12 Most Bizarre Boss Battles In Video Game History

2. The Great Mighty Poo - Conker's Bad Fur Day

When this boss starts singing to you in his mighty stentorian voice, you think that there is a certain dignity about him. He exudes a kind of wisdom, an arrogance that feels justified by the grace of his impromptu song conceived just for Conker before their showdown. Or maybe you don't think those things at all, because you can't get over the fact that you're about to do battle with the biggest pile of shit in video game history. Thematically, it fits the colourful crassness of Conker's Bad Fur Day perfectly, and yet within the game's whole panoply of toilet humour, none delivers nearly as literally as this. To defeat him, you must throw toilet rolls down his throat when he opens his mouth to retune his voice. As the fight wears on, his rate of turd-tossing accelerates along with the music - which is punctuated harmoniously by his operatic bellowing. With its operatic overtones, the Mighty Poo boss battle is among the classiest and crappiest you'll experience in video games.
