Sooooo, StarFox 64, which I had on the N64 as a kid, introduced me to my very first encounter with a video game's final boss. I found myself flying through endless corridor after corridor until I ended up in a greenish-yellow void containing Andross, an ape's head with two floating hands.
He wasn't the only one to be such an entity. Other games I played had this trope too...and it fascinated me, for some reason.
Now, someone using the PICO-8 fantasy computer has made this: https://bridgs.itch.io/just-one-boss
It's called "Just One Boss" and....it's exactly what it sounds like. The whole game is a single boss battle against a magician hand mirror with two telepathic hands, using magician-themed attacks against you. Your only means of attack is by collecting glowing tiles that add to his damage. It's hard to do.
