My favourite bosses are:
  • R1: Skops, no doubt.
  • R2: The Grolgoth, "Let's see how well you swim in molten lava!"
  • R3: Razoff (first part), if he counts as one. Otherwise it's probably the first encounter with Reflux as well.
I liked chasing Razoff through that house. Atmosphere and music were pretty good in that level.
My favourite of everything is probably Skops again. The tension in that fight is VERY high (with him raising the lava and all).

It took me quite long to figure out you can't actually hurt him in the beginning, but have to wait until he moves backwards so you can follow him to his final lair. I probably wasted about 20 lives and 2 continues on that - though I didn't save so technically nothing was lost. That's the only aspect that made me dislike the battle.

I died a lot of times during the first stage of the Skops fight, punching Skops to wake him up however, made it worthwhile.

No, but that's what he said. Punching him made it fun.

Mr Dark because he is a charismatic boss and i knew that when i beat that boss, i would end one of the most hard games of all time. And years ago, i finished the game :)

And ended with the most anti-climactic ending ever, I seriously think we should have been given more for getting to the end of hell.

In fact, the end was too short. But I loved seeing him because it symbolized that i finished a hard game at the time

A forma como termina o R1 para GBC é muito diferente da versão das consolas grandes.

Well, it's not intended for you to read so why would you want to? There's probably no secrets being discussed there anyway - just easier or more fun for them to communicate with each other in their own language.

If you wish I guess... but since it's only between the two of them, it's not really community-wide, so it's not that much of a problem than if we would all start speaking Dutch to each other all the time.

No cóż, w tkim razie szykujcie się na dowcipy na temat Tuska w najmniej pasujących tematach na świecie.

Seriously, using foreign languages on English forums is OK in some cases (i.e. wordplays, translation problems), but usually it's just like "WE KINDA SPEAK ENGLISH, BUT THIS IS DUTCH COMMUNITY YOU KNOW BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RUSSIAN PIRATES".

Yeah, that's what I would have thought, but I was kind of justifying what Haruka is doing for some reason... though I should probably let her do that (or appologise) herself.
But wait, what? Russian Pirates? :P

I don't see the problem of speaking portuguese, it isn't everyday I do that, especially knowing that there are very few lusitans around here.

I would have originally gone with a R1 boss but because of the different stages you have to go through when fighting Reflux he is on the top of my list! :D
