The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

You mean the whole game, or just a certain (or more) levels?

I mean the very beginning (other than the title screen and character select, obviously).

I suspect up until now this was treated as just Warm-Up Boss (which mentions a boss immediately after the tutorial), but I think there might be enough examples for this as a subtrope. Often a boss-as-tutorial (not to be confused with Training Boss, which seems more like a scaled-up Training Dummy and often appears later alongside new mechanics). May be a Final Boss Preview, particularly if the game then flashes back to How We Got Here.

If this does go to TLP, might I suggest: In Medias Boss

You mean an intro boss, right? They can be either Warm-Up Boss or Hopeless Boss Fight.
