The Boss Mode is a brand new mode that is unlocked by defeating the Subspace Emissary. It is essentially a duplicate of the All-Star mode. However, instead of fighting the other playable characters, you have to fight the various bosses that are throughout the game
Unlike previous modes, you do not get any continues and so if you die, you have to start over. As with All-Star Mode there are three Heart Containers each of which heal all of your damage. There are only 10 stages. The first nine are always randomised, however the final one is always Tabuu and ironically is the hardest
