I just get tired of seeing "Oh, you've stumbled across a miniature army of little goblin-slimes-bats. Kill them all, as they only serve to delay your quest."
As far as boss fights go, I'll be typing up how to beat one.
Colossus Number 7: Eel Colossus.
After going out on a suspended path over a lake, you discover that you have entered the lair of a colossus. Unfortunately, the colossus is nowhere to be found (mind you, unless you are using a guide you only know a little about this colossus.) You follow a stair case down a tower to get yourself on level with the lake. Still no colossus. So, you take out your sword and try to locate it. You swing it all around but the light isn't focusing enough to say "Oh, there it is." So, you aim it into the water. Bingo. Now that you have located it, you simply must find a way to bring it out of the water. With no clear way of doing this, the voice that has been guiding you on your quest advises that you take a swim. So you do. Naturally, you swim near the tower in case any nasties decide to jump out of the water and eat you. Suddenly, you hear a roar, a loud one. You swim back to the tower just in time to see the colossus poke it's head out of the water, followed by what appears to be 3 electrical barbs, one after the other, and finally, it's tail. You figure, ok, there's nowhere to grab a hold of it on it's head, and the 3 electrical barbs will just lead to death. So what do you do? You swim closer to the tower, and when the colossus notices you again, you get to the tower faster. You wait, and the colossus repeats it's surfacing technique. After the third barb, you leap forward, onto the colossus, grabbing it by it's tail. Mind you, this thing is, well, colossal. Very big, if that word means nothing to you. The tail pulls you under water, and you hold on with all you've got. Occasionally, the colossus will surface, since it can slightly hear you and can feel a slight tug on it's tail. When it does, you race forward, attempting to reach one of the weak spots under one of the barbs. You get close, but the colossus begins to dive. Making sure there is plenty of room between you and one of those barbs, you grab hold of the colossus and it pulls you under once more. Once it surfaces again, you rush forward and begin to stab the beast just underneath it's barb, shutting down the electricity. The colossus now realizes you are a threat, which is unfortunate since it will now dive more often. The creature begins to dive and coil under the water, in an attempt to throw you off, and surfaces briefly once more. You run forward, stab the weak spot praying you did enough damage to shut it down. To your relief it ceases to generate electricity. The colossus begins it's diving and attempts to throw you off more frantically, as you are getting ever closer to it's head and bringing it down. It surfaces, you rush forward, and stab with all your strength to shut down this last barb. By now your grip on the beast is slipping, and the small breaks when it surfaces are not nearly enough to restore your strength. The barb fails the beast, and your goal is practically in sight. The head of the colossus is all that stands between you and victory against this creature of the depths. It dives, you hold on with what little strength you have. The beast is frantic, trying to send you flying off it's back and into the depths. But your strength holds, and the beast surfaces. You race forward, and begin to drive your sword into it's skull. The monstrosity, now panicking greatly and one the verge of death, lets out a cry of pain. But it is a pointless cry, as now death for it is a necessity and mercy on the beast for you. One last time, you muster all your strength, and drive the sword into it's head. The beast lets out one last cry, and it's eyes go blank. You release your grip, as you now know that the beast is dead. It sinks into the lake, towards it's final resting place. You have succeeded in slaying your seventh colossus, and now only nine are left standing.

Well?
Bowling is still number one played game other than currently Paper Mario. Can't play Mario with friends, so the sports games rule.
