Extra Stage is actually truly "Stage 7" and a continuation of the story, and the only game where the Super Boss is also the True Final Boss.note  Yukari in Perfect Cherry Blossom does not count because, while she is the one who actually opened the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead, she only did so at Yuyuko's request, which makes the latter the real Final Boss of the story.

Final Fantasy has some final bosses get souped-up versions of themselves after meeting certain requirements.
In Final Fantasy VII, Safer Sephiroth's HP depends on a variety of things, increasing 30,000 HP for each character at level 99, and increasing 80,000 HP if you cast Knights of the Round on JENOVA.Synthesis. Fortunately, his health is also decreased slightly for every time you killed the head while fighting Bizarro Sephiroth. Ultimately, his health, normally 80,000 HP, can range from 55,100 to 400,000.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings makes the Final Boss and The Dragon level 99 if you have 100% Completion. Have fun Level Grinding.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII's Final Boss gets boosted during a New Game Plus if you defeat the Super Boss first.

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War plays with this. If you've beaten the game enough to unlock the SP Mission "The Gauntlet" on the highest difficulty, played that mission on said highest difficulty setting, and defeated Espada Squadron in less than 1 minute during the mission, then the game's penultimate boss Wizard Squadron appears. Do you have to fight them, too? Nope, instead a single F-22 Raptor appears from behind them and utterly slaughters Wizard Squadron in all of about 5 seconds. Then that F-22's pilot sets his sights on you. Good luck with Mobius 1, Cipher.

In Ys Origin, completing the main story as either Yunica or Hugo unlocks a third character. Play it again with that character, and you get an extra boss fight at the end. With this game being a prequel, this latter path appears to be the canon one.

Cardinal Sins: Judgement Silversword Recycle Edition has the Mirror of Cardinal Sins, which requires the player to complete all seven stages with no F ranks. The Mirror also sports multiple forms, gaining more the better you performed in the preceding stages (or all if you are playing on Normal mode); there are four forms in all.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV has Ishmelga, the overall Big Bad of the entire Erebonia arc and the source of the curse that has been plaguing the series. However, the players don't get to fight his "Great One" form until the game has been beaten once by fighting the normal Final Boss, Giliath Osborne and Ishmelga's Divine Knight form, and see the credits (the game railroads players to that ending first). Mercifully for the players, if they didn't do the sidequest to meet up with the spirit of the Nameless One before entering the final dungeon, the game lets players just go back to the entrance of the final dungeon and just take the quest at the portal. If the players have done the sidequest, however, they can skip fighting Osborne again and just go straight on, fighting the True Final Boss.

Fatal Fury
In Special, if the player defeats every opponent in only two rounds without ever losing, there will be an additional match against Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting after defeating Wolfgang Krauser.
Likewise, Art of Fighting 2 has a younger Geese Howard as a secret final boss under the same conditions.
In Fatal Fury 3, the player can only face the Jin Brothers if he has a high enough score after beating Yamazaki. If he makes it to Chonshu, then Chonrei appears if you had a grade of B or higher after beating Chonshu. Otherwise, the game gives the player a Bad Ending, in which Chonshu telepathically taunts the player, saying that he's not interested in someone who had to struggle so hard against Yamazaki and that he'll gladly meet up with them again in the future once they improve themselves.
In Real Bout Special, if the player has a score of over 750,000 after beating Wolfgang Krauser, Geese Howard appears to challenge his character in a special "Nightmare" battle. If the player loses to him, it's a Game Over with no continues.
In Real Bout 2, get a high enough rank and/or beat Geese and Krauser without losing a round, and the player will fight Alfred, the protagonist of Dominated Mind. Many consider him to be an Anti-Climax Boss, since his appearance is just a tie-in to a PS1 port of Real Bout Special that never left Japan.
In Mark of the Wolves, Kain R. Heinlein only appears if the player has a high enough grade after beating Grant.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has three scenarios for the three main characters, and each scenario has its own Final Boss. The true final boss, though, is fought in the Final Episode (accessed by collecting all of the Xehanort reports throughout the three scenarios) as Aqua, fighting desperately against the crazed Big Bad Xehanort possessing her friend Terra's body. Final Mix takes it a step further with the Secret Episode. This takes place during Aqua's time in the Realm of Darkness, where she fights off many Heartless (such as Shadows, Neoshadows, and Darkballs) until she faces a new boss Heartless called the Dark Hide.

