Boss Characters
- Pharaoh Walker - A giant sphinx-like robot, controlled from the inside by numerous small men. The men can send homing electric spheres to damage the player, while the sphinx itself can attack by lashing out its tongue at the player, crouching down and spinning its legs at the player or jumping up and paralyzing the player upon landing. On top of that, the sphinx sports a powerful laser on its tail which will be fired as well. Players can hack away at the creature's legs until it falls, at which point the more vulnerable head comes into striking range periodically. Alternatively, players can attempt to take control of the powerful laser weapon and use it to shoot the head, dealing very heavy damage. Assuming that a time limit has been set on the stage, if the Pharaoh Walker is not defeated within the time restraint, it will jump onto a hill in the background and fire a massive laser blast onto the playing field, instantly KOing all the remaining players.
- Dr. Erode - The villain of the game; a monstrous green giant sitting at a table. Though his motives are unclear, he states in his entrance quote that the power in his own Power Stone (which, judging from its black color, can be assumed to be an evil dark variety of the Power Stone) would become absolute if he destroyed the heroes. Items can be retrieved from his meal and hurled at his vulnerable head; with sufficient damage, his even more vulnerable heart will be exposed momentarily, allowing for further damage. His attacks include stabbing the table with his knife, lunging his arm at the player to grab and bite him/her, drinking from his cup and regurgitating poison, shooting lightning from his hands, and calling forth bee-like creatures to attack the player. If not defeated within the time limit, Dr. Erode will shoot a final blast of lightning from both hands, instantly killing the players.

Famous quotes containing the words boss and/or characters:
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibilityI wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (17521840)
