Honestly I A. Wish we got Way more boss battle with them and B. The elite trio appeared in the game…

[@Fabricio37500]

​@@awesomeocelot7475One boss fight with the three at the same time was good enough in my opinion, what wasn't was there not being a solo fight with only Ecks or only Shun, as you only fight Ten. Why? Idk to be honest.

[@krisdeltatraveler]

@@Fabricio37500 I think it's because Ten is actually DESIGNED for combat while Ecks and Shun are sort of there for support and background scheming. Why do you think Ten has bodily weaponry (Arm cannon, photonblade, and literally has a hammer on his head) while the others don't?

Some would say this should of been the main boss theme but i think personally, i believe this should of been exclusive to the extension corp. The trio deserves there own theme and this works perfectly for them.

[@eyeguyart8685]

should have*

[@totallynormalclonewarsfan]

Good news, this theme is used WAY more in the game than the normal bosses. The other theme seems like (From what I know) it'll only be used for about 4 or 5 bosses. Although the other theme is certainly growing on me.

[@VentusKarpus]

​@totallynormalclonewarsfan I don't care how many time it's being played, I'm saying that this theme should have been exclusive to the extension corp and more moments where we could of battle them more. I feel like most of the character battles don't have a exclusive battle theme to them. I can name perhaps 2-3 moments where a exclusive theme should of been made for certain battles. Yes I'm ranting a bit but it's just clarification is all.

[@purrloin0196]

This would be a good idea, if the extension corp had more encounters, you only really fight them like 3 times in the entire game

[@TheBoiMyers]

​@@purrloin0196 SPOILERS Even then, you only actually fight Ten. Ecks and Shun are just support for other bosses, and when you actually fight the trio altogether, Ecks and Shun are still really only support since they only have like 2 attacks each while Ten has like 5-6. Ecks and Shun even act as supports during some of Ten's attacks.

Honestly, this music slaps. While boss themes from other games tells you that this is a big tough enemy that you need to conquer, the themes of this game just straight up tells you to dance with the enemy, go on and have fun with the battle. And I do love me a good violent dance.

I missed Yoko Shimomura's presence in the game but I loved this theme, every time it played I stopped the battle just to listen to part 0:57, there are a lot of Lupin III vibes here.

[@papysnek]

Lupin III mentioned!! and y'know what? I gotta agree, this is definitely the jazzy kind of whimsy one could hear in Lupin III, definitely not as mischievous though

[@Gala_KM]

Really great boss theme. I have a feeling a lot of the criticisms with this game are just because it's new. Lots of nostalgia for the old games.

[@oobtty]

It’s been 9 years. Of course they’re not going to make it identical to the old ones.

Okay not gonna lie, I really love this theme! The fights that have this playing are all so fun, like I really enjoyed Gorumbla's attacks and how he just T-poses on ya once he decides to go on the offense. Just a shame you can't rebattle the bosses, it hits different when you hearing this ingame vs just listening to it here.

I can't decide whether or not I like the mid-boss battle theme or boss battle theme more.

This plays during bosses which aren't the last of their respective sea. While I wouldn't really call the lighthouse fights more major than some of the other bosses (especially the case for Bowser despite his next fight being grander) they are technically mid-bosses in terms of structure
