* ItsEasySoItSucks: A big complaint about the game is its lack of any real challenge (bits of FakeDifficulty notwithstanding). [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist Dying just sends you back to the level select, because theres no extra lives]]. And even thats unlikely, since you have a partner that basically acts as a hit point to go along with the ring and shield power ups, and the level designs are so devoid of enemies and obstacles that you can just breeze through them with reckless abandon. The boss fights, [[AnticlimaxBoss including the final one]], are a complete joke, too.

* {{Padding}}: The game has many levels that rely on CopyAndPasteEnvironments that were clearly thrown in to stretch out the games length to five acts per level. The level gimmick in Amazing Arena where you have to replay an act all over again if you didn't turn on the lights before reaching the goal is especially egregious.

"Metal Sonic Kai" is actually the name of the ordinary Metal Sonic after being rebuilt.

Oddball In The Series perhaps but plot wise it's not much different from other sonic games.

** The last two Special Stages are very irritating, since they introduce some very sloppy level design and nasty FakeDifficulty (such as introducing a very high ledge in the fifth one that you have to do a perfectly timed jump to cross). And it's impossible to grab all the blue spheres without looping around in them, so if you didn't bring enough rings to extend your time, you're in for a world of pain.
