Dynamite Headdy (Genesis) All Bosses (No Damage) 

Oh I get it. Maruyama is the oposite of Dynamite Headdy. Istead of Maruyama changing his face (as Dynamite Headdy does) he changes his body. For some reason I'm blowned away

This game has both some of the most crystal clear voice samples I've ever heard in a Genesis game and some of the weirdest imagery and boss fights I've seen in a 16-bit game. It's an odd circumstance.

I love this game. Something odd happened to me years ago, and I'm gonna give some context. Hidden in the stages there are THINGS you usually do or Things you destroy that earns you Secret Points, and there's a voice that usually says "You got a secret bonus points" each time you do it. Killing this little guy there is a wat to do it. If he shows up, you KNOW that if you defeat him, you Will get a secret bonus, and sometimes he even shows up in the middle of boss fights. And then At the end of each level, there's a moment in which your score shows up in the screen, and there's a line which says "Secret Points: X/X", which would show how many of the secret points hidden in a stage you actually found and got, and how many you didn't find. It was kind of a side quest I always liked to do. Well, once I was playing this game and there's a boss of a stage called Wooden Dresser (the 3rd in the video), which is sort of a giant yellow robot who keeps assembling himself with parts of thematics things, and then you need to hit the parts he's wearing so you can then attack his heart. Well, if you waited long enough, or at least I thought so, he would eventually dress as this baby-thing I mentioned earlier, you would hit him, gain the Secret Point and then you could finish the level. Well, there was this one time I waited a LONG TIME just hitting the parts the boss was wearing, dodging the things the boss threw at me without actually hitting him so as not to accidentally finish the stage (I'm talking about at least 10 minutes doing this), when this special bonus point situation finally happened. I knocked the baby thing, got the secret point and when I was about to finish the level, the Wooden Dresser boss jumped out of the screen, like he usually did when he was about to wear something different, and then AGAIN showed up wearing the baby-thing! I was Shocked when this happened! I defeated him for good and in the score screen the game Actually showed the Bonus points like 9/8, which meant that I found "9 out of 8 hidden ones". I honestly never ever could manage to do that again, in the many Many times I played the game again, and I never found a single thing about it on internet, but I know for sure that it happened and that I'm not fabricating this memory just because it shocked me so much.

I dunno how but they managed to make Maruyama both completely innocent looking and totally menacing at equal levels

16:18 Genius way to end that boss fight.

Wish we could've seen Maruyama more. I think he had great potential as an major antagonist for the game.

almost every boss when they die: NOOOOO, THIS ISNT THE LAST YOU'LL SEE OF ME, ILL BE BACK dynamite headdy bosses: i c a n n o t b e l i e v e i t

7:20 ....ok for a little kids game, the imagery of a freaking cutesy doll rolling her eyes into the back of her head like that is horrifying....

This game had a lot of fun and inventive (and weird) boss fights. I guess the end boss though is the reason there's never been a sequel.

A truly underrated gem of a game, definitely needs a remake for modern consoles or PC.

“I cannot believe it”

God I loved these old games, their sounds were just so satisfying.

Ah, classic game. Fighting these bosses must have been terrifyingly hard for a no damage run.

Mitsuru was one of the most uncanny bosses for me. He gets older as you damage him.

This is one of my favorite all time games. Such great soundtrack, memorable original and creative bosses. Ah Treasure, truly one of your masterpieces. Also holy fuck the last boss is actually hard as shit, kuddos on that flawless execution.

16:54 That's a heck of a shield.

Your not human if you didn't take damage during the Twin Freaks fight...

now that i remember, the USA ver end really weird and without these dialogs you really dont undertand a lot of things

13:30 thank you Mario, but your princess is in another castle

This game was basically just a massive gauntlet of boss fights. I loved it.

8:05- 13:23. This boss music is epic. I love it!

Maruyama creeps me out... stop staring at me, you weird cat-bear thing!

Totally Underrated Game right here I love this game.

Man, I just can't get over how fucking awesome this game's bosses are. Backstage Battle is just too fun to watch (although, it's frustrating as hell to play and beat).

There's a lesson here, video game players. Money isn't everything. Fighting against a millionaire & two bodyguards and won the game: priceless. MasterCard commercial reference.

The Izayoi fight in the Japanese version is so good. I like the robot design in the English version but the Geisha design in the second phase of the fight is amazing.

4:10 - Marrio & Netton 5:10 - Jacqueline Dressy

14:48 so epic!

