do you think maybe when you progress through the game you may have longer matches, specially on the sky temple arena..this way you can experience all the crazy platforms in one fight. another thing,..
if you look at the concept art of the temple once you knock them onto the 2nd highest platform, if you knock them to the sides they will hit another platform, if you hit them to the front...bye bye!
i think it is cool that you can just kill them with a good kick off the side rather then them always just landing on a platform.
