ATTN: Golden & Legendary Heroes!

I was Originally gonna say Bowser. But since he was said twice. I'm gonna have to go with the Darkest Lord from Miitopia. He requires all 10 members of your Party

Electrico

Thanks for the pronunciation guide. I wouldn't stumbled over that one.

TJ

Also I forgot to mention, the *only* reason that Dark matter lost was because of literal Plot Armor (the Harmony Scarves)

APN

Well, I was gonna say Maruki but you beat me to the punch haha

Gryff

For true final bosses, the answer is Xemnas (pronounced Zem-nuss) from Kingdom Hearts 2. His battle starts with you slashing through buildings thrown at you, and ends with Sora and Riku deflecting thousands of lasers with their keyblades; it's awesome. If we're talking just challenging bosses towards the end - superbosses - Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolute masterpiece. A powerful devil who uses the foes he's defeated as batteries to increase his power, singing his own boss theme? It's peak.

Gryff

"In-game purchases" That is too good!! 🤣🤣

SuperSonicR8cer

Not because he tried to take over Dreamland with the Master Crown, but because of the In-Game Purchases in Super Kirby Clash. Nothing is more evil than in-game purchases.

Splash Of Color

Fun little honorable mentions to Dimentio from Super Paper Mario & Rafisol from Puyo Puyo Chronicle. ^^

SuperSonicR8cer

Had to think quite a bit about this. My favorite has to be Neo Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes. The fight with him as Metal Overlord is one of the first final bosses I've experienced.

SuperSonicR8cer

def either bowser or stern from advance wars

Eddie xd!

Then I'll pay respect to the FIRST end boss. The Red Dragon from Dungeons & Dragons on the PLATO computer from 1975.

Nick Korey

Persona 5 Royal’s Takuto Maruki. He just wants a reality where everyone is happy. His boss fight has 4 phases as well but it doesn’t drag on.

The Light

Small spoilers, but Magalor from Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

Splash Of Color

I don't want to say that one. Do you have a 2nd choice?

TJ

Nope.

TJ

For Context Mario’s Madness is a mod For Friday Night Funkin.

Volting Master

It's a loose interpretation.

TJ

No, not at all.

Volting Master

ultra m from marios madness

midori_notori

Nick Korey

For me no other baddie breaks the mold quite like Hades From Kid Icarus Uprising who makes quite an entrance after tearing apart a fake end credits screen.

Volting Master

Just a clarifying question? Are you excluding hidden bosses like Bonetail from Thousand year door? Or post game bosses like the Pikmin 2 boss? Just bosses right b4 the credits roll?

Cody Stork

Stick with me but I feel like it goes to Dark Matter from Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Not from Kirby. Pokemon. He's a Centuries Old being that can't be killed, since he's powered by Negativity. During SMD, he is able to turn God's (Legendary Pokemon) into stone with little effort. He also nearly caused the earth to enter the sun. His boss fight has 3 Phases.

APN

Zomboss. No doubt.

Madifal

For me it is none other than Dad of the Year, Bowser

Fiona MacLean

The big bad dad himself BOWSER! 🐢🐲🔥
