The Man-at-Legs is possibly one of my favorite bosses ever because the only reason it's effective is because nothing else in the game is at all like this. We've been built to believe that this world has been overrun by organic creatures, with slight remnants of humanity scattered about. That makes this shocking, sadistic twist a TERRIFIYING encounter because what you've been taught the entire game has been flipped on its head. Not to mention, you also get shot with real bullets, and aside from Bayonetta and Joker in Smash Bros, I cannot recall a single instance where real bullets were fired in a Nintendo game.
You know what I think makes this boss good? The situation it’s in. 3 of its legs are real. When it’s shell opens, you can hear a sound and see this fleshy substance sticking to the sides.
man at legs: There’s only one tool you need for gardening, and I’ve got it. Mamuta: It’s a hammer. Bulborb: it will be a hammer- ITS NOT A HAMMER!!!! Man at legs: THIS. acquires gun*
*Pikmin sound effect* Bulborb: -It's what you do! Man-At-Legs: Okay, now let me show you how I would remove it okay? See these three here? Ready- *Gun*
I love the mix of mechanical and electronic sounds in with the more "organic" regular instrumentation of the theme, fits the giant cyborg spider perfectly. I also like how it's more aggressive-sounding than the other remix of the boss theme you did, especially the Subterranean Complex version with that deep drone at the start and during quieter sections
Man at legs actions according to the music in-game: *Boss intro* *Main boss theme* *Big attack* *Boss defense* *Big attack* *Boss defense* *Big attack* *Boss defense* *Big attack* *Boss defense* *Boss defeated or Pikmin extinction*
Oh my god. I’m in love. I can’t even express how amazing this is. Spectacular work. …do you take commissions? 😂 - Edit: Actually now that I think of it, could I use this in my upcoming Pikmin 2 gameplay series? Obviously you’ll be credited, but I figured I should ask for permission first :)
@@thevenomspino The Arachnorb itself just wants to be left alone, and the machine at least honors THAT directive. The machine only acts to defend it from threats.

@@ramilomin You know, I figured there HAD to be another game, I just didn't think it would be so obvious.
In the description of it in the piklopedia it says there was some organic being being forced against its will to attack by the robo part
This is true
It fire energy bursts

Manuta: Is that a hoe?
(Breaks into laughter)
No, it isn’t.
No. If you want to *remove* a plant, how do you get them up?
Bulborb: Well, you *munch* *munch* and there it is.
Man-At-Legs: That took you…?
Bulborb: About 30 seconds.
Man-At-Legs: Dirty fingernails.
Bulborb: It-
Man-At-Legs: Cricked back.
*Pikmin sound effect*
Bulborb: -It's what you do!

i love how this boss info says the arachnorb is actually peaceful but the gun is actually what is hostile i guess guns really do kill people lol
I pictured this song with a raging and man at legs hybrid shooting deathstar beams. Absolute perfection
😆
That would be a *literal nightmare* to fight.

man at legs is such a cool name, still not sure what it means though. i guess it just means gun with legs
Its a turn on the phrase “Man At War” but as it is a spider like creature, they made it legs.
It’s like man at arms, but at legs
@@SCSlime99 wasn’t it man at arms?
Play on “man at arms,” which is an armed soldier in war typically, but this is a spider so its has no arms, only legs
very good remix bro

Man at legs actions according to the music in-game:
*Boss intro*
*Main boss theme*
*Big attack*
*Boss defense*
*Big attack*
*Boss defense*
*Big attack*

*Big attack*

*Boss defeated or Pikmin extinction*
Yup, I think that's right...
@@Tazerboy_10 yep[
The time stamps broke
Hole of Heroes should've harder versions of bosses instead of changing the environment but I guess that counts
Not being allowed to use Purples is a difficulty increase in itself
@@alexanderharrison7421it’s really not
its in the kitien with the final part in olmar 4th death ting in minmin 4. it has plates as war barrier tings. its the final boss war!
Oh my god. I’m in love. I can’t even express how amazing this is. Spectacular work.
…do you take commissions? 😂

Sure! Thanks for the compliment!
Still wondering how man-at-legs got that robotic stuff, but i think the actual spider is not in control of their actions but the "ai" is
Olimar's piklopedia notes state that the technology fused with the man at legs somewhere in the spider's development.
And it confirms that the arachnorb itself is friendly, but the machine part of it is always hostile.

I think man at leg should’ve been the Final boss what do you think?
they'd have to make it a little more powerful, if you rush it with purples you can literally kill it in like 2 cycles
Yea It would be more reasonable because it has Armor
Way too easy of a fight
😲
