Happyponygate Boss Contest!

[Hammer Sideways]

Candy Kane (I am pretty sure nobody took that already): A guy named Kane, made of red and white barber-shop pole-like candy... add blue and he'll look French...
Attacks: Rosebud!*: Candy Kane whacks you with a rose; Candy Kane's Candy Cane: Candy Kane pokes you with a sharp candy cane (or throws it)... hey wait, Candy Kane didn't have a candy cane**;
Really overrated movie attack*: This is not really an attack of his, but a passive effect, in which a movie plays on a screen behind Candy Kane, constantly damagin you due to its boringness (isolated and indented because it is important for defeating Candy Kane)
; Werewolf ***: Candy Kane turns into a wolf for a limited amount of time, during which he claws at you and bites you... like a wolf...
How to defeat Candy Kane: Candy Kane himself is, although not invulnerable, very hard to defeat. However hitting the screen playing the overrated movie damages and stuns him, as well as hurting the screen (which immediately moves, so you can't just keep hitting it). If Candy Kane is defeated without the screen being destroyed, the screen must still be destroyed.
Obscure reference list: * This is a reference to Citizen Kane, which, while it is thought to be one of the best movies ever, is sometimes considered a little boring; **: This is a reference to an episode of "The Simpsons" (by Matt Groenings) in which they go to a museum, in which there is a cane labeled "Kane's Cane", to which Bart replies "Hey, wait, Kane didn't have a Cane!" (or something like that); ***: This is a reference to a game called "Legacy of Kain" (or something like that) a game where you play a vampire called Kain. One of Kain's abilities was to transform into a wolf...

Cutte Cuter... I mean Cute Cutter: A water cutter that uses cuteness, rather than water, to cute... err... cut things... Happy Ponies use these because Cute is in more of an abundance than water in Happy Pony World...
Attacks:... uhh... it goes above you... and sprays cuteness on you... that's about it... (note: it follows you, and is faster than you, but cannot make sharp turns).
How to defeat Cute Cutter: Just cute... cut... its power supply... which, Kane's screen, moves somehow, defying logic... (the power supply, by the way, isn't on the Cute Cutter, it is a box with wires coming out of it, that is somewhere on the screen); or just wait until it runs out of cutece... err... juice... or cute, whatever...

Eres Bar (note: Eres is the Greek version of Mars): This is a chocolate bar that also happens to be a god of war (no, I was not intending that as an obscure reference...)
Attacks: Summon: It summons chocolate soldiers and choclateers* (like musketeers, except they shoot chocolate, out of a gun made of chocolate). Slash: It slashes you with its sword (made of chocolate), and does not make any obscure references to any guitarists...
How to defeat Eres Bar: Generally I like to go with the "Do something else other than hit them" way, but I can't really think of anything other than firing surprisingly powerful ICBM's at a nearby planet (which I feel is going a bit... too far with the "Do something other than hit them" thing)
Obscure reference list: *in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" I vaguely remember Willy Wonka being described as a "Choclateer".

Snuggle Snooble*: A dinosaur that shoots heart-shaped bubbles...
attacks: Shoot the aforementioned heart-shaped bubbles... note, the thing about the heart bubbles is that they do minimal damage, however if 3 hit you, and are adjacent, they explode, doing quite a bit more damage than 3 normal attacks. By adjacent I mean, you have 6 (or more) sides (no not really, just for the bubble thing), that the bubbles "stick to", meaning you can turn and have one hit you so that 3 are not adjacent... however... the damage per bubble increases when 4, or 5 bubbles pop at the same time...
Basically: If you think you won't get a 4th (or 5th) time, you can try to avoid having 3 adjacent to each other by having them non-adjacent, just realise that if you mess up and getting 4 (or 5) adjacent to each other, it'll hurt...
Ascii drawing of what I am trying to explain:
--_O_----------So, given that the three black O's are bubbles that have already hit you, and the rest are vacant spots, if a bubble
O/You\O-------hits the red space, it will cause three to burst. If it hits the blue space it will cause four to burst. If on hits the
O\___/O-------greenspace, none will burst, however, if one hits the green space and then the red space, it will cause 5 to burst.
---O-----------Generally you have the ability to turn and make the bubbles hit wherever you want, to some extent...
To defeat Snuggle Snooble: Hit it, if hurt enough it will drop its supply of bubbles, destroy the supply of bubbles and Snuggle Snooble will cry or faint or whatever** because it apparently can't claw at you with its razor sharp claws, or bite you with its teeth.
Obscure references: *Bubble Bobble. **: I think that the dinosaur (bub, or is it bubba?) in bubble bobble (and puzzle bobble) will either cry or faint upon losing... but I don't remember exactly...

