Similar bosses to R-Type's Mothership

I've got R-Type Delta and Thunder Force III, but I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Moai Mothership, in Parodius series;

Big motherships, in all the following R-Type games;

Similar huge starships are also seen in Thunderforce V (right after you get the Vambrace) and in Salamander 2.

I'm sure there many are more of them; besides, the whole "huge battleship" thing is a bit vague. It could be argued that Uridium takes always place against such monsters of vessels.

EDIT: oh, right, there are battleships also in Steel Empire.

Stage 2 of Irem's own X Multiply is a huge battleship fight, with a more demonic motif.

There's Stage 4 of Thunder Cross, too, which is essentially the boss itself.

And damn, how did I forget Stage 4 of RayStorm? A whole armada of the things capped off by an absolute monster of a battleship.

The battleship in Strite in Thunder Force IV/Lightning Force? Also, when I think of the words "huge battleship", I think darius, though most of the time, they don't even resemble battleships, let alone the one from R-Type.

*Note to Turrican, check your PMs.

Omega Fighter.

Though the game is fullly a battle against a battleship

Stage 2 in Space Megaforce/Super Aleste might count...

Ah. Considering Metal Black is my current av, I should mention its fourth boss as well. Kind of titchy by "huge battleship" standards, but how many of those try to kill you with a hail of loosened bolts?

Z-Out, last stage.

Post by **system11** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:41 am

Aww - you all forgot Queen Fossil, and the walking boss in stage 3 (again) in R-Type Delta.

Post by **Shatterhand** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:36 pm

The OP mentioned R-Type Delta

I think every R-Type game, except maybe by Leo, has somekind of battleship in level 3, doesn't?
