Incredibly satisfying fight, given that the final boss in almost every other Mega Man game and Mega Man X game is a pushover. For once, final boss was actually the hardest part of the game.

Runners up:
Giant Baby Bowser (Yoshi's Island)
Smithy (SMRPG)
Zeromus (FF4)
Neo Exdeath (FF5)
Ganon (Link to the Past)
Ganon (Ocarina of Time)
Kefka (FF6)
Hag 1 (Banjo Tooie)

Some good YouTubers call it 'the perfect boss fight', admitting they have their nostalgia goggles on.

The Sonic games easily have some of the best boss battles of the 16bit era.

I like the fact they gave you 0 rings for the final level. It really gets anyone who's hooked on Super Sonic crack by surprise.

if I turn off my genesis after beating seven force, does it count as a final boss now?

No, they think it's a final boss because they never got past seven force.

Golden Silver was pretty cool, though.

regarding the filename, of course OP, before I even read that

And you already posted it.

The second choice will have to be Ganon in OoT. Back when it was epic and justified before it was considered tryhard.

This may have been the first final boss fight I experienced that felt truly climactic. The background, that music with the main theme leitmotif...

Nightmare felt like an epic battle in terms of atmosphere but it was just too easy IMO. I suppose Kirby games are supposed to be that way, though