[TyTBone]

Hot Chocoleader or Choclateer or Cocoa Puffer - There are two versions of this guy, but really there's not much difference between them.

PICTURES BELOW!

Version #1 of Chocoleader is a large mug. (You know, a thick ceramic holder of liquid.) The color of it is probably an off-white or tan. The only human/animal features he has are two large eyes up front.

Movement: Hot Chocoleader sits/teeters upon stool/unicycle of sorts.

Weaponry: The Chocoleader holds most of his ammo inside of him. (He sprays hot chocolate.) The place it is fired from is his hollow handle. When it's not shooting out the goo, it's in a completely connected " [ " state. However, when Choco wants to shoot, he disconnects the handle into 2 parts roughly halfway between the " [ " shape. The top half stays the same way ("pointing" down), while the bottom half pivots into a forward position. Pointing towards Bouapha, it then commences firing and all that jazz.
Oh, and you can't have hot chocolate without marshmallows! So the Chocoleader has his own version of the H. R. Puffencrush, on the other side of him, maybe connected by a metallic extension or an "invisible one", Homestarrunner-style. While Chocoleader doesn't use this one as often as the handle sprayer, when he wants to do the worst amount of damage he can, he shoots off several marshmallows into the spraying stream of chocolate. The rushing force of the cocoa pushes the marshmallows into the stream, where they end up hitting the same target as the hot chocolate, causing 60% more damage than if the two weapons were working alone.



Version #2 of Hot Chocoleader doesn't really have many differences from #1. The main change is his body structure. Instead of mug, it's in an oversized hot water urn (http://www.aaroncaterequip.com.au/im...otwaterurn.jpg) and sprays the chocolate out of the spicket.

*********************

Love Boat - (Just wanted to suggest the name.)

[Mossysox]

Coconut Ice. Large, globular pink thing that lobs coconuts at you. If they miss you and hit the ground, they explode, sending out 'ice' that freezes your weapons for a period if it hits you. The time involved could maybe depend on your shield capacity.


Love Bombe. More than faintly reminiscent of Miss Piggy, this blows showers of Candy Kisses at intervals. These could come in different flavours (some bite, some sting, others poison), but it's(/she's?) basically a horde-producer.

[Coolguy]

BUNTHULU
It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a rabbit caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A large-eared, pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.

DEEP FREEZER
A big ice cream monster. He turns normal ground tiles within a certain radius of him into ice, making it harder for Bouapha to attack him from close range.

[TyTBone]

Scooper Shooter or Napoleon Neopolitan or something to that effect - I know people have already suggested ice cream enemies (bosses, too, I'm guessing), but after working in a cafeteria this morning and seeing the bowls, I felt inspired to do my own version.

POOR PICTURE BELOW

SS is a giant bowl of ice cream, and not much more than that. He doesn't have any eyes (he might have some internal radar of sorts), but he has a mouth because it looks cool on him.

Movement: Two little ?plastic utensils? for feet...I just wanted to give him small tootsies.

Weaponry: Hmmm...it's hard to do good 3D in MS Paint (at least for me) so I drew a funky picture and diagram to help explain. SS has a large ice cream scooper above him (in the pic it's bobbing on a spring, but it might look better if it's "floating", Homestarrunner - style). To fire, he lowers it, turns it sideway, scoops up a chunk, pulls back on the spring, and let's go. Of course, the scream flies forward, forcing Bouapha to dodge that stuff like the Matrix. ~~~~~~ O



Again, see the pic.

Happy Gilstickmas - Hold on. Lemme upload the pic. There, a combination of "Happy Gilmore" and Happystickman. Oh, "mas" means more in Spanish, so...yeah...I was in a goofy mood.

[Megadog]

The Egg.
An egg with over-obsessive amounts of health. It doesn't attack you as when you kill it it hatches into...


Baby Draco!
Baby dragons gnaw on there mothers legs. Thats how they teethe. This little fella sees you and, thinking you its mother, starts biting your head. Also if you die or get too far away from it, it bursts into tears. The dragon has an average amount of health and deals snuggle damage (It loves you)

[TyTBone]

Fruit Attack Tree or Palmetto Palm or something to that effect -

In one of the earliest "Veggie Tales" videos, a parody of "Gilligan's Island" is done, which features a palm tree that sings a song. (He sounds sort of like a cross between Eric Clapton and Bob Marley.)

Well, I thought it might be cool to have a palm tree in HPG that hums or sings a Carribean-type tune while he's swaying back and forth. (It wouldn't have to be intelligible.)

