He's tough. I hate his head, so, so much. Thanks to terry2k for telling me the name of this guy.

I never understood why they called the remaining lives you had "REST"

what was up with that

[lmphk]

A lot of Konami games had that, including Contra. My guess why they went with "REST" instead of "LIVES" in this game was that it might've been confusing since the life bar was called "LIFE". In Contra though, there was no life bar that you could confuse with the lives, except for the MSX2 version. I guess it was used in so many games that the players pretty much knew what the "REST" meant. The "REST" could also mean that it shows "the 'rest' of your lives".

That mufukkaz head used to bother me seriously. I remember finally beating him and taking a 2 hour break. I just left the game on pause since there was no way to save the game. :(

This is undeniably one of the toughest bosses in the game, because of the head. Krang from TMNT 3 kinda reminds me of this boss, since in that game, Krang splits his exosuit-thingy in half, with the upper body flying around trying to shoot laser or hit you with a hammer, while the legs gallop around and follow you to kick you when you're not looking. This and the Krang fight from TMNT 3 are two of the most difficult fights of the two beat 'em ups. All the other bosses were very tough as well.

im noticing this level and the frozen level aren't in the arcade aracde versoin up on here why not?

[lmphk]

Huh? The arcade version didn't have these levels, the NES version had them because it was released as a port after the arcade game. Konami decided to add the two levels to the game when they released the NES port, the levels don't make much sense plot-wise, but it was a nice extra for the people who bought the NES version.

...much like your comment, Palewhitehorseman?

[rbman9876]

This level was quite the headache. And the boss wasn't any better. Ahh memories......

@lmphk Rest = Restarts

[KillerKowalski7]

When I first fought this boss, I thought it was an evil Casey Jones until his head flew off his shoulders.

[WebVManReturns]

@EightFlew0ver REST of your lives. They really should have changed it to Left as in 4 Left.

[tubebandito]

Dat ass.

[pannoni1]

A Shogun does appear in the episode Combat Land in the original TV series.

@lmphk I know I'm replying to an old comment, but here goes. I'm pretty sure that the use of "REST" is a bad translation, 'Engrish' thing. Many Japanese games refer to lives using the word "nokori", which means "remaining", "left-over" or "the rest of". Therefore, "REST" does in fact refer to the "rest of your lives".

His dieing scream sounds like a cow being slaughtered.

[Leatherbubba]

I love that weird scream when he dies.

[NarutosDemonForm]

When we were smaller we though he was carrying around a Hockey Stick. Then the name The Goalie came up and we called him that ever since.

[mistamajor]

I always had to continue at this level or this Boss.........EVERY FREAKING TIME I PLAYED!
