Boss Analysis # 55 

I instantly agreed and understood when I saw the conveyor belt alone

This boss is the reason of why games always have to be playtested

It's amazing how something that feels like it would be a minor change on paper can turn an otherwise easy final boss fight into the player's worst nightmare.

I love how you can almost see pity in Biomeka’s eye as he watches you suffer.

Iconically, when Shion dies, he has to go now, his planet needs him. *SHION DIED ON THE WAY BACK TO HIS HOME PLANET*

Never a good sign, when a fringe character of the game has to make it's final boss beatable for you.

And after all that unfair difficulty spike it put the player through, it even has the audacity to laugh and wink at the player after the credits roll when it escapes. What a troll.

If the turrets weren't so sporadic it could have been a fun fight, dodging everything and basically dancing around the screen to win

To be honest, I'd be completely fine with tossing my face against a boss this awkward until I get something working... if dying to it allowed you to retry immediately, like in most Ys games. Having that much walking in-between attempts is just aggravating.

I remember this boss. Even though it looks bloody hard, I always wanted to play it just to see how bad that final boss is for myself

Git hated Biomeka so much he made a second video all for him.

Biomeka is what Mother Brain wanted to be

can't wait for the "worst bosses ever" series

First phase: that actually looks kinda cool! What could be so bad- Floor starts moving and sawblade appears: ah, that's why. Second turret appears: goodness gracious

The people who added the bladesaw and conveyor belts should be put in a special hell of bladesaws and conveyor belts

I remember being stuck on Mars's boss fight for quite a while, but with all the mines, Photon Missiles, bullet barrages, and homing bullets he shoots out, at least he didn't need the conveyor belt and saw combo!

And I thought phase 2 of Hades's final boss was rude for showing up when I thought I won! At least HE has tells. And no conveyor belts.

Japaneses: Why Make Hard Games? We can make Fun Games! Americans: Fun Games? Are you Crazy?!?! We Need to make the Hardest as Possible for the Kid takes Several Days to Beat the Game! Because there's nothing Better to see a Little Kid Suffer! And Don't even Think to Make Cute Characters!!

Three simple ways to win against this boss 1. Turn off the game 2. Get the jpn version 3. Spam the attack button near while jumping like a mad man with precision, using thunder spell sparely while trying to get lucky that the conveyor belt has mercy on you and doesn't have you flying into the boss hit box or onto the saw

I was just playing this on my genesis last night, what a coincidence! Here's some of my tips for the jerk: 1. Use the return spell if you don't think you can win, it also saves you the walk back after the refights 2. Have all hearts and the best potion so you can tank hits better 3. Use the power spell 24/7, so you can kill him before he kills you 4. Try not to get stuck in the corner, better to crash into him than to get stuck at the other wall

"hears bells" "sweats" "hears Jeljel" "Sweats" "hears Meteo" "SWEATS"

I bet this would get so many more views if it were called "Boss Analysis #55 - Bosses I Really Hate." That said, I guessed what it would be as soon as I saw the boss in the thumbnail, so what does that say about me?

*Warning: This video contains TWO SMOL Dark princes of the underworld!!!*

Using the Despair Mix of "Let Us Sing of a Hollow Victory" was an unbelievably clever creative choice for this video. Props to you for such fitting music choice. Especially since, seeing as Biomeka escapes at the end, it ltierally is a hollow victory. And I dont think the despair part needs explanation.

Wow. I just played this game for the first time on my Sega Genesis Mini last month and all I can say is thank goodness for that save state feature they have on that thing. I beat this game without a walkthrough (cuz if I was a kid I probably wouldn't have one) and this boss fight can go burn in a fire. Not only was he insanely frustrating to beat (took me like 16 tries if I remember correctly) but everything about this fight just left me feeling like I could never play this game again. Not being able to do anything at first against him was annoying but I could live with that. The prince showing up to mock you and then destroying a laser cannon WITH A SHOULDER CHARGE seriously pissed me off. Then that second phase comes and I wanted to turn the game off and walk away but I powered through it somehow. Then after finally beating that bastard I still felt really unsatisfied about the whole thing and I as was watching the credits roll, thinking about how that last level and boss basically just ruined the game for me, he shows up and reveals that he somehow escaped, is perfectly fine and laughing at me!! Sorry about the wall of text but this whole fight is still fresh in my mind and I don't think I can ever play this game again after how badly the last leg of the journey was handled. You are completely right, this fight absolutely ruins an otherwise great game. They should've just kept the demon boss with the three heads (the one the prince was turned into) as the final boss and the game would've been fine.

One of my favorite genesis games...and this boss is a major pain. If you want a real challenge try beating him with just 3 hearts. I made it a point to only use 3 hearts in a run and it literally took me 2 days worth of trying to actually beat him. But it was oh so satisfying. I'm very curious about what the prince of the dark world says in the Japanese version, it doesn't seem like he's mocking you considering you helped him out earlier.