When normally facing off against Merga as the Final Boss, a recording of her love interest Cordelia plays before Syntax reveals herself to have survived and goes through with the plan of absorbing the moon's power, becoming the game's True Final Boss.

In most versions of Tsu, racking up 180,000 points before reaching the final stage, without using any continues, replaces Satan with Masked Satan as the final boss. (The game challenges you to try this if you beat the game normally.) A special ending occurs if you can beat him, but frustratingly not in the Mega Drive version.
Tsu also has a secret reverse example of this if you really go out of your way to suck. If you can manage to beat every opponent on the first floor without scoring enough points to advance to floor 2, you're pit against Masked Satan...and then get thrown out of the tower for sucking so hard, if you somehow still haven't managed to get enough points to go to the next floor. Video here.
In Fever's HaraHara course, after defeating the second-to-last opponent, if you have entered Fever less than 4 or more than 12 times, or used an amount of Continues that is a multiple of 7 (0 included), instead of fighting Popoi, you will fight Carbuncle. Defeating him will unlock the character for Free Battle mode.
Also, in SUN, if you play the Hard mode, if you defeat every single stage without losing, Satan included, Carbuncle will battle you.
Tee is the final opponent in Puyo Puyo Tetris Tetris's DLC chapters, making him an example of this trope. Interestingly, he's also the regular Final Boss.

Every 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles has had an extra boss battle if you get all of the Emeralds. The main games usually open up a similar final boss battle by beating all of the branching storylines.
Played with in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, wherein beating the boss of Scrambled Egg Zone (Mecha Sonic) with all the Emeralds collected allowed the player to move on to the true final level, Crystal Egg Zone (which has the same amount of Acts as the others), fight the real final boss, Dr. Eggman himself, and properly save Tails (if you don't have all the Emeralds before beating Scrambled Egg Zone Act 3, the game concludes prematurely and in a grim Downer Ending upon completing this stage).
In Sonic Blast, collecting all five of the game's Chaos Emeralds in Act 2 of each level by finding a giant ring and completing a bonus stage will grant Sonic or Knuckles access to the real final boss, an Eggman mech shaped like a cracked egg with two spikes on the top and spikes covering both parts of the shell, after defeating Silver Castle Zone's boss. In this stage, you get 99 rings, and you're going to need every single one of them, because you're guaranteed to get hit many times fighting it.
Inverted in Sonic the Fighters. Reaching Round 2 of the penultimate boss fight without losing a single round will let you turn into Super Sonic, becoming invincible.
In Sonic Adventure, clearing the six campaigns for each character opens a "Super Sonic" campaign, which consists mainly of traveling to key areas in the Mystic Ruins hubs and watching cutscenes before the final confrontation with Perfect Chaos.
Sonic Adventure 2 only had two storylines to beat to open up the Last Story (compared to the six in Sonic Adventure, four in Sonic Heroes, and ten in Shadow the Hedgehog), but made up for it by having a Marathon Level (five parts, each using a different character) and a difficult boss fight without the use of Super Mode before the obligatory Super Mode final fight.
Sonic Heroes made you beat all four storylines and collect all seven Emeralds before you could face the final boss: Metal Sonic.
Sonic Advance 2 required you to both beat the game as all four characters and collect all Emeralds as Sonic (logical, but not intuitive, leading to many false understandings of what actually was required) before you could face the Giant Space Flea from Nowhere that kidnaps Vanilla for some reason. This is made worse by how you reach the Special Stages in this game (although the stages themselves are usually easy).
Shadow the Hedgehog has ten endings that must be seen before the final stage opens up, some of which are pretty tough to reach unless you come through a certain penultimate stage.
And the trend continued with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where you must complete the three different storylines, each of which had their own different final bosses, to unlock the last episode where the three hedgehog heroes (after the worst level in the game) take on the ultimate final boss.
Despite the Wii version lacking a True Final Boss, the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors has you collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds in Special Stages that are similar to those of Sonic Rush when you collect 50 rings in a normal stage in each zone. After all 7 of the emeralds are collected, you get to fight the Nega-Mother Wisp as Super Sonic.
Collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Mania will unlock the Egg Reverie battle, in which you fight both Eggman and the Heavy King as Super Sonic.
Beating Sonic Frontiers on Hard mode unlocks the fight against The End's true form, an Unexpected Shmup Level where you play as Sage.

