I think what makes him so terrifying is not the boss itself, but the arena. You're cornered and have to run for your dear life as this thing chases you and makes sounds of pure fear, and you don't know when it'll pop up when you run away or look for him, so you're almost always inches away from it catching you. Combine the fear of being chased down by a bloodthirsty ghost with that rock horror music, you've got one terrifying encounter. And I love it. I love levels that give off this type of fear, just pure tension and fear of being chased
OMG IT SCARES ME, TOO!!! I had to stand on the other side of the room with my cordless controller (which was a good 50 feet away from my TV) to fight him!
When I was 10 I couldn't get past the knuckles part were you collect the three keys cause of the ghosts and I couldn't play until iwas like 14 years pld
I hated this boss so much as a kid that I remember always trying to squeeze in that second hit before the darkness returned. I was never able to but we still beat him.
Most hardest, horrifying, annoying boss in Sonic Adventure 2 lol. As a kid it took me like 5 tries to get by this ghost. Now when I look at it, he's not that hard to beat, what was so hard was he scared me to death. Couldn't focus haha
I could never beat this guy because I was so scared of him when I was little. So my brother beat him. The bad part? I'm eighteen now and still can't beat him.
wimp. I beat him at the age of n9ne. my brother was e11even and he couldn't beat him after several tries. the next morning I beat king boom boo in 1ne try. numbered numbers lol
+MixZ and I told him "bitch! you don't fuck with the big man!" ok I admit the quote was false because I didn't know the f-bomb existed until I seen it in a bathroom stall at the theater at the age of e11even.
lol I was the brother my siblings turned to to beat this thing, but they used to have to beat the alien quest in Majora's Mask for me, so it pans out XD
AnjumSings This boss isn't hard to beat. Just dodge the fireballs that King Boom Boo throws, but don't go too far, too early. The right time to hit the ghost underneath the hourglass is while King Boom Boo is in the middle of breathing fire. Then, before the timer on the hourglass runs out, get underneath his shadow to dig him out, and then when he comes out, run after him, and land a hit on him. To be on the safe side, just do one hit at a time.
I don't know which one was scarier for me when I was a kid: This Ghost cause of the creepy sounds and laughing or the Egg Golem with his huge size, expressionless face and huge punches. The boss battles in the desert area were fucking creepy as hell when I was a kid.
I don't understand something how the hell did i beat this ghost at 3 years old and was never scared of him damn but looking back is so nostalgic i miss being little
I remember it took me a good 10 minutes to beat this thing as a kid, the first time anyway. eventually, I memorized his attacks and how many fire balls he throws. At full health until half, he throws 5. below half he throws 7. And once he's at half, he starts to go faster and you always got to run towards the pillar in the middle to run faster but not too fast otherwise you'll end up hearing "BRUUUUHBRUUH.. BRUHHHBRUHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" over and over again, which is annoying and still creeps me the fuck out today lmao so I make sure to not go too fast. The same running towards the pillar method works too when you have to dig him out of the ground, if you're able to perfect it, you can run fast enough to hit him 4 times in one go and beat him in a minute.
The part when he guards the timer and when he tries to eat you and when he say “HM HM HM HM HAHAHHAHAH!” IS FLIPPING CREEPY AND TERRIFYING I THOUGH KING BOO WAS SCARY LOOK AT HIM
Yes it is. Keep running after you attack him the first time. If you're closer to the center, then you will cover less distance, making it easier to catch him. Before any of this, you must dig in his shadow as soon as possible.
I thought this would be a easy boss since I was good at this game but EVERY time I try to hit the ghost with the hourglass it turns around 0_0 pretty terrifying if you ask ME
Wait until he starts spewing fire before going up behind him because the fight was twice as long than it needed to be. Despite me bitching 9 yrs l8erI love this vid, brings back nostalgia.
Eggman be like "eh, nice pyramid, I'll make it my base, do some cleaning, put some statues with my face right here, oh and there is a giant ghostly fish-looking thing in a hallway next to me, well I can get used to that"
Me and my friend were doing a blind play through of this as kids during a sleepover and figured let's beat it in one night so sleep deprived at 2 am when this guy showed up we were terrified.
The sounds he makes are terrifying.
Oh for gods, sake this is sonic not the krypt from mortal kombat!
Playa 144XD true
Rerverrrrrrt RERVERRRRRT
And he’s pretty hard to defeat. Those are the reasons I hate him!
the sounds he makes are just silly XD

I like it for that reason aswell and the fact knuckles has this look on his face like he just shit himself
That thing scared the **** out of me as a kid

The actually I found the little one's scary af because they do more jump scares and there face is horrific

mikemar14 I agree except biolizard was harder.
It only took me 1or 2 times to beat it
This stupid ghost made me want to rip my hair out after hearing the sound he makes when he turns around. Because I heard it so much
"What the.... a ghost?"
Proven right here, folks, Knuckles is scared of ghosts. XD
Can’t rightly blame him in this situation

That laugh is so chilling....I adore it so.
TheHolyBurger Easy for you to say😐
This big bastard scared the crap out of me as a kid, but he was my favourite (probably STILL favourite) sonic boss
THE BIG-LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!
Omochao: "The ghosts hate the sunlight! There must be a way to get some sunlight in here!"
Knuckles: "NO SH*T SHERLOCK!!!"
The ghost scared me as a kid...
This boss and the jumpscare ghosts being in almost every level are probably one of the most memorable things about this game.
Dude 2:05 literally scared the crap out of me XD
that scared me too
Scarpian Same with you man😔
Not really i just beat it on reicast and he ain't scary.
Not ashamed to say it, this boss scared me so bad as a kid I put the tv on mute, just to finally beat him.
Not ashamed to say that, even as a 17 year old today, I still get scared by it. I dunno man. This boss just has something on me.
Same!
Me too😂🎮🔇💯
scariest boss I've ever fought in video games.
yeah it creeps me out
Ever fought giygas???
The screenshot for this video was more frightening than the ghost.

