They forgot that the Phantom Ruby's "illusions" collide just fine with better "real reality warping" in Egg Reverie Zone. They REALLY overestimated the potency & function of the Wonder Flower. The Phantom Ruby also has a sort of failsafe for when it interacts with reality warping, rips your power source out & creates a rift in space-time like it did with Phantom King.Now that the novelty has worn off, I can pick apart some reasonings and not kill the vibe.
Here's the main things they got wrong in terms of HAX going by this site (I'm ignoring AP):
The rest I think aren't important enough to mention. Gave Bowser the respect he deserved after the Ganon L, but I found Eggman lacking in representation. If Metal didn't have a go at it, Eggman would have looked absolutely washed.
- Eggman and his forces can't answer transmutation
- False: Chaos Energy protects against what is literally called Transmutation, from the Metal Virus. Not only is it layered, but Chaos Energy negates the effects and having all Emeralds intensifies the resistance effects.
- Sage's Cyber Cages/BFR to Cyber Space are countered by Dimensional Travel
- False: Bowser's troops have no answer to Cyber Corruption that erupts after escaping the Cages, nor can they answer being forced into a state of virtual existence that forces you between two states of being.
- Phantom Ruby is only Illusions
- False... Kinda: I don't think you can use simplistic illusions to burn The Resistance to a crisp, nor can an illusion trap you in a dimension cut off from all others. They are fake to Eggman and his posse but very, very real to Bowser.