Black Souls II: Prior to the release of Crown of the Lion and the Unicorn, if Grimm managed to talk to Red Hood at all locations, get Leaf's Ring and view all 6 memories, then when attempting to start a New Game Plus, pressing cancel when asked who is Alice to Grimm will send him into the true final dungeon without any Covenant to assist him, and at the end of it, if he chose Red Hood over Leaf, then he will have to fight the Crawling One to obtain Ending G, which ends in Grimm waking up in the real world and meets Red Hood. After the release of the final DLC, in addition to the above requirements, Grimm must talk to Mabel at least once and approaching the final DLC area with more than 31 SEN, then after siding with Unis or Leiden, this will unlock the true final area of the entire game and allow Grimm to fight the Grand Guignol, the absolute final boss of the entire game, which has a multi-phase boss fight that does indeed take the crown for the hardest boss fight in the game. Successfully defeating will unlock the H(eartbreak) ending, which has Grimm sitting aside Red Hood as she approaches her final seconds of life. Notably, to signify that it is in fact the very final ending of the game, instead of starting an New Game Plus, it boots you back to the title screen.

The flash game Amorphous+ sometimes surprises you with a Razor Queen instead of the annoying-as-fuck regular Queen. The game's normal "boss", the Queen, is nimble, has the ability to spawn other Queens (via a hostile takeover of another blob), carries two unbreakable claws to your one sword, is smart enough to avoid your swings, and can be beaten samurai style. The Razor Queen, on the other hand, is a colossal scorpion-looking thing with four huge claws that has an annoying penchant of turning you into Ludicrous Gibs. Beating her does unlock the Infinity +1 Sword (one of her claws), though there's not a lot you probably still need it for by this point.

In The Bouncer, you fight Dauragon three times. The first time, he ties a hand behind his back and still hits pretty hard. The second time is the final boss fight, and he's pretty tough. The third time, as the True Final Boss, he decides he doesn't need to hold back at all, and will easily pummel you with moves you haven't seen before. There is even a fourth version of him where he is even more powerful, but you won't see this version until you have beaten the game three times.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, landing enough hits on Master Hand or Crazy Hand on Intensity 5.1 or higher will cause Crazy Hand to disappear, while Master Hand spasms and twists, clearly in pain as he transforms into the Master Core, a mass of shadow with six forms: Master Giant (a humanoid being), Master Beast (a scorpion-like being), Master Edges (an array of swords), Master Shadow (a Mirror Boss), Master Fortress (a Womb Level), and ultimately a defenseless orb. The number of forms that it uses varies depending on the difficulty (or in the case of Master Fortress, whether or not you're playing the Wii U version).

HELLSINKER has three tiers of Final Bosses, determined by the "Satisfaction Level" of the penultimate boss when time runs out; shooting it will raise the Satisfaction Level, while dying, bombing, or not hitting it for long periods of time decreases the Satisfaction Level. If you make it to the third-level final boss, you then must fill up its inverted Life Meter, also by shooting the boss, within the time limit then wait for time to run out; doing so grants you access to the True Final Boss, who can only be defeated by time out, but gives out loads of Spirits as you shoot it.

Collecting all 65 of the weapons in Drakengard unlocks a 5th secret ending in which you fight the Queen of the Grotesqueries. Though it's a rather unconventional battle, more akin to a Rhythm Game than to a real boss, it is widely considered the hardest challenge in the game by far. To wit — after the first thirty seconds, there is no room for error. You'd have to be a robot to beat this in less than fifty tries.

The game offers a whole new set of levels to be explored if you complete a convoluted and tough sequence of actions, which include finding a hidden store in a jungle, dying and being resurrected, accessing a more bountiful secret area, and killing the final boss in a very specific area. Completing the secret levels allows you to face the real final boss, who upon defeat will grant you a slightly different ending cutscene and more reward money.
Likewise in the sequel, but this time you have two ways to complete the second and third steps. Whatever route you decide to take, it gives you a mount with infinite flight, allowing you to fly above the final boss's arena and access the final secret area and boss.

After completing the main story of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, you gain access to the Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams, a post-game world that goes through remixed versions of each previous world. Upon completing the Isolated Isles and defeating Morpho Knight, you can challenge the Ultimate Cup Z, at the end of which you fight Chaos Elfilis. Like Sectonia and Star Dream before them, they gain an additional form that has many callbacks to the previous Soul bosses.

