Favorate/Least Favorate Boss Battle
 

Ever since the first TMNT game hit the arcade,To Battle Nexus there have been many boss battles.Here's a thread to discuss your favorates and least favorates.I've had so many favorates it's hard to pick just one.But as the least favorate,I would have to say Super Shredder from Turtles In Time.After playing that whole game and defeating some challenging bosses like Slash,BeBop and Rock Steady,and Krang ll(from Starbase) I was expecting a much more challenging battle.He repeats the same few moves over and over and he uses a simple pattern.They could have made it better.

Play Ninja Turtles 3 nes against Super Shredder you lose tons of lives against.

the most boring boss fights have to be TMNT 1 for gameboy: Fall of the Foot Clan. The bosses are so easy, you can literally close your eyes and beat them. Although I do love that game.

The best boss fight ( I haven't played the new games) for me is probably Super Shredder in Turtles in Time / Hyperstone Heist.

My fav boss's are Leatherhead,Bebop and Rocksteady,and Super Shredder all from TMNT4 Turtles In Time.

My least favourite is probely any from TMNT III Radical Rescue on the Gameboy.

They were so hard.


As for my favourite.

It has to be from the Original TMNT Arcade game. where you fight Bebop & Rocksteady at the same time.

Favorites are almost all in TMNT 3 for the NES. A lot of dramatic flare in those bosses. Specifically Tokka (that punch of his which slammed you intot he electric billboard = tight) and Super Shredder (just looked damn cool).

I hated the Shredder battle at the end of the TMNT 2 game for the NES. He looked awesome, but crap, ONE zap from that Retro-Mutagen Ray and you're dead? Sheeeeit, yo.

Seriously. He's probably one of the hardest bosses in the TMNT videogames, IMO.

My favorite bosses has to be Tokka and Rahzar from Turtles in Time. They had the coolest powers (fire and ice) and the first time I saw Rahzar use Tokka as a skateboard of death, I freaked out. Oh, and I always thought it was cool that they would de-mutate after you beat them, and hitting the wolf Rahzar would cause him to bark. :evilgrin:

Baxter in his machine wasnt in TMNT 2 : The Arcade game.
He was a fly, and in place of bebop and rocksteady in the parking lot.

Ah you mean the PC Version of the arcade game.

Not the NES or the Arcade version.

I played my copy recently on the NES. Baxter does show up at the end of the sewer level in his flying machine and in the parking lot as a fly. Bebop and Rocksteady never appear together either...Rocksteady is before April is kidnapped and Bebop is before you go into the sewers

I like Bebop and Rocksteady in Turtles in Time. The way they can get their whip and sword caught up and the silly expressions they have. Or that Super Krang fight...just because when it started I was thinking 'Why has a really small flying Krang come to...? Oh right, he was in the background!'

The first of the newer turtles games has mostly lame boss fights. Mainly infuriating...

I hate the boss battle against Slash in TMNT 4. He is the only boss who I cant beat without getting hit or dieing atleast once. I was so happy this one time when my friend and me some how glitched the game and we beat every health bar down to zero. My friend got on one side of him and I was already on the other beating him and when he got up to move my friend smacked him down again and we wasted him! It was so cool
My favorite boss battle is was against Leatherhead in TMNT 4. Not because he was fun to fight but because he is Leatherhead and there hasnt been a boss fight in a turtles game that was really anything more then beat that guy up and dodge his attacks

Yes, its only the original arcade version where you right bebop and rocksteady together in the parking lot. My favourite boss fight.

dont you mean Battle Nexus?

Oh that, its not an official game, it was made in M.U.G.E.N obvoisly somone is trying to pass it off as original.

Oh and Karai is in the Snes verison.

Whats with getting all defensive?

I mearly stated that it wasnt an official Konami liscensed game and was made using M.U.G.E.N.

You can still like it, its just not official.
I mearly stated it just to stop any confusion, and I too was intrigued since I own every TMNT Game, first I had heard of it.

Well, I have many different "favorite" boss fights, depending on what aspect of the confrontation was done well in each respective battle...

The coolest, most creative boss fight has to be the one against....SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED BATTLE NEXUS

Spoiler:

Karai is ultra hard unless you get some friends to join in and help you out. Hun with the two Foot Techs is also damn tough if you are fighting by yourself.

And four players versus Shredder always makes for a memorable experience, no matter what game you are playing :).

My favourite boss fight of all time is with Krang in his android body in the arcades, in the last level. The music goes great with it, which was taken from the cartoon. Krang's android raises his fists in the air, using electric rays of some kind. I thought that was all cool because it shows Krang for what he is, a meglomaniac!

Cool bosses in the first PS2 game, you know the ninja that represent fire water, metal etc.

Ah, nostalgia... My personal fave boss was Super Shredder from the NES version of Turtles in Time. The original arcade version had Shredder with a lightsaber-esque sword. The SNES's final boss was quite an improvement. In the arcade game, Shredder was supposed to be a normal human, and the turtles came up to his waist? Has Shredder been taking his vitamins, or did the turtles shrink when they came out of that time vortex? Kinda unrealistic in terms of size. Going up against a mutated Shredder in the SNES version made a bit more sense; he'd be expected to be huge. Plus the cool new powers of fire, ice, and anti-mutagen were pretty cool. Though the anti-mutagen was tough, seeing as it took away a full life, the results were kinda funny-looking, seeing a small, ordinary turtle freaking out like that.

