What's your favourite "head and hands" boss?
This goofy ass motherfucker.

Wolnir
Onga bonga.
Why is it such a popular boss design?
I know he doesn't have a head, but still.

It's a good way to add strategy without adding more mobs
the one with this theme.loved his reaction to a hand exploding and he was honestly pretty tough

Bongo Bongo a close second
>>334375871
Fun to design, fun to fight, and it's satisfying to beat a boss that feels so much bigger than your character.

I didn't even know about this boss untilwatching a Let's Play from last year. It was a great little surprise.
Defense System Geppetto from Nier

It's a giant enemy but not the kind that you can only hit in the ankles.
Donkey Kong Country Returns' final boss usually gets forgotten. I liked the fluid hand animation they used to telegraph all of the attacks
Flaxseed from Tales of Caspian 2

Ramrock from Oracle of Ages

Either the one you posted or Andross from star fox 64.
There was something extremely satisfying about feeling like a fly attacking a giant who could crush you with a few swipes.

>Wario is immortal the whole game
>Except against an evil clown
Jesus.
>>334376298
>Have crippling fear of clowns
>Rudy shows up out of fucking nowhere at the end of the game
>He's the only thing that can kill Wario
>Gives me a game over
>mfw
>>334376668
I wouldn't really consider him as one
desu Minish Cap is my favorite LoZ game
>when you shrink down and get to dig around inside his head to find his weak point
>>334376298
Which wario land is this from? 2?
Gamma is one of my favorite concepts in Mega Man, it's just a shame it's one of the easiest boss fights in the entire Mega Man franchise.
was pretty easy though
>>334376298
>only thing in the game that can fucking kill wario
>>334376687
DK94 is a fucking masterpiece.
>>334375871
because back in the 8bit era you couldn't have big sprites on screen so the trick was to put the body in a static background and use "big" sprites for the hands and the head (sometime).
>>334376380
I loved the naming convention for bosses in that game
>>334375591
That's racist.
>>334376379
From what I remember it doesnt even give a star so its understandable to have skipped him completely. I didn't discover him until much later on the N64
>>334376298
My child mind wasn't prepared for that. Truly a terrifying experience when you don't expect it
TURN AWAY, DISOBEY
>>334377003
Better Megaman giant boss right here.

The most true head and hands boss.
All you ever see is his head or hands attacking you from the top or sides. Never any other body part, just head and hands.
>>334375591
Pic related is probably the worst head and hands boss I've ever fought. The hitboxes were pure cancer, and he did nothing but throw homing AoE attacks.
>>334377486
Came to post this. Maybe it's just the fact S3&K was one of my first videogames but I think it's got some good bosses.
>>334375591
The Rockagong
>>334377426
No it gives you a star.
The reason people didn't get it was they were to shit to stand on the four pillars
>>334376298
I would have loved if instead of a shitty gimmicky tabletop game sm4sh just made random bossfights in arcade mode, with rudy being one of them
>>334375591
I dunno about the hands but your moms my favorite head ;)
>>334377486
>kids will never understand how hard it was to get here and be scared shitless of dying and having to restart the entire game
Jergingha
>>334377426
It does
>>334377492
Is this hard? I only just hit 60 and have i200. I don't wanna get yelled at for fucking up.
I liked his theme
>>334382460
Yee.
I like Bongo Bongo for that weird noise he makes.

FUCK YOU
honestly this is probably the worst head and hand-tentacles boss of all time
>>334382074
>tfw grew up playing the 3 & Knuckles version with saves
>>334375871
Stick a static image of a spooky guy in the background layer. Have a mirrored sprite of big hands, you won't need to do much animation. Boom. Done. Super easy giant boss.
This nigga was fucked up for the game he was in.
>>334382425
normal version's easy to learn and defeat. EX WILL give you some trouble though, definitely be geared for THAT.
Best Castlemania ever.
>>334385114
His intro always makes me crack up
my vote is for pic related, honorary mention Migen from Mischief Makers, hands and head bosses have never made it beyond being mediocre

Mine does not have a head but it somewhat counts right?
