… Who else is excited about the stage boss feature? Sure it's not what we expected, but it's better than nothing! Hey, wait… what if… there's a mode where you can fight stage bosses? As in, kill Yellow Devil, move onto Ridley, etcetera, etcetera. It could be some kind of single player mode, alongside the 'classic' mode. Who else wants that? Anyone?

Technically he is, just not a playable character.

So it's like one big tease… Which could be worse depending on how you look at it.
