10 Video Game Bosses You'll Never Admit Losing To

10. Banjo-Tooie – Old King Coal

A giant lump of coal, that’s one of the bosses Banjo and Kazooie do battle with. A lump of coal who, fittingly, takes refuge in a cave with fire everywhere. It’s hot, it’s toasty, it actually sounds quite a dangerous place for a bird and bear to be lurking, especially with King Coal wandering around. Except, that’s all he really does.

He’ll have a wander, bump into things, roam around the arena with lava along the floor, not really posing much of a threat.

You wouldn't think it'd be an issue but more often than not, the player can lose their footing between the platforms floating across this lava, and take a nasty spill. Distance is key, but in a room full of magma and all the animation options open to you, the pressure is high.

On top of that, if King Coal does happen to take interest when you're too close, you'll be juggling eggs, coal, lava and floating platforms to boot.
