Side scrolling beat-’em-ups need to have loads of enemies in them, otherwise they’d be 10 minutes long. But you can’t just recolour everyone or make the player fight evil clones of themselves forever. That’s how we ended up with bizarre boss designs that are surely the result of a late night, a looming deadline and way, way too many cups of coffee. Consider these, our eight favourites.

If you were going to do The Simpsons, you should have done the giant bowling ball at the end of the "no we didn't create this entire level just to pad out the game" dream sequence level.

The characters in Revenge of Shinobi are a perfect reason why arcade games used to be fun. It didn't matter if it made sense... It was awesome!

@GhengisJohn 6 лет назад

I'm fairly certain the list of "Revenge of Shinobi's" bosses was devised by an eight year old in an arcade, trying to convince us that Shinobi was "like the toughest guy EVER".

@mistformsquirrel 6 лет назад

Could totally beat Spiderman who turns into Batman. Yes-huh!

@roguishpaladin 6 лет назад

I was just waiting for the next item on the list, with Spiderman, to feature something from Shinobi as a boss.

@RokuroCarisu 5 лет назад

I think it might be a Kamen Rider reference. The first villain to appear in that series was Kumo Otoko, the second Komori Otoko - literally Spider Man and Bat Man.

@LogicallyKnot 5 лет назад

I could hear the argument now. "I'll bet you 5 bucks Shinobi could beat up Batman, Spiderman, Rambo and The Terminator, at the SAME TIME!" "Nut-ugh! No he can't! " Ahhh The late 80s and early 90s! What a time to be alive and a gamer!

Not sure why you're surprised Mr Burns is a boss. He's quite literally Homer's boss.

@YourCrazyDolphin 6 лет назад

Chippies And the power suit makes sense too- he runs a nuclesr power plant... So he has a nuclear powered suit. Especially considering the fact that he is an old man and probably couldn't fight himself anyways, the suit works even better to explaining how he can fight anyways plus justifies a large health bar (as you're literally trying to break a solid metal machine by punching and kicking it).

@Enaronia 6 лет назад

His evil plan doesn't really fit, though. And only Homer punches and kicks. Lisa hits him with a jump rope.

@J-D03 5 лет назад

Enaronia That's because The Simpsons' game was made when the show was in its first or second season, they didn't had much characters or well stablished lore to work into the game so they had to improvise. (They were well known because of their shorts in the Tracy Ullman show). Another reason is that the game was made by a japanese company (Konami) so they probably didn't had any knowledge about the show. (Maybe the show didn't even air in Japan at the time). And just for a fun fact the game does portrays Mr Burns as a weakling, after you destroy his suit he's still alive and it only takes a single to beat him.

@ClassicSonicSatAm 5 лет назад

To be fair he has tried to killed the Simpsons a few times in the series, so it's not that surprising he would go the extreme with nuclear battle suit *heck he used a tank just to get to the Simpsons's house in the show*

Noooooooo. *HOW* can so much people be missing or secretly imprisoned when a low level mage can do the "cast, walk, wait to replenish mana" trick and prove where they are? I'm looking at you, Missing In Action quest! ANYONE can find Thorald Gray-Mane! That's more than GPS, that's X-men levels precognition mixed with a flawless GPS. I can't wrap my head aroung how massive that magic would need to be if magic was real, but ingame it is one of the lowest level ones.

At least Mr. Burns says 'Excellent' properly when he kills you. And he's not a bear or an evil bowling ball or a fire-breathing drunk like previous bosses. Final Fight 2 alone could fill another list. You fight Frankenstein's monster, an acrobatic clown (again not in a circus stage, but a train stage), and a guy dressed up as an Oni with wooden clogs and a wig. Then Final Fight 3 has a pirate.

@therealsulaco 6 лет назад

Years ago for my own enjoyment I planned out the roster and accompanying move set for a hypothetical Simpsons fighting game called "Mortal Krusty". My favourite character was Mr. Burns who never did any actual fighting, instead barking out orders and having Smithers fight for him. I'm still surprised no Simpsons game has done this.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was a licensed game, based off of a comic book that got a animated series the same year. (I think there was a toy line as well.) Capcom's Simpsons game was probably truer to series canon than C&D was.

Well you see, Kanga died of cancer in Roo's teenage years. With Owl growing senile and Rabbit being constantly hunted by a strange bald man with a speach impediment, no one was mature enough to help raise Roo. So to support himself, Roo had to turn to underground streat fighting. After winning a few fights, a robot clown manager had tricked Roo into a contract, making Roo a fighting slave.

