During the final battle in Tooie, after taking enough damage, Gruntilda floods the arena with poison gas.You get two and a half minutes before the boiler you're fighting in reaches maximum temperature, where it will stay on permanently and quickly deplete your air, and then your health.



In Banjo-Tooie, there's Old King Coal.It is recommended to use the Gold Feathers against them in this case. You'll have 70 seconds for Boss Boom Box, and 30 for the Zubbas. However, unlike the original fights, these will be timed. In the first game, it is possible to have a rematch against Boss Boom Box and/or the Zubbas during the Pop Quiz minigame run by Gruntilda.If you time-out with a life lead, you get the bad ending and can't continue. The fight with Ragnarok in Arcana Heart 3 has a 60 second time limit.Failure to beat the Baron in the ensuing time limit will cause an instant mission failure, regardless of remaining tries. When the Baron reaches about 25% health, a cargo plane explodes in mid-air, threatening to squash everyone around it. The battle with the Blacker Baron in Anarchy Reigns becomes one of these in the last leg.ALLTYNEX Second has the the Area 2 midboss, the Omega Javelin, a Wave-Motion Gun that charges up and blows you and the rest of the human fleet away for a Non Standard Game Over if you don't destroy it in time.Agent Hugo: RoboRumble: Geekdorph has to be defeated within four minutes.Other missions frequently require the player to take down a bomber or flying fortress before it exits the map. While all Ace Combat missions are timed, final bosses frequently have a separate, much shorter, timer for the last stage of the fight.Absented Age: Squarebound: Beating the boss of an Arcade dungeon isn't mandatory to clear the level, but if the player wants to do so, they have to win within the time limit like all the other floors, or the game will automatically teleport them to the exit floor.No such luck in Super Punch-Out!! and Arm Wrestling: You have to knock out your opponent (technically or instantly) or you'll lose. However, boxing games like Punch-Out!! in its NES and Wii versions allow you to claim victory if you perform well enough against your opponent and the referee reviews it. Many Fighting Game bosses fall under this, as all fights are timed to begin with.If a Time-Limit Boss has a short fuse before ending the fight, it may be considered a Rush Boss as well. Compare Boss Arena Urgency for the times when a boss will make the fight Unwinnable if you take too long and Increasingly Lethal Enemy for when taking too long just makes the fight even harder. In a turn-based game, the time limit can be substituted with a turn limit for the equivalent effect.Ī specific inversion includes battles where victory is achieved when the time runs out and you are left standing. After the time limit runs out, the boss usually escapes or self-destructs, allowing you to proceed to the next level anyway, though often you will be penalized by getting reduced end-of-stage bonuses. This can often turn an enemy that wouldn't normally be difficult to defeat into That One Boss.īoss battles in many a Shoot 'Em Up are timed, usually to prevent you from infinitely "milking" a boss by shooting down projectiles and support enemies without killing it. The Time-Limit Boss is a combination of Timed Mission and Boss Fight, and involves bosses which have to be beaten within a certain preset period of time (either seconds or turns), or else the boss escapes, turns invincible, or unleashes a One Hit Total Party Kill. Sometimes your greatest foe is not the Giant Enemy Crab standing in front of you - it's the countdown right above his head.
