* Kabula. He was essentially doing {{Unexpected Gameplay Change}}s before the final bosses made them a standard.

* Fighting Dedede is generally awesome all around, but perhaps the crowning one was in the ''Adventure'' remake, ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', mostly because of [[YourSizeMayVary how huge he is.]]

* Grand Mam is a particularly fun PuzzleBoss to fight. Even riding the Friend Star, nothing damages her. So you have to cut the ropes on her bomb fists, then set off the bomb to destroy the armor.

* ''Videogame/KirbysBlowoutBlast'' (The Eshop expansion of Kirby 3D Rumble) has Kirby fighting Dedede on a 3D plane as the FinalBoss. After he's defeated, he harnesses the power of the Sparkling Stars and then ''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever turns gigantic]]'', with devastating attacks. [[spoiler:And in the Secret Path, you're treated to a ''Giant Masked Dedede'', and this time his mask gives him extra protection, forcing Kirby (and you) to step up the game to beat him.]]

* Marx Soul from the True Arena. It's Marx, more powerful, more awesome, and most of all, more insane. His maniacal laugh, crazy rolling eyes, attacks that homage Drawcia Soul and final scream as he falls apart all make him both awesome and (relatively mild, but still) terrifying.

[[AC:''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'']]

* The fight with [[spoiler:Queen Sectonia herself]] is very cool as well, as they possess a wide variety of attacks and different phases to the fight. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG_VQ_ttR_c The awesome music backing up the fight]] doesn't hurt either (OminousPipeOrgan + HeavyMetal = [[AwesomeMusic/{{Kirby}} AWESOME!]])
* This game's answer to [[spoiler:Galacta Knight]] is [[spoiler:Dark Meta Knight from ''Amazing Mirror'']], and he's just as awesome. [[spoiler:ThemeMusicPowerUp and everything.]]
* In ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'', Dedede is once again the final boss... except that not only is he going with up to ''61'' smaller copies of himself, he also upgraded his hammer with the power of Star Rod, to the point of being able to pull off [[spoiler:Shadow Dedede's attacks]]. All this while the tune of the title screen and, later, the medley of Dedede's boss themes from previous games are blaring.

* The entirety of the final boss is made of awesome. It starts out with [[spoiler:Susie knocking the helmet off Haltmann's head, allowing Star Dream to [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul overwrite Haltmann's memories]]]], and [[spoiler:Susie, not expecting things to have gone that way, leaves Robobot Armor for Kirby, and Meta Knight arrives with the Halberd, allowing the Robobot Armor to ABSORB it]]. The battle itself is a Star Fox-style shoot-em-up, with [[spoiler:Star Dream]] having plenty of lasers, a meteor shower attack, and even shielding itself with a heart-shaped barrier. And after that, [[spoiler:it fuses with the Access Ark, and becomes the largest thing Kirby's ever had to face]], that fires off rings, the letters to spell out "HAL" in reverse, [[spoiler:the Access Ark's legs]], and spherical lasers that explode. And after that, [[spoiler:the last little bit of the Access Ark's shell comes off, revealing a face similar to that of [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar GALACTIC]] [[PhysicalGod NOVA]], and even begins attacking with parts of the original Nova to boot!]] Oh, and after that, [[spoiler:Star Dream fires a laser at the Halberd, requiring Kirby and the Robobot Armor to be ejected, and ends in Kirby [[ThisIsADrill DRILLING]] straight through Star Dream as a last-ditch attack!]] And [[spoiler:in the True Final Boss variant, Star Dream Soul OS, as Kirby prepares to drill through it again, Star Dream inhales Kirby for an on-foot version of the Galactic Nova fight. After three waves of pillars, the heart subverts being a Background Boss and attacks directly, using attacks inspired by other Soul bosses (primarily Marx Soul) as well as unique attacks.]] And finally, [[spoiler:after depleting its health, it still uses a desperation attack before finally dying.]] Near the full depletion of its health bar in phase 1, [[spoiler: Star Dream]] realizes nothing it can ''naturally'' do can compete with the epicness of a [[spoiler: Robobot Halberd]], causing it to cheat and finish phase 1 by [[spoiler: opening a wormhole to a ''meteor shower''.]] This is only made more badass in the True Arena variant of the fight; normally, [[spoiler: Star Dream simply teleports around while the meteors fly at you. The True Arena variant ''keeps fighting'' as meteors are whizzing by the two machines, and uses a ''gigantic'' laser to cut multiple meteors in half so the debris will hit Robobot Halberd.]] Bear in mind that up until this, [[spoiler: fighting Galactic Nova head on was a complete death sentence, with even the Sun and Moon's power combined barely being enough to halt it. Now, you're flat-out blasting a Nova to pieces with the Combo Cannon and a weapon so powerful, it's literally called the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast PLANET BUSTER.]] It's as awesome as it sounds.]]

