The Importance of Being FurnaceAlong with Tryclyde, Mouser, Clawgrip, and Birdo, FryGuy is one of the five recurring bosses in the world of Subcon. Super Mario Bros. 2 was a drastically different game from its predecessor (for obvious reasons), and one of the most notable changes was the variety of the bosses faced by the player. As opposed to repeated King Koopas and the occasional Hammer Bro., SMB2 featured a colorful cast of villains. Mouser may have been cooler, and Birdo more ground-breaking, but FryGuy allows me to use the extremely witty subtitle I concocted.
One should take into account that FryGuy existed at a time before ember particle effects and heat haze distortion. Yet he still managed to convey the essence of spreading flames through his tendency to split into mini-FryGuys before being completely extinguished. All in all, a very memorable boss from my developmental gaming days.