True Crime: Streets of LA had, based on player performance, story forks that led to worst to successively better endings and another Big Bad. Fortunately, each of these forks were well-written self-contained stories, and had their own unique features that made it worth it to explore each one, and doing so made the True Final Boss appear for the 100% Completion ending. It turns out to be the same boss as in the worst ending, but on steroids and crack.

Kingdom of Loathing
The final boss is normally the Naughty Sorceress, who has three forms. However, on some of the special challenge paths, her third form is interrupted by another enemy, such as the Guy Made Of Bees in "Bees Hate You", the Avatar of Sneaky Pete in "Avatar of Boris", and Rene C. Corman in "Zombie Master".
She is replaced entirely by the Avatar of Boris in "Avatar of Jarlsberg".
One fights one of two Elder Gods in the Bonus Dungeon "The Sea" depending on if you get to the Temple of the Underwater City through the Colosseum or the Library. If you collect each class's drop (so 12 fights) and then combine them, wear those, and enter the Temple immediately, instead you fight Dad Sea Monkee; or at least whatever he's channeling.

Under ordinary circumstances, Battle Arena Toshinden ends with a generic "you win" message following the defeat of Gaia. But if the player makes it all the way past Gaia on Hard difficulty or above without losing a match, the battle with Gaia is followed by a battle with Sho, followed by a character-specific ending after Sho is defeated.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne has you confronting the Big Good of this game, Lucifer. You have to complete the optional (and extremely hard) Labyrinth of Amala dungeon to fight him. Even crazier, his entire justification for the fight is to prepare you for a war against the Greater-Scope Villain of the series: YHVH.

If you clear Arcade Mode in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger with 10 or more Distortion Finishes and no rounds lost, you get the displeasure of fighting Unlimited Ragna, who has triple health and permanent Blood Kain.

Contra:
Shattered Soldier has two true final boss fights. The first, if you complete the first five missions with an A ranking, is a Sequential Boss fight with the "Relic of Moirai", then if you manage to achieve and maintain an S ranking through there, you get to fight his Very Definitely Final Form.
Neo also has two true final boss fights. Like Shattered Soldier, should you complete the first five missions with an A or S rank, the first one is a Sequential Boss battle with Master Contra. Beat him with an A or S rank, you'll fight him in his Very Definitely Final Form while falling through the Earth's atmosphere.
The Giant Space Flea from Nowhere final boss of ReBirth won't be fought unless you set the game's difficulty to Normal or above. It will appear after you complete Stage 5 on the above difficulties.
In The Alien Wars, you won't fight Red Falcon's true final form unless you play on Hard mode.
You also won't be able to fight Black Viper in 4 unless you play on Normal or Hard.

This is a recurring trope in the Gundam Vs Series.
In Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam, if you reach a high enough ranking (RADM or higher), you'll go into an EX Stage. Depending on the route, you'll go up against high-tier mobile suits only who generally outnumber you, and in one particular has one of the openings from ZZ playing as the background music.
In the SEED-based games, getting a SEED ranking at the end of Arcade Mode nets you an extra solo battle against either Kira Yamato or Athrun Zala with all of their Gundams, their strongest ones equipped with METEOR.
In Gundam Vs. Gundam NEXT, clearing all of the EX Stages in an arcade playthrough (which requires enough points and generally not losing a battle) will unlock the NEXT FINAL stage where you go up against Kira yet again in a really suped up Strike Freedom with three separate phases (one as his normal self with a stupidly overpowered charged shot, the other being him in his METEOR, and the last being the same as before but with infinite SEED factor).
Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost has an "Extra Final Scene" after fighting Sthesia Acht where you fight against a seemingly revived ex- (referred to as ex-(DC)) in the Extreme Gundam Mystic Phase from Full Boost.

Darius has the huge Space Whale battleship Great Thing (sometimes called G.T.), which in several games — Darius Gaiden, G-Darius, Dariusburst, and Dariusburst Another Chronicle, in particular — is reached only by taking the hardest possible path in any game it appears in. Dariusburst and Another Chronicle in particular have it guard the Golden Ending. Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX ups the ante with G.T-V., found in Zone Z, the lowest and hardest final stage of the EX stage tree; it is basically Great Thing but Palette Swapped to purple and significantly harder.

