* In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'', Dogadon eventually becomes one of these in his second appearance -- take too long to kill it after it starts to make the platform sink, and eventually the lava will kill you. The FinalBoss [[spoiler:is a more direct example; it's set up as a boxing fight in which the player has a limited number (specifically, 12) of timed rounds (3 minutes apiece) in which to K.O. King [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast K. Rool]]. K. Rool has five "forms" (actually, more like tactics) - one for each of the playable Kongs to battle - and the defeat of one form will cause the fight to move on to the next round, bringing in the next Kong (and recharging the player's health.) But if a round's timer expires before K. Rool's current strategem has been beaten, the next round will begin with the player fighting the same form as before, with as much health as he had as the previous round ended; K. Rool, on the other hand, will be fully healed. If all 12 rounds pass before the player has beaten all five tactics, the player loses the fight, regardless of his or her remaining health.]]

* All the bosses in ''VideoGame/{{Hellsinker}}'' are this. When the timer runs out they move on and the game telling you that [[YouSuck they lost interest]].
** Although just like ''VideoGame/{{Ikaruga}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' you normally still beat them in the regular manner.
** However it should be noted that doing this on Rex Cavalier results in an NonstandardGameover.
* In ''Videogame/CrashBandicoot2CortexStrikesBack'', if in the final battle Crash takes too long to defeat [[spoiler:Cortex]], he will escape through a tunnel and Crash will be forced to start the fight over.
* In ''VideoGame/OverBlood'' the final boss is timed due to a SelfDestructMechanism and you do still have to [[spoiler: fight it again and again as it follows you]].
* ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger'' has this in Shadows of Alima for the Dialga boss fight. [[spoiler: If you take too long, you have to start the battle over again. To avoid this from happening, avoid Dialga's attacks, then use the Pokémon's power to get Dialga's HP to full, and you should have no trouble.]] Also occurs in Guardian Signs for the past bosses for the remaining time. [[spoiler: The boss you will have trouble with is Lucario, who, in this case, rages twice during the boss when you think you're going to beat it. When this happens, simply avoid the attacks and place your Pokémon AWAY from Lucario's wake, and then, if you're fast enough, you can finish it off before time reaches to 0.]]
