Boss Blitz

***Boss Blitz*** is an umbrella game for the Nintendo Switch and Pharo. As the game's title suggests, it is based around battling bosses, and is based on games themed around it like *Shadow of the Colossus* and *Cuphead*. The game's name is based off of the Boss Blitz Galaxy from *Super Mario Galaxy 2*.

## Plot

The story begins in deep space, showcasing planets of different colors, representing the home planets of characters from different franchises. However, a strange force begins pulling the planets together. The residents of these planets notice and begin panicking. Eventually, the planets collide into each other, creating a massive cluster. At this point, a mysterious alien villain, under the name Empress Xzal, appears and uses her powers to call several powerful beings of these planets to her aid. They begin terrorizing the residents, allowing Xzal to rule over this new world easily. However, a small group of heroes from each of the planets, known as "The Resistance", with the aim to take down Xzal and her cronies.

## Gameplay

Throughout the game, the player will be controlling a group of heroes as they travel to various regions from the planets, defeating Empress Xzal's minions. All of the bosses must be defeated in one area in order to move onto the next. During battles, the player takes control of one character as they fight alongside four other AI or player-controlled characters as they team up to defeat the boss. Boss battles play much like those from *Cuphead* and the *Kirby* series, where they go through multiple phases as their health dwindles. After being finally defeated, all the damages to the town the bosses caused will be fixed, and they will revert back to normal (albeit can still be battled again). Defeating all of the bosses in one region allows the player to move onto the next.

In each region, players can go to Rusty Slugger's shop to purchase items. These can range from Super Hearts that can add to the player's health or a new attack that a character can use. Inuji Darumenshi is also found in the various regions, owning training regimens where players can recruit new characters to b the Resistance. Rusty and Inuji's services can be baught via Coins awarded from defeating the bosses.

### Mushroom Region

 Phase 2
 Phase 3
Robirdo will begin short-circuiting on its last leg of health. This grants it two new attacks; spewing streams of fire as it moves from one side of the arena to the other and using rockets to propel it upward as it drops explosives below. Aside from that, Robirdo's charging attack is even faster now, it will only spew fireballs and not eggs, aand its earthquake attack now causes a shockwave that deals damage. After all of its health is gone, Robirdo will fall apart as smoke comes out.