Both games of the Star Gladiator series use this particular trope very well. In Star Gladiator, the player must beat the game within a specific amount of time in Arcade Mode so that they can go on to fight the true final boss of the game, or else they'll get a false ending when they defeat Bilstein. In Plasma Sword, whether or not you get enough Battle Ability points from within Arcade Mode determines your character's ending. If they don't have the specific amount of Battle Ability points needed when you get to Stage 8, they get an abridged (false) ending, while defeating the eighth opponent and having the specific amount of Battle Ability points grants an extra special battle against each character's True Final Boss, which yields the extended, true conclusion of that person's storyline.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus has the titular Physical God as the object of the game's last Mission. Naturally, the player first has to complete all 26 of the other Missions, which entails completing both the main storyline and the postgame story. Then one has to catch all 237 non-Mythical species of Pokémon in Hisui, and it's worth noting that #237 is only obtainable after completing Mission 26. Only then can you use the Azure Flute at the Temple of Sinnoh to open the path to the Hall of Origin, where Arceus challenges you to the most ruthless fight in the game.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within had a final fight with the Empress of Time if you just made it that far. If you collected all of the nine health upgrades scattered about, you get the Water Sword and it leads to an Alternate Ending that is much more satisfying, fighting the previously unkillable Dahaka. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones confirms this to be the canonical ending.

Getting the true ending of Live A Live requires recruiting the six other chapter protagonists during the Secret Final Campaign and then refusing to kill Oersted after the climactic fight with Odio, which allows you to watch the epilogue and final credits following a boss rush. Doing this in the 2022 remake nets the same result, but a True Final Boss appears after the boss rush: Sin of Odio, a fight that all of the heroes end up participating in — including Oersted, who tears himself out of the boss and becomes playable one last time to deliver the final blow.

Soul Series:
If you play Tales of Souls in Soulcalibur III normally, the final boss will be Abyss, but if you find the path to Olcadan and defeat him without ever continuing instead, you'll get the dreaded Night Terror as your final oppoent.
In Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, which final enemy you face in Standard Mode depends on how long it takes for you to reach the final stage. If you go very fast, it will be Night Terror. Below that, it will be Abyss. If you take too long, the character will be the highest-ranking character from Legend Mode.

Ketsui has Evaccaneer DOOM, which is only encountered if the player reaches the Special Round (by completing the first round of stages with no deaths, no bombs fired, and 120 million points or more) and makes it to the end, and which fires a veritable maelstrom of bullets like other CAVE TFBs, although compared to them the bullet patterns are more technical than just "overwhelm the player through sheer bullet count". The spinoff Ketsui Death Label has a "DOOM" mode where the player can fight it right out of the gate, and every time it's destroyed, it comes back more powerful, up to four times.

If you beat one game in the two The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games, you can transfer your save file to the other via code or wire, you get to see an expanded narrative, including Princess Zelda coming to Holodrum or Labrynna. Near the end, witches Koume and Koutake, The Man Behind the Man to the two Oracle villains Onox and Veran, kidnap Zelda as a sacrifice to revive Ganon. You're then taken to a small dungeon that leads to the final battles against first the witches, then their Fusion Dance Twinrova, and finally Ganon.

In Mitsumete Knight, you get to fight the leader of the enemy army, Wolfgario the Ravager, in his unmasked version if you have killed all the Generals who have appeared before him during the game. He's not more powerful than his masked version, but still follows this trope well, as his defeated animation in battle is different: instead of just dropping his sword and standing, contracted in pain, he now holds out his arm towards the sky, gets shocked by a thunderbolt, and falls on the ground.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles: Dracula has a secret third form that appears only if you rescue Annette (which means you have to save Iris and Terra. Saving Maria is not a requirement). After you beat the 2nd form again, he reverts to his original form but now with six demon wings. He then proceeds to fire bats, fireballs, meteors, turn into a wolf, and use his own version of Richter's Hydro Storm. It's a lot harder than it sounds.

DJMAX Technika's Technical courses have you select three songs, do those songs, then face a boss song (that is not revealed until you get to it). However, clearing the first two stages with at least 95% of your hits being rated "MAX" will bring up an alternate fourth song. For example, the Customizer course's normal final boss is "Son of Sun," and the TFB is "Sin."

