On topic, can the boss have two stages? Like, in YI and SPP? Bowser, then giant Bowser? That kind of thing?
Either way, I'm gonna give it a try. Might put some actual effort into it, at that.
Last time, I just entered for the lulz.

| Congratulations to Flipiberke for his runnerup and everyone else who participated in the previous competition! The new competition is all about boss battles - doesn't have to be Bowser, Cackletta or who else Mario fights these days. Doesn't even have to be Mario either! Could be Luigi fighting a ghost boss... who knows! The theme is boss battles. You can't have a segment of gameplay before the boss, it has to be the boss battle itself only. A definition of a boss battle would be: you, fighting a single strong enemy (though him having baddies help him is alright!). You have to be clever. Since the boss is the only real enemy on the screen, he needs to be new and exciting. Maybe change patterns once in a while to freshen up, eh? So grab on to your ideas and sketches, it's time to develop a big baddie! Rules - There can only be 1 boss battle. One boss battle. That's many bosses. - You can only include the boss battle itself. No pre-boss segments. You can have a small hallway before the boss, but not an entire level segment. - All entries must be submitted before 20th September! Any entries not following these rules will be disqualifiiiied. But who knows. Could be fun, could be dangerous, could totally suck. IT'S GAME TIME |

| Could there be a small cutscene before the battle? |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Aug 30 2009, 03:49 AM |
| Again? Heck yes. 8) |
| Posted by: mirror Aug 30 2009, 03:51 AM |
| Defanatly entering. EDIT: Damn grammar nazis. |
| Posted by: Thingy Aug 30 2009, 03:59 AM | ||
Defiantly? Who are you defying? Also Yes I may join. Except last time I did this I got carried away and it turned into a not so good Cave Story engine. EDIT: Can the boss fight be a level? Like it's chasing you through the level and you can attack it along the way. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 30 2009, 04:01 AM | ||||
yes!
Yes! As long as it's all about the boss. |
| Posted by: Thingy Aug 30 2009, 04:10 AM | ||
Cool. |
| Posted by: Pikax Aug 30 2009, 07:23 AM |
| Let's see if I can get this one done some time before the deadline, giving me plenty of time to advertise it in Fangame Discussion before the final voting! EDIT: Am I supposed to have two third place badges? I mean, I only came in third place once. |

