In that case, you could ask someone you know to make a sprite for you:
The sheet to follow looks like this.

Perhaps the big bad is actually the thing that prevents the ACTUAL big bad from being released into the world. Upon release, the PC gets knocked out for an unspecified amount of time, within which all shit hits yonder fan and somehow causes the penguins and the bronies to start fighting over a generic MacGuffin, which, coincidentally, is also the same thing you need to defeat the ACTUAL big bad. And whatever faction you choose, the enemy will end up with the MacGuffin. So, you need to steal the MacGuffin, escape to the big bad's lair and defeat him. The big bad who you fight turns out to be Dermp who then tells you that you were tricked by your faction and have to slay the ACTUAL ACTUAL big bad. After doing so, both factions are angry at you. Sounds good?

Derm would be a Half-Minute Hero boss. YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO FUCK HIM UP OR HE DOES IT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD!

Can the big bad actually be the big bad for once?

Ignoring all those games where the big obvious big bad was the big obvious big bad.

So it would reveal the big bad wasn't the big bad, it was some other guy, but, when you defeat the other guy, it's revealed that the original guy was really the big bad all along?

And the fake big big bad is actually one of the two macguffins required to beat the original big bad? Provoking a big quest to go find the remaining macguffin?

Not quite complicated enough.

How about this.
The warlord you defeat in the tutorial is initially made out to be the BB, but obviously isn't since you defeat him pretty early on. You discover hints in town (delivered by a gold-eyed man?) about Derm, who sounds like a bad guy. You investigate, and either get Derm to join you or drive him off*. Then, you discover something that suggests that a lich in this big tower in Roll to Dodgia is the BB, and Derm was trying to destroy said lich in ways that confused me given their collateral damage. Once you reach the tower, though, Dirg and the lich(ette) have kicked off the huge civil war between themselves, the Conservatives, me, bronies, penguins, dwarves, etc. After some side quests or something, Tim arrives and looks like an all-slaying Big Bad. However, it turns out that misko and the lichette/Dirg caused him to be here, so you need to enlist the help of the ponies or penguins to defeat one of them. Plot twist, Tim was lying and is actually the Big Bad, and manages to crush the surviving army with Xantalos's help and is about to destroy the world! You must have an item gained from defeating misko and one from the lichette combined by GWG and Aperture Science to protect you from Tim's OHK gun. Also useful will be the spell(s) from the Holy Log. Upon defeating Tim, the ghost of the warlord appears as a bonus boss.
*I seem to recall discussion about the possibility of Derm being defeated and befriended at differing points, being stronger the later you pick him up. If this won't be added, disregard the "or drive him off" bit.

Thoughts?

This sounds about right.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
