First Masked Man fight in Mother 3, spend 4 turns debuffing him and buffing yourself and he only does 10-20 damage with his beam.

Super Mario Bros 2. If you use Princess... maybe Luigi too, you can jump behind the boss and throw vegetables into his mouth with impunity, rather than taking him head on and trying to dodge the stuff he throws up on you.

Dragon Age, in general, has easy bosses. The trouble is, while the bosses themselves can be readily dealt with by kiting if nothing else, they tend to come with gobs of support characters that make the battle difficult. Once the support is dead, if your tank can't absorb the damage (or is dead) or your healer can't heal through the damage (or is also dead), then simply switch everyone to ranged weapons and manually controll the target character and run the boss in circles.

In one case it was even easier. There is a particular Dragon that, when fought, simply stands in one place and will not pursue the party. At range it doesn't have a lot of options - a fireball (without knockdown), a mass stun and a move that allows it to pull a single party member into fang range. While up close the dragon is absolutely brutal and can readily tear any party member to pieces regardless of healing capacity of the healer (unless you engage it late game, which is unlikely for most play throughs I'd suspect), from range it is less dangerous that a Hurlock Emisarry, with the one exception that it has a dramatically improved HP pool.

Likely the bosses that proved most difficult were the revenants when trying to gain the Juggernaut armor pieces as each revenant had pulls, mass pulls, brutal damage output, thick armor, loads of health and came complete with a number of lieutenant grade monsters and a handful of normal mobs. If you're playing on a harder difficulty, it takes a fairly late game attempt to make it through without losing at least one of your characters in the fight. Your tank will be busy trying to hold the Revenant's attention, and the rest of the characters prove a hard fight for most of the rest of the party. Since they are undead, they tend to be highly resistant to the early stuns you have access to (cone of cold for example), and they also put out high DPS. Since most parties only have one actual tank, it's generally left to your squisiher rogue to try and hold the attention of the rest while your healer will be having to pull double duty keeping the actual tank alive and the rogue.

Game: Soul Calibur III
Portion: Chronicles of the Sword
Boss: Talim

While using a character with Raphael's fighting style and losing terribly for some reason, victory came from being knocked to the ground near the edge of the area and simply not getting back up. This allowed the flipping and dual-wielding little girl to effectively defeat herself by accidently flipping and/or jumping out of the ring - good ol' ring out - while she fruitlessly continued to attack the character. Repeat and dance in triumph.

Old King Allant in Demon's Souls,

just equip the thief's ring, when you walk into the battle shoot him in the back, as long as your doing more than 25 damage he will never turn around and fight you

The final boss of Psychonauts. Turn giant (you are now invincible), hit the dude a bunch, then the power runs out and you turn little. Run away on levitation ball until you turn big again, then hit the dude again until it runs out again. It's so easy.

Aw, I was just about to say that. Or in Tools of Destruction's "Challenge Mode", spam the Golden Groovitron. When the last Groovitron's music ends, simply throw the next one while pelting the boss with any gun. It made Tachyon a complete pushover.

I fucking love Ratchet and Clank but I'll agree that the bosses (bar Drek on your first playthrough) are piss easy with the write right stuff

Every final fantasy game I've played has at least one undead boss which insta-dies to a phoenix down.
