Rush Bosses

I did take quite a long snoop around the various sites which one would expect to have the boss name information (if it existed) before starting these articles - alas, to no avail. I believe that it may be the case that the bosses do not actually have official names - and in such cases we actually have a procedute in place; see Category:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) Bosses and Category:Sonic Rivals 2 Bosses. This is why I used the titles I did. While your "sensible suggestions" certainly are nicer-looking than "Eggman/Nega (Water Palace Boss)", it's unwise to run the risk of your average reader mistaking our made-up names for official ones, which they very much are not.
