[hfield]

the birds in ninja gaiden are easily number one for me

[MeanSpiritedDuck]

Any bird in any NES game. They are always the worst

[platypusfox]

The hammer Brothers in Mario will always be the bane of my existence.

"These jumping guys in Contra. Like, why are you so happy" lol.

[silkk]

The jumping guys in Contra were just getting ready for present day Call of Duty.

hunchback - Castlevania
birds - Ninja Gaiden
Red Devil - Ghosts N Goblins

[mattb]

Almost every enemy in TMNT1..they all respawn as soon as the camera nudges off their spawn location screen a bit then returns.

For me, it's the Eggplant Wizards in Kid Icarus. I'd finally figure out the way to get to the boss in the level and get hit by the eggplant wizards and have to find the nurse.

[RetroRivals]

Because it’s what I’m playing at the moment, the eggplant in Adventure Island. It depletes your health meter and if you can’t collect fruit fast enough, you die! A lot of the enemies in this game make me wanna rage!
Castlevania, yes! Ugh!
Fantastic list of baddies.

Most annoying : Everything flying or crawling in Battle of Olympus. In fact, almost all enemies are annoying in some way in that game. And I still love it.

The Darknuts from the first Zelda get my vote

[forrestwright]

Those little midget dudes in Kung Fu. If you are crouching when they appear, they'll jump on your head and cause damage. You can avert this by just standing up, but you then can get hit by the knife throwing guy. Grrrr!

[jeremytheloner]

For me, it would have to be the birds in the original Ninja Gaiden.

- Lakitu
- Snapping mouths on Hard Man stage in MM3
- Worms in Blaster Master (especially red ones)
- Both those frogmen mutants in sewers in Batman, and robots in caves
- Eggplant wizard in Kid Icarus
- Mousers in TMNT2
...
could probably think of many more

Megaman 2, those flat guys with two eyes that move faster when you are on their platform and then turn into spring things. So annoying. I remember them on Metal Man's stage, but I believe they are elsewhere too.

[soltydog]

Bats/birds seemed to be the enemy they put in an NES game when they ran out of ideas on what to throw at the player.

[Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Everyone knows if it's not the Boss Mike Tyson, then it's the birds in Ninja Gaiden that's got you throwing NES controllers!

[bucksatanII]

The dog heads in Zelda 2 that keep respawning in the later dungeons annoy the hell outta me

[saucywalnutz]

I thought you were gonna mention Phantos (the relentless and overly-dramatic psycho masks from Super Mario 2) but yes, good list!

[SuperNicktendo]

The little jumping bricks in Mario 3. Hidden bricks and then blamo. It’s alive