This is what i call the Ursula syndrome. When the challenge is not the boss itself but some annoying thing that is on your back all the time and you have to deal with ALONGSIDE the boss. And specially when said annoying thing worsens when the boss hp lowers.

1:16 Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony

That conveyor belt and saw were thrown in without taking Shion's stiff controls in consideration. Why did westerners always get the short end of the stick when it comes to games? (except Power Blade)

The bosses I hate the most are Hibachi from Dodonpachi Resurrection (even the most brutal bullet hell bosses I've fought tend to not cover bullets with more bullets in a way that causes sensory overload or gain invincibility frames every time YOU die) and Overlord Furfur from Labyrinth of Refrain (You can't damage her until she deliberately reduces her elemental resistances every several turns, but she'll also start using some of the only instakill attacks in the entire game as well as fixed damage attacks. And if you lose to her, you'll have to play the waiting game again, despite the rest of the fight being based around killing her as fast as possible. Beating her is also mandatory if you're aiming for the true ending).

If I were to have designed this game, I'd introduce the conveyor belt, the second laser turret, and the sawblade separately (So this boss would have 4 phases, each with 8 hits, rather than 2 with 16 each), and have a much clearer indication of when and how the conveyor belt changes direction.

I almost got this game. Thanks for the warnings about the final boss. He is a deal breaker for me.

One day, I started to imagine git as an irate scottish woman and my enjoyment immediately skyrocketed

Great content as always! Thank you! I knew when I saw the Wonder Boy title screen it was going to be this career-ending boss. I still hate it and haven't beaten it.

They could have removed the turrets and kept the saw + conveyor, and it honestly probably still would have been a fight.

Dude, that looked excruciating! Man, that was a good video, that pain was worth it

I am glad someone else understands the nightmare of Biomeka. Thank you.

Youre literally my most favorite channel ever

I love this game, so many memories

more boss analysis? JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!!!

I'd personally put Jingu or Munakata from Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 4 up there as bosses I REALLY HATE. Would be awesome to get your personal input on who you'd consider to be worse.

I love Biomeka's wacky boss music xD I liked it when in old games they often took away the seriousness of a possible dangerous moment (level, boss...) by adding very slapstick music xD When I hear it I imagine a fight between cartoon characters attacking each other with anvils, frying pans, cannons, and every exaggerated and crazy weapon typical of cartoons that is possible, oh, and a lot of chaos, frenzy, explosions, things being destroyed, comical sound effects, etc. ha ha ha

A larger hitbox to hurt yourself with isn't *even* the last thing you want when a conveyor belt is messing with your movement.

Monster World IV Spoilers... ... I don't know what's worse, the fact that the Sequel (and therefore the conclusion) never left Japan for a long time, or the fact that Shion gets killed between the events of the two games...

I love WonderBoy 5/Monster World 3 from start to end with few nitpicks in between. BUT MAN THIS FINAL BOSS SUCKED ASS. It almost ruined the whole game for me

I loooove the Designs! 🖤

A boss you REALLY hate? Oh boy... Wait, a forced loss scene where you can actually get killed? That doesn't sound well-designed... which also applies to that second phase, wow, that one element makes it turn into a bad Mario Maker boss.

It would honestly be a fair fight if either A, removed the Conveyor Belt, or B, Remove the Saw Blade.

The music at 0:07 sounds like it could be a Dr Wily stage map theme in a Mega Man game

This may just be the most evil idea created by a human that didn't rhyme with "swill the booze".

There's hate, then there's loathe. Or omniloathe if you ask 8-bit theater. Thinking on bosses who are so annoying they ruin games I enjoy playing the rest of the time... The final boss of Metal Warriors comes to mind. The game is tough in general but you can adapt and learn to fight with any of the 6 mechs. Every other boss room provides you with at least one health restore. However, the final boss has FOUR phases, ZERO restores, and a spiked chain mace that hits hard and is impossible to predict. Even after you destroy the chain the ball continues rolling around on the floor while the boss deploys tons of new attacks like swarms of flying drones and rockets. Then you have to race the enemy leader out of the exploding base, and he's extremely quick. If he beats you to the exit, time to start the whole fight over!

Dame Dedtime is one of those bosses I feel like earned the not so coveted title of Bosses I Really Hate. I've complained about this boss so many times that I'll spare you the details and just say the 2 words that make this fight a living hell for me personally. LEVEL. STEAL.

