I was already prepared about how the towers was going to be, but the fact that no one told me anything about the cyberspace and so many people was talking about how great the final boss was made this be the most frustating experience I had with the game
The cyberspace was the best part, and even that just half of it was actually good. The car was literally the one that I had most fun and it was just because it is an ugly spam of cars that made me and my friend do jokes like "no way they did an stage based on São Paulo" and "if this was made by Kojima he would be trying to pass a message"
I'm really glad that apparently this is not canon. Although the only thing that would really change on the story if it was is that Sonic would have a new transformation, because even the ending is basically the same exact thing

PS: Since this was an extra mode, my opinion on the base game didn't changed. It could make it better, but not worse
