I don't think he's in any other game either. But you never know! :mrgreen:

Nice! I used to play a little Castlevania myself. Til my parents threw away my freaking Super Nintendo!! :evil:

7) King Boo - Luigi's Mansion
6) Genisis - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7
5) Dark Bowser - Bowser's inside story
4) Shadow - Sonic adventure 2
3) Marcaline - Adventure Time- Hey Ice King! Why Did You Steal Our Garbage!

That's the one I always played! That one's my favorite!!

In no particular order (more pictures soon to come), my favorites are:

Mr. Skops - awesome music, and love the challenge of dangling from the ledge!

Mister Dark - need I say more?

Minotaur (God of War)- impalement is my favorite way to kill a person. Plus, when I first fought him, I didn't shad to fight him for an hour and a half before realizing I was getting NOWHERE! So when I finally.found out about the stake, I loved how stupid I felt for not seeing it earlier.

Trinnex (Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past)- that freaking three headed beast is badass! Plus, it took countless.hours for me to realize I was going around in circles fighting him. So when.I came up with a strategy to keep going to the cave outside, go back to the Light World, keep filling up on magic and returning, using the fire on the ice head and vice versa, I felt stupid but also was like "That was so obvious to do! How'd I not know to do that earlier?"

Cortex and Uka-Uka (Crash Bandicoot : Warped)- Dudes. It's a fight between the forces of GOOD and EVIL in which the whole universe pretty much hangs in the balance!! Plus you're fighting inside a collapsing time machine, so if Crash doesn't defeat stubborn Cortex soon, they could wind up being stick in some weird time-space continuum forever! Or worse: X-space!!!

Gigantosaurus (Dino Crisis 2)- What I love the sequel had that the prequel didn't is time limits in battles. I can't get enough of that realistic suspense that the prequel had SO many opportunities to take advantage of! Plus, you get to defeat the boss with a GIANT LASER FROM SPACE!!!!

Wesker (Resident Evil 5)- Yes, I love this game! Yes, I love this battle! I love in Resident Evil when the fate of the entire world rests in the hands of your victory, especially Chris's; much like in Code Veronica X (my fave RE game). And having to shoot Wesker while he chases you in ultimate monster form across molten lava just drives me nuts with suspense!

In the other RE games, because Wesker and Chris are my favorite characters, it bothers me that you don't get to fight Wesker; the MAIN VILLAIN OF THE SERIES! Even though I absolutely love the Wesker cutscenes in Code: Veronica X, you still don't get to fight him yourself, which sucks!

Dynamo (Mega Man X 5)- I don't know what it is about this fight I like so much. His personality? Nostalgia of Mega Man X? Dodging the projectiles and his combat tactics? Or the awesome music? Maybe it's the way it all just blends together.

SCP-096 (SCP Containment Breach)- Again, suspense. Suspense of not.being able to look at his face, suspense of his yells letting you know how close he's getting, suspense of knowing that no matter what you do, he WILL find you, he WILL kill you, and there's absolutely NOTHING you can do to escape him.

Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)- 4 stages. Three heroes. One antagonist. He's using Zelda as his own human puppet to fight you, he's a giant boar in which you must use Midna's giant hair hand to knock down then slash at his former sword wound, Zelda helps you chase him on horseback by shooting him with Light Arrows, and finally you're separated from your friends in an all-out boundary-pushing sword brawl! What's not to love?

And for fun:

Bzzit/Moskito- Pure Nostalgia!

King Neptune (GameBoy game of the Spongebob Squarepants Movie)- I know this is a childish game! I don't care! You defeat him with the freaking power of ROCK 'N ROLL! THAT'S FREAKING EPIC!!!!!

Tough one, I can't really think of a Top 10, but I'd say Majora's Mask's final boss ought to be one of the best out there. In fact, a lot of Zelda bosses are downright fantastic.

It's really hard for me to make an actual top 10, at least based on the game mechanics involved in the fights themselves, since I've played a lot of games where their boss fights are a major strong point and all of them are really fun (Kid Icarus: Uprising, for example - with the exception of the "Pit's Body" fight, all 20-odd bosses are really fun to fight), but I guess I'll base it around the character interactions involved or based on a really great atmosphere (also I'll keep it to one per series - I consider FFVII and FFXIII games part of their own individual series', so that's why there are two FF games):

-Final Battle against Hades (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
-X VS Zero (Mega Man X5 - particularly fighting Zero if you let him get taken over by the Zero Virus)
-Perfect Dark Gaia (Sonic Unleashed HD)
-Meowser (Super Mario 3D World)
-Magalor EX (Kirby's Return to Dream Land)
-SOLDIER's Army (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII)
-Caius Ballad (Final Fantasy XIII-2 - No fight in particular, the character was just really awesome and intimidating, and his theme is glorious)
-Tabuu (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
-Xion (Kingdom Hearts: 356/2 Days)
-Gaul (The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night)

ever fight Tabuu on intense mode? I've tried many, many, times and still haven't beaten him! Which is funny considering how he uses the same moves in all versions of the fight.
