This is my tribute to Mega Man X. I think X1 has always been my fav SNES game growing up. Played it through at least 20 times in my lifetime and will probably play more before I leave this earth. This print is available at ironpinky.com Thanks!

did you know that if you refer to you brother's yet-to-be-named pet spider as Spark Mandrill enough times, that will just become the spider's name

Since you shared who your favorite Mega Man boss was, who’s your favorite Mega Man X boss?
I'd say it's a tie between Spark Mandrill, Wheel Gator, and Launch Octopus.
Spark Mandrill and Wheel Gator not just from how they were forum injokes at one point, they're also formidable powerhouses of destruction, with Mandrill having an incredible theme song, agility, sheer strength, and an onslaught of moves designed to overwhelm the player, and Gator just being a harder bad guy all around mostly in concept, while his moves still make good use of what he's supposed to be. Also his theme song does an impressive job at repurposing the game's lead synths into a saxophone, which is something you'd never hear in a mega man game ever again!
Where Spark Mandrill simply blindly followed orders and was labeled a maverick for it, Wheel Gator literally killed a fellow hunter and was given a dinosaur tank to level a whole city, just to feed his impulses.
In terms of his upbringing, he's literally the whole impression I got from Mandrill when I fought him as a kid.

Plus, both of them are really fun to fight against with just the X buster once you learn their patterns, putting the dash ability to the test while never constricting the player, with Mandrill literally getting sucker punched by charged shots when timed correctly. Inversely, they also can be brought down by their respective weaknesses, coining the term "Spark Mandrill Syndrome", but it's a slog using the Strike Chain on Gator since he'll just go back to hiding in the oil every time.
Tumblr media
Launch Octopus on the other hand is just fantastic boss design all around, moreso just watching him go, since his attacks are really formidable without his weakness. You'd think a torpedo would be a slow weapon by default, but his are dealt swiftly, and in great numbers.
He fires rounds of missiles from his shoulder blades aggressively, and on top of that, his tentacles fire TORPEDOES FASHIONED AFTER PIRANHAS that, true to the name, home in on the player. and if THAT'S not enough, he'll drain your life energy if you're caught in his whirlpools. All while he glides through the stage with relative ease, as to be expected of an octopus.
Plus the game is kind enough to give you multiple ways to subdue him, since his fightstyle's so offensive. At that point it makes perfect sense the Rolling Shield would be a perfect counter measure, it hits him hard and also neutralizes his shots, but you could ALSO cut off his tentacles with the boomerang cutter!
The one true disappointment with finally getting to use his weapon; by the time you're beginning to have fun just firing homing torpedoes everywhere, you've probably run out of weapon energy, and you'd kinda think it'd be more effective against tougher enemies since it gave you so much trouble when Launch Octopus was the one wielding it.

Generally, the solution when I’m struggling in a boss fight is to change the music. Cause usually, if I’ve been sitting there for longer than an hour, the music’s definitely gonna have worn me out, and even just having something new to listen to does wonders for my energy and helps me to actually think.
My point is, Princess Peach Showtime? Mega Man X’s Spark Mandrill against Disco Wing, and Sonic Adventure 2’s Cosmic Wall against Purrjector.
So far, it’s working wonders.

ROUND ONE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pit: Hey, it's Zero! Palutena: Right you are, Pit! Zero's a Maverick hunter from the distant future, and is Dr. Wily's greatest creation. Pit: Wait, he was built by Dr. Wily? But he always seems so... Nice! Palutena: Well, he fights for what he believes in, Pit, rather than letting who built him take priority. Pit: Aw, it's nice that he knows what he's fighting for. Palutena: You've already seen Zero fight as an Assist Trophy, so you probably know plenty about his Ryuenjin and Kuuenzan. Just keep in mind you may have gotten him in the crossfire before, and you'll do just fine. Pit: Right!
Pit: What kind of animal is that, Lady Palutena? Palutena: That's Crash Bandicoot. As you can tell by the name, he's a bandicoot, a small marsupial. Viridi: THAT'S a bandicoot?! But Bandicoots are supposed to be small and cute, not... THAT! Palutena: Well, he was experimented on by Doctor Neo Cortex. After being blasted by his Evolvo-Ray, Crash was mutated into the intelligent life form you see now. Viridi: Grr... Those stupid monkeys just don't know when to quit! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM! Palutena: Well, luckily for you, Viridi, Crash here also hates Doctor Cortex, and has dedicated his life to taking him down. You two may have goals that align. Pit: Right... Um, fighting tips? Palutena: Oh, right. Crash's Tornado Spin is his signature move, but it leaves him in free fall when used in midair. Use this to your advantage!

