1* Flying. It just doesn't get old. It's not unheard of for a player to waste hours between missions just throwing themselves all over town, it's that much fun.
2** Aimlessly flying around also shows off the sheer ''scale'' of the game world. [[CityOfAdventure Hekseville]] has four districts that stretch out horizontally ''and'' vertically, [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome framed by stunning visual effects and excellent art direction]] with tiny details hiding around every corner. And then you go below the gravity storm beneath the city, revealing that there's far, ''far'' more to this world than just the city you're in...
3* The three special attacks, especially when fully upgraded, are something of a sight to behold. Plus they kill pretty much ''everything''.
4* Any "Rival" battle. The fights with [[DarkMagicalGirl Raven]] are (albeit easy) quite fun MirrorBoss matches, especially as they both happen to awesome backdrops (the Inferno Rift Plane for the first one, and the World Pillar's skeleton shaft for the second). Bonus points to the second one for being quite different from the other fights in the game for being a FreeFallFight where the objective is not to beat Raven, but avoid her. The fight with Yunica, on the other hand, is a very intense case of HighSpeedBattle and AirJousting, where [[{{Cyborg}} Yunica]] deals with your GravityScrew by being a ''[[GetBackHereBoss highly]]'' [[LightningBruiser mobile]] [[ArmCannon weapons]] [[JoustingLance platform]] with [[TurnsRed several tricks]] [[AttackDrone up]] [[FlashStep her]] [[DoubleTap sleeve.]] To top if off, the fights with them happen to some of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi4eTLQmLkM most intense]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67d-EMUKMQM frantic]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic battle themes in the game.]]
5* The battles against [[RedBaron Nushi]]. It's [[UniqueEnemy a unique]] and [[LightningBruiser very powerful]] Nevi that is treated as [[TheDreaded a constant, lurking threat]] by all. It only ''looks'' threatening until it busts out a '''WaveMotionGun''' of all things. Even [[RivalsTeamUp Kat and Raven working together]] could only fend it off briefly since [[HealingFactor it's core kept]] ''[[HealingFactor regenerating!]]'' Only after Kat [[TrueSight awaken's her Mind's Eye]] is it possible to defeat it. Only for it to ''survive'' and [[SuperPersistentPredator come back to keep hounding Kat and the others]]. Destroying its spinal cores ''only'' slows its HealingFactor, after all. [[{{Cyborg}} Yunica]] [[TheWorfEffect has to give it its final trashing]] for it [[KilledOffForReal to finally die.]]
6* A brief, but considerable one, right before the final battle, for [[FriendOnTheForce Syd]] [[CluelessDetective of all]] [[TheLoad people.]] When he sees [[AndIMustScream Kat frozen and captured by the military,]] he immediately pulls out his gun and [[ImprobableAimingSkills shoots the propulsion rotors of the ship carrying her away, successfully bringing it down without doing harm to Kat.]] When he goes to help her, he's confronted by [[{{Cyborg}} Yunica]], who's more than capable of killing him even after the trashing she just got from Kat. He doesn't surrender or try to run away. He ''slaps away her JoustingLance'' and demands the military release Kat. [[MomentKiller His moment is then stopped by]] [[LivingWeapon the Sea Anemone]] [[AIIsACrapshoot going out of control]], but he'd likely have tried to take down Yunica if left alone. He's even about to attempt doing something to free Kat, before [[DeusExMachina the Dream Guardian takes matters into its own hands.]] [[TookALevelInBadass Not bad, Syd.]]
