Bonus Boss is a disambiguation


* In ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'', in the original game the Final Battle against the BigBad Sturm consists of a 3-on-1 match. The 1st CO is always Andy, but the 2nd and 3rd are seemingly randomized between the other CO's encountered. That is, until you read an online guide and find out the formula for getting the CO's you want. The Blue Moon CO depends on who you used in that first fork in the road at the beginning of the game, ''Max Strikes''; if you used Andy, Max shows up to help at the end, unless you completed "Olaf's Navy!" by rout, in which case it's Olaf, whereas if you used Max, it's Grit. The 3rd CO depends on what you did in Green Earth and Yellow Comet; if you completed the three Missions against Sonja (which had requirements to unlock by themselves), Kanbei is your 3rd helper. In the Green Earth Missions, using Andy for all of them nets you Drake in the third position, while using Sami for all of them gets you Eagle (as well as the BonusBoss Mission ''Rivals''), both of whom override Kanbei. Doing none of these things results in Sami in the third position. The map is winnable regardless of who your combination is, but certain players do better with certain CO's, and the CO's start with different and sometimes better stuff (for example, Kanbei begins with several tanks and other heavy units while Eagle starts with an air squadron).

*** On ''Disgaea 2'', the endings are completely confusing to unlock. The default ending is the easiest, by far, but the Bad Ending requires 50 ally kills which is highly unlikely as that is a rather excessive number for it, and the Worst Ending requires 99 ally kills with Rozalin in that number, an even less likely scenario (especially if you never use Rozalin). Assuming you get the Worst ending by being that bad at the game, you're immediately thrust without option into a BonusBoss fight against [[spoiler:Rozalin, who has returned to her true Overlord Zenon form]], a boss fight over 1500 levels higher than the final boss himself. The Tink ending is by far the worst and most ridiculous: get Tink up to level 2000 and have him kill the final boss. Not only is level 2000 waaaaaay over the final boss's head, but Tink is easily one of the absolute worst units the game has to offer.
