10 Best First Bosses In Video Games
2. The Great Mighty Poo - Conker's Bad Fur Day
Conker's Bad Fur Day initially started off as a cutesy kid-friendly title. When it was considered too similar to other 3D platformers like Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, Rare switched up everything, turning Conker into an adult-oriented game, filled with swearing, gore, and nudity.
And no part of Conker's Bad Fur Day earned its R-rating more than the opening boss. As the titular squirrel enters the centre of Poo Mountain, he encounters The Great Mighty Poo. The self-proclaimed Sloprano will then perform an operatic ballad, explaining how he intends to destroy Conker by tossing faeces at him. This song is so hysterically disgusting (and surprisingly well-performed,) the sweet-corn munching scat would be memorable, even if the fight itself was total crap (no pun intended).
However, the method to defeat the malicious manure is inventive and hilarious. As Poo hurls fecal matter around the room, Conker must toss toilet paper into his mouth. By doing this over and over, the dastardly discharge will belt out a piercing note, which shatters a nearby glass door, giving Conker access to a toilet lever. Once pulled, the evil excrement is flushed away.
Even though Conker's Bad Fur Day is crammed with gut-bustling moments, The Great Mighty Poo may be the biggest highlight.
