New Mode Idea - Hardcore Mode

I should've thought of this earlier, but hardcore mode is gonna be a super-intensive version of Story Mode. This idea is to limit Syg to only his regular form, make him a little more resistant to knock backs (so he's more vulnerable to taking more hits), reduce his HP by like 75%, and have a much shorter time limit, where the player has to rush through every stage to reach the goal. The enemy count would be increased significantly, but with the same HP (because hammering on the same enemy over and over again gets boring). The stages would also appear differently, with different routes, more violent environments and more intense music. The rewards would be much better too, and even an epic alternate ending could be added to make a better reason to try this mode. Of course, the stages would be tested to see if it could be completed, but that doesn't mean they would be easy, at all.