CONCEPT ART BELOW

Movement: If he does move, it would probably be with his roots. They might act like tentacles or feet that scoots him along.

Weaponry: Fruit counts as Sweet, right? Well, FAT or PP or whatever doesn't attack unless provoked (aka hit by Bouapha). Whenever he's hit, a few pieces of fruit fall down from high in his branches (they would otherwise be hidden), hit the ground, and chase after Bouapha until they're dispatched. (Possible kinds include bananas, pineapple, apples, oranges, etc.) The fruit pieces themselves wouldn't be hard to beat (although they may explode and hurt Bouapha once they're destroyed), but PP himself would be relatively difficult. The more health he loses, the more pieces of fruit fall from his branches.




Chunky Chipper or Chip Chucker or something like that

This guy is essentially an oversized version of one of those chocolate amoebas from the ?Chocosumi? that "switched" sides in the war, grabbed 2 H. R. Puffencrushes, and modified it to fire chocolate chips instead of marshmellows.



Happy Stick Wizard - I think this name I used in the enemy contest.

This is a Happy Stick Man dressed in a robe and Dunce cap, essentially. He has a magic wand with a smiley face on the top of it.

Weaponry: Probably the deadliest of the Wizard's attacks (but not as often used) is his Serial Cereal attack. He can call down oddly shaped and oddly-colored pieces of marshmellows (yes, a Lucky Charms reference which I thought would work well) from the heavens using his magic wand. (It's hard to avoid being hit by them, as many rain down.)

Most of the time, however, HSW throws smiley faced shriukens at Bouapha, shoots lasers out of wand, and (I guess, to keep his SwC personality) tries to chomp on him.

Serial Cereal - The name above inspired me. I think this guy could be a lot like the pillow fighter, except he's a really big box of cereal. Every once in a while, when he pauses to stop trying to squish you, he might pop some flakes out to try to kill you "Pumpkin-style", like with the Cotton Kids. Of course, it's sugary cereal.

Oh, and sorry for so many posts. I just have lots of ideas and want to share them.

[Coolguy]

The Malicious Mallow Monster
Since Marshmallow Men have apparently been renamed Mallow Men, here's a Mallow Monster. A giant Mallow Man with two heads.

[varkarrus]

Squirrel Scout Cookiemancer:

This squirrel has a happy grin and golden locks. Her cookie box acts as a shield, but she can't make sharp turns, so you can hit her back. She opens up the box (removing invulnerability), and attacks with multiple cookies that she telekinetically controls! She also can get really angry and charge at you in a straight line. Take advantage of this, and make her crash into a wall to stun her. Lowish health.

[Coolguy]

Squ'rgok, Elder God of Cuteness
A giant big-eyed pink cyborg squirrel. It just hops around quickly (making him hard to hit) while firing a steady stream of projectiles from a big gun attached to his back, as well as summoning squirrels out of nearby trees. Its projectiles have a huge critical hit chance, so Bouapha is very likely to get Awwwed (whatever Awww does to Bouapha- I suggest it makes Bouapha do 50% less damage for a while or temporarily transforming Bouapha into a bunny that can't attack).

Monster Over the Bed
The leader of all security blankets. I don't know what it does.

The Blob
An evil version of the Oozinator blob! ONOS! Each bloblet has its own very small healthbar and AI. Bouapha has to shoot his way through the blob to the Master Bloblet in the center, which constantly churns out bloblets until the chocolate blob returns to full size. The Master Bloblet is much healthier than the normal bloblets, and the Master Bloblet might also be able to fire chocolate (like the Moss Grande in SWC).

Choco'Xotl the Immortal
Chocolate was invented by the Aztecs, and, unfortunately for Bouapha, the Aztec chocolate god happens to be in league with the ponies! Choco'Xotl the Immortal is a big chocolate golem. He isn't just a normal arcade boss like the others- He has his own big area! Choco'Xotl has an invincible dark chocolate force field (since dark chocolate is obviously made of dark matter/energy!). Bouapha has to run to various distant corners of Choco'Xotl's lair in order to pull the switches that deactivate the chocolate monster's force field so Bouapha can damage his HP bar. Once the boss' reaches 2/3 HP, he'll reactivate his force field and get a tougher AI (so he's like a classic Spyro boss!). The paths to the switches become a bit tougher (more enemies and deadly obstacles). Bouapha has to go through all three stages in order to finally beat Choco'Xotl and get lots of precious loot and XP.

Of course, if you just want Choco'Xotl as a normal boss, you could just change his force field so he has a Starcraft Protoss-style force field (that rapidly regenerates).

