New Super Mario Bros Series

While there are no bosses in this series who are really, really annoying (they are all more or less rush bosses who go down quickly), Wendy O. Koopa in New Super Mario Bros. 2 has shades of this. Most of the time the arena is under water, so you can't hurt her unless you have some projectile power-up. Meanwhile, all she does is jumping around, she never uses her wand whatsoever, and there are several cheep-cheeps swimming and hopping around. These cheep-cheeps are almost more dangerous to the player than Wendy herself. Depending on the timing of the rising and receding water, you may spend a minute or so swimming around and avoiding contact damage. For 2D Super Mario platformers, this is already an unusually long and boring boss fight. But does it qualify for a Goddamned Boss when compared to other video games?

Well, she's annoying, but it's essentially an harmless waiting game compared to ones in the other platformers.
