Donkey Kong Country 2 already had some perfectly memorable boss fights. But the third game’s penchant for gimmicks meant the bosses tended to vary even more in their mechanics, from a snowball fight with a nightmarish snowman to feeding bugs to a giant sentient barrel until he burps himself off the stage. Frankly, I found…

Ranking the Bosses from Donkey Kong Country 2
When you really think about it, the original Donkey Kong Country was fairly basic, especially when the bosses were concerned. I mean, there are two battles against a giant beaver that basically just jumps back and forth across the stage and two more skirmishes against an oversized vulture that somehow spits nuts at you. (Considering…
Hard Bosses vs Bad Bosses
With notoriously hard games such as Elden Ring or other soulsbornes, there are plenty of bosses that are infamous for being unfair or just straight-up bad.

For the most part, they’re happy or endearing events like Sora and Kairi’s heart to heart talk in the secret waterway. However, there are…
Gaming Humiliation: Constructor X in “Bomberman Generation”
Look at me, the master of creating bizarre series, has done it again. I have started another series, with this one’s purpose being to share with you all sections of games that range from really quite bad to very rather embarrassing. And back again. And a fitting beginning is one boss I have found particularly…
The Inanities of Video Game Bosses (Created by Square, I Mean)
Some time ago, I replayed “Kingdom Hearts”, a game I had gone through two times prior, and yet, for some reason, this was the first time that something struck me. Video game bosses are weird. Not just the concept (why are they even called “bosses” to begin with?), but…you know what, have you ever beaten…
