You can tell that Astro Bot hearkens back to the old school gaming platforming traditions because all of it’s major boss fights adhere to the Rule of Three. Once the player is able to demonstrate mastery by completely the same task three times, they’ve proven themselves. Thus, bosses have three phases.
It’s a detail most players won’t even notice, but it informs and defines so much of the genre that it would be strange if boss fights weren’t like this.
