1. Boswer (Super Mario bros.)
Doesn't matter what Mario you play, be it Mario RPG or Mario Party, Bowser is possibly one of the greatest and classic video game villains of all time. Like Dr. Wily or Ganon, he ALWAYS ends up a villain be it major or minor in the games. One thing I love about Bowser is his appearance, it's just so bad ass looking.
The hair, the spikes, the claws, the big teeth, he's just a great villain who will always remain in the spotlight no matter what day and age he's in.
2. Andross (Star Fox)
One villain I've always loved, Andross is a great foe for Star Fox. Having a maniacal, mad scientist monkey attack you with a giant pair of hands and a giant head never gets old. Andross has a great face and unlike Dr. Robotnik or Wily, he creates LARGE and VERY cool looking monster sized bosses.
They don't fall under cliche catgeories, they range from giant 6 armed lizard gods, to floating brains and monkeys in megazord style robot suits. He's got a great evil laugh too.
3. Perfect Chaos (Sonic Adventure)
Despite the longevity of this game and the annoying fishing portion with Big the Cat, I have never had more fun battling a boss then this one. Chaos is a gigantic water dragon monster, and he has an amazingly cool look to him. The game's movie effects make him look magnificent, and he's really unique.
The way you speed up to lighting strike his brain, the music that plays during the battle, it just adds to the enjoyment of the boss battle. Chaos if you ask me is the best NON mainstream Sonic video game villain they've had yet.
4. The Great Mighty Poo (Conker's Bad Fur day)
The greatest Nintendo 64 game gave birth to probably one of the stupidest and weirdest bosses ever, a singing, talking, opera belching pile of sh**. Something about a giant pile of crap signing and weakened by throwing rolls of toilet paper down his throat just screams out creativity to me.
But seriously, this boss is a riot, he sings and makes the fight so entertaining and less frustrating. The "Big Big Guy" (a giant talking boiler with "balls of brass") is actually my favorite Conker villain, but Poo gets in because he truly is an original and funny as hell game villain.
5. Marx (Kirby's Superstar)
Not many know this guy, he's a weird little dwarf that mutates into this freaky ass, crystal winged bat monster demon thing towards the end of "Kirby Superstar". He's the last boss to face in the "Galaxy" portion of the game on Super Nintendo, and I just think he's a great and super cool game boss.
He's got a very cool appearance and his attacks are so colorful, cinematic, and eye popping you almost want to get hit just to see him use it. I think he's under appreciated as a kirby boss and hope more people find out about him.