1:55 great music from the nutcracker suite

The Mega Drive (a.k.a. Genesis) is my favorite console ever. So iconic, so rad, with a powerful and groundbreaking hardware that allowed the developers to let their creativity flows just like they did with Dynamite Headdy right here! Game is so crazy and unique. So many Mega Drive games are.

I played the USA version, which didn't had dialogues. This explains some things. Also I remember that to beat Dark Demon flawlessly, you had to memorize the different head combinations you get just before the attack, because every attack had his own combination as telling, and one of the options was specifically made to counter his attack

Ah, I remember when I played this as a kid. Due to me being an idiotic kid back then, I had absolutely no idea how to beat the first freaking boss.

Good on you using the Translation version. I got a boxed reproduction with that rom in the cartridge. Got that actual Japanese one too.

I always loved how the bonus boss of this game were basically Treasure Inc.'s way of saying "WE DON'T DO SEQUELS DAMMIT! LET A STORY HAVE A GRACEFUL END!" And even so, cue all the other softhouses like Capcom, Konami, et al, milking long-running series with sequels and overstretching a plot as thin as possible until nobody could stand them anymore, and so on and so on for years to come until present day... Treasure knew better. Self-contained plots are good exactly as they are. Don't "TO BE CONTINUED" a story that already had a good End.

I cannot believe it...

Cuphead of the 90's

This would be the optimal combination: Translated Japanese story, American difficulty.

I like the japanese version more because of the design and dialogue.

It makes me so happy to see millions of people getting the opportunity, with official emulator releases, to play this little formerly unknown game that I loved as a kid

7:58 a 3D boss battle! 😱😱🤯

Damn this game is so underrated.. the bosses look kinda creepy and intimidating.. good design to keep players on their toes.. and that music and sprite art is beautiful 😙👌

No damage on dynamite headdy? I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

Woah that was amazing! The sheer prescision is mind boggling! Fantastic work, especialy on the two faced boss!

Aah,there it is!Absolute masterpiece!If you wanna see the absolute pinnacle of boss fights look no further than this game!We are talking about some of the most creative boss fights in gaming history: Spinderella-a boss that can change the player's view of headdy for a semi 3d effect(and the music is just...I have no words) Twin Freaks-a boss where you are constantly flipping the screen upside down,and he changes his attitude and appearance according to the side of the screen. Baby Face-a boss that "ages" the more you damage it.Start as a baby,the goes to a young man,then to a middle aged man,and finally to an old man!Absolutely ingenious!And all phases have different attacks.The "old man" form dies "of old age" if you wait enough! They cannnot make bosses like this anymore!The more limits you have with the hardware the more creative it pushes you to be.And thus some truly ingenious things are born!This game is a definite proof of that!

6:18 That is your SOUL

Treasure is a pretty awesome company, having made all sorts of great, albeit very niche games, on the Genesis and N64.

In the USA version the first boss is unfairly hard, the blue orbs are 2x the size they are in the japan and they also make you take damage.

1:02 - 1:07 this part SLAPS

One of the boss fights is literally a robot baby going through stages of his life from a baby, to a boy, to a man, and finally an elder

This is a original game!

Similey hops onto Headdy's face. Headdy: MY EYES!

This is one of my favorite games of all time. I always loved the colors, the playability, the stages, bosses and creative enemies we had to face. I played this game so many times, a whole lot of times indeed, but I could never finish it. In reality, I could never manage to get pass the Gate Keeper in his "berserk" form. I simply could not manage to beat it, because his attacks were too fast and had a ridiculously high range. It was just too difficult for me at the time. However, one day I was playing with a friend and managed to get to this boss, but I had already lost basically all my lives, and I was really tired as well. But since this was Actually my last opportunity without getting a game over, I put all my heart into fighting him. The problem was that I could barely hit that boss. It would always defend my attacks, I would instead hit Heather instead, it would start jumping and moving his wipy-like arms really quickly around him like crazy (and the hitbox of those arms Always managed to hit me no matter how much I tried to dodge)... But on this one time in particular, when it stopped spinning his arms, it aimed for a single shot at me in a corner of the screen and I jumped to dodge. What happened was that his arm went below the screen, and for my OUT OF THE BLUE SURPRISE its hand simply catch Headache (I think that's his name), that Headdy's friend that generates the power-ups. It was REALLY WEIRD seeing him there in the middle of the fight all of a sudden, just being grabbed by the boss like that from outside the screen. But the thing was, one of the power-ups he was switching between was that bomb which Headdy "plants" on the field, and has to wait a LOT OF TIME for it to blow basically half the enemies in the screen. I managed to hit Exactly that power up, threw the bomb, ran througout the screen for what seemed like an eternity really injured trying to avoid being hit, and Just when the Berserk Gate Keeper opened his hands to throw fire on the ground and became vulnerable, the bomb exploded and he actually died instantly. I CANNOT DESCRIBE MY EMOTIONS WHEN THAT HAPPENED. In that moment I was so in shock that I didn't even try to get all those things that explode from the bosses so you can "YOU GOT ANOTHER TRY!" I just stood screaming in shock. I honestly started to think that this was actually the Required way to beat the boss, since I could never manage no beat him anyway else (years later I would prove myself wrong, of course). After that I could for the first time advance on the game, and had many other moments full of emotion and adrenaline. I just will never forget that moment of despair, hope and, well, Dumb Luck that me and my friend experienced while we beat that boss for the first time. That honestly never happened again in the many, many times I played this game, and it remains in my memories as one of those moments in which something that really should not be happening at the point Happened, and I could use it for a win.

