Bosses

[Ekoi]

So if the game had 32 characters, we'd have 32 bosses. I could probably come up with a good list.

No.

For the Mario Stage, who would be the boss since Bowser is playable?

Smithy.

I demand it.

YES!

Exor is also a good option.

[tsr moderation staff]

i'd prefer smithy, more variety

[Ton]

Not really. With Exor you could have the four targets from SMRPG. You'd have to take out the eyes before you can hit the handle. Smithy also did an attack list in the stages topic.

[TomGuycott]

Exor is pretty much the poster villain of SMRPG. He's pretty much on the box, and he pretty much represents Smithy's Gang attacking Bowser's castle, AND you don't have to get to the end of the game to see him; he's actually the FIRST of the gang that you see. I also had a harder time against him than I did against Smithy for some reason (something to do with underleveling, I wasn't the only one playing that file at the time xD).

That's not to say that Smithy isn't awesome, with his potential for attacks, his multiple forms, his Santa beard. But what sounds cooler: Fighting a robot Santa, or fighting a sword taller than a castle? You decide. Because I'm indecisive. xD

[Angelglory]

Personally, the Robot Santa sounds more entertaining. But that's just me...

[D2S-Speed]

For the Megaman series maybe Wily's machine from Megaman 9 or Bass or Protoman?

For Sonic series Eggman, or (Clueless here)

also should we bring back Giga Bowser because he was in Melee's Adventure mode?

also should we bring back Giga Bowser because he was in Melee's Adventure mode?

This would be awesome. It might conflict a bit with the invincible FS Giga Bowser, but the other games have never really had a problem with putting characters against themselves.

Seeing as I loooove bosses, and I've put thought into such a list in the past (since I'm such a dork xP), here is my preferred list of potential boss characters. Granted, the list will be big, and I don't intend for the list to be the number of bosses that would be included, I just like to include multiple possibilities in case the first doesn't float one's boat.

Mario Series (Standard): Dino Piranha, Tatanga, Koopa Kids (Multi boss, as a secret/difficult battle)
Mario Series (RPG): Exor, Smithy, Axem Rangers (Multi boss, secret/difficult), Cackaletta
Donkey Kong: Khaos, some form of Necky variation, King or Queen Bee boss (Not much to choose from with K. Rool in the roster xD)
Link: Majora's Mask, Zant or Vaati or Agahnim (Or all three at once? BAM!), Volvagia, Aquamentus, King Dodongo
Pokemon: Almost any Legendary would qualify in my book, but tops are Arceus, Darkrai, or maybe even a Gym Leader using REGULAR pokemon.
Metroid: Kraid, Mother Brain (Dino version from Super Metroid), Dark Samus?, Metroid Prime
Kirby: Dark Matter or Zero in almost any incarnation (Zero and ZeroTwo are my faves), The Nightmare, Marx, Kracko
Star Fox: Andross, Pigma (Regular and then monster?)
Earthbound: Giygas (Devil's Machine and true form), Yokuba, Natural Killer Cyborg
Fire Emblem: Black Knight?, Shadow Dragon? (Sorry, I'm not well versed in FE bosses aside from the first english release and those two bosses there)
Kid Icarus: Medusa
Pikmin: Emperor Bulbax (Is that the name? I've never even seen this guy though xD)
Metal Gear: REX, RAY
Sonic: Eggman (There's a lot to choose from, you could even just make up a NEW machine), Chaos, Metal Sonic? (Lots of incarnations there too)
Megaman: Dr Wily (No question, but like with Eggman, lots to choose from. Remember that some Wily Machines are based on robots from Japanese popular culture, or so I've been told by a friend even dorkier than I am. Keep that in mind, maybe it would sway a decision for or against a boss design)
Mischief Makers: Migen Sr and Jr, The Beastector's final robot

Those are just food for thought. Probably half of the series even listed could have a SINGLE boss and it would still be satisfying. I could make each list of bosses about ten names longer, but these are bosses I thought would make more sense to have, seeing as people would actually KNOW them.. maybe. Anyone I left out is because my knowledge is too low, or they don't have great boss material.

You could always get creative though.. maybe ROB's boss could be a giant power glove worn by Master Hand, and Crazy Hand could hold the Nintendo Zapper. Who knows.

[Ton]

Not everyone needs a boss. Thinking one up for ROB seems counterproductive.
I think Petey could be brought back as the Mario boss.

[TomGuycott]

Well like I said, even if half of the series that I listed just had one boss representing them, there'd still be a LARGE amount of bosses to fight.

Also I could totally dig Petey, but perhaps he could have a different set of moves other than swinging cages and jumping?

[Ton]

Definitely.

[Ekoi]

I do like the idea of bringing in a boss for both the Sonic and Metal Gear series.

I'm torn between Eggman(with some sort of new machine) and Perfect Chaos, though.

[Ton]

Since Robotnik isn't playable, I think he's kind of the natural choice.

[Ravecat]

King Bob-Omb needs more glory.