Examples from the Mega Man X series...
Mega Man Xtreme 2 has separate scenarios for X and Zero; they team up in the latter stages, but they still split up to fight a different villain as a Final Boss. After beating one character's scenario, players get the option to play the second character's scenario, but now armed with the weapons of the bosses from the previous mode. Beat the second scenario, and Extreme Mode gets unlocked. This final mode not only combines the two scenarios into one narrative (and X and Zero are both available from the start), but now also has the traditional Boss Rush followed by Sigma at the end.
In a form of Easy-Mode Mockery, Mega Man X8 features Sigma as the Final Boss. The True Final Boss, Lumine, can only be fought on Normal and Hard modes.
In X Legacy Collection, the normal final bosses of X Challenge are either Iris and Double for Volume 1, or Dynamo and Gate for Volume 2. If you clear the game on Hard Mode, on the other hand, then trying to advance beyond the final stage results screen causes static to appear, followed by the Boss Warning Siren kicking in. After an introduction cutscene, you'll be taken to the secret Stage 9-4, which pits you against Ultimate Armor X and Awakened Zero, with whatever weapons you've cleared the regular Stage 9 with (if you selected any, that is).

In Every Extend, Heavy mode has a different (replacement, not subsequent) final boss if you collect 7 Quicken powerups, have at least 4 lives, and either below 100k or above 800k points. This is doable but not particularly easynote The game stops spawning Quicken-dropping enemies after you pick up 6 Quickens. Therefore you have to rely on getting at least two Quickens to be on the playfield at the same time once you're at five., although you can also summon him by having 8 Quickens (the cap) regardless of other conditions. The replacement boss itself not only has very difficult patterns, but each phase has a minimum explosion chain requirement needed to damage the boss unlike the regular final boss; simply getting an explosion on the boss won't work.

In Kirby Star Allies, completing the main story grants you access to the Ultimate Choice, which is its equivalent to The Arena and the True Arena. Clearing it on either difficulty levels 6 or 7 will grant you access to the highest difficulty, Soul Melter, featuring Void Soul replacing Void Termina's fourth phase, which was originally the game's True Final Boss. However, an update added a new mode called Heroes in Another Dimension. Clearing that mode and beating Soul Melter in The Ultimate Choice will unlock the secret difficulty, Soul Melter EX. Reaching the end of Soul Melter EX will bring you face to face with Void Termina, the True Destroyer of Worlds, with its fourth phase being Void, replacing Void Soul, becoming the game's True True Final Boss.

Ghosts 'n Goblins
The series always required you to play through the whole game twice (in one sitting) to get the right weapon to kill the Final Boss, but Ultimate Ghosts 'n' Goblins spiced things up by requiring you to find "magic rings", often hidden in impossible-to-reach places, to open the doors leading to Astaroth first and Hades later (the latter one requiring ALL of the 33 rings).
The spinoff series Gargoyle's Quest had two of these in the third game, Demon's Crest for SNES. If you collected every crest and item, the final boss, Phalanx, would reveal a new form far more challenging than the previous ones. If you beat this and sat through the credits, you got a password unlocking an even harder final boss, Dark Demon, who could be defeated for a different ending.

Raiden:
Raiden IV has one at the end of the second loop.
Raiden DX has one in the second loop in the secret ninth stage which can only be accessed by not continuing and completing most of the the second loop.
Raiden V has one called Divine Rampart. In order to reach it, you have to power up all your weapons to Level 10 before reaching the Stage 8 boss.
Raiden Fighters 2 has one called Red Eye. In the Japanese versions, a 100% Target Destroy Rate on both Stages 3 and 6 are required before reaching this Stage 7 boss. However, you will always encounter this in overseas versions.
Raiden Fighters Jet has the Real Battle hidden missions which you can only enter if you got less than one miss, and having better performance than average. And after destroying Jasper Virtuos and Simon Quartz, you can only fight XTB-1 if you don't get crushed before them.

Initial D Arcade Stage has Bunta Fujiwara, which gives you a free battle only if you have defeated all opponents in one loop of The Legend of Streets mode. He is extremely fast, so you have a hard time to block him from passing. However, the credits will roll even if you lose.

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy: In the original version, Gauntlet Legends, Skorne's true form could only be fought after hunting down all 12 runestones AND running through a level beforehand. After this fight in the remake, Garm absorbs Skorne's power, transforming into a large statue, taking control of Skorne's forces, and sealing himself within a citadel that can only be reached by finding the 13th runestone in the Battlefield.

In Tyrian, this actually happens twice in a row; first, you fight a giant brain, after which everything is said to be over, BUT THEN! note yes, it's written like that in the game, the former Big Bad Vykromod appears as a giant nose. If you beat him, the game again states that everything is over, but if you found a certain secret earlier in the game, you now have to fight a minigame-like boss on the planet Soh Jin, which, if you win, is revealed to be a creation of Zinglon himself, who you then fight in an offscreen battle. In Episode V, it's revealed that Zinglon was behind Microsol and Vykromod in the first place.

