*** Mega Mabobo also counts, since it does have that infamous deadly lasers where you have to avoid all the lasers that kill you in one hit.
*** Punchabobo also can count because Little Mac's boss battle is not very simple & the three Round limit that happens.

I decided to add some more info like some links for example I added Dig Dug to I Am Not Shazam trope.


* DemonicSpiders: there are several enemies in the game that can give you a hard time, a special mention goes to Flurry from [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 SMB2]] that appears the Zeldabobo level, although they only appear in one room & the Old Man's boss fight, they run very fast enemies & hard to hit as they run around the entire room & you can easily get hit by them if you're not careful.

* IAmNotShazam: The naming of the enemies (who are almost all directly lifted from the NES games) is incredibly inconsistent. Some of them retain the original names from the titles they appeared in, others have made-up names, and others take the name of the game they starred in, such as ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'' and the ''Balloon Fight'' guy. Granted, since WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster shows up in the ending, it's probably less a major case of IAmNotShazam and more of a sendout to the ''Captain N'' cartoon, which infamously referred to Pit as "Kid Icarus".

* ThatOneBoss: The Old Man, the boss of ''Zeldabobo''. By the time you first enter his boss room, you're probably hurting for health. He starts off with a shield, and he kicks the fight off by spawning enemies you've fought earlier in the stage (which means he can even spawn [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Flurries]], the GoddamnedBats of the dungeon). He can send out a homing projectile which, if you get hit by it, will be turned into a snail for about ten seconds, and will be more prone to being attacked. He can fire lasers and a homing stream of fireballs, which can also be frustrating, even more so if you get hit by the snail spell at a wrong time. ''Then'', after taking enough damage, he splits himself into three more old men, who can use a spin attack, which means more damage if you don't see it coming (but thankfully, if you have enough rage at this point, a single rage attack will end this phase of the fight quickly). ''THEN'', he drinks a potion, transforming into the [[spoiler: Old Giant]], who hits like a tank. This portion of the fight is considerably easier, since he's a much larger target and his attacks are easier to dodge (unless you get unlucky), but he gains invincibility frames during his attack start up, so this fight is a lot harder than it needs to be. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny The cutscene afterwards does make up for it, though.]]

* ThatOneLevel: ''Pro Wrabobo'', as stated on the main page. It's not because of the boss portion that makes it frustrating, it's what comes before it that gives players a hard time. Getting through the Balloon Fighter part can be easier said than done, as there's a ridiculous amount of obstacles between you and the boss fight, the Amazon keeps popping in to shoot a spread shot at you constantly, and, if you're trying for the two "no damage" achievements for this portion, expect to get pretty frustrated.
