Maxwell Merlock

Maxwell Merlock is the first and final boss of Final Ninja Zero. He is displayed as being insane and broken, shocking Takeshi every time he walks in front of him.

Strategy
The first time he is fought he may just be shot through his machine, but the second time Takeshi must use Mines to hit through his shield, causing the machine to explode and kill him.

Trivia

 * Dr. Boshi thinks he sent Takishi to kill him.
 * Dr. Boshi also made his machine
 * After he explodes, if Takishi dies, it will give the failure message, but when space or "Try again" is pressed, the next level will come anyway. This is similar to a glitch in Ice Breaker: The Red Clan
 * In the dialogue after the final battle with him, his name is accidently spelled "Maxwell Murlock"
