Men of wa
#20 Bowser
Warning: this is only Bowser's first appearance on this list. The super-famous dinosaur seems to put up more of a fight with every new title in the "Super Mario" series but luckily "Super Mario Galaxy" shows he's willing to fall into yet another pit of lava.
#19 Mike Tyson
This seems like a cruel joke on Iron Mike, but he was a menace to society in "Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!!". He knocked you down for the first 1:30 of every fight and eventually frustrated gamers with a "Punch Out!!!" series that made them throw their Nintendos across the room.
#18 Diablo
"The Lord Of Terror" is the primary antagonist in the "Diablo" series and he's one of the more noted bosses that's incredibly... chatty. Big Red's appearance in "Diablo III" featured him taunting players, even going to lengths to tell them they will fail at doing whatever they're trying to do.
#17 The Final Boss
It's no secret: all of the bosses from the "Contra" series are insanely difficult to beat but this one from "Contra 3" for the Super Nintendo stands out on its own. Once “The Final Boss” transforms into nothing but its brain, it becomes a whole different face-off as circular shapes show up with varying abilities such as spikes, mobility, and well, even more circular shapes.
#16 Sephiroth
The direct opposite to Cloud Strife not only appeared in "Final Fantasy VII" but he was also a boss in "Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts II". Defeating him took time and patience, because if you didn't take advantage of those stunned states, you find yourself racing to heal yourself immediately before getting killed.
#15 Yellow Devil
Also known as Yellow Demon or Rock Monster, Yellow Devil is one of Dr. Wily's creations in the "Mega Man" series and one of the hardest characters to defeat. The original fortress boss in the first title is technically a large yellow blob but it can dismantle itself and change forms to unleash unblock-able attacks.
#14 M. Bison
According to superfans, the toughest M. Bison to ever exist appeared in "Street Fighter 3 Alpha" where he had a deadly attack called the "Final Psycho Crusher" that covered the entire screen in blue flames and severed the opposing player. To make things even more frustrating, Capcom made the title unique by making gamers start from the very beginning if they lost.
#13 Dr. Wily
The famous doc put up quite a fight in "Mega Man And Bass" but when has he ever been easy? He's always giving Mega Man an extremely hard time and we're just quite surprised that he hasn't forced the Blue Wonder to develop a fear for heights.
#12 Psycho Mantis
Undoubtedly, Psycho Mantis is one of the craziest villains in the gaming world. In "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" he commanded that you put your controller down (so it could rumble creepily on its own) and no one knew that they had to swap controller ports to finish the fight.
#11 Zeus
Most know Zeus to be a kind-hearted God but that's not the case in "God War II". Earning a victory over him required you to parry his lightning bolts and overcome the awkward tension considering Zeus is Kratos' father.
#10 Shao Kahn
If you thought defeating Goro was tedious, Shao Kahn's appearance in "Mortal Kombat II" forced a lot of kids to give up their lunch money. Some succeeded with a win but most left the arcade with empty pockets.
#9 King K Rool
He's one of the most maniacal villains in video game history and he's no different in "Donkey Kong 64". Defeating him in the 3D adaptation is a chore in itself so whatever you do, make sure to pack a lunch.
#8 Fontaine
"Bioshock" fans are beyond excited for the video game series' latest installment but the original boss was no cake walk. Fontaine's attacks mimicked a football player overdosed on steroids as he racked up charges like a credit card.
#7 Lou The Devil
Sure you may have had the chops to beat Lou The Devil in "Guitar Hero III" but did you do so on Expert? Being the winner of the final guitar battle took practice, more practice and even more practice, and playing the same old song over and over again didn't help.
#6 Emerald Weapon
N64 fans had "Ocarina Of Time" and Playstation One fans had "Final Fantasy VII", an iconic piece of gaming history that also featured a disarming bad guy. Emerald Weapon was unforgiving and in the 1990s', was an exact replica of a mean gym teacher.
#5 Tabuu
The key to beating the major boss in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" is fairly simple. All you need to do is dodge his primary attacks, like the Red Ring Of Death, Whip, Energy Spray, Purple Energy Pounds, Beam Cannon, Spinner, Charge, Eye Lasers and Image Barrage (we're not kidding).
#4 C'Thun
One of the few old Gods in "World Of Warcraft", C'Thun was originally known to defeat any top-tier guilds in the game. Now level 70 players can actually join forces to form a faction that's large enough to carry out strategies and take the ancient baddie down!
#3 The Shadow Queen
The Shadow Queen was one of the major highlights of "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door" and because gamers were bedazzled at the sight of an evil Princess Peach. Her ability to restore health was annoying and likely had Mario rethinking his original ploys to rescue the love of his life.
#2 Hitler
Modern history's renowned villain got quite the makeover in "Wolfenstein 3D" (his weapons are totally unfair) and it didn't help that the Führer was incredibly fast. Like I-will-actually-reset-my-console-and-cry-alone fast.
#1 Bowser
Almost everyone associates Bowser with being the first video game boss they ever faced off against and he can easily be blamed for being sneaky. Why? Defeating him actually didn't require you to fight him head-on.
