13 Most Difficult Boss Fights From The 1990s

Cortex – Crash Bandicoot

Beating Cortex in the final battle of Crash Bandicoot sounds easy. All you have to do is hit him five times. Simple, right? Unfortunately, this has to be done by deflecting his own energy bolts back at him over several rounds. Each round sees him firing several different kinds of bolts with their speed and patterns changing as the fight progresses. Though more about pattern recognition than anything else, it still takes some time to get things down perfectly and send him packing.
