OMFG It's way worth $20! I paid more, but I got a good deal on it at the time when it came out. That's the goddamn deal of the century right there. Plus, once you play through it once you unlock the time attacks for the Colossi, as well as hard mode. You've also got the option to continue playing your game in a "New Game+" kind of deal, where you retain your health and grip meter from the previous run through. You get health from fruit trees, and grip from lizards with silver tails, as well as beating each colossus. I heard that once you play through a few times you'll be strong enough to climb up the main tower you always return to and fight one more colossus. You can also go up to the dead body of each one after you kill them and fight them again, I forget what they call it but it's got this sepia tint to it like an old movie. You also get to ride your horse around a beautiful landscape. Do yourself a favor and buy the game.
And for bosses, I always thought the King DeeDee/Nightmare battle in Kirby's Adventure in Dream Land always got the blood pumping.