Mallow Commando
A normal-sized Mallow Man, except with a really big gun and futuristic armor suit! He fires a huge quick-moving rocket which massively explodes into confetti and death upon landing. Bouapha can only evade the rocket because the Commando's crosshair is clearly visible on the map slowly following Bouapha! Bouapha has to run away from the crosshairs while firing. As the Commando's health goes down, he'll aim his gun faster.

[varkarrus]

Essence of Pink Elephants and Stampeding Chocolate Zebras

You walk into some room somewhere, and the WHOLE ROOM transforms into a little girls room, and happy faces open up and shoot happyponyfire at you that burns you constantly! In order to defeat it, you must shoot the pony that dances across the walls shooting at you! Be careful, minions (Pink elephants and stampeding chocolate zebras) sometimes pop out of the walls.

Barnaby the Dinosaur

This huge purple/green stegosaurus stampedes through his arena. His arena is a lot of 5*5 squares aranged in a grid formation, like tunnels

He stampedes through these tunnels, and at every intersection is a 5*5 square with an arrow. If you or Barnaby step on it, the arrow will turn to make whoever is standing on it face the direction of which the arrow is facing. This has the side effect of turning the arrow. If he sees you, he will stampede straight at you. You can't hurt him from the front, so make your way through the tunnels and attack his back. If you hit him from behind, he will run as fast as he can to avoid you and eventually stampede from front. If he charges into a wall, rocks will roll through the entire arena.

[happystickman]

Happystickloli

Its a stick figure with a HUGE Lolipop for its head! It has a bunch of bomb baloons in both hands too, that he can hang in the air like mines. Plus, he has a Gun that can shoot little Suckers (Think Dum-Dums) A possiable Bonus boss? (like the Happystickwitch?) Does Sweet Damage.

[Megadog]

Cereal Killer.
Basically a bowl of coco-pops with two guns. One fires coco-pops, the other, warm milk. Does choco damage.

[Coolguy]

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Every video game needs one of these kinds of bosses!!! It starts as a giant green-with-red-ribbons present that has big eyes and slides along the ground. Once Bouapha manages to beat it, it suddenly splits into two large-ish gifts of equal size! ONOS- It really does keep on giving! Once Bouapha beats one of those, it splits into two human-sized gifts, and upon beating one of those, it splits into two puny gifts that are the standard rush-quickly-with-low-HP enemies. These little ones don't split into more enemies when they die. So Bouapha has to beat up a very large amount of increasingly smaller gifts until they're finally dead. Sort of like a giant multi-mouse. For added fun, each size level could act differently. EX: Giant one is slow and shoots some big slow projectiles, large one fires floods of small slow projectiles in a XOP-ish manner that bounce off walls, medium one fires a single large fast shot every couple seconds, small one is a rush enemy.

Happy Pony Cult Leader
All the other games about demonic invasions have people getting corrupted into evil groups - Why not this one? Some people have sympathized with the happy ponies. C'mon, who doesn't want to be happy forever? These people have formed an evil cult that worships ponies. This happens to be their leader! He is guy in tradition warlock clothing (or is it a peacelock?). His staff probably has a heart on the end rather than the traditional skull, and his cloak is pink. Maybe a bunny-ears hat stolen from LL2 as well! Just anything to make him look like a really silly wizard. He's surrounded by runes (like on the main menu you showed us) that reflect bullets, so Bouapha has to either run within the circle of runes (where it's more dangerous due to the cult leader having a powerful short-range spell) or he can try to fire between the runes (which isn't very easy, because those runes spin quickly!). The cultist's attacks consist of a short-range burst of hearts like a flamethrower and a long-range seeking heart that explodes upon contact with any object. The cult leader also summons a bunch of cultists every once in a while, and more often when he's low on HP.

EDIT: Also, as a very unlikely bonus idea, it would be cool if the Cult Leader had a mana bar. Evil spellcasters! It would be something new for a Hamumu game.

The Bear Lair
A big mountain of candy, with a candy mountain cave in it (heh heh). The Bear Lair is a stationary enemy that only does one thing: Churn out hordes of bears! These bears are some fast-moving low-HP variant of standard bears. The idea is that as soon as Bouapha encounters this, it suddenly churns out hundreds of bears and he has to shoot through them all to blow up the central Bear Lair to stop the summoning! This is probably more of a miniboss than a real boss (although having 4 bear lairs in a small area would certainly be worthy of a boss fight!).

