Anchor and Wheelie (unofficial names) are a pair of minibosses in Contra: Legacy of War.
Description[]
A pair of robots that come together from what seem to be pieces of junk on the river. Making honor to their names, Anchor has an anchor for an arm and Wheelie has a wheel on its body.
This boss is fought during the Hovercraft ride of the River of Destruction stage. The heroes follow a blip on their radar that leads them straight toward the boss. Once in range, the boat locks and the garbage pieces form together to make a long armed robot. The player will battle the boss either from the left or right sides of the screen depending on the angle the boss was approached from.
The boss simply rotates around its set location, with its long left arm taking swings at the heroes' craft and them onboard it. On a few occasions, the boss may also detach a part of its garbage to send flying toward the heroes to damage them. The boss's body is its weakness and enough damage will destroy it, allowing back hovercraft controls to resume exploration.
After destroying this boss, another one can be found. This one visually appears different but behaves the same way. A third boss is fought after the second one, with the third boss appearing exactly as the first one.
