YMMV / Skullman In: Scooby Doc 4: The Destroyer (Featuring Atsushi Onita)

• Best Boss Ever: For his boss fight alone, Atsushi Onita deserves his spot as the subtitle antagonist. He constantly keeps you on your toes by throwing fluorescent lights, creating rising fires, and disappearing to create shadow clones — but, naturally, this can lead to some dispute about difficulty, see That One Boss below. What's almost undeniable, though, is the sheer Catharsis Factor when you finally tough him out; he dies a Mega Man X4-style death, creating a Post-Defeat Explosion Chain as beams of light flood the screen. Purified, concentrated awesome.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Even in a game as random and wild as this, there are certain moments that come and go without progressing the game any further than it would without them:
  • The Dustman lookalike at the very start of the game, one of the only characters to engage in actual conversation, explodes mere seconds after his debut, and Skullman shrugs off his encounter with him just as quickly as the game does.
  • While the Cutscene Bosses (Crank, Spiderman, and A Truck) will always kill Skullman, he will respawn in the hub level, where the next boss will be waiting for him as if nothing ever happened.
• Breather Boss: Done on purpose right after you beat the Mega Man 2 Stage Select boss- you get attacked by Slamman, a weird basketball player with an uncanny head who throws basketballs at you while spouting NBA Jam lines. Not only do the basketballs completely miss you if you’re standing directly in front of him, but he has a very low HP bar, allowing you to quickly end the fight.
• That One Boss:
  • Redskull is your first major challenge. He fires out giant homing fireballs, then uses some homing shots, and then uses some almost-undodgeable lasers. Whilst you can use the Seeker Missiles to make it somewhat easier, it won't do you much.
  • The core of Albatross. Not only is it the boss of a very hard shoot-em-up level, the fight essentially boils down to Bullet Hell. Oh, and if you destroy it, you need to dodge one last attack from him that is a One-Hit Kill no matter what.
  • Atsushi Onita, the penultimate boss, can be a true hair puller. His attacks (throwing fluorescent lights at you, sending down a lightning bolt to cause fire to appear, and dropping crosses on you) are completely random, not helped by the fact the shadow teleportation attack is random as well, and the fact that the fluorescent lights cause an eight-way projectile when they explode.
• That One Level: Of the two shoot-em-up levels, Albatross, the second one, is by far the hardest. Tight gaps, almost hard-to-avoid enemies (which are invincible by the way), and to top it off, a very difficult fight with the ship's core.
