Boss Analysis # 39 

41:53 Let me just say this. I took a computer science course at college a couple years ago and one of the first things we were taught to program was something that bounces around the screen. We were then taught to add other, independently bouncing clones of the object. The final boss is literally the introduction to a computer science course.

Oh yea this games has some very fitting bosses like: Crocodiles Elephants *G I A N T M O N S T E R B R A I N*

me: "Why the first half of bosses throw babies at you?" game: "T A N K B A B I E S"

Part of this I love. The fact that you finish the game, and "oh surprise, you just played half the game". And not only that, but beating the second half and realizing there's still another true final boss to discover. Literally no game now a days would do that, they would just make some DLC instead.

"alright we are having this minotaur as the main villain, he starts out all small and cute, but as the fight progresses he grows bigger and bigger until he is that huge awesome beast. I'm thinking four phases." "That sounds like a pretty great final boss fight!" "Final Boss? Are you kidding! The final boss is a bunch of bouncing balls!"

I feel like if there's a good way to sum up this game, would be "But wait... there's more."

The minotaur boss sometimes didn't release the babies on the ground because you attacked it before he could do so. When he goes into the air, you have less time to react to it, so he can do the attack.

35:29 I have made some custom descriptions to add to this boss Is it related to Mr. X?: No. But in an evil way, Yes. Also, Andross. Is this Metroid?: No Does it have the brains to rule Lylat?: You wish

I swear, this games gives me the "SUPRISE! I have a creepy ass bad ending" vibes

I live for those boss descriptions lol

Imagine having a childhood game you love, and years later you discover how little of it you have actually seen... That happened to me with Super Mario 64

I counted 21 hits on the whale. That also sounded like 16 on the elephant. The phases for the final battle are: 16-25-55-110.

The boss descriptions. Please. Do keep up the excellent comedy in future Boss Analysis videos.

Sequiro's very existence is something nobody seems to know about. Glad it got covered in a video somewhere with top quality.

Tam and Rit, doing the Hulk slam before it was cool!

Sequiro: Minotaurs Die Twice

Oh my god, I've played this. As soon as I saw you flinging the enemy back and forth, it unearthed a memory from my childhood of weird plug and plays my family got from a trip to China for the Game Boy. That thing had a veritable garden of gems and spunk with such games like Mega Man 2 GB, a very strange version of Super Mario Bros 3 and my "favorite", Sonic 3-D Blast 5.

If you look at the tank’s treads it IS driving into the background.

The boss theme for this game is surprisingly good to me.

This was also one of the first arcade games I played on my MAME collection. I always had a soft spot for Bubble Bobble games. As a kid I always assumed that the Minotaur Demon kidnapped the mother because he was so lonely in his tower an just wanted a mother for himself.

As a programming student that final boss in *SUPER* easy to program

i like how you call the red mushrooms different things each time

Awesome video. I loved Rodland on the Amiga, I did know about the part 2 but never knew there was a 'true' final boss as well. Nice! Am I remembering right, when you beat the elephant boss on the Amiga, he went up to the top, then his chains snapped and he crashed down making the screen shake? Also I find it interesting that the Amiga version used part 2's boss music for the boss fights instead of the original part 1 boss theme.

Sequiro ~ Blobs Bounce Twice

With how long the Final Boss is, I'm convinced he says Blargh 120 times

The game that loves making baby versions of all bosses.

It feels like story 2 was a planned sequel the devs were working on, only to be told they weren't getting one, but the devs didn't want the work to go to waste, so they tacked story 2 onto the arcade version. This would also explain the weak final bosses, the devs slapped them together last minute as they were running up against a deadline.

So about the twin robot boss: A. The orange one's head looks like an 8-bit Glados, or one of those mega man life pickups, but instead of the big orb, it's one of the small orange dots just drooping at the bottom. And B. The blue one is a Zaku!

Brainy Alien's attractiveness is a solid 10/10 and we all know it

That minotaur demon looks like Sigma, from Mega Man X, if his head was replaced with a bulls. And not only are the alien brain and Sequiro lame bosses, but the music playing during their fights (especially Sequiro's) are very unfitting.

I have watched so many of your videos the I can immediately distinguish new ones

Perhaps the Fat Elephant is related to Madame Amberly? Also the first boss of the second round reminds me that World of Tanks sucks. Hmmh. Sequiro will reach his goals on another world. Is it a world where shadows die twice?

Great episode yet again! Btw, I have a suggestion on a game to do a Boss Analysis on next. How about Ristar? Just a friendly suggestion.

Always up for more of these!

44:03 - Final Boss rating from one to five UGHs:

13:06 : me before everyone had their growth spurt 13:14 : me after everyone had their growth spurt

Sequiro, huh? Wonder if it's pronounced like Sekiro

2:39 Crocodiles 5:52 Whale 9:35 Elephant 12:50 Minotaur Demon 23:14 Tank 26:36 Aerial Assault Team 31:20 Fusion Mechs 35:05 Brain 41:04 Sequiro

2:42 Digits mixed up on the 4th sub-portion, right? 26:43 And here I was thinking about Crystal Calamity earlier into watching the video. 41:40 Oh hey, it's that rating I've been giving out as a meme to mock weapon abuse in KIU. Also, a bouncing orb with a King Kanji? Wow, how original, game. Yeah, Xen Syndrome does strike indeed.

This game will hold a special place in my heart. I remember playing it in the Mame Emulator in my childhood. The main characters are cute, the enemies (especially in the first world) are cute, the bosses (well mostly) cute. ❤️

Could it be the final Boss dies techincally because it was preserved inside a Tank, and since its outside it can only survive for so long? If so thats actual cool logical design.

