And I'm a bit iffy on whether the scene depicted is properly illustrative, but I think the first priority would be to find a picture with fewer jpeg artifacts.

Barring someone finding a better version of that one, let's hunt other options. Here's some of Rocksteady and Bebop from the TMNT arcade games: 1, 2, 3

Here's some more:

[up][up] Yeah, the third one is the clearest. Better than the current.

Higher quality versions of pics with the same bosses that are already pictured, but in Super Smash Bros Brawl instead of Super Smash Bros Melee:

Same boss, but in Kirby And The Amazing Mirror instead of Super Smash Bros:

  1. 3 doesn't work, no clear indication that it's supposed to be two bosses at once. #2 looks decent, but would be better if it included their HP meters.

[up][up] Of those the first hands picture is more clear that they're separate entities.

Streets Of Rage has several examples, especially in the last stage. This fight or this one or this one come to mind. (This does too, but I'm not sure if it counts.)

A less obscure source would be The Legend Of Zelda, which gives us this.

EDITED IN: Not sure which specific screenshots from the Streets Of Rage examples to go with, but I've picked one from the Legend Of Zelda example:

[up] Forgot all about that one until you mentioned it. I went looking for a video of it, and one problem I ran into is that while the text is on-screen, they're holding their hands together as if they were one creature. However, the following angular position might give a reasonably low extent of that impression...

Those Ocarina Of Time screenshots are also very dark, so it's hard to see what's on them.

If the problem's that it's unclear that they're separate entities on the three I posted, perhaps this would work better:

Those are not bosses in that game, a SMB 3 or a Mario And Luigi pic would count as an example. (The former would be a Mini-Boss though.)

A mini-boss is still a type of boss, so if there's a good pic of them it works.

I dont like any of them really none say "Boss" on it really. (and the one that does is too dark.)

Those Ocarina of Time screenshots are also very dark, so it's hard to see what's on them.
That's a quality matter, though, and could be fixed by finding a different screenshot of the same moment. Here's a decent-quality video for potential screenshots.

I kind of like the Hammer Bros. They are a mini-boss, it counts.

[up][up]Maybe we just need a better picture of them.

Which game had the best-looking Hammer Bros?

[up][up] Again, that's a matter of quality. Brightness can be adjusted. The point is first and foremost to decide on how it is to be pictured.
