* KnightOfCerebus: The Smith Brothers, dual bosses from Stage 4. Considering the overall cartoony atmosphere of the game, things get pretty serious once you encounter these two. Both of them have attacks that are very difficult to avoid and can kill you easily. They're also not above taking the saloon girls hostage during the fight and even [[WouldHitAGirl throwing one of them out onto the street]]. And, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joM-1nzzkbM the background music]] during their boss battle is arguably the darkest and most menacing in the game.

** El Greco will empty your pockets if you're not quick on your feet. You'll spend a lot more time repositioning yourself away from his whip range than you will actually shooting him. The fact he blocks your bullets with [[ImprovisedWeapon a door hatch]] also means he's hard enough to hit when he's standing still.

to:

** "Hawkeye" Hank Hatfield spends most of his fight jumping around and hiding behind crates while shooting at you. Not only that, he’s one of the few bosses to openly try to avoid your shots, making hitting him difficult. He’s only easy near the end of his fight when he stops using cover and just goes for it. He’s undoubtedly the hardest boss in the first half of the game.

** The way Billy idles around in back, blushing during the saloon girls' dance while all the other characters cheer on, front row center. Does he have a thing for one, or all of them and is too bashful to stick around? Has he already got a steady back home? Or is he just a butt-cowboy? Not really elaborated upon any further than that.

** Chief Scalpem. He can block BULLETS with a pair of knives, throw three at a time while jumping, and cut you down with them if you get too close. He's the least predictable boss in the game and is guaranteed to take more than a few lives from you unless you have lightning fast reflexes. The fact that he's also a KarmaHoudini only makes it worse.

** Sir Richard Rose. Sir Richard ''fucking'' Rose. When he's taking cover in his balcony, he can aim at you no matter where you are and his bullets are quick. Add in all the henchmen who keep showing up from all sides and filling the screen with shots, and you're guaranteed to be caught off-guard many times. Once Richard's cover is destroyed, he jumps down from it and begins to leap all over the screen while you try to chase him down with your bullets and dodge everyone's gunfire, which is an ''incredibly'' difficult task to pull off. Oh, and did we mention that once you beat Richard for the first time, the fucker does not die? He lies there for a while, making you think you're done with the game, then stands up, laughs at you, and throws off a steel plate he was wearing under his suit. Now you have to kill him '''all over again'''.
