Yellow Devil[edit]
Someone keeps adding the Yellow Devil to this template and I can't understand why. Just because Sakurai uses the term "boss" to refer to it doesn't mean it suddenly fits our definition of "non-playable character that appears as a stronger-than-usual opponent in specific circumstances in one-player modes". Claiming that the game "handles boss battles differently" is also unsubstantiated; the Yellow Devil is mechanically a combination of two stage hazards (the Banzai Bill from Melee and the checkpoint from Green Hill Zone) and doesn't have anything special about it otherwise.

- Sakurai did refer to him as a boss, and he's fought like a boss too. And has already hinted at other "stage bosses" making appearances. I think it should be labeled a boss here, but I don't really feel that strongly about it. Put it up to vote, maybe? Lasifer
