Yeah, check the filename. I ain't going through an entire game for a screenshot.

Especially since I popped open the battle on Youtube and it's way worse than I remember. The player and boss have a ton of lengthy invincible actions and the result is so much standing around. Fuck, why weren't Sparkster's mechanics half as good as its character designs and atmosphere? Shoulda let Nakazato handle it

Yeah, enemies could have the same abilities as the main characters
And that means they'd have the durability and longevity of the main characters
Which means battles would end up being tediously long where equality between damage and healing leads to a stalemate until someone runs out of MP/items, and that's not fucking fun to play

This could actually be really fucking interesting if you balanced it right. Multiplayer-focused GBA RPGs tried it a lot. TCG RPGs, Medabots, to some extent Battle Network, etc. Though they tended to reset your HP and stats before every battle and that made progressive encounters pretty uninteresting.

Wiggler in Paper Jam was annoying for this very fucking reason.

Nigger did huge amounts of damage, had a ton of HP and every time his turn came around he could attack three fucking times. Not to mention you also had to kill Kamek who has being a little shit by staying in the background so the only way to hurt him was by dodging all of his attacks which causes wiggler to hurt him or when you KO Wiggler. If you don't kill Kamek quickly then he just fucking revives Wiggler with like ~580 HP.

Admittedly, I was pretty underleveled for the fight though.

While most bosses in the series by this point are well rounded enough to not be cheesed the only one that seems to be cheese-able was the goddamn Dracula himself.

At first glance he still have the same move set he had back in the NES days; teleport from left to right side of the room, shoot fireballs from him cape, rinse and repeat, very slowly. It was easy but due to his size compared to the character it was a bit annoying. Of course at this point one would think "Man this nigger is so slow with this shit I could probably just jump over him and attack him from his back."

If you ever try to double jump over him or do anything that would send you behind him, he will immediately shoot out a salvo of instant killing lasers.
