Why It's Metal (Good Qualities)

 * 1) Metal Sonic’s design is pretty cool, not to mention he is considered one of the best and memorable Sonic characters in the series.
 * 2) You fight Metal Sonic in the amazing Stardust Speedway.
 * 3) No matter what state or soundtrack you get, the music that plays during the battle is always awesome.
 * 4) Metal Sonic has since frequently reappeared in other Sonic games as a boss fight, like Sonic Generations, Sonic Heroes (this one being a fan favorite), Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Ep II and in Sonic Forces.
 * 5) To be fair, it is a better battle than in Sonic the Fighters (much extra emphasis on that one) and Sonic Mania.
 * 6) It's more engaging and interesting than the rest of the game's pathetic bosses.
 * 7) A unique concept: It's a racing boss, a rarity in non-racing video games.
 * 8) This fight is so iconic that it was replicated more than once.
