Boss

Bosses are enemies that appear in Smash Hit. They are exclusive only to Mayhem Mode, and do not appear in any other Game Modes.

When a boss is encountered, they will hover in front of the player, and will periodically retract back. In this process, the boss will shoot small glass cubes (from its cannon) at the player, which can be destroyed by throwing balls at them. The only way to defeat a boss is to destroy all of the glass sides, except for the cannon (indestructible) that shoots the cubes.

Once destroyed, the boss will collapse and fall (smoke also is emitted from the cannon). Only when the boss is destroyed (the room shakes) may the player proceed to the next checkpoint.

Overview
Every checkpoint in Mayhem will have its own segment specifically for the boss fight. More than one boss can appear in one boss fight, and some fights also have a ring of Glass Panes to shield the bosses.

Types
Within the boss segment, a sequence of crystals will precede the fight, and sometimes afterwards, with the exception of Checkpoints 2 and 5.
 * Single-cell bosses are comprised of only one cell, and are relatively easy to destroy. They have five glass sides.
 * Triple-cell bosses are comprised of three cells. These bosses are harder to destroy than single-cell bosses due to more glass (13 glass sides).
 * Quintuple-cell bosses are comprised of five cells. These bosses have the most glass (21 glass sides) on them thus are hardest to destroy. They have

Notable Boss Fights

 * In Checkpoint 8 (Armored), the boss will fire less cubes as they have more defense over offense.
 * At checkpoint 7, there is a special boss which looks like a Quintuple boss, but shoots like a Single-cell boss (Three cubes). (This reverted the rule of the boss, which is more cells, defense over offense.)
 * At checkpoint 6, there are 3 single-cell bosses (Triple Trouble)
 * At checkpoint 3, there is a triple cell boss.

Artwork

 * Their glass resembles the color to the stage, which will [not really] help to camouflage themselves.
 * Apparently, the cannon where the boss shoots cubes do not resemble the color, just a full shade of black.
 * When the glass is smashed, it changes to a grey color.

Trivia

 * The cells of glass can be the energy provider of the boss, as destroying all the cells causes the boss to lose its ability to hover and fight back.


 * Quintuple-cell bosses tend to like laze behind the triple-cell boss, this might be affected by the "Big Brother is Watching You" effect.
 * White is Up Black is Down Boss Checkpoint 3 and Checkpoint 6 Boss.
