Warning, spoilers ahead For me, it was believe it or not, Ray Sullivan from Dead Rising 2. The first thing that makes him a difficult boss is the actual environment in which you have to fight him. The stage is a rooftop, and he stands on top of scaffolding. In order to get up to him you can't just jump on top of the scaffolding, as it is too high, so you must get to one platform and then jump onto the scaffolding. Ray will try to prevent this by shooting you, and he can do quite a lot of damage with his gun, which will knock you back and may force you off the platform that you have to jump on to get on the scaffolding. His other move to stop you from getting on the scaffolding is to throw a flare, and a plane will bomb the flare (ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!), this bomb has an incredibly wide blast radius and does a lot of damage, not only that, it will actually take out a chunk of the floor, which means you can actually fall into that hole. The entire area below the scaffolding is littered with zombies, and they will grapple you, this can be a problem seeing as how Ray has time to throw a flare or shoot you. When you finally get on the scaffolding, Ray will put away his guns and flares and resort to hand-to-hand combat, and holy crap is this dangerous. The actual scaffolding has very little room for you to move around on, and running into Ray is the stupidest thing you could do. His punches and kicks will all knock you back, and deal an incredible amount of damage, and he can combo you into his uppercut, which if it connects it will take out all of your health besides one small block, no matter how much health you have. One of his favorite things to do is kick you off the scaffolding, which is high enough to get you hurt, and if you fall into a hole that his flares created, you will have to fight your way back through a mob of zombies. Also, the only time when he is open is when he is kneeling down, and this is a problem because if the weapon you have doesn't have a low hitbox, your attacks will just go over his head, and you won't be able to hit him, and if you don't use hand-to-hand weapons on him while he is standing, he will disarm you and throw away the weapon, knock you to the floor and punch you in the face. This guy is a serious jerkward. So what/who was the hardest boss you ever fought (provide facts). Also, I know that you can just stand on one platform and shoot him, I'm talking about the honest way of beating him where you actually try to MELEE him.

Maybe the Visier in PoP: Rival Swords. Stupid noob chucks fireballs when you climb floting blocks and stupid tornado too. Or the pink dinosaur who shoots eggs at you in Mario 64. Seriously, that was hard.

SnowFTW Birdo? Are you serious? Also, he didn't make any appearances in Super Mario 64, you may be thinking SMB2.

Final Fantasy Legend 3 for Gameboy. The bosses in that game are SICKENINGLY hard. You have to grind like insane levels to get past each one. The last boss in the game you actually have to just get lucky to beat, a lot of the time he just flares 2 times in a row and ur dead no matter what.
