Castle Crashers Boss Rush REVIVED

Castle Crashers Boss Rush REVIVED is a mod created by Lexicord, the creator of the Vs. Cheeky mod, that implemented several recognizable bosses from the game Castle Crashers as opponents. The bosses are the Barbarian Champion, the Recyclops/Undead Cyclops & the Undead Groom, the Ice King, the Painter, Necromancer, and the Evil Wizard. The mod takes place over the course of a single week in true boss rush fashion, structured so that each boss has a single song with unique backgrounds and scenery in order to best recreate what made encountering them so memorable in Castle Crashers.

There are several costumes you can unlock, you get the purple and pink armor by beating the entire boss rush, the Bob one by typing "ONSLAUGHT"  on the title screen. You can get the Iceskimo skin by renaming the Iceskimo skin files (BOYFRIENDICESKIMO.png and xml) to the pre-selected skin, BOYFRIENDKNIGHT.png, and renaming the original BOYFRIENDKNIGHT files to BOYFRIENDICESKIMO.png and xml.

Enemies
{{#tag:tabber| {{!}}-{{!}}Barbarian Champion= {{Character|headercolor=#6D6A46|name=Barbarian Champion{{Icon|BarbarianChampion|50}}|image=BarbChampionAnim.gif|icons=Barbarian Champion Icons.png|gender=Male|eyes=White|species=Human|voiced by=Banbuds}} The Barbarian Champion is the first boss in Castle Crashers. He is a very large, muscular barbarian that might be presumably the leader of the Barbarians, or at least their best warrior. In the original game, he enters from the right of the screen by knocking down a door, flattening a beefy barbarian. Seems this Barbarian wants to show Boyfriend how a real barbarian fights! Lets just hope that one of the other Barbarians don't take the GF during the battle...

Appearance
The Barbarian Boss carries a massive spiked heavy-shield attached to his back, and has a brown skin suit, with a helmet on, and a strap, attaching to the shield.

Gameplay Mechanics
Whenever you miss a note a crowd of barbarians will pop up in front of the screen cheering your loss, possibly making you miss even more due to the distraction.

Trivia

 * Despite his other name the "Barbarian Boss", there is nothing in the game to suggest that he serves as the leader of The Barbarians. However, it is more likely the "boss" part of his title is meant in the traditional video game sense (as in "the most powerful enemy you fight at the end of the level").
 * In Castle Crashers, when The Barbarian Boss smashes the player into the ground with his shield slam attack, he will laugh at the player. This is known as a Par, as the boss has violated the player, and then proceeds to laugh in their face.
 * It's unknown what he looks like under the mask.

 * -|The Cyclops/Recyclops & Groom=

The Undead Cyclops, or sometimes "Recyclops," is the second of the four final bosses in the original game. He is the reincarnation of the Cyclops boss seen earlier in-game on the Cyclops' Fortress level. Since the BF killed the Conehead Groom, his buddy, by complete accident, a now revived Cyclops is majorly pissed, and wants the Boyfriend to be done away with.

Appearance
Visually, he is slightly different from the original Cyclops. Patches of skin appear to have been melted away, and his eye has been replaced with magma.

Trivia

 * The Undead Cyclops is also referred to as the Vengeful Cyclops.
 * The Undead Cyclops carrying a coffin when fighting him is a reference to the graveyard escape scene in Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, where the T-800 carries a coffin with John Connor inside it.

 * -|The Painter=

The Painter is the first of the Four Final Bosses in the original game. Known to be one of the more bizarre enemies of Castle Crashers, very little is known about this being, other than that he works for the Evil Wizard and has a toolbox for a head. He also wields a paint brush to paint things. This paint box has seen Boyfriend go, and is hoping to stop him! Will Painter paint him into a corner, or will Boyfriend's mic be mightier than his brush?

Appearance
Painter has a toolbox for a head, as well as a white cap. They also have a white smock-frock, with blue, green, and pink splatters. They have a purple vest under it, as well as white gloves, and white stubby legs.

Gameplay Mechanics
Sometimes, paintings made by the Painter will pop up in front of the screen, blocking your view of the notes.

Trivia

 * The music played during the Painter's battle in Castle Crashers, The Show by Waterflame, is referenced in Smudgy.
 * Painter might be a possible reference to Paint Roller of Kirby's Adventure, Adeline of Kirby and the Crystal Shards, or Drawcia from Kirby Canvas Curse, as they all use paintings to try to defeat their foes.
 * Painter's minions are actually concept sketches by Tom Fulp, the man behind Newgrounds.
 * Out of all characters in the Castle Crashers, Painter has the most dialogue. The dialogue speech used is a text-to-speech voice called "Boing", which is only accessible on Mac OS X computers.
 * That said text-to-speech voice is also used for Splaat's voice (Klasky Csupo).
 * Painters mic has a scribble effect, signifying that he painted it.
 * It seems like Painters song was supposed to have "Fake Notes" as seen in the games files, but was scrapped.

 * -|The Ice King=

The Ice King is one of the Evil Wizard's loyal minions. The Ice King is located in the Ice Castle. He is the last boss before the final four bosses in Wizard Castle Interior and Final Battle. He was the third boss planned in the original boss rush, but the fourth in the revive. Just like the original game, he constantly laughs and points at BF.

Appearance
The Ice King is a tall humanoid creature with dark cyan skin. He wears a crown made of ice, a royal blue outfit with a cape and black pants with what appear to be metal snow boots. He is almost visually identical to how he appears in Castle Crashers. The only noticeable difference being that he is more bulky.

Gameplay Mechanics
In certain parts of the song, Ice King will freeze your inputs, making them useless. In order to break out, you have to press the spacebar three times.

Trivia

 * He's an another character to say "haha!" mid-song, similar to Skid and Pump, and Tord.
 * In his original concept art he was supposed to be laughing in all note poses except Up, this was changed in the revive.

 * -|Necromancer=

The "Necromancer" is possibly the most strongest subordinate the Evil Wizard has, and is the last of the 4 final bosses before you fight the Evil Wizard in the base game. In this mod, he is the 5th song in the boss rush, wanting BF taken down before he can reach his master. Will he succeed?

Appearance
The Necromancer is a humanoid being who wears silver shoes, dark grey armor, wings, and a cylinder helmet with demon-like horns, his eyes seem to be red, signifying that he might not be human. He looks identical to his debut appearance in Castle Crashers.

Gameplay Mechanics
From time to time, Necromancer will strike down lightning upon you, before that an alert on screen and a sound cue will pop up alerting you to press spacebar to avoid the attack.

Trivia

 * Fittingly, he comes right before the Evil Wizard fight in the boss rush, just like in the original game.


 * -|Evil Wizard=

The Evil Wizard is the final opponent in the Castle Crashers Boss Rush revive, just like in the original game.

Appearance
The Evil Wizard appears extremely similar to his base form in Castle Crashers, with the only noticeable difference being the point of his hat being more round. Likewise, his spider form appears similar to his original spider form.

Gameplay Mechanics
In Subjugation, the Evil Wizard will constantly move the strikelines around in an attempt to confuse the BF, and will occasionally hide the healthbar, score and accuracy from view. In Arachnophobia, the screen will shake whenever the Evil Wizard hits a note.
