You had to replay the last part of the fight before getting back to it. The final boss fight against Venom was terrible for this for two reasons.

Or between twitchroid Simon-says exercises, just when enough action has passed that you can believe it's over and you can just enjoy the rest of the show - whoop, there's another one! Fortunately, you don't die you simply reload to slog through the prior crap for another iteration.

Spider-Man 3 was filled with these, usually unexpectedly popping up during a dramatic cut-scene after the button flashes for a 1-0.5 sec warning.

which is good, because winning them with normal human dexterity is provably impossible. You only take some damage when you lose, though.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within has button-mashing sequences during the boss fights.

Worth letting them grab you once just to see it.

Or for the smaller enemies, you get to watch Isaac brutally kill them with his bare hands like a frantic, terrified, space mechanic.

If you fail to do so in time (or at all), you will end up being killed in one of many possible gruesome death scenes, if you succeed in breaking away, you will push the Necromorph far enough away to use your weapon to kill it.

Dead Space uses a system where if a Necromorph grabs a hold of you, a prompt will appear to press a certain key repeatedly to try to wrestle out of their grip.

At least two boss battles could only be won this way: one on account of being big as hell, another on account of being difficult as. These are called 'speed/stealth kills' and mercifully, you only need to hit the primary attack button.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones had this as well.

Certain bosses also use these to deal the killing blow.

Prince of Persia (2008) uses those whenever the character is on the verge of being defeated (since you cannot die, failing the events causes the enemy to regain health).

The only reason few people noticed it was this trope was that it's done with brushstrokes instead of buttons.

ЕЊkami had several sequences where the player had to perform certain actions at certain times to help a certain character.

Every disarm taken from behind (sneak disarms rare but possible if you run up on an unaware enemy fast enough) requires that you only press the Y button timing does not matter so much as positioning.

Required once (and only once) in Mirror's Edge.

It's particularly annoying when you're trying to jack a helicopter because the sequence takes time, and all the while the cops are shooting at you and damaging the chopper.

In the PC version, you have to press numbers from 1 to 4 to hijack vehicles, hack computers, and generally do anything mission-relevant.

Even so, the mechanic is generally reviled for being completely unnecessary outside of creating a use for the touch screen, and numerous speedrunners consider drawing the seal more difficult than fighting the boss. Made a lot less irritating by how you always know what pattern you need (it opens the door to the room), and are allowed to practice the patterns beforehand (or even during the fight) until they become second nature. Fail, and the boss regains 25% of its life. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow has a similar mechanic, forcing you to draw the proper pattern on the touch-screen to kill a boss once it reached 0 health.Occurs in the final battle with the DomZ priest in Beyond Good & Evil (failure causes you to take damage and forces you to redo the sequence from the start) then once again with the controls reversed.

Failure during these sequences just means that you lose the adrenaline and any mook you haven't taken down gets a free hit.

It's also possible to build up adrenaline and unleash a multi-mook takedown manuever, which also requires button pushes.

Get even one wrong, and you're usually sent straight to the Mission Failed screen.

The Bourne Conspiracy randomizes which buttons you need to press each time, to prevent you from just memorizing them.
