12 Broken Video Game Bosses We NEED To Call Out

8. Dave - Super Bomberman 5

Upon competing the second Area of Super Bomberman 5, you must face off against the nefarious Bomber, Dave.

At first, this guy doesn't look like much. He's not a screen-filling robot or anything. He's just a portly alien with a bowler hat. Also, "Dave" isn't a particularly intimidating name for a boss.

Naturally, the player will think they can vanquish Dave the same way they would beat a regular player - trap him by a wall before placing a bomb beside him.

But Dave has two tricks up his sleeve that makes this strategy fall apart. Firstly, the bowler-sporting extra-terrestrial can kick your bombs away. Secondly, he can create blocks at will. If you place a bomb beside him, Dave will manifest a block from thin air, which will absorb the explosion.

What's worse is there is no technique to beat him. You just have to keep laying explosives, hoping one of them will hit him. Since Dave's bombs have massive range and he can collect the Power Ups strewn across the arena, you're constantly on the move, giving you no time to strategise.
