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.

The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
A line that signals the start or the end of the race. Even though it is used for racing, it could mean any type of racing game.