Grading Monkeys That Everyone Should Learn About
Tumblr media
Howler Monkey
Named for their gimmick of throat pouches that let them yell so loud that they can be heard a mile away. Excellent monkey counterpart to the siamang, an ape with a similar feature that thankfully lives nowhere near them. One-note, but it’s a good note, albeit one that I wish to protect my ears from. B
Tumblr media
Sun-Tailed Monkey
Excellent name. I learned about this species while reading a list to refresh my memory before making this post. Their titular feature is vaguely ominous, but otherwise they are just OK. C
Tumblr media
Mandrill
Well known for a reason. Great colors. They spark the imagination with their threatening vibes. They used to be classified as baboons, and are cooler than all of the real baboons. Would be appropriately cast as the final boss of monkeys. B
Tumblr media
Patas Monkey
They’re nicknamed “military monkeys” because their coloration resembles a British redcoat. They can also run at 35 mph, making them the fastest species of primate. Average in looks, but cool trivia elevates them. A
Tumblr media
Squirrel Monkey
Actually comparable to squirrels in size. Not as nice-looking as other monkeys, but smallness will go a long way. There are a few different species of squirrel monkey, rated as equals because they are all fine creatures made cute by their tiny stature. B
Tumblr media
Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin
Lion tamarins come in gold, black, and golden-headed varieties. Pictured above is the golden-headed lion tamarin, which is like a half-and-half of the black and gold varieties, and is therefore the prettiest and the best. Excellent color scheme, and the leonine look is a good one. S
Tumblr media
Golden Handed Tamarin
One of many monkey species named for one body part being an interesting color. Evocative of the Midas Touch. Not as cute as I would like despite a similar color combination to their lovely golden headed lion brethren. Sadly outclassed by other tamarins. C
Tumblr media
Emperor Tamarin
How is this a real animal. Made to be a cartoon character. A
Tumblr media
Capuchin Monkey
Very trainable, the type of monkey that will most often be used in live entertainment. They get a lot of love in the form of merchandise as a result. Perfectly fine color scheme, one of many monkeys named for their fur’s resemblance to human clothing. They’re OK, but overexposure makes them seem plain. C
Tumblr media
Spider Monkey
Up there with capuchins and mandrills in mainstream recognition. They have delightful proportions and strong prehensile tails. Ethereal and uncanny in shape, if unremarkable in color. The platonic ideal of a monkey. B
Tumblr media
Proboscis Monkey
Not my preferred aesthetic, but their existence brings me joy. Distinctiveness prevails over blandness. B
Tumblr media
Black and White Colobus Monkey
Like a higher-tier upgrade of a capuchin, despite a lack of proximity. Dashing. Their coloration is elegant in its simplicity. B
Tumblr media
Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey
Their blue-white faces are cute and expressive, and provide 00′s movie poster style blue and orange contrast against their golden fur.  A
Tumblr media
Snow Macaque
The monkeys that most often appear in anime. They like to recline in hot springs. Their thick fur gives them cozy vibes, and their red faces really pop. A
Tumblr media
Golden Monkey
Just not as nifty as other monkeys named for having golden fur. They deserve some love all the same - searching “golden monkey” brought up more pictures of golden snub-nosed monkeys and golden lion tamarins, and that’s unfortunate for them. Perfectly fine in their own right. C
Tumblr media
Red Shanked Douc Langur
The prettiest monkeys. I have convinced multiple people that monkeys can be aesthetically pleasing by producing images of them. Color gradients make their faces look glowy. The red shanked variant is the best because the red is a striking accent to an already excellent look, but any douc langur is a beauty. S