Here is an interesting little bit: In Purapril castle town near the exit leading to the Forests of Lillipad, there is a hidden shop that sells magic charges at the cost of one Charmstone (500,000 Gold) after capping your health, you will get a heart container otherwise if you don't max it, you will find a Charmstone or two in the Pyramid allowing you to buy more Thunder Charges, you can also find more spell charges in the game's world in various locations, raising all your spell charges save your Escape spell to 12. There is a reason why the spell list looks so long in between the names. Also Biomeka DOES return in Monster World IV, it is Asha who puts that monstrosity down. Though he goes under a different name (Fear Incarnate in the fan translation), and there is a book in Rapadagna Castle that chronicles what happened to Shion after the events of Monster World 5. (Hole appears near Shion's home and he goes down to investigate, never to be seen again afterwards)

Amazin' Design though

A boss I hate? Winter Queen from Dragon Quest 5. The first boss in the game is basically a slap-fest, and he MIGHT cast Dazzle on you. Which won’t work because it’s Dazzle. Then suddenly the immediate next boss starts shooting off Cool Breath and Crackle like it ain’t shit

I was expecting a couple bosses to be covered. But it turns out this boss is so much of an asshole it required a nearly 20 minute video verbally eviscerating its terrible design.

Glad to see you're still grinding these bosses out!

In a sense the game or maybe just the boss suffers from Castlevania 3/Ninja Gaiden 3/Contra Hard Corps/Silhouette Mirage/Streets of Rage 3 syndrome. The guy from the channel I watched I think it was Same Name Different Game said that it was in part due to video game rentals outside of Japan since at the time and probably still today video game rentals was against the law in Japan which explained why Nintendo went after Block Buster even though it was not on Japan's soil so I am glad Nintendo lost but because of that the and many other companies chose to make games harder for those of the west. Take Streets of Rage 3 for instance. Episodes 1 and 2 of Creepy Bad Endings already explained the regional differences.

Someone linked me to your sturm video which I saw entirely. On a whim I decide to see if you're still making content--you just posted a video of a boss from my favorite sega genesis game. Subscribed.

The fact whoisthisgit has been uploading videos for over 10 fucking years and yet has less than 200K subscribers is criminal.

15:55 if it takes 4 hits to remove a segment of health, and there’s 30 segments, that’s 120 hits. not going to happen

I remember despising the final boss when I played this game... An utter nightmare

But Let's face it: you'll probably Enjoy more fighting this guy without damage and without using spells than playing Paper Mario Sticker Star normally.

The empty truth is that sometimes a hydraulic press can be worse than a conveyer belt, a saw blade, and two laser cannons. Nee-heehee...

what was that game with comic viking on the conveyor belts? that music sounded cool edit: also on a much more related note, this boss definitely suffers from "make it hard!" syndrome lmao

Wonderboy deserves more love! But yeah, American Biomeka is bullshit. Sure, first phase is a joke. You can stand still and jump whenever a turret spawns and perfect it. But when Biomeka whips out the fucking buzzsaw, he pisses me off! 9:30 Also, they are not in the damn final boss! My strategy is to do what you did in Phase 1, with few Power spells, and without wasting a single thunder. Then I can trade blows with the bastard. 16:07 At least, from the Let's Plays I saw, Asha faces a weaker version of him and kills him.

This video could not be any cornea XD

I’m about to check out this game for the first time. Wish me luck against biomeka.

Yep, this boss is total BS!

Well... that villain reappear in monster world iv/wonder boy 5 so i can't rembember if he is death completely or not so if you know that game,probably you can investigate the ending,another thing,there is a lovely remake of that game so try to play the sega genesis version and next the new remastered version of the pc.

Nicknames: every swear word in existence *Nice*

You didn't do a no damage run? tsk tsk : P Or better yet a no damage pacifist where you dont kill the turrets just the boss xD

Man i hate this fight so much. I thought the 1 row of hearts was the maximum amount when I played so I took on the final boss with just those. Thank God I had rewind be that fight SUUUUUCKS

This boss looks like something someone would make in a terrible Mario Maker level

Hey, ain’t that the Meteos loss theme? JelJel

I hated this boss so much if it wasn't for save states I would of lost

One day you'll find the way to destroy it easily

one day, you should do the ball bosses like the giant krusty balloon from the simpsons arcade or similar bosses

Oh yeah, I played this game long ago, I didn't know the difference between the versions, I just had the japanese version and it was easy, I'm happy I haven't met that fate. :p Nice seeing Wonderboy after all this time.

Missed ya buddy pal. Hope ya doing good :)

would you say there's no shame in using save states for this boss?

Idea for Boss Analysis; The Final Weapon from Sonic 3D Blast! I watched a video of the fight and it looked quite tedious.

Have you ever played the arcade game Darius? I would love to see your analysis of Fatty Glutton.

wayyyyy too much effort for a boss fight lol

Could've been worse: what if he was the penultimate boss instead?

I too very hate

Can i recommend Super Spy Hunter (Battle Formula) Stage 5 from NES for Leave my eyes alone?

Jesus that final boss is just bad game design

Whats the song git used in this section? 10:45
