19 Most Laughably Unfair Video Game Bosses Of All Time
7. Mortal Kombat 3 - Motaro
It's Mortal Kombat's time to shine. Motaro, that butt-ugly centaur-like amalgamation of horns, stripes, hoofs and tails is THE worst sub-boss of any video game ever. Midway Games though, thought it must have been a good laugh to include Motaro in Mortal Kombat 3, knowing that he would only serve to piss everyone off and give up on even bothering to fight the final boss, because if this dude was so cheap, then what the hell would the dude after him be like? Why it's unfair: Like all cheap beat 'em up bosses, Motaro has all of the strengths and none of the weaknesses that 'fair' bosses are supposed to have, and then some. It's not the teleports, insanely-bloated damage or spammable projectiles that make Motaro an absolute joke in terms of balance (although they do contribute their fair share). No, it's the fact that he's completely immune to projectiles. The horse/man hybrid doesn't even need to time the reflection or anything, that stuff just bounces straight off of his body. That means you have no choice but to get in close, but Motaro has an answer for that too. He'll just grab you and punch you so hard that you fly back to the other side of the screen so he can start spamming energy balls in your face again. He's an utterly broken boss, but he's not the worst that Mortal Kombat has to offer...
