retrorussell Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The stupid grinning flying robots on various stages in Mega Man (the first game). They dive bomb you super fast and bash into you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Speaking of Mega Man I, those Spines that zip back and forth on the platforms are also very bothersome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The stupid monster that keeps messing up your invention parts by knocking them off the blueprint in BLUE PRINT. Same game-- the flowerpots that drop down at you have a weird pattern that often seems to get you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Those respawning paint blobs that lived in the goop in Super Mario Sunshine. They tend to go kamikaze on poor Mario while he's cleaning up. Not necessarily hard to deal with, just a royal nuisance, especially when fighting with a boss.

pablum Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) The "Rinka" enemies from Metroid. The little fireballs that attack you in Mother Brain's chamber. To me they're the definition of a classic annoying video game enemy. They infinitely respawn, coming at you from all directions. They zap your energy, knock you down into lava, and generally slow you down as you're trying to attack the Zeebetites and Mother Brain herself.

Mxyzptlk Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Evil Otto - Berzerk. The COMPLETLEY random weights - Crazy Climber. Hyperspace ( yes it IS an enemy) - most every game that has it. Sinistar - Sinistar. The bees - 720. Icicles - Mario Bros. The bat (easily the MOST annoying) - Adventure. Dragon Chan way too random to beat after beating him the first time - Super Punch-out Soooo many more, but these are my most annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes, definitely the weights in Crazy Climber. The knife throwers in Kung Fu Master. The buzzards in Donkey Kong Jr. when you're near the top. Not having much room to work with, and hoping one doesn't fly at you (which it always seems to do).

dendawg Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Those are probably the most annoying two enemies in SMB3! The sun is unavoidable for the most part unless you freakking speedrun the level, and the fish doesn't only take your power up; it takes your entire life! The sun in SMB3 is overrated, as it can be killed easily with a koopa shell. Edited June 17, 2014 by dendawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Two enemies in Wonder Boy III (Master System)/Dragon's Curse (TG-16): The cloud that rains fireballs down on you; arrows are the only way to get rid of them, and the skeleton with its disembodied head. If it hits you then it bounces around making it even harder to kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) After playing Batman Returns on the Lynx tonight my immediate thought once reaching the second level was that I cannot believe I forgot how much of a pain the shotgun cops are. Honorable mention to the two different types of penguins on the fourth level. While not as annoying as the shotgun cops, they can put you in the water often enough.

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The sun in SMB3 is overrated, as it can be killed easily with a koopa shell. Just like you can kill the giant fish with a fireball. I haven't tried it yet (thanks for the tip) but am I correct in assuming the sun respawns immediately if killed, just like giant fishy?

retrorussell Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Don't remember if this was mentioned yet but the smart bombs in MISSILE COMMAND are really annoying and can't be killed very easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Lover Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The birds from Ninja Gaiden, the Moby birds from Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, and the Cheep Cheeps from the Super Mario Bros. franchise. That brings up some fridge logic. Since these games were designed in Japan, you have to wonder what is it with the Japanese and killer birds. Do birds routinely kill people in Japan?

What's up with flying fish (cheep-cheeps) for that matter? Or a leaf that turns you into Flying-freakking-raccoon/tanooki? Evil walking mushrooms (goombas) that try to kill you? Three words: Japan is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Was playing 2600 Star Castle on my Harmony. That plasma ball that launches out of the star when I'm trying to destroy it. You can avoid the plasma ball by keeping your ship in motion; however it's really difficult avoid as your ship has to be pointed at the center to get a shot in. Still an awesome homebrew and I plan to get it when it releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