ARMS has three different final bosses based on your chosen difficulty level. After playing through nine stages fighting or competing against normal combatants, you enter the tenth battle against Max Brass. If you play Level 4 (the "medium" difficulty) or Level 5, a skull-shaped robot mask named Hedlok hijacks Max Brass and challenges you with six ARMS, grabs more powerful than most of the cast, and a Limit Break that eats through half of a character's life bar if it connects. Even then, that's not where it ends. To get the real True Final Boss, you have to play on one of the hardest two difficulties, where the final match is against Hedlok once more, but controlling its creator, Dr. Coyle, after she knocks Max Brass out of his arena and fuses with Hedlok after being defeated in a last ditch effort to destroy the player.

Armored Core: Last Raven features several multiple endings, but there is one extra mission taking place after the "true ending" where the player becomes the last remaining Raven alive. The mission is given to you by an unknown client and proposes for you to fight one last Pulverizer designed specifically to fight against you in the Intercine. The Pulverizer in question is a palette-swapped, souped-up version of the one fought in that ending, and your reward for beating it is what is arguably the best head part in the game.

In Illbleed, there was a hidden final boss that could only be accessed in a New Game Plus, by purposefully not saving your kidnapped friends. Stranger still, every time you let one of them die, Eriko (the protagonist) loses her clothing, until she is eventually completely naked save for a tiny thong-like panty scrap and a couple of band-aids over her nipples. Reach the final arena like this, and instead of introducing the final boss, the announcer will start drooling over you and come down there himself. And believe it or not, it gets even stranger from there...

Nuclear Throne provides one in the form of the I.D.P.D. Captain, with the boss's area only being accessible by looping the game and interacting with a very specific object (namely, the I.D.P.D. van that unloads a group of enemies). Unlike the Final Boss, which will only end your run if you don't meet the circumstances required to loop, beating this boss will always end your run and boot up the credits, stating that "the struggle is over".

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Team Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni, both the leader of an alternate timeline where Team Rocket fulfilled its goals and the commander of other successful Big Bads from previous generations. To even reach him, you need to go through almost every villain in the series up to that point, all of whom are packing Legendary Pokémon and one of whom who also has access to Mega Evolution. Giovanni himself is the most formidable of them all: his Pokémon are high-levelled and cover their weaknesses effectively, but the real problem is the fact that he has a Mega Mewtwo, which has one of the highest base stat totals in the entire series. Beating him is extremely hard, but feels very good.

Similarly, in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, completing the main game unlocks a postgame mode where you play as King Dedede and fight powered up versions of previous bosses, ending with a fight with Dark Meta Knight from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Beating both this boss and the Arena unlocks the True Arena and, upon beating Dark Meta Knight, the actual True Final Boss: Soul of Sectonia. However, if you're only expecting a powered up version of the original boss fight, you're in for a surprise after the first phase.

Mushihime Sama Futari one-upped the genre with two consecutive true final bosses which really do have to be seen to be believed. It's also called the hardest video game boss ever, with good reason. There's even a video on YouTube by that name. Also, Black Label's God Mode features an alternate form of the Final Boss, regarded by many players to be easier.

Akuma is a popular true final boss, first appearing in Super Street Fighter II Turbo to take out usual final boss M. Bison in one shot and then take you on if you beat every previous opponent without losing a single match.
Street Fighter: The Movie's console ports also have Akuma as a true final boss replacing M. Bison. All that needs to be done this time around is to play on the hardest difficulty.
Street Fighter IV moves it up a notch, having Akuma as a true final boss, then the harder to reach Gouken as the true true final boss, likely as a nod to the old "Sheng Long" rumors.
Super Street Fighter IV turns them into their Shin forms, making them much harder. And the Arcade Edition adds Shin Evil Ryu and Shin Oni into the mix.

Metroid:
Metroid: Zero Mission: If you obtain 100% Completion, the final boss will have roughly three times as much health as it normally does, and its attacks deal double damage.
Metroid Prime: Hunters: The player must shoot all six panels in Gorea's arena with the corresponding weapon in order to fight its second form and get the good ending.
Metroid: Other M: The post-game features a fight against Phantoon from Super Metroid, who is far more powerful and scarier than before. Unlike many examples of this trope, you can only fight it in the game's Normal difficulty: the boss is only unlocked through 100% completion, and Hard Mode is an enforced Minimalist Run.

