Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
I was mentioning Rapid Hero to a friend a bit ago, and this made me remember the ridiculousness of the mech-suit guy you keep fighting in it.
Dude whistles for backup, goes super saiyan, and gets revealed as a giant ninja that fights you in space.
So I thought, surely there must be some other bosses or even regular enemies that were just ridiculous to face.
Perhaps you can name some? Aside from the aforementioned Rapid Hero, I always found the original Hibachi downright ridiculous. It's the wall of engrish that ruins the whole thing, or rather improves it by making it incredibly amusing.

Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
I'm reminded of that boss in Espgaluda 2 who has a screen of him just laughing at you, only to pull up more screens of him laughing at you the more you damage him

One of the midbosses in Strikers 1945 stage 7.
An alien child hip-dancing, followed by an old dude in trench coat shooting patterns when he's flashing at you.

One of the bosses in God Panic (PCE CD) is Freddy Krueger + Jason Voorhees. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

No mention of Catspider from Guwange? I always thought that was pretty goofy.

Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
Everyone knew that the first on the list would be that Cho Aniki boss, right?
Anyway, I like that Santa Claus from Boogie Wings. Personality crisis version.
He keeps turning evil and trying to shoot you, or being his nicer self and giving you presents.

Kiwami Shooting the best.
Dimahoo's final boss makes everyone laugh the first time they fight it.

Level 5 boss from Gynoug. Kind of a precursor to the Choaniki games.
Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
I don't know any shit funnier than a good number of the Bakuretsu Breaker bosses.

Yes, it is indeed a digitized attack helicopter in space.

Aww, no love yet for Mary, the random Giant Cow boss from Deathsmiles?
Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
The ha ha ha robot boss in Trouble Shooters is hilarious.
Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
Explosive breaker is A+ quality material. I can't believe I forgot about this thing.
Rather obscure one, but the final boss of Sol-Feace/Deace emerges from a wall and starts harmlessly flailing its limb-thingies as you gun it down. It is a completely anticlimactic ending and looks wacky as all hell.

Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.

From CAVE's output, I am also fond of Pink Sweets' final boss endlessly shouting "BOMBA!" and "HADOOOO-GUN!" like a madman.
I am partial to the freaky salaryman with devil wings, though the stage 4 boss' underwear-clad last form gives it a run for its money.KAI wrote:Anything from Illvelo, that games is meme as hell.

Yes! Especially because Deathsmiles is otherwise grim and gothic, and totally thematically consistent -Uncle Taco wrote:Aww, no love yet for Mary, the random Giant Cow boss from Deathsmiles?
then, out of the fucking blue, there's a giant cow.

Re: Funniest shmup enemies/bosses?
Yay for reviving a thread that's been dead for years, but how did no one mention Toilet Kids for PCE? The bosses are all literally some variation of giant asses, penises, or toilets that fire poo/pee bullets at you. They really did a number on this one
It has it's issues, but it's a somewhat fun game on it's own, except a few of the bosses requiring you to get in their face to hit certain areas with your ground bombs.

You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.
