7. Crash Man - Mega Man 2
Crash Man was the hardest boss battle at the end of the hardest level in arguably the best Mega Man game ever, Mega Man 2. Lets first discuss the game design of Mega Man 2. Its set up as a series of boss battles as you need to defeat each of Dr. Wileys creations before finally taking him on himself. You play through their individual levels, ending in a one on one battle where you gain their abilities should you prove victorious. Crash mans level was a brutally difficult maze of turrets and helicopter robots as you climbed, ever higher, until you finally reached Crash Man. Once inside, that little bastard hopped all over the damn place, dropping bombs like a demented Easter bunny. If you couldnt get into sync with his movements, you were finished in a matter of seconds. On the flip side, once you reached Dr. Wiley all you needed was Bubble Mans power and Wiley was finished in moments. A bit of a letdown considering the hell you went through to defeat all his creations, especially Crash Man.
