10 Most Unique Ways You Killed Video Game Bosses
6. Hit The Naval Piranha With An Egg Before Kamek Makes It Larger - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
You can save yourself quite the headache in World 3 of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island by killing the Naval Piranha plant before Kamek even has a chance to show up and embiggen it with his magic, kickstarting the regular boss fight.
This sneaky battle skip can be achieved by leaping onto the platform where the small, not-yet-transformed plant is and sticking to the left-most edge, such that you don't trigger Kamek's arrival and the beginning of the fight proper.
On the edge of the platform, throw one of your eggs at the plant's smaller form to kill it without any resistance.
This is followed by a sequence where Kamek rides in, exclaims "Oh my!" upon seeing what you've done, and promptly flies off, ending the World on an hilariously anti-climactic note.
Yet considering you need only step a few inches onto the platform to trigger the real boss fight, this is almost impossible to stumble across by accident.
