I think "Boss" would be a better name for the article. It's a lot more common term than "Boss Level", and it's easier to find. Plus, non-boss levels can have bosses in them, like free edit worlds. Plus, the page is focused on the boss itself rather than the things found in boss levels, such as minigames on the side which are rather common. --N1KF (talk) 23:53, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
