Finishing the DLC also unlocks a dedicated Boss Rush Mode for replaying these challenges. I did lose a couple of times against some of these bosses but the battles and the music theme that goes along with it are so good that it made me come back for more!

I really gotta finish this game sometime. Especially given I'm a third or half-way through it.

The half-way to the end is definitely more frustating though, but after that we could unlock the arcade mode.

It be nice to just finish it.
But would like to play the Sega DLCs as well.

DLC's fun, no pixel perfect jumping needed.
Funny thing is ... Eggman's here is tougher than he's in Sonic games.
May be because his lifebar is kinda long here.

Oh, okay, that actually made more sense.
Though may be in DEFENSE stat, Joe Musashi is better since it took many hits to be defeated while Sonic's only needed one hit to be down (if without rings).

Strength ≠ Endurance.

An arrow is a stick with a pointy end to it. It's mostly harmless and can easily be snapped. It's only deadly when it's fired from a bow.
