Because when I look at them, I realise that most of them don't seem to be trying to kill Wario as much as slow him down. Okay, Cractus is certainly trying to physically hurt him, but he still likes using the drool attack to turn him into a slow zombie for tons of wasted time.
Aerodent pretty much doesn't physically attack at all. It's almost entirely about wasting the player's time.
Catbat only attacks for damage once it's lost about three quarters of its health bar. Until then, it's more about simply pushing the player away and trying to make them waste time in Puffy Wario form...
Cuckoo Condor is probably the most aggressive boss in the game (weirdly enough), but even then... it's got a lot of attacks and a whole second phase which is designed to waste as much time as possible.
And the Golden Diva... well, her first attack is all about time wasting (with the various flying masks). It's only in her penultimate phase in which she physically tries to kill Wario herself by smashing the floor to pieces.
So yeah, seems like the bosses here are closer to those in 2 and 3 than you once think, with their goal being more to run out of the timer than to empty Wario's health bar. Anyone else think this?
