Top 10 Easiest First Bosses in Video Games
-
Whispy Woods (Kirby)
There is literally only one game where he isn't pathetic, and that's Planet Robobot. In Planet Robobot, he is actually kind of hard. But he is still easy enough to defeat. Literally the easiest first boss I've ever fought.
It doesn't really matter what ability, what character, or what game you're playing (except Return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe, and possibly Crystal Shards), you're still fighting a tree. An evil tree, but a tree nonetheless.
At least the Flowery Woods battle is kind of creative. Correction, it's the most creative Whispy Woods boss fight.

Egg Mobile D (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
Bro, 2-year-olds can beat this boss. A total joke.
-
Kicker Skeleton (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow)
Hit him a few times, move out of the way of his ridiculously slow bone club. If he is going to shoot you with a fireball (which he gives almost a five-second warning to), hold crouch and keep stabbing it. This is a game that everyone should play by the way.

Egg-HVC-001 (Sonic CD)
It's a mech that can walk back and forth, and occasionally charge at you. What does it have for weapons? Well, it has some spikes on its metallic boots (which can't touch you if you stay on the left half of the screen), and it has two rod-like arms that it holds in front of you, which have harmless bumpers on them.
To defeat it, stay on the left half of the screen, and wait for the mech to begin to charge at you. Then, jump at the hull of the mech (the bumpers do not guard it when it is preparing to charge at you) to damage it, destroying one of the bumpers, making it easier to attack it once more. A second hit will destroy the last bumper, rendering Dr. Robotnik (the one piloting the mech) helpless. The third hit will cause the mech to fall to the ground and explode. Dr. Robotnik, defeated, will retreat by jetpack, allowing you to complete this zone with no more resistance.

Bob the Goldfish (Earthworm Jim 2)
At least the number one tries to kill you. What does Bob do? He sits there in his bowl. Jim eats him. You don't even have to do anything. Bob gets eaten immediately after the 'fight' starts.

Napstablook (Undertale)
Napstablook is a secondary character from Toby Fox's 2015 RPG Undertale. He is a melancholic ghost and the cousin of Mettaton, who left to pursue fame. Napstablook is characterized by his low self-esteem and depressive personality, often staying at home and enjoying music.
I beat this boss in less than a minute.
Napstablook is so easy to defeat.

Bowser (New Super Mario Bros.)
Bowser is the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. franchise. From kidnapping Princess Peach to disrupting games in the Mario Party spinoff series, this king of the Koopas has become a recurring enemy in the series. He first appeared in the 1985 video game Super Mario Bros., in which he kidnapped Princess... read more
Dude, I can beat this boss with my eyes closed.
Bowser is so easy in old Mario games.
-
Tolstar (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)
One of my favorite things about this game is how relaxing it usually is to play. Tolstar, the first boss, proves this with his easy-to-dodge attacks, hints he gives on how to dodge them, and surprisingly low attack and HP.