Fatal Frame II usually ends with a fight against "Rope Man" (a.k.a. the Kusabi). However, on Nightmare difficulty on the PS2 of Fatal difficulty on the Xbox, you fight Sae Kurosawa after him, and get a different, somewhat happier ending. The Wii Remake allows the player to fight Sae at any difficulty, as long as several conditions are met.

BlazBlue:
If you clear Arcade Mode in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger with 10 or more Distortion Finishes and no rounds lost, you get the displeasure of fighting Unlimited Ragna, who has triple health and permanent Blood Kain.
In the console versions of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, beating Hazama with the right amount of Astral Finishes and without losing a round rewards you with a fight against Mu-12. Unlimited Mu-12, that is. If you're using Mu in CS2 though, you fight Unlimited Ragna instead. If you're playing as Relius Clover in the Extend edition, you get to fight Unlimited Ragna as well. Hazama doesn't get a TFB.

Teleroboxer features 7 different opponents to fight, with Mamoru with his Tukikage being the last one. However, the ending flat-out tells you that you are not the champion. This can be changed... assuming you have 7 wins and 0 losses. Should this requirement be met, you get treated to one final battle with an actual cat named Milky, who pilots the Bamsham. And if you score the victory against Milky, you get both the belt and the permission to see the credits.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak has Van, the protagonist himself, become the True Final Boss in the form of his Devil identity: "The Wandering Devil King" Vagrants-Zion, one of the five strongest Devils residing within Gehenna. This is after the Final Boss fight where Van recovers his stolen Diabolic Core from a Devil-powered Gerard Dantes and takes it back inside him while in Grendel Sin form, an "unshackled" form that gives its wearer cosmic awareness of Zemuria's truths and lies. Players will need to fight this Devil King with the remaining members of the Solutions Office in two phases: first while Van is locked inside it, and second when you regain control of Van as the Devil King becomes unstable after losing its human vessel. Unlike Cold Steel IV, this doesn't require a side quest to complete, as this fight is somewhat immediately after the Final Boss.

Hollow Knight:
In order to face the True Final Boss and get the best ending, you need to acquire the Void Heart in a late-game sidequest and use the Dream Nail on the final boss when prompted. Getting the Void Heart and not using the Dream Nail actually gets you an even worse ending than the default.
Completing the Godmaster DLC culminates in one final challenge: The Pantheon of Hallownest, a massive Boss Rush against every single boss in the game, including both the original and upgraded versions of certain bosses, culminating in a fight with Absolute Radiance, the true form of the True Final Boss of the core game. Beating her unlocks a brand new ending.

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, the format is similar to Triple Deluxe. The extra mode, this time with Meta Knight, has a gauntlet of new bosses consisting of Dark Matter Blade from Dream Land 2, Sectonia from Triple Deluxe, and Galacta Knight. At the end of the True Arena, the True Final Boss is revealed to be Star Dream Soul OS. It also gets an extra form, which is reminiscent of the previous Soul bosses as well as Heart of NOVA/Galactic Nova Nucleus.

Super Smash Bros.:
Melee and Brawl have Crazy Hand in Classic Mode, who will appear alongside Master Hand only if the difficulty level is set high enough and certain other conditions are met. Melee's Adventure mode has similar conditions for fighting Giga Bowser. Beating him earns you a trophy and the sight of Bowser's Adventure Mode trophy actually falling into the abyss, then exploding into a million tiny fragments.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, landing enough hits on Master Hand or Crazy Hand on Intensity 5.1 or higher will cause Crazy Hand to disappear, while Master Hand spasms and twists, clearly in pain as he transforms into the Master Core, a mass of shadow with six forms: Master Giant (a humanoid being), Master Beast (a scorpion-like being), Master Edges (an array of swords), Master Shadow (a Mirror Boss), Master Fortress (a Womb Level), and ultimately a defenseless orb. The number of forms that it uses varies depending on the difficulty (or in the case of Master Fortress, whether or not you're playing the Wii U version).
In the World of Light mode of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, killing Galeem or Dharkon at the end of the game will lead to a bad ending where the other Big Bad consumes the world in their respective element. The Golden Ending can only be achieved by fighting both of them together after a Rise to the Challenge level and a Boss Rush.
