true last boss (tlb)

What does true last boss (tlb) mean?

The boss behind the boss. Beyond the normal ending sits a secret final boss that only unlocks if you meet brutal conditions: no-missing, hitting a score threshold, surviving into a second loop. Usually the hardest fight in the entire game by a country mile.

"Met the conditions, the screen went dark, and the TLB just wrecked me in ten seconds."