* ''VideoGame/TeamKirbyClashDeluxe'' (the Eshop expansion of the subgame) ends with [[spoiler:King D-Mind, which is essentially Shadow Dedede from ''Triple Deluxe'' being fully possessed by Dark Mind from ''Amazing Mirror''. He combines both of their attacks with frightening proficiency, making it a huge challenge even with a full party.]] The game also gives us a proper fight with Taranza, and he is ''no pushover'', pulling out a host of completely new moves that make him on par with a few endgame bosses. [[spoiler: His mirror counterpart, Dark Taranza, steps it up even further.]]

* Meta Knight's boss fight starts out like the one from Super Star, where he honorably gives a sword before the fight starts. [[spoiler: Hilariously, if you refuse to pick up the sword, he gets angry and kicks it away.]] After a normal sword fight, Meta Knight splits into two, so you have to try to fight two Meta Knights at the same time. Bring a friend, however, and he splits into ''four''!

* The final boss is probably one of the best in the entire series. [[spoiler: The fight with Void Termina starts with Kirby getting the super powerful Star Allies Sparkler, and they start to battle in a 3D arena shooter, kind of like Kid Icarus. After this first phase, Kirby gets sucked into Void Termina, and has to destroy its innards. Then, you have another shooting section as Void Termina transforms into a bird. Near the end of this phase, Void Termina even brings up the ''Master Crown'' from Kirby's Return To Dream Land. After defeating this bird form, Kirby gets sucked inside Void Termina again, and you have to fight a big blob that represents Void Termina that looks oddly like Kirby himself. While fighting this blob, his face starts morphing into that of Miracle Matter and O2, before turning into ''Dark Matter''. This means that the Master Crown, Void Termina, and Miracle Matter all seem to be connected by Dark Matter. The fight ends with one final button-mashing segment, as Kirby calls all of his allies to destroy Void Termina.]]

* Fighting Dedede is generally awesome all around, but perhaps the crowning one was in the ''Adventure'' remake, ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', mostly because of how huge he is.

* Right before the final boss, you'll be fighting [[spoiler:Lor Starcutter]] in a SHMUP battle, riding [[spoiler:each heads of the split Landia]]. Its attacks are based upon [[spoiler:the missing parts that you spent your time collecting, like the oars flying at you or the mast shooting out tornadoes]], and then some.

* Clanky Woods, if only for spectacle. The game takes Whispy Woods, near-universally known as a complete wimp of a boss, and turns him into a mechanical force with drill feet and missiles. Despite being the first boss, it's a very dynamic fight, unlike any previous Whispy battle. Special mention goes to the second phase, where Clanky makes the arena circular; a feature that hadn't been seen since ''Crystal Shards''.

* In the second Jet Robobot stage, Kirby faces off against C.O.G.S. again. It goes exactly the same as before, with the catch that [[spoiler:upon defeat, Kabula, the original Unexpected Shmup Boss of the series, emerges, now sporting a laser along with its original weapons]].

* [[spoiler: Hyness]] is one of the creepiest boss fights in the series. During the first phase, he's pretty slow, and his attacks are mostly easy to avoid. However, during the second phase, he goes completely ballistic! He moves much faster, his attacks hit harder, and worst of all, he [[spoiler: ''sucks the life out of the Jambastion mages and uses them as weapons!'']]

* The secret boss, [[spoiler: Morpho Knight]] is not only awesome in its design, but because of the bait and switch near the beginning of the fight. [[spoiler: Morpho Knight himself is an enormous Easter egg for long time Kirby fans if they recognize his design. For those who don’t recognize him, he’s based off the scrapped design for Meta Knight. His epithet is the “reborn butterfly.” Fridge Brilliance at its finest.]]

* Zan Partizanne's boss fight is awesome mainly because she [[spoiler: blows up the Jambastion after being defeated, forcing you to escape.]]

* Meta Knight's boss fight starts out like the one from Super Star, where he honorably gives a sword before the fight starts. [[spoiler: Hilariously, if you refuse to pick up the sword, he gets angry and kicks it away.]] After a normal sword fight, Meta Knight splits into two, so you have to try to fight two Meta Knights at the same time.

* The supposed final boss of the game, [[spoiler:President Haltmann]]. Take [[spoiler:Susie's mecha]] and turn it up to eleven, and that sums the fight up. While the battle itself is very crazy and exhilarating (boasting ''four'' phases and some very stylish attacks), a lot of the appeal comes from [[spoiler:Haltmann]] himself. His insane EvilLaugh and very... unique attacks (most clearly [[spoiler:destroying his own minions with a laser dome]]) really shows what kind of character he is. Coupled with the music, it manages to be one of the most unsettling fights in the series, and since [[spoiler:Haltmann]] is relatively tame in appearance compared to other ''Kirby'' villains, it's quite the accomplishment.

** The fight with [[spoiler:Queen Sectonia herself]] is very cool as well, as they possess a wide variety of attacks and different phases to the fight.