The first entry just puts that section of Streets of Rage in a new light. Maybe an alien fell in a bad part of town and was adopted by a bunch of fans of self-defense. The people you fight on the way were just trying to keep you from find their new friends. In the end, you kill a defenseless alien and walk out thinking you've just stopped some jerk's plot to take over the city or whatever that game's plot was.

That said that whole game is weird as all hell, with one player being a small girl on a battle ostrich and another is a carnivorous plant with a giant eyeball in his stomach. In any other side-scroller they'd be bosses, not heroes.

I'm surprised you didn't have the final boss from narc, Mr. Big. He would have been ahead of all the competition. he he he

Oooh! So that is why I made so many old man robots in 90's RPG's. Cheers Andy!

Pretty sure the Central Park level of Spider-Man is an allusion to the 80s\90s tall tales of alligators in the sewers (see that) and crazy animals in the park. It was a thing stateside.

It's quite amazing how much influence a low-budget hit movie like the Terminator had!

Revenge of Shinobi seems like one of those games where if you went into it with an ounce of magic mushrooms and an open mind you would 1; need more mushrooms, and 2; finish the game with a 400 page novel detailing how its the greatest, deepest game ever made since Jesus' birthday.

H.R. Giger actually suffered from night terrors for all his life, just to let you guys know... Nightmares are puppies when you compare them to those. But that is where all his brilliant art came from.

Sledge from Violent Storm, who is basically a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Parody (Konami paying tribute to their TMNT license). A sewer ninja decked out in your kitchen equipment.

Final boss from the Scott pilgrim game, specifically the one where he’s a torso flying on a mass of messed up faces of the previous bosses

@ChaosRayZero 5 лет назад

Knowing Scott Pilgrim it was probably a deliberate joke on Beat 'em Ups always having weird bosses.

Dangit, now I want to play Golden Axe, Double Dragon and Altered Beast again... Thanks a lot Outsidexbox! I had plans this week!

I absolutely loved the Simpsons arcade game! Used to play it all the time on family holidays in Dorset. Wait, it came out in 1991? Bloody hell, I’m old!

Pointing at nothingness... yeah, THAT'S why we're worried about Ricky.

If he could point in 3 dimensions, he'd be doing it at you.

About Zamza and Oehellis. I think it's safe to assume that the Oehellis head was just an animatronic (since machinery does tend to make weird sounds when you beat the shit out of it), and Zamza was an actor/performer/ gang member working at the attraction.

What about Mr. Big from NARC? He goes from a snappily dressed guy in a wheelchair, to a giant disembodied head, then his head explodes and his skull starts chasing you around. The game was supposed to promote the DARE anti-drug campaign, but I am sure the game designers were high on something when they made this monstrosity.

7:47 I LOL'd also I just noticed the absurd hilarity not mentioned of Smithers setting off a suicide bomb vest at the end of the fight (that wasn't weird enough) that only napalms himself. this is a hilarious ugly side not seen of the characters. they're going insane lol. maybe this is the inspiration of Famicon's "Bart the General". I'm sure Matt Groening enjoyed this if he ever seen it.

Mr Burns as a final boss?? *taps fingers together* EXCELLENT! I'm surprised he doesn't try to release the hounds.

I thought the bowling ball was the weirdest boss in the simpsons beat em up

@TailsGaming1999 5 лет назад

I completely agree with that

@yamatanooroshikirin4001 5 лет назад

considering it was a hallucination/dream you could expect weird shit in that level tbh... it makes sense to be there specifically

@littleblueriolu9093 5 лет назад

2:07 That you will find in Violent Storm, at the end of Stage 2 you fight a violent ticket inspector with his oversized electric ticket puncher.

You've got to have some sympathy for Mr X. What else was he going to do with his life? He obviously didn't have the grades/money to take Jane's Mad Science PHD course to become Dr. X and the musician angle was already taken by Sigue Sigue Sputnik's guitarist.

I still remember that fight against Mr. Burns in the Simpsons arcade. Still the only arcade game we officially beat.

@frozenaorta 6 лет назад

The Burns and Smithers fights in The Simpsons still crack me up. Even in 1990, we knew that was glaringly off-kilter for the show's young canon.

@argentpuck 6 лет назад

"Old man robots were all the rage in the 90s. I expect." Excellent delivery on that one.

@DFloyd84 6 лет назад

The Simpsons arcade game has the excuse of being made really, really early in the show's run, so the designers had a lot of freedom to interpret the characters and locations.

@the204cool 6 лет назад

Andy's commentary was on point with this video!

@jamesdick2580 Год назад

and the way Zamza uncloaked himself, looked like a bit of reference to Predator.

@EuphoricAnarchist 5 лет назад

Zamza always reminded me of a Blanka and Vega hybrid and glad someone else mentioned it.
