There's a lot that needs fixing here. It's not yet done and i'll continue when I have the time.

'''In the blue coooorner (Bobbeh & boy tropes):'''
!! You will no longer stand between me and my tropes. Let this be our final battle!
* BossArenaRecovery: The "shoot me" fish.fish allow you to recover either Torpedoes or Rockets depending on what color they are.
* ChainsawGood: [[spoiler:His final special (after which he loops back to the first one if still not dead) uses two rows of chainsaw teeth with occasional conveniently placed gaps.]]
* CrosshairAware: His eye beam has a crosshair that homes in on you until the beam fires at you, which tells you where it's going to hit.



* FacelessEye: His eye transformation.



* HammerSpace: to an extent. Come on, where DO you store all those rockets and torpedoes?

to:

* FlunkyBoss: The Crab has random [[InvulnerableMinorMinion electric eels]] coming to shock you occasionally. He also doubles as a MookMaker himself since a few of his specials summon diverse mooks, and the only attack he will use multiple times in the battle is the summoning of an [[EliteMooks small walking robot]] with a separate healthbar which tries to shoot you with plasma bolts.
* GiantEnemyCrab: The boss of the game is The Giant King Crab, who is a giant crab.
* HammerSpace: to an extent. Come on, where DO you Somehow, a simple shark can store all those rockets a lot more Torpedoes and torpedoes?Rockets than it size would suggest. The Giant King Crab also employs this, given that he has a gramophone, poison gas, a pearl, and Rambo, among other things located inside him.
* HumongousMecha: The AT-AT he summons at the start.
* InstantBandages: When he dies, he gains 2 bandages on his body.
* InvincibleMinorMinion: The electric eels he sends out. They come out regularly and can't be killed at all.
* KaizoTrap: When you kill the Crab, you are immobilized for his ending cutscene, but you do NOT receive invulnerability. Thus, if you kill the Crab but leave one of his walker robot minions alone, you will keep standing in one spot as the Crab begins his monologue and the walker stands right underneath you, blasting you with plasma beams and eventually killing you. You can die during the ending cutscene. VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy much?
* LuckBasedMission: Some of his attacks can become this coupled with the random electic eel appearing. Standing in a spot waiting for his electric herse or the coral attack to end? Electric eel comes, no space to dodge, you're dead. Spinning around for your life during the Pearl move? Electric eel comes, no possibility to dodge, you're dead. Trapped between the chainsaw blades? [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Electric eel comes]], [[RuleOfThree no space to dodge]], [[FakeDifficulty you're dead]].



* NonHumanSidekick: Inverted. Apparently the magical shark is the dominant partner in their relationship.

to:

* NonHumanSidekick: Inverted. Apparently the magical MusicalAssassin: His second special has him bring up a gramophone and plays a visible stream of notes from it. Said notes can harm you if you're in their path.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: After he's defeated, he says that "the games have just begin".

shark is the dominant partner in their relationship.



* PinballProjectile: The machine gun's orbs that are fired off by Rambo will bounce off the walls and floor of the battlefield multiple times. Fortunately, the pattern is always the same, so safe spots can be found.
* PullARabbitOutOfMyHat: One of the ways he summons mooks is by using his crown to summon jellyfish out of it to attack you.



* ShoutOut: Bobbeh shoots [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] from [[Film/AustinPowers his head]].

to:

* ShoutOut: ShoutOut:
** He sends out [[Franchise/StarWars AT-ATs]] and his swordfish minions resemble Stormtroopers.
** His penultimate attack summons ''Film/{{Rambo}}''.
** He uses [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]] to deliver his final message.
** The giant fortress in the background is suspiciously similar to [[VideoGame/MegaMan Doctor Wily]]'s signature Skull Fortress.
** The Game Over theme is from ''Anime/CodeGeass'': it's "If I Were A Bird".
** The theme that plays during the actual battle is [[https://soundcloud.com/ninjaduckie/ultimate-crab-battle a perfectly-looped snippet]] of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg86Q8y_Qj4 Tally-Ho!]], of the soundtrack to Anime/MacrossFrontier.

The player controls Bobbeh the magical shark [[ABoyAndHisX and his boy companion]] (unnamed) in an UnderwaterBossBattle fight to the death against their mortal enemy, the [[GiantEnemyCrab Giant King Crab]], in the final-est climactic-est ultimate-est final battle to ever come at the end of anything. The eponymous crab pulls out every stop in this fight, attacking with lasers, swordfish, electrified spikes, helmeted jellyfish, fast-growing coral, and increasingly overelaborate attack sequences, each one sillier than the last. It is, quite simply, a parody of the bombastic, flashy, theatrical FinalBoss battles in many recent videogames.
