Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
A game where cards are used to fight your enemies, or one where you make a "deck" with different abilites. Some examples are Culdcept Saga, Yggdra Union, and Phantom Dust.
These prehistoric behemoths cause chaos amongst many. Unfortunately, they are extinct.
Mammals that have pouches and like to hop.
Lions are currently the second largest felines on Earth. They are often referred to as the king of the jungle.
The concept of lives in video games evolved to let the player get a second chance after failing once. The most recognizable symbol is the heart.
Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a man.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
Like a critical hit, this is a special action invoked from certain attacks in games or caused randomly on attacks by a character's statistic. It causes opponents to lose the ability to attack back for a certain period of time, and usually invokes the hit character to go into a special animation.
Whether by item or otherwise, temporary invincibility provides the user a brief moment where they are impervious to attack.
The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
Games (usually board games) where players make use of letters to find or form words. It can be anything from word searches to Scrabble.
