** As if to spite all of the other {{Superboss}}es, [[RivalFinalBoss Claidheamh]] can take them all on (before you ask, ''[[WolfpackBoss yes, all at once]]'') and become even stronger than all of them in his separate [[AnotherSideAnotherStory adventures in each of the Tales of Troperia games]]. Upon completing this challenge, Sir Robert can challenge Claidheamh to a true fight, [[DuelBoss one-on-one]].

* '''Exaggerated''': You have to get the GoldenEnding in ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia'', then do the entire game on NewGamePlus on a HarderThanHard playthrough to even get a shot of fighting the SNKBoss Infini the Wise. Fail and he deletes your entire save file.

* '''Downplayed:''' Tales of Troperia has several OptionalBoss fights but none of them are stronger than Emperor Evulz.

* '''Averted:''' Tales of Troperia has no superbosses and the game ends after beating Emperor Evulz.

** The developers decided to add fights with Jupiter, Infini the Wise, Broken Anomaly, Future Sir Robert, ???? and Claidheamh to the SNKBoss list because they were remaking ''Tales of Troperia'' as ''Tales of Troperia: Ultra Competition DX'' and felt that some new content would add some life to the game and reward veteran fans with something new.

* '''Exploited:''' While Sir Robert and the party are busy searching for strong opponents to fight and treasure to seek, Emperor Evulz has resurrected from the dead just in time for ''Tales of Troperia II'' which begins with Evulzs stealing Sir Robert's post-game powers to empower himself.

-->'''Bob''': "Remember when ''Tales of Troperia'' was all the rage and there was this cave with this guy called Blackhole?"\\

** Blackhole is one of the strongest bosses in ''Tales of Troperia'' and very few are strong enough to reach him. Years of having only hostile monsters for company and visitors who only want to fight him for his weapon has caused him to lose all faith in humanity, transforming him into a merciless foe who holds nothing back.

* '''Straight''': After defeating Emperor Evulz at the end of ''Tales of Troperia'', you unlock the [[BonusDungeon Caverns of Ragnarok]] which contain a powerful Superboss called Blackhole. Bob will need to be much, ''much'' stronger to defeat Blackhole if he wants to obtain the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Ragnarok Sword]].

** To unlock the Broken Anomaly, [[ViolationOfCommonSense you have to lose 255 times to every regular fighter in the game]], do a NewGamePlus playthrough without saving once, do another NewGamePlus playthrough with no continues and then get your save file deleted by losing to Infini the Wise. When you start a new playthrough, there should be a strange portal near Bob's bed where you fight the Broken Anomaly.

* '''Justified:''' Bob is a BloodKnight and is deliberately seeking strong opponents to sate his desire for combat now that Emperor Evulz is dead.
** Emperor Evulz was so mad that he decided to train up and took refuge in an abandoned tower to recover. Upon finding the fallen emperor, Bob decides to kill him for good this time.
** [[MyNameIsQuestionMarks ????]] can be encountered at the Ruins of Messiah and is revealed to be a VillainOfAnotherStory. Bob decides that they has to be stopped before they can do any real damage.
** Through the power of a StableTimeLoop, Bob can fight an alternate version of himself who can use the strongest powers in the game due to doing multiple NewGamePlus runs. Future Bob wants to kill Bob to prevent him from abusing NewGamePlus and awakening powerful opponents who want to kill him for merely existing.
** Bob is so powerful that the Planetary Guardians are now trying to kill him due to their feelings that he's now a potential threat to the planet.

* '''Parodied''': Bob returns to the SuckECheeses only to find Carl the Chicken Man, who [[MegatonPunch slaps Bob once]], causing him to become ATwinkleInTheSky.

** After beating Emperor Evulz, TheMentor visits Bob 2 weeks later and tells them that he needs to visit an old friend for additional training. That old friend is Grandmaster Gary, who is far stronger than Emperor Evulz and whose sheer power must be overcome if Bob wants to stand a chance against the TrueFinalBoss.
** The developers decided to add fights with Jupiter, Infini the Wise, Broken Anomaly, Future Bob and ???? to the SNKBoss list because they were remaking ''Tales of Troperia'' as ''Tales of Troperia: Ultra Competition DX'' and felt that some new content would add some life to the game and reward veteran fans with something new.

* '''Invoked:''' Upon being killed, Emperor Evulz transports the last of his power into a powerful monster near Bob's ruined hometown out of spite. His dying words have him claim that this monster shall destroy everything Bob loves unless he can find it.
* '''Exploited:''' While Bob and the party are busy searching for strong opponents to fight and treasure to seek, Emperor Evulz has resurrected from the dead just in time for ''Tales of Troperia II'' which begins with Evulzs stealing Bob's post-game powers to empower himself.
* '''Defied''': "Hell no, I'm done with this game. I'm not spending 100 more hours of my time trying to kill every powerful enemy who looks at me funny."

-->'''Bob''': "Wait a minute, if you're even stronger than Emperor Evulz, then why aren't you trying to take over the world?"\\

'''Bob''': "Damn. I guess I'll have to put a stop to you too, before you can do any real damage to the world."

* '''Deconstructed:''' Blackhole is one of the strongest bosses in ''Tales of Troperia'' and very few are strong enough to reach him. Years of having only hostile monsters for company and visitors who only want to fight him for his weapon has caused him to lose all faith in humanity, transforming him into a merciless foe who holds nothing back.

* '''Reconstructed:''' Rather than kill Blackhole, Bob spares his life and takes the sword as his prize. If you return to him again and defeat him with no losses, he'll show up and beat Emperor Evulz to a pulp as part of the game's secret ending.

** The developers had some extra time and decided to create the entire Caverns of Ragnarok dungeon and it's boss as a fun extra before the game was released.

'''Bob''': "Wait a minute, if you're even stronger than Emperor Evulz, then why aren't you trying to take over the world?"
** '''????''': "Oh contrare, my naive hero. That's the exact reason I came to these old ruins. To kickstart my own plans. And I have you to thank for getting rid of that idiot Evulz ''for me''."
** '''Bob''': "Damn. I guess I'll have to put a stop to you too, before you can do any real damage to the world."

'''Bob''': "Remember when ''Tales of Troperia'' was all the rage and there was this cave with this guy called Blackhole?"
** '''Alice''': "Black what? I couldn't even get past the first floor without my party being beaten to death by these stupid purple mages and their death spells."
** '''Bob''': Oh? The Reaper Mages are a real pain. Then again, I suppose it's nothing that hours worth of level grinding can't fix, eh Alice?