Oh i remember this game! Also remember my brother refusing to play it because it was 'too girly'

2:45 - Technically swapped some digits by mistake in the tooth count. 6 times 64 is actually _384_ ... but you _did_ say "up to".

Rulue sama XD i love to see puyo puyo references (even more from compile era)

Let's not talk how a tank can have that many babies...

Oh hey, a Boss Analysis! This should be a nice short n' sweet vid- *45:35* ...well there go all my plans for the night.

36:44 - 38:14 "Don't mind me, just limberin' up my tentacles."

The main characters are names Tam and Rit? I almost read that wrong...

So I just found out today that there was a puzzle type looking game with characters from Rodland it was called Soldam an arcade game that got another entery on the switch called Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase. I don't know if this is true but I think the Rodland characters only show up in the Japanese version of the original

In the NES Version (yes theres one.) YOU CAN......... JUMP !!!!!

35:29 That's a metroid...

To "whoisthisgit" , Great News, Rod Land is now on the Nintendo Switch, it is listed on Arcade Archives and was released during the week of January 4th-8th 2021, get it on "Nintendo eShop" today. Are you happy, "whoisthisgit"? I hope so.

Man, when you love a game it surely shows.

Isthisgit!! I'm watching this video for the second time! And let me tell you that I love the second boss theme music!! It's so cerebral but compeling at the same time!! Don't sounds like the usual boss troops but my God id this a nice song! What I most like about it is that it looks like they were thinking like this " Well If they played trough the first half of the game and finished It. They might as well are liking it, therefore they will like the second half too! So why don't we experiment a little bit and trow in that weird little cachy boss tune into the the second boss theme as well!" That I think is what I find amazing specially in the arcade games back in that era! They have so much freedom to compose weird ass amazing out of the ordinary catchy and quite complex and moody soundtracks! ( Listen to Dinamite Heady, Gunstar Heroes. Alien Soldier or even Ristar for instance!! They all have atmosferic fantastic music that seems to stimulate our brains! I listen to them even to this day!!)

Imagine beign a german tank goin to war and these two pieces of game material just disintegrate you

18:10 Plays Ultra instinct theme

I know I should be getting sleep, but whosthisgit is more important.

Thanks now the boss theme is stuck in my head forever

'Huhhuhhuh... You said 'rod', huhhuhhuh...' Amazing that even after a lifetime in gaming there's still some forgotten gems we haven't even heard of until now. Perhaps one of the first games to ever have a 'hidden boss'?

Wow, its 1 am already! Gotta sleep... Great vid as always! Also, i would love if you make a #Boss analysis from Don Doko Don 2, best known here as its pirate version Super Mario Bros 8. It has a some great bosses and its a very dear game to me. Greetings from Argentina 💕

14 likes 14 views.... A beautiful sight

35:04 looks like one of the flying robot parts hit ya :D

that boss music tho

Hey! Those are the bosses of Soldam!

Enjoys: *Crushing fairies with its ass.*

There is a pentagram on the chest of the monster in the background of the final boss

Wait... so the villain lives and swear revenge? ... WHERE'S MAH SEQUEL??

Hey, for the next Boss Analysis episode, can you cover the Gizoids in the Sonic series? Especially in Sonic Advance 3.

I love this series. Didn't know the game before

him calling the red things a different name every time he mentions them is hilarious

RodLand!

Rod Land is followed up with the puzzle spin-off Soldam, which is my favourite puzzle game ever (better than Puyo Puyo imo).

Too bad for you guys, cause it's morning for me and I don't have to sleep unlike you

Music won't leave my head

What exactly is it that you have against elephants? Which video should I watch?

Whoisthisgit Looking at underrated gems and showing it to the world **looks at dynamite Headdy, my second favorite genesis game**

I think the brain boss dies on its own because it needed to be kept in that protective glass case to stay alive? So as you're fighting it, it's slowly dying the entire time. That might be a neater idea if this was explained, but it doesn't really fit the robot or pyramid theme incredibly well. The true final boss is likely a reference to something, but it's motivation was poorly explained, it manages to run away after it's beaten, and it led to your father''s death. Not a stellar way to tie everything together.

Minotaur demon HP: Phase 1: 16 Phase 2: 10 Phase 3: 31 Phase 4: 55

15:29 HE'S ROIDING OUT!

So the orange goombasare basically nicknamed everything

The beginning of the Sequiro boss music reminds me of the SNES TMNT theme

The sprites are a bit wonky, but god damn would those too be adorable in proper animation

Elephunk: *WOAOH*

Sequiro (balls die more than twice)

Needs a Remake

hey, theoretical question: if you were facing down the two and you had to choose one to fight in order to decide the fate of the known universe, would you fight a hivemind of six crocodiles or one tank with limited teleportation capabilities

So this is where Luigi Mansion 3 got its inspiration

I mean considering it's a puzzle game now, perhaps saying rulue-sama is correct?

Good morning ♪

Is the elephant related to Rolo or something, that's why it attacks you?

31:24 Very funny Lub lub, very funny

You seemed like an emotional otaku wanting to protect some fairy girls and feeling empowered to be a cute girl who faces monsters and with that sweetened ending xD, but it's okay, I'm also usually like that with games that I used to love as a child, this is a cool looking game, never ever played it but seems fun! Edit: oh, this game was made by Jaleco! They used to make really cute games. In fact, as a kid I was so in love with the fighters chicks in Avenging Spirit xD sheesh I take my word, the otaku clingy is really me! XDDDD

The whale has 20 hits. I counted.

Another Amiga game you can do a video about is Apidya

Orb boss is best boss

Doesn't the second half's boss music sound very Lode Runner-ish to anyone?

I love it

when you early enough it's in 360p

23:22 omfg its the tf2 mvm tank

We should have a remake with a better true final boss