| Wow, you're honest. On topic, can the boss have two stages? Like, in YI and SPP? Bowser, then giant Bowser? That kind of thing? Either way, I'm gonna give it a try. Might put some actual effort into it, at that. Last time, I just entered for the lulz. |
| Posted by: SuperMarioMaster Aug 30 2009, 09:01 AM |
| I might enter this one maybe |
| Posted by: Yoshbert Aug 30 2009, 11:07 AM |
| I've already got an idea! Hopefully, I can finish this one... |
| Posted by: Saturn Aug 30 2009, 12:09 PM |
| I join! BTW, can I have boss that is not mario related? |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 30 2009, 12:12 PM |
| The boss can have several stages as long as it is the same boss and the focus still being on the boss |
| Posted by: Guinea Aug 30 2009, 12:16 PM | ||
Since when is the MGC Top Five badge a 3rd place badge? I'm sure I gave you that when you were fourth of fifth, so keep it. I think on the new board they are really top five badges anyway. |
| Posted by: Saturn Aug 30 2009, 12:55 PM |
| Can I make the boss push you back to the boss entrance like the bosses did the wario land 2? |
| Posted by: Char Aug 30 2009, 03:47 PM |
| I might enter. But last time I rushed and it was a horrible flop ;_; |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 30 2009, 03:59 PM | ||
of course you can, that's a silly question. As long as you follow the above rules you should be fine - you don't have to ask me specifically on every single thing you do |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Aug 31 2009, 02:51 AM |
| So by one boss, It means I can't have Mario fight against two characters at the same time? Of course, they'll act as a team (eg. they'll do moves that require both of them to do an action of sorts). |
| Posted by: Zero Kirby Aug 31 2009, 04:18 AM |
| I'mm-a enter this thing-a-ma-bobby Start my new MFGG Resolution before New MFGG is even here |
| Posted by: mrmario Aug 31 2009, 07:37 AM |
| Cool. This wil be awesome |
| Posted by: Elyk Aug 31 2009, 07:42 AM |
| I have my idea and I promised I would finish this one. Let's see if I actually do. |
| Posted by: mrmario Aug 31 2009, 08:09 AM |
| RPG battle with devil guy is taken! |
| Posted by: Funky Aug 31 2009, 08:50 AM |
| I know the will be entries with Bowser fighting Mario or Peach as a boss. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 31 2009, 09:15 AM | ||
ofcourse you can, but it is still considered one boss battle  |
| Posted by: LuigiFan Aug 31 2009, 09:24 AM |
| so, one fight and one fight only? you can't beat the boss then have him come back in a different form or something? |
| Posted by: mrmario Aug 31 2009, 09:28 AM |
| Luigifan, did you read this post by mecha: The boss can have several stages as long as it is the same boss and the focus still being on the boss |
| Posted by: Pikax Aug 31 2009, 09:34 AM | ||
I am exploiting this with my idea. |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 31 2009, 09:35 AM | ||
it's still the same boss fight, so yeah you can |
| Posted by: LuigiFan Aug 31 2009, 09:37 AM | ||
would we be able to, say, make a level and put the boss in it sort of like the points in metroid fusion with SA-X or is that pushing it |
| Posted by: Alex Aug 31 2009, 09:59 AM |
| You're Mario You're fighting Toadsworth Who's protecting the princess To make sure she doesn't get hurt And Mario wants to meet her But every time he beats Toadsworth up, he comes back in an even more powerful forme |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Aug 31 2009, 10:01 AM | ||
well you can't have any large segments before or after the boss fight. never played Metroid Fusion |
| Posted by: LuigiFan Aug 31 2009, 12:04 PM | ||
you'd be playing through the level and then suddenly the final boss would come down the same hallway you'd be walking down you'd have to run like hell to get away until you were strong enough to take it on |
| Posted by: Pikax Aug 31 2009, 12:23 PM | ||
The emphasis seems to be more on the level than the boss in that idea so I doubt it'd be allowed. |
| Posted by: Yoshbert Aug 31 2009, 01:46 PM | ||
I was going for this, except I'll be adding a few tricks, of course.  |
| Posted by: flipiberke Aug 31 2009, 03:15 PM | ||
Thanks Mecha, your entry rocked as well. Hmm, but if would be enter too this competition, it would be my 10th time, that I entered a compititioj.. So I want to enter with a game that would make my jubelium entry a blast And by the looks of this, the compitition is going to be tough. I've seen some great names entering.For this competition tough I might recreate my favourite boss fight from my favourite game, with a few twists of course. Let's see if I can pull it of.. |
| Posted by: Fez Aug 31 2009, 04:01 PM |
| Oh yes. Totally entering. |
| Posted by: Baroque Aug 31 2009, 07:10 PM |
| i am so entering this and getting a badge that will probably be lost when new mfgg rolls around even if i don't get the gold i'll feel special!! |
| Posted by: Meteor Magus Aug 31 2009, 09:19 PM |
| My computer suddenly decided to stop running GM... I'm getting it replaced soon, but I'm out for this comp.  |
| Posted by: mrmario Sep 1 2009, 06:19 AM |
| *looks at sig* Got fury? |
| Posted by: Guinea Sep 1 2009, 11:28 AM | ||
Competiton badges are among those that can be claimed back. |
| Posted by: Char Sep 2 2009, 02:03 PM |
| actually, let me rephrase; can the main character get all his power ups in the first cutscene? |
| Posted by: Luigigreens13 Sep 2 2009, 09:19 PM |
| this may sound stupid but,how should i submitt my game? posting it as a regular game or do i have to submitt it in a different way? |
| Posted by: Fez Sep 2 2009, 09:21 PM | ||
you can either attach it to your post or upload it somewhere. |
| Posted by: Luigigreens13 Sep 2 2009, 09:22 PM |
 oh ok! then i'll submitt it when ready! |

