Bomberman GB - Stage 8 (Boss Showcase + Final Boss)

(Also known as Bomberman GB 2 in Japan, and yet it's called Bomberman GB in USA.)

It has caught my attention that there are no good-quality videos of these types of Bomberman GB runs, so thought I'd upload one here. I will, however, go into detail about every boss:

======

Boss 1:
Complete joke. Only bomb the midsection, though you have to be a little careful. Takes 6 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 2:
Fighting from the bottom section is completely pointless, so fight from the top section. Laying one bomb in the first and second row should do the work. Takes 6 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 3:
You'll want to run clockwise or counterclockwise. This boss fight also requires prediction as well, so when you think it's the right time to lay down a bomb, do so. Laying a bomb after the boss lands won't get you anywhere. Beware of its spawns. Takes 7 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 4:
This boss shouldn't require too much prediction - it basically follows your route wherever you go...beware of lasers. Other than that, this boss is a joke. Takes 8 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 5:
Careful with this boss. If you are inept, its claws/[whatever the hell the thing is in its back] will strike you. Memorize its movements, and bomb placements won't be that much of a hassle. Takes 8 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 6:
Run clockwise...or counterclockwise (up to you). Lay three bombs in an open area every side you pass through. This boss is time-consuming, but with this tactic, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Takes 8 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 7:
Repeat the method used for Boss 6. Just beware of the boss' flame breath and its flaming sticks. Takes 9 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 8 Part 1:
This is luck-based. You'll need to memorize where the boss launches its spiked obstacle. Maybe if you're lucky, you can just stand in the center and bomb at the right moment. It takes tons of tries, but you'll eventually get the hang of it. Takes 6 hits to defeat the boss.

Boss 8 Part 2:
The boss splits in two. The best tactic to defeat the duo is to abuse the hell out of lining bombs. Besides, running at the second-to-last row is suicide, and trust me - it's not worth it. Takes 8 hits to defeat the duo.

Final Boss:
To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to survive this boss without taking damage...I just can't seem to find a way. I've done this test through save states, and I still can't find a solution. Until there's a solution, it's impossible to survive the beginning of this phase without taking damage.

Anyway, take the hit (since it's inevitable regardless) and go clockwise or counterclockwise (again, your choice). Use the tactic from the Boss 6 fight, but make sure you're parallel with the final boss, and if done right, it won't fire a spiky obstacle diagonally, but will shoot upwards, downwards, or left and right. Basically, if it fires diagonally, chances are, it's likely to be lights out for you. Repeat the process until victory. Takes 9 hits to defeat the final boss.

Well, now that the nightmare is over, I can finally sit back and relax...

Oh, and if anyone wants the password to this part, it's 5472. Not to forget to mention it's also in this video, too.

I remember playing this game as a kid. The final boss music when the boss transformed as a skull used to scare the **** out of me.