Am I the only one that when he turns arpund, hears "BOOOM BOOO, BOOOM BOO"

As a kid this made me and my brother keel over with laughter we thought it was hilarious 😂😂😂
sounds like it's trying to barf, but it doesn't realize it has no stomach anymore.
I still feel laughable to know that I was scared to this boss when I was kid.
Same xD
Same here. Glad I wasn’t the only one who used to be scared of King Boom Boo back when I was a Kid from back in the 2000’s

if you run too fast, he comes up in front of you.
This boss reminds me of pacman. The hourglass is the powerup pellets, the ghost is well, the, ghost, Rings are normal pellets, And knuckles is pacman

“Brrrrphrrrr grrrrphrrrr! Kahahahahaha!”

Seriously, the guy who did the voice must’ve had fun with this minuscule role.

When he appears around the corner and makes that weird sound, all I hear is him calling for help. It gives me the chills.
dont really know why i was scared of this as a kid tbh
The part when he guards the timer and when he tries to eat you and when he say “HM HM HM HM HAHAHHAHAH!” IS FLIPPING CREEPY AND TERRIFYING I THOUGH KING BOO WAS SCARY LOOK AT HIM
Knuckles "ain't afraid of no ghosts", Lol
I've always liked the moment when you get behind him and then he turns around and makes that "urh-burh" sound.
King Boom Boo scared the crap outta me the first time I saw him. :o
I love the way Knuckles runs!
My favorite boss in this game! Even till this day, I feel unsettled while battling him.
as a kid every time he turned around a s**t my pants no joke
This boss freaked me the fuck out as a kid. I remember being scared as hell if it.
Waith a minute did Knuckles just say "ORA ORA" lol Jojo refference
I recently played this on steam and I felt chills down my spine as it got closer in its 3rd-5th stages.
But then that fear turned into hatred and I beat it
I had headphones in and I was doing an all nighter for my Chao garden ;-;
And somehow I got immersed in the game even though I had crappy keyboard controls
THAT DAMN CAMERA,I CANT DEAL HIM TEH FINAL HIT,CAUSE WHEN HE IS HIDING HE GOES TO THE EDGE OF TEH ARENA,AND THE CAMERA SUDDENLY CHANGES
Why are you talking like it's 2006

Family guy is awesome
Agreed. That trolling river can go to hell...
Dude i know right?! That fcking lizard was hard af! I spent like a year or so trying to beat him (i was a kid, obviously)
For some reason, I have scary bosses like, like this guy, as my imaginary friends when I was little so that I didn’t have to be scared of them
Holy crap! King Boom Boo is scarier than freakin' Sinistar! :O
this shit scared me when i first played this game.
This was the hardest boss for me when I played the game as a kid
Seriosly, nobody realizes that he litteraly says "Kill me"?
This battle is both hard and terrifying.
THAT SMALL GHOST KEEPS ON TATTLING ON ME SO I CANT GET BEHIND HIM
Is it even possible to hit him a second time back-to-back? I sure as hell always tried my best to do it.
Yes it is. Keep running after you attack him the first time. If you're closer to the center, then you will cover less distance, making it easier to catch him. Before any of this, you must dig in his shadow as soon as possible.
When I sa this boss I was shaking like a baby deer strait out of the womb
I can understand why this scared me still to this day
Honestly I wish I would’ve grown up with Nemesis instead
One of my favourite bossess in the series.
this is a brilliantly thought out boss battle
This is a strange boss a rainbowed mouth ghost with the voice of a zombie and the cackle of a witch.
I remember fighting King Boom Boo when I was 5 and once I beat him I wanted nothing more than to see him come back.
I'll never forget his grunts.
I still get chills when I fight him every time I play this game!! He scared the ever-living fuck outta me when I was a kid!!
God I remember this, it felt like it went on FOREVER
i remember watching this ghost on sonic x (and i imagine that i'm inside and i said that he smelled like fish) X)
King Boom Boo sounds like the lead singer of Brokencyde.
Why does King Boom Boo remind me of Whisper from Yo Kai Watch and he scares me more in the anime
The fight would have been 2 minutes shorter if it wasn't for dat camera disorientating the player whenever the ghost is hiding inside the floor/walls.
I thought this would be a easy boss since I was good at this game but EVERY time I try to hit the ghost with the hourglass it turns around 0_0 pretty terrifying if you ask ME
You can also hear the ghost whispering "who's there"
I remember always just watching one of my friends playing this. The sound he makes has stuck with me for years! I was so scared always of the sounds 🙈
King Boom Boo brought me here.
thx i got stuck on this level, You helped me out
I love it when the ghost is on the wall, then dive bombing him afterwards. It always made me feel like an eagle catching its prey haha
Wait until he starts spewing fire before going up behind him because the fight was twice as long than it needed to be. Despite me bitching 9 yrs l8erI love this vid, brings back nostalgia.
I absolutely LOVE this guy's voice.
When it went in to super speed when getting too close was terrifying

i used to be so scared of this guy, still kinda scared of him too, but when he turns around and talks its too funny.
The music in this boss made me feel like a legend fighting this boss lol
What scared me most of this boss is when he’s chomping his teeth and chasing you.
One of the best Boss in Sonic history... :)
Even now while I’m no longer a child, this boss still makes me crap my pants.
i like this song and boss fight
Uh..no 2:16 was a dead on it. Incivility cheat activated
