Of the three, only Shiva can dash towards enemies, for example, but unlike the other two, Shiva cannot pick up weapons (instead, he dramatically flips them up and kicks them at enemies). Like the game’s other playable characters, each of these new characters plays slightly different. X Nightmare adds Estel, Max, and Shiva as playable characters.

Two of these (Max and Shiva) were previously playable but only in their 16-bit variants and all three are ripped straight from their boss battles in the base game. X Nightmare is the addition of three playable boss characters: Estel Aguirre, Max Thunder, and Shiva.