Cakethromolek The Lie
A monstrous cake forged from the dark chocolate lakes of HPL's Mount Dumb. This beast is a dark brown cake with a big happy face, probably with a tongue sticking out and big eyes. This dastardly dessert simply slides along the ground, so animating its legs isn't a problem. Because Cakethromolek is made of dark chocolate and because he's a Lie, he turns invisible every couple seconds! This boss toggles invisibility on and off every 10 seconds. Cakethromolek is a scary enemy because he charges at the player, so when he turns invisible, it's only possible to tell where Cakethromolek is by seeing all the trees/junk items exploding as Cakethromolek charges through them at Bouapha! Cakethromolek also fires chocolate fudge when he's low on health, and only when he's visible. The fudge has a 100% critical hit rate, so Bouapha always gets stickied, making it much easier for Cakethromolek to chase him!

Food Cake Devil
Considering what HPL is a parody of, this would be a good name.

Smashquatch
Sasquatch SMASH! This is a big scary sasquatch which probably runs around in the forests of Canada. He just does melee attacks and smashes through trees. Maybe this is a sekrit boss that can be found by Bouapha by running for hundreds of thousands of miles into the forest outside of the city?

[Megadog]

Trifle Trouble.
Three sisters, Tina, Tasha and Tamara fell into HPL and were turned into mutant puddings. Each with different attacks, Tina is younger and smaller than her two, identical sisters, who wear pink and cyan, compared to Tina who wears yellow. They still look human but control the power of trifle!
When they are almost dead they could fuse and become a trifle more powerful than bouapha can take!

[TyTBone]

Chipper - This boss is a machine that is controlled by two or three smaller enemies. It is based upon the concept of a wood chipper, although in this case, wood is replaced with large chunks of candy. Those are inserted into the machine at the back end, and get ground up into much smaller pieces and get shot from the front.



Chipper can swivel on his base, so that the wheels don't have to constantly be turning. (Not proud of how the tires look, but I didn't feel like drawing back ones. )

[poopsie]

here are 4 ideas

mars'mello:A super-sized marshmellow man with tentecles that flail around
and hit you .make it black licorice[EVIL!!but good]When
weaker,start spitting jelly beans.-is sweet damege-

big sucker-different color head,different attack.Can slam head down or
swip claws at you-sweet damage-

Laffy serpent-sweet-can bite you when weak with super sweetness!
It can streach itself out abit longer than before.He becomes weaker then.

Devil's Food-choco-A dust devil with a smile,a chocolate trident,
and can throw extra hot fudge that hardens over you.[like freezeing in SWC]\

[Hammer Sideways]

I think that logically, both of these would have already been taken, but I can't seem to find them in any of the posts. I will go ahead and post them just incase they haven't been taken already:

Chocolate Bard: A minstrel/troubadour/bard (basically all the same thing) made of chocolate, which fights alongside Ice cream Bard. When attacked bits of chocolate break off (like shrapnel). I haven't thought of any attacks yet, but I feel that they should be music-related and also chocolate/ice cream related (the former if it isn't possible to have something that is both).
Chocolate Bard should basically look like an anthropomorphisised chocolate bar, wearing a candy bar wrapper as clothes
Ice Cream Bard: Basically like Chocolate Bard, except it is an ice cream bar, with a spoon (which it uses as a weapon). Instead of music, Ice Cream Bard focuses on acrobatics* (because if it isn't possible to have a song related to both chocolate and ice cream, and they were both singing... it wouldn't work well...), by which I mean, it does acrobatics while hitting you with a spoon. Again, Ice Cream Bard will look like an anthropomorphisised bar (though in this case, an Ice Cream Bar...) with a wrapper as clothes. Ice cream bars however have popsicle-stick like things, in Ice Cream Bard's case, the stick will have legs drawn on it (which Ice Cream Bard will be able to stand on... somehow...)
The Bards are Chocolate element and Sweet element (respectively) by the way
To defeat them: You can either smash your way through them or wait for them to melt (as with my previous bosses, I wanted a way to beat it without having to actually fight it...)
If you are wondering why I didn't just edit my previous post, it was because it was over a week ago, so it won't let me edit it (at least, I think that is the reason). Oh, and I'm sorry that I didn't organize this as well as my previous bosses, I mainly typed things up as I thought of them, if I remember I will try to organize everything, but not now...

[Scotty]

ChocoBun!!!!!

A chocolate bunny tht looks like the chocolate bunnys you get at Easter!
As you shoot him, pieces will break off and when u get to the last hit, only his head will be left!
He doesnt shoot you, but he runs into you and you lose HP quikly.
He should be pretty fast, faster than Bouapha definitly.
Maybe around 300 hits from a hammer would be good.
Bouapha should find ChocoBun in an empty meadow with eensy weensies running around in random places. Then when you beat him, you should cross the meadow and continue with your game.

Hope you like my idea!
Thanks,
Scotty

[Coolguy]

Last day to get entries in!
