N. Boss victory (N.boss is on the right.)
N. Boss is the final boss of ClayFighter and ClayFighter: Tournament Edition. His name is a pun, poking fun at both M. Bison from Street Fighter 2 and the phrase "End Boss." His stage is the N.Boss' Residence, a modified version of Blob stage, Blob's World.
Description[]
He appears to be a ring of beads or bubbles with a pair of googly eyes floating overhead. When he loses, he doesn't lie down, he frowns as some of his beads lay on the ground (meaning that his teeth have been knocked out). In his victory pose he grins in victory.
His attacks consist of strangling you and flinging every projectile in the game at you. Blue Suede Goo's Humming attack, Bonker's Pie throw, Bad Mr. Frosty's Frozen Fist, you name it, he's got it. Not only this, but when he's close, he made a grab that can drain you good part of your energy, being even more dangerous having close of him. He's the only character that the announcer doesn't say his name, this leads most people to believe he was added in last minute.
His stage is set on the meteor that crashed into Playland. He was defeated by Tiny in canon, and was never seen or heard from again after the first game.
Trivia[]
- N. Boss is the only character of the game with no dialogs nor voices, barely he has the sound FX of the projectiles he throws and that's all.
- He is the only character that wasn't made of clay in the game, looking like a pixelated 3D character in a game full of plastiline figures. Various people think he was made rushed for the game as the final boss and wasn't planned as character.
- N. Boss is considered the first unlockable character of the series, since he can be playable thanks to a bug and only in Vs. Mode. This bug was solved in ClayFighter: Tournament Edition, but this probably got the idea of Interplay to unlock the bosses in the next games (evil clones in C2, Boogerman, Sumo Santa and Dr. Kiln in 63 1/3.)
- SNES and Genesis versions of N. boss are very different. The SNES version is the one all know, but Genesis version has some differences, like the eyes are constantly rolling and he only shoots silver spheres as the way he was made instead of projectiles from other characters.
- Being forgotten though the years, the fangames reinvindicated him, with Ultra ClayFighter re-adding him as playable character and with a complete redesign and new moves and the April Fools version Basara-kun made for M.U.G.E.N (edited from Shadowtak's version) will become an official character for ClayFighter: Infinite Clayfare fullgame.