| Posted by: Sploder Sep 2 2009, 11:03 PM |
| Idea question time! I have this idea to do a game somewhat inspired by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warning_Forever, in that each stage of the boss would be determined by the player's previous play-style, both strengths and weaknesses. Would something like this be allowed? |
| Posted by: Luigigreens13 Sep 3 2009, 02:06 PM |
| is it possible for the boss to inform the player at the start, like in super mario 64? |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 3 2009, 02:47 PM | ||||||
yes as long as it isn't gameplay
yes as long as it is one boss you battle.
yes I am going to repeat this once more: AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T VIOLATE ANY OF THE MENTIONED RULES, IT IS ALLOWED you people keep asking me about specifics that are all allowed ): |

| Posted by: YoManRuLz Sep 7 2009, 02:19 PM |
| I have a entry, but how do you attach it? please help a noob in need |
| Posted by: Char Sep 7 2009, 02:25 PM | ||
you upload it to something like mediafire.com then paste the url here [dohtml]<hr>[/dohtml] [IMG] co-op, me and miaxis - ignore the quality loss i saved it as an 8bit png by mistake |
| Posted by: Yoshbert Sep 7 2009, 03:01 PM |
| Question: How long does the hallway before the boss have to be? Because I was thinking of having something like the last room of the final level of SMB3. |
| Posted by: YoManRuLz Sep 7 2009, 03:11 PM | ||
I tried but failed. Thanks anyway. I'll try later with a different web browser. untill then I'll shut up. and yours looks nice. |
| Posted by: Char Sep 7 2009, 03:42 PM | ||
There's also the "File Attachments" thing below every post. Don't abuse it though, it should be a last resort. |
| Posted by: YoManRuLz Sep 7 2009, 04:12 PM | ||
Thanks for telling me that NOW (seriously thanks) but I got it to work http://www.mediafire.com/file/uwrdinog3ti/Luigi'sWalk.zip for those interested: Luigi was going on a simple walk when... tell me if I broke any rules, cuz I don't think I did... |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 8 2009, 02:10 AM |
| Claimed on Mario vs Megaman, btw. Was going to keep it a surprise but oh well. :S |
| Posted by: YoManRuLz Sep 9 2009, 07:11 PM |
| just curious, why isn't this in the minigame comp section? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Sep 10 2009, 01:29 AM | ||
Minigame comp section doesn't exist, so I assume you mean Fangame Discussion? In a sense, I'd assume it's more organized. If you're participating in various MFGG competitions, it'd be a bit of a hassle to have to go to three different boards. Also, it makes GC more active, I guess. :S |
| Posted by: TheSuperyoshi Sep 10 2009, 05:50 AM | ||
If you mean the one in the Archives, only finished Comps go there. This one still runs. |
| Posted by: Char Sep 10 2009, 07:09 AM | ||
the what? |
| Posted by: Char Sep 10 2009, 01:30 PM |
 plot... twist? |
| Posted by: YoManRuLz Sep 10 2009, 04:05 PM | ||
O...just slap noob on my forehead. you learn by asking questions |
| Posted by: Mike Shinoda Sep 12 2009, 08:21 AM |
| wait so just to be sure If I have one boss Can i split it into two battles? Like the thing they did at the end of Sonic Heros, or like the end of Legend Of Princess? It's the same boss, just the battle kinda changes. Is that okay? Like... Battle 1: Blob the fighting raindrop and then after defeating blob he soaks into the ground and then Battle 2: Blobus (same as blob) the hurricane demon can i do that? |
| Posted by: Mecha the Slag Sep 12 2009, 08:29 AM |
| yes. I already said go for that several times |
| Posted by: Mike Shinoda Sep 12 2009, 08:36 AM | ||
Sorry. I tend to not read other peoples posts before posting. thanks. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Sep 12 2009, 12:46 PM | ||
