Are the boss fights different from other Sonic games?

Yes, many boss battles in Triple Trouble are multi-stage affairs. You might fight Knuckles halfway through a zone in a smaller encounter and then face a mechanized Robotnik in a second, more intense phase later.

Why is Nack the Weasel in this game?

Nack the Weasel (also known as Fang the Sniper) is a bounty hunter antagonist hired by Robotnik. His inclusion creates the 'Triple' threat alongside Robotnik and the initially misled Knuckles, adding a unique villain dynamic to the handheld story.
