just as Nintendo has spawned some of
gaming’s most noble and memorable heroes
so to as it created enduring antagonists
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 Nintendo villains
number 10
DJ Octavio split – neither a squid nor a
kid yet he can drop dem beats DJ Octavio
serves as the final boss in the
single-player portion of splatoon though
more specifically he’s the leader of the
tentacle shaped octarians antagonizing
the player controlled Inklings Octavio’s
appearance as an irate octopus wearing
an ornate helmet walks a fine line
between adorable and intimidating
meanwhile his tactics of firing octopus
themes torpedos missiles a built-in
killer whale weapon and flat-out going
ballistic when the squid sisters start
singing I’ll help him become a seriously
threatening boss character number nine
Hades
Kid Icarus Uprising I’ve been so looking
forward to your arrival if you have
malevolence is rarely so charming
introduced partway through Kid Icarus
Uprising Hades positions himself as an
aloof and vaguely affable villain
finding enough time to make sarcastic
and flirtatious remarks next to me miss
with deuces going to look like a sweet
cuddly bar man as the game comes to a
close
Hades is true cruelty begins to surface
just as his physical form becomes more
grotesque and unusual even then he’s as
skilled and matching wits with his foes
as he is in his use of magic and
hand-to-hand techniques in combat and he
proved to be devious in his mecha
nations for instance he set in motion
the conflict of the original Kid Icarus
game classy this is Air Force retired
station huh
Hey number eight King Dedede Kirby
series
it’s surprising how much nuance and
complexity can be wrought out of a
penguin with a hammer but that’s where
things stand out with King Dedede the
debatable ruler of dreamland and a
leader of the waddle Dee’s initially set
up as the adversary of the pink hero
kirby dee dee dee walks a fine line
between providing comedic relief and
undergoing significant development hey
you see look at how I feed my hungry
little Scott can’t get more responsible
than that huh
he shifts from self-interested
antagonist into something of a
well-intentioned extremist even aiding
and appreciating Kirby’s efforts at
times plus when things get a bit too
heavy he can always be counted on to
lighten the mood you all pull up all ian
and come here two dead number seven
fawful Mario and Luigi series
he has fury and he wants you to know it
fawful first appeared in Mario and Luigi
superstar saga as the servant of the
villain kak Letta standing out with his
use of broken English and food-themed
analogies however it was only in
bowser’s Inside Story that gamers were
greeted to fossils true villainy as he
said about undermining the Mushroom
Kingdom and relying on his extensive
mechanical skills two terrifying effect
furthermore his showmanship and
recurring emotional outbursts ensures
that every scene with fawful is chuckle
worthy at the very least
number six and Ross Star Fox series I’ve
been looking forward to this day to see
you again fox mccloud
it’s beings like this that give science
a bad name
though he was first glimpsed by players
as a polygonal face in the original Star
Fox game later games would establish
Andros as a creepy monkey a scientist
whose desire to experiment had gone off
the rails pretty much the equivalent of
Zordon from the Power Rangers except
evil of course Andrew said about leading
an army to conquer the lylat system
killing fox McLeod’s father in the
process the element of a personal
vendetta coupled with his incredible
resistance to near-death experiences
gives an draw some menacing presence
shared by few number-5 gigas mother
series with a name like the embodiment
of evil there is no doubting such a
villains nature also known as guy gay in
earthbound 0 this being is an alien who
was initially intent on retaking the
power of SCI from humanity although he
soon shifted gears into spreading
darkness and evil across the cosmos
his malevolent nature was tempered by
his past love for his human parents in
the first mother game but by the events
of earthbound gigas has transformed just
as important as his commitment to
all-out devastation is his unsettling
form Gaius gradually grows less
corporeal as the player faces him
eventually being visualized as an
unintelligible horror number four K rool
Donkey Kong Country series he’s been a
regal King a pirate captain and a mad
scientist and all of them are rather
mean King K rool adopts many an alias in
pursuit of one goal to ruin the Kong
family take care of his pathetic friends
key rules name being a pun on cruel it’s
understandable that he’d be relentless
in his efforts to crush Donkey Kong and
company yet kay rule is also a harsh
commander to his followers greedily
covets the Kong’s banana hoard and he
can use his swiftness and physicality to
challenge foes in a straight-up fight
I’m sure you’re right
number three ridley metroid series an
ally of the malicious AI mother brain
ridley is no pushover himself even in
terms of visual design Ridley is
monstrous
he resembles a skeletal dragon with
dashes of pterodactyl physiology made
more unsettling by his piercing eyes
that’s not all there is to him though
he’s also a key member of the villainous
space pirates pillaging and causing
mayhem all across the galaxy proving
surprisingly intelligent and showing
expertise in robotics Ridley balances
ingenuity with sheer ruthlessness best
exemplified by his murder of samus
aran’s parents in front of a
three-year-old samus now that’s just
dark
number two Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda
series so long as there is a Triforce of
power there lies Ganondorf waiting to
use it for evil one of the rare male
members of the Giroux race Ganondorf
also known as Ganon has long posed a
threat to the land of Hyrule his command
of magic is nearly unparalleled granting
him such abilities as transforming into
a pig form resistance to injury and
sheer physical strength unfortunately
all this talent is married to a cruel
and greedy being who grows increasingly
world weary and possibly envious of
others inner nobility with each
installment topped off by his imposing
demeanor it’s easy to see his grim
appeal before we get to our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one Bowser
Mario series commanding his son Bowser
jr. and the seven Koopalings the king of
the Koopas has never ceased to embody
simple straightforward and taggin ism
Bowser visually resembling a cross
between a turtle and a dragon has
opposed the mario brothers from the very
beginning working to kidnap Princess
Peach and undermine her kingdom
ill tempered and fierce King Bowser is
as willing to fight in direct combat as
he is to let his minions do battle on
his behalf
perhaps more importantly Bowser is
malleable enough in nature to adopt more
amicable or neutral roles while still
posing a direct physical threat when the
time comes but all that’s not as
important as the fact that well it’s
Bowser who else could have we picked do
