toc-man

[@hopefulfriend4163]

Personally, I think Spooky is the best option if we need a mainstay villain. He's actually evil, he has the power to be a challenge for Pac without needing to rely on other some macguffins (case in point, it was actually Pac who needed the golden fruit, it was just the power of them that kept Spooky at bay), his theme is catchy which is always a must-have for any big boss, he doesn't clash with the already established style of Pac-Man as a series, and he's what Pac has always gone against, a Ghost. Plus his design is really cool. He's less like Pac's eggman and more like Bowser. The biggest and baddest of the game's main enemy that has a lotta manpower and focuses on magic.

[@hopefulfriend4163]

Emperor Ghost is a fun idea tho, and I'd love to see it be executed in a 3D game as a boss. Toc-Man deserves props too, he's fun and is a nice story of Pac being friendly to everyone.

[@kylestubbs8867]

All good points… but I think it would be “mainstay” in the sense of multiple-continuity rivals, like Megatron and Optimus Prime. The common thread would be sealing magic - Spooky is a ghost, after all, and ghosts will just come back if you settle for defeating them.

[@cav33ra]

another option would be Betrayus! He may not be the most serious one, but he's still a good villain, and they could run some upgrades to make him more evil and threatening

[@axinhedgelion8417]

[@ドラゴンリュー-f1x]

Don't forget the ghost witch of netor, who is officially said to be a nemesis and has three games, one of which is only a cameo She could have been Pac-Man's Bowser or Eggman.

[@magnusvonbraun9870]

A lot of people say the fight is very bad by a boss standards, but I could see where they were going with for the boss. He is portrayed as pathetic in the series, so the fight being a joke makes sense with that context in mind.

[@indigosaturn255]

I totally get the hype with spooky, no other pacman villain can even hold a candle to him and pacman world 2 was one of my favorite games for the ps2. But am I the only one who has quite a bit of nostalgia for golvis? I get that he's not a great antagonist in the grand scheme of things, but his character and presence is what made pac n roll so memorable for me personally. And his battles are decently challenging at best and annoyingly difficult at worst.

[@Duskool]

I always wondered if the Ghost mechs from World 2 were based on the Emperor Ghost from Arrangement, or if it was just a coincidence

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Maybe they used the same shield, but since the ghosts weren't togheter, they were less powerful.

[@angelzavala2254]

Oh shit, nice observation

[@ziker2231]

​@@vittosphonecollection57289 When you complete Pac-man world 2 100% you can see devs and one of them is seen a similar version to Arrangement's, the dev shows a boss which the four ghosts (Inky, Clyde, Pinky, Blinky) would be using the same machine but with arms and it was planned to be the boss fight on World 5 instead of the Great Submarine, there's also more devs showing that Clyde, Inky, Pinky and Blinky each would have a different machine to fight Pac-man, sadly all of them were cut and all the ghosts used the same machine except for Clyde who uses a Frog.

[@heartlesshero9859]

Lord betrayus, toc man, and spooku are my favorite villains betrayus is a funny for losing and gets mad easily after his plans fails, sorta like bowser and dr eggman when they lose a lot, also 3DS final boss fight has a lot of fighting which i love it, he would be a perfect villain to beat him over and over again like bowser and dr. eggman Toc man gives a very dangerous fight, he looks so goofy on the original but on remake they made him look dangerous and i love it, the final fight very fits for someone that looks very dangerous, it would be a challenge to beat him without the family's help (and also that he normally wanted to be pac man so they would know that the hero sees the ghost as friends so the ghost would be wanted, pac man forgiving him it was so sweet (unlike the original that doesn't have 2 endings and pac man ruthly eats the ghost to release is family or as a punishment for kidnapping them)) Spooky is the most powerful villain of the series, the fight is cinematic, pac man needed golden fruits to be able to face spooky, spooky can make more damage in the world comparing to other villains, i would love a remake of world 2 and see if they make him even more dangerous like toc man

Everyone talking about how iconic these bosses are but can we talk about multicolored ghost for how challenging that boss looks. Unlike most bosses here this one actually test your skills on what you learned throughout the whole game, and I love the design too. It's ending is quite victorious too with all the Pac-Mans gobbling up the thing, a very satisfying boss, I will say they probably nailed it here and I might check the game out myself

I only include final bosses from the same game but from different ports if they are significantly different. All the final bosses you listed are basically the same as the ones shown in the video. The reason I included the 3DS port of Pac-Man Ghostly Adventures here was because it was a different final boss than the wii u version. However it seems that the Pac in Time for Gameboy looks a little different than the main version. I might include that one next year