I rented this game back then thinking I can finish it in one weekend.Was I wrong.Mad props to you.I love Treasure.

One of the quirkiest 16-bit games ever. And one of the few that plays just as great as it looks. I miss Treasure so much.

This Dynamite Headdy video is the first video to get a million views and beyond! Amazing job! >ω

7:15 nightmare material

Treasure games are on a another level of quality . 👌

Imagine fighting these bosses, As Sonic and tails. (With the insta sheild of course) for example, in the third boss, You would have to spin dash along the arm to hit the head, and in the boss at 11:42 you’d be fighting like in the marble garden act 2 boss or you would be fighting in the tornado

You might as well have just played through the entire game on camera, that's how many bosses there are.

I remember this game costing $75 at Toys R Us back in ‘94

The music is actually pretty catchy!

2:34 'i cannot believe this'

10:55 This gonna give me nightmares.

I had been looking for this game for months and months and finally found it when I saw the game on the App Store

I had dreams with this game. My first dream was me and that giant dog

19:18 Dark Demon

That doll's eyes tho...!

One of my favorite Sega games. Very clever, great music/ effects, challenging..ahead of it's time. Wish they made a sequel/ remaster of some sorts.

I miss my Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection. That game introduce me to the game. And holy shit it have dialogue? I should play this version of the game as story wise I did not know what the fuck is going on.

YES! I FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THIS GAME! I knew it when i was a kid, but i forgot the name of this.

Now all you have to do is get all the secret bonus points...I've heard that it has been done, but apparently nothing special happens.

I was looking for this video everywhere

I had this game as a kid. Was awesome! That music :) very underestimated game.

7:17 reminded me of Luud from Dragonball GT Transformation.

shadowzerg I been wanting one of these vids for a long time

God I love Spinderella and Baby Face's theme, with Izayoi's theme a very close second.

I played this game as a kid but never finished it. Now that I have it in the Sega Genesis collection with an actual save system, I might finally see the end...

One of my favorite games for the Genesis

I find it funny that Smiley BRANDED some of the bosses. Like they just have their logo on their minions. Also Maruyama is way better in the japanese version, in the japanese version he has a team rocket/doofinshmirtz vibe going on for him while still being able to be a threatening nemesis meanwhile in the american version he's just a generic edgy bounty hunter who doesn't even have the bad-ahzery to back it up.

I love how the "most replayed" is where the Nasty Gatekeeper/Izayoi is. A testament to how BS that boss is

2:50 Maruyama:Helo betch

17:37 i hate this boss

I remember this game on the ultimate genesis collection on ps3 and this was one of the game I played a lot

good job with this. i'm doing the western version of this

You know a game is hard when the boss music is saying the boss's name.

This is like if rayman had an awkward cousin or something

The secret bonus boss is the reason that this game never gets a sequel

i remember watching rhis guy, i’ve been trying to find this video for years. thank you life, nostalgia fun

I never heard of Dynamite Headdy until I saw this video.

why is this in my recommended i didnt even know the game exists until now

thanks for making

Grabby Boi Trouble Bruin, I love the concept of a boss that makes the player move around, weather you want to or not.

I loved Maruyama’s boss theme

This was a very very hard game to beat.excellent game 9/10

Amazing that this is gonna be brought back in the Sega Genesis Online service on Nintendo Switch ✨

The perfect sync dosent exis- 16:58

Pause at 6:06... YOU CAN SEE THE BOSS DAB