As far as my least fave, ooh boy... I'd hafta say Oroku Saki in the first GameCube turtle game. Holy crap, he was fast! I mean, it was almost impossible to beat him! Yeesh!

And just for the record, I'd like to say that I liked the most of the bosses in the SNES version of Turtles in Time better than those in the Arcade version. I mean, how could the Arcade not have Rocksteady and Bebop, but still put in that "Cement Man" guy? It made more sense that the SNES version added such classic foes as Slash, the Rat King, "Roadkill Rodney" (That's what the manual calls those electric whip-toting, lazer-shooting, one-wheeled creeps made famous in the cartoon for kidnapping the rhino and warthog used to mutate Rocksteady and Bebop. Wow, that was a long sentence...), and others. Between those classic baddies, plus a super-powered Tokka/Rahzar (In the SNES version, Tokka and Rahzar have ice and fire breath, respectively. Plus Rahzar can ride around on Tokka's shell!) and Super Shredder, the SNES game is an homage to both the cartoon and movie worlds of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

My favorite Boss Battle in TMNT 2:
Shredder
Least favorite Boss Battle in TMNT 2:Bebop

my fav and least fav
 

my favorite battles were slash in turtles in time and evil turtle bot on tmnt now for least favorites.Battle nexus is a bad game but i bought it that game has boring bosses like slahur and the footmech splinter

The best boss I ever fought has to be Shredder from the original arcade game. At the time that the game was released, that sort of boss fight was unprecedented, and very cool. The way Shredder used his ninja skills and moved so fast to trick the turtles and make them think there was more than one of him was very cool, and made him quite challenging to fight.

He also used a katana sword like Leonardo's swords which I thought was appropriate since in the original cartoon series Shredder does, in fact, brandish the same katana sword when he faces Splinter 1 on 1 for the first time in the Technodrome.

I also thought it was cool how you could knock Shredder's helmet off to reveal his face, thus also revealing which of Shredder's images was the real one.

Last but not least, the main thing that made this boss fight so intimidating was the fact that Shredder had a technique that would kill the turtles in one attack.

His reverse-mutation laser gun would transform any turtle in it's path back into a regular baby turtle, thus making the player lose one whole life, and had to pop in another quarter. This manuever basically invented the term "coin-killer" which is what a lot of the regulars at arcades back in the mid 80s to mid 90s would use to describe certain popular arcade machines or a character in an arcade game that has a very cheap move that makes the player die quickly and unfairly, thus killing their coin supply quickly and making them spend more money.

Arcade company executives would tell the programmers to make certain games or bosses extremely difficult on purpose; this was a money-making strategy. They would make the arcade games very challenging, but also very fun, so the kids would keep pumping quarters into the game.

Several "beat-em-up" arcade games were made by Konami (The Simpsons, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and each of them would use very popular comic book characters or TV characters in their games back in the 80s and 90s to lure little kids to spend their parents' money on them. These types of games were originally the ones called "coin-killers" or "money-makers."

These games' calibur of difficulty matched their calibur of quality, which meant that these games had state-of-the-art graphics for their time-period, yet they were purposely programmed to be extremely difficult so that the kids pumping in the quarters would drool over how the game looked, and how their favorite characters were in the games, and completely disregard their little zombie hand which keeps mindlessly slamming quarters into the machine.

Fortunately the popularity of arcade games has waned over the last several years, and those corporate bastards don't get away with this as easily as they used to.

super shredder and krang with body in tmnt in time on snes

Yep, the classics........

i also like when you fight with rhazar and tokka in technodrome and after you beat them its time to give shredhead some ninja butt kicking action.

and slash i still whish they would put maybe armaggon in the game as a boss but the game was realesed in 91 and i dont think armaggon showed up in the archies tmnt before in late 92 or early 93, but i know he has been in an old tmnt game.

Yeah he was in TMNT: Tournament Fighters. ;)

oh yeah thanks tournament fighters did see a picture of leonardo fighting armaggon on one of those games.
i still hope they would make some kind of game in the future like the old tournament fighter with the greatest villains of tmnt from archies and the old tmnt show.

Best boss fight:Usagi(battle nexus)cause he is super fast,deflects shurikens easy,just plain cool......
Worst boss fight:Karai(tournament fighters)took me some time to beat,fast and flying,100 punches in air........killer lady!
no easy thing this.....so many great boss moments......lets just say,when it comes to turtles fighting,NOTHING beats tmnt tournament fighters!

My favorite boss from TMNT: Battle Nexus.
Leatherhead, Traximus, and the Ultimate Ninja
My least favorite.
Karai because she a pain in the @$$.
Slashuur. He was a pain with that sickle.
and the Elite, there also a pain!
Even when they make copys of themsleves

love the music and the fight on level one with baxter stockman.
dont like the fight with metalhead, not that he is so though to take out, but he is just boring to fight against.
