Why did they waste time to create new sprites for Yoshi specifically for this fight?
>>
>>10939563
It's called SOVL, zoomie. You wouldn't understand.
>>
>>10939565
It's called waste of resources. At least utilize it somewhere else or just simply not do it.

King K. Rool in DKC1 and 2

I like the 3 platforms spread across bottom, middle and upper parts, and jumping across them, making a sideways 8 movement, "dancing" around them non-stop and hitting them on openings or during a mid jump.
Dancing spectres is one of my favorite horror tropes and strangely underused in modern media.

Every boss fight in YI was great. I really don't think we've seen Nintendo put out a product that wonderful since.
>>
>>10939589
modern game management thinks exactly like that faggot though, hence the shit games

Especially since bosses are generally the worst part of Mario games.

I hate how Castlevania reduced boss enemies to common enemies as the series progressed.

I think I spent more time on Ridley than I had any other boss first playthrough. REALLY felt that sense of accomplishment once I finally beat him

i like how he can weaken your abilities with his stinger, cool concept for a fight

Fucker made me shit bricks, that's for sure. I was close to death when it looked like I finally beat him, only for him to grab me one last time, and I literally yelled NOOOO until it was clear it was a fakeout.

King K. Rool and most of the Mega Man X boss fights. DKC2 and 3 had some cool bosses too

It's like a boss wandered out of an R-Type game.

can't really beat Bowser in Yoshi's Island when it comes to best boss fight on the SNES, nothing comes even remotely close.

>>10942770
>>10942897
It's a chinese bootleg tier version of the HR Giger Xenomorph. There's a face in the center-right corner with some kind of helmet that has blue orbs adorning it, and random bone lines to make it look like a crown, there's a brain behind some transparent membrane above it, and it has two xenomorph-like arms and two spikes on the back.
It may have some legs or not, it looks like a giant head fused into a torso with arms on both sides but I can't tell what it is supposed to stand on, it's a bit stupid that way.

Now if you want to see an actual abomination, look at this motherfucker.

Yoshi is drawn as a composite of multiple sprites. Head, body, and each foot being independent.

It looks like the only sprite that is exclusive to the final Bowser fight is one frame of Yoshi's head.

It most probably was a lot less work than you initially assumed.

At least he has other attacks he does from time to time. Fucking Cloud of Darkness literally only has her one big Fuck Off attack that she spams over and over and over. In any case, it's a shame after Zeromus and Neo Exdeath, they definitely toned the final bosses down in difficulty and bullshit. Kefka's fucking pitiful in comparison, despite all the kindo surrounding that battle.

Looks like it's much more than 1 frame.
>>
>>10948475
I think that other anon is claiming all of those sprites, are just a single frame head-swap, the rest of the sprite is used from the rest of the game
>>
>>10939538

Bowser from Yoshi's Island was just a discount Godzilla.

Someone either assembled those from dumped sprites, or cut them from screencaps. Someone at Nintendo didn't originally draw them all out like this pixel by pixel.

Here's what the sprites look like in ROM.

To render Yoshi, the game uses animation files that define which sprites to render at what position over time.

To make the final boss animations, the animation files were likely duplicated and a few sprites it refered to were swapped.

Kind of similar to what modern 2D skeletal animation does, like Vanillaware games.

I think this one was the actual highlight of Yoshis Island.
Its pretty insane that they pulled this off on the SNES all other mode7 memes werent half as crazy.

But that was baby bowser, not actual bowser.

Kinda is funny how he is the true menace in the story, probably because he is jealous of not being able to have Peach as his (baby) momma
>>
>>10950041
Wut? Baby Bowser is the same character as "actual" Bowser. Are you thinking of Bowser Jr.?
