10 Video Game Bosses You Had ONE CHANCE To Fight

Super Smash Bros. is renowned for its ferocious final bosses, such as Tabuu, Giga Bowser, and Galeem. But not only is Master Core from Super Smash Bros. Wii U the toughest of the lot, reaching him is a feat in itself.

To fight Master Core's true form, the Intensity level must be set to 8.0+. If a lower Intensity is chosen, the confrontation ends prematurely before Core reveals its final incarnation, Master Fortress.

If the fighter receives a Game Over during the main campaign, they will have the option to try again. But by doing so, the Intensity level decreases, locking them out of the brawl with Master Fortress. If Smash fans still wants to take on Fortress, they'll need to restart. And since each opponent gets progressively harder, the average player will reset dozens of times before encountering this labyrinth-like entity.

Even if these tight parameters are passed with flying colours, fighters aren't out of the woods yet. Once the last fight commences, the player must vanquish Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Master Giant, Master Beast, Master Edges, and Master Shadow, before Master Fortress shows himself.
