  I really don't get the Nintendo bosses. Or the games really. Maybe if I was 10 or 11, they would be interesting, but they're just too damn goofy.

  Recommendation when doing series like this: add an annotation slide near the beginning linking to previous/future videos in the series.

      Ah, but if it's part of a series, there's usually a link slide near the beginning, specifically around where he was talking about the previous entries in the series.

  Undertale has some excellent boss battles, although even naming them would be huge spoilers
