Glad you like the idea!

Ok, as for villains, obviously we'll have Galaximus as the main antagonist, and perhaps Dark Jaiden and Dr. Creep can be mini-bosses that come shortly before fighting her.

Bright Spark can be another boss. He can have Fork-bot as a mini-boss to fight as well. Here I'm think mini-bosses could show up somewhere before the boss they precede.

Vortigon's another great idea, with Ambrosio as a mini-boss.

Bowser can be another boss. Also Re-Peat Boss, and even Queen Chrysalis.

Lemon Glass sounds great for the role of a healer! Red Fork might be more of a tank, etc.

Some unlockable characters can even be special bosses themselves. Here's a couple of suggestions:

-Dark Shadow could start out as an enemy, until you fight him as an optional boss. After beating him, he is unlocked.

-Heard of Ace, Blast's older brother? He could potentially be another special character that could be unlocked if you go to a certain area and fight him. You go to his dojo, and he asks if you'd like to test your skills against him. It could even be a battle that's accessible early in the game, but he's too powerful, so you'd have to wait until much later in the game before you actually have your characters strong enough for the challenge. But it'll be worth it, as you'll unlock him after you win.

I can also suggest that if possible, give certain characters a sort of synergy gimmick that makes them more effective when you have them together.
