^^^^Along those lines
Those stupid barrel rising levels in donkey Kong country returns (Wii). I like tough platforming, and even think the mine cart levels are fun. But those I loathe so much, I haven’t bothered with the sequel (which is supposed to be an excellent game, I know).
WORST! BOSS! EVER!

Man, the original DKC trilogy are some of my all time favorites! I didn't like Returns though because it just didn't feel like Donkey Kong Country, you know? But yeah the rocket barrels were the worst. It's like Nintendo saw all the rage Flappy Bird could provoke and decided to put it in the middle of an already challenging game.

Never had issues with the Rocket Barrels in DKCR, though I also haven't played the sequel (here's hoping for a Switch sale...)

Yeah. He's definitely lacking in the intimidation factor. No question about it. In fact, that thing looks like a big, cuddly stuffed animal that one would find on their sister's bed. Assuming of course that everybody had a sister who had stuffed animals all over their bed, that is....

Luther kills the Gond.
Love that commercial. In fact, it's one of my favorite Atari 2600 commercials along with the one they made for Pole Position. Here it is in case you haven't seen it in awhile....

And here's Luther. What was the name of the guy who played him, by the way? And did he appear in anything else besides that one commercial...

Lynchi I had never seen that before until about eight years ago online. That video is freaking hilarious, hahaha

No need for a sister. It would have been a stuffed animal hanging around my bed.
Along with all the Transformers, Masters of the Universe, and GI Joes. And Voltron, Insectiods, Tron, Tranzor-Z, and Starriors.
Plus a stray xenomorph or two.
My toybox was a multiverse, and that dragon would have fit right in.
Hell, I'd buy a miniature right now, if I could find one. It would look right at home guarding my small but growing collection of tiny arcade cabinets.
