Oosh, totally forgot about Lavos Shell compared to Lavos Core. Wonderful.
Xexex is full of them.

You can't really top Darius Gaiden in this category.
Unfortunately, MAME sucks shit and many of the games best effects are missing as a result.
The Mad Hatter fight from The Adventures of Batman and Robin on the Genesis.
Boss of the area is too big to show a background so have a Dark Falz cameo.

How is that animation done? The final area of Phantasy Star 4 has a multicolored version of such a thing. Is it just a rapidly-changing pallet?
Bump
Metal Black is pretty trippy

Skip to 22-23 seconds in, it's so trippy that the menus have after images.

Metal Black does not have enough attention that it deserves.

I kinda love it, but could never get anyone else to try it out, sadly.
Also has some spectacular music in there, and the general concept of the boss battles is pretty neat.

Really? That's strange. Usually 2P STGs are the easiest way to hook someone into the genre since they're dying a lot less by following your lead and are actually being able to do their share of shooting as well.
It's the 1P only ones like R-Type that are difficult to recommend since they require more strategy to survive, which adds more frustration to the learning curve.
Stage 7 I believe from R-Type Delta. It's trippy as hell and suggests I believe that the aliens have been watching humanity for a long time.

That looks awesome

Wait, you mean to tell Gaiden on MAME has graphical problems? Fuck me, now I'm really gonna have to track down a cab or something

Seconding this. It was an amazing level, especially with the music.
