Number 30

Mother Brain
Series: Metroid

Mother Brain (Super Metroid)

 Mother Brain is the Aurora Unit and Super Computer that is a high ranking member of the Space Pirates. Her origins are unknown, but she is speculated to either be an Aurora Unit hijacked and corrupted by the Space Pirates or a super-computer that was created by the Space Pirates. Her primary function is to organize the Space Pirate forces and bond with the Metroid species so that the Space Pirates can use them as bio-weapons against the Galactic Federation. In Super Metroid, she takes on a bipedal form to fight Samus, only being defeated when a baby Metroid turns on her and leaves her in a weakened state.

Number 29
Kremlings
Series: Donkey Kong

The Kremlings (Donkey Kong Country 2)

The Kremlings are a pack of bipedal crocodiles who are under the leadership of King K. Rool. These enemies have ransacked Donkey Kong's island multiple times and stolen his bananas, forcing the ape to have to team up with friends to stop them. They are one of the few villainous crews to actually be able to capture the protagonist of the series, and are one of the more memorable group of enemies in Nintendo.

Number 28
Twinrova
Series: The Legend of Zelda

Koume and Kotake (Ocarina of Time)

 Koume and Kotake, also known as Twinrova, are twin Gerudo sorceresses that appear in multiple Zelda titles. They always appear when the game has to do with Ganondorf, as they are his loyal minions and surrogate mothers, raising him in the dark arts from when he was a child. In Ocarina of Time, the sisters played a minor role as the villains of the Spirit Temple, but in Oracle of Ages and Seasons, they were behind the events of both games, using Veran and Onox in order to resurrect a fallen Ganon.

Number 27
Metroids
Series: Metroid

Metroid (Super Metroid)

 The Metroids are the powerful bioweapons that appear in the Metroid franchise. They were created by the Chozo in order to combat a parasite known as X. The Space Pirates tried to use these creatures to attack the Galactic Federation on multiple occasions, causing Samus Aran to go on a mission to exterminate the species entirely.

Series: Pokemon

Team Rocket (Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver)

Number 23
King Hippo
Series: Punch Out!!

King Hippo (Punch Out!!)

      King Hippo is the first boxer that Little Mac encounters who actually proves to be a BIG challenge. For fans of the series, you will remember that before the days of the internet when the game came out, it was frustrating to fight this guy, as you had no idea what to do. He would just throw punches at you and absorb any hit you gave. But once you figured out how to take this guy down, it was the sweetest feeling.

Number 22
Masked Man
Series: EarthBound
