** Then there are the fights against Vorkken and his crew. He's able to use ''all'' [[MirrorBoss of your Unite Morphs]] in addition to two unique to him, and gains new ones through the story to match your new allies, including the defensive ones such as Guts and Spring. It eventually comes to its climax in operation 006-C, when he activates Teio-Form, his version of your Unlimited Form, complete with reverse transformation pose. The amazingly intense theme that plays during the entire battle also helps a lot.

** '''Final Phase''', and is it a biggun. Turns out that those earlier two phases meant absolutely nothing, as destroying the brain was nothing more than a slight hindrance. Jergingha transforms his space fortress body into his ultimate form, a 221-kilometer-tall giant mecha referred to as '''''Planet-Destruction Form'''''. Luckily for you, Platinum Robo stopped by, so you have some semblance of chance. You start by breaking through barriers requiring full-scale Unite Morphs, ending with one up to ''two hundred'' members. Then the big guy decides to rain hell via MacrossMissileMassacre, which only the power of button mashing and Wonder Punch can stop. And thus, this continent-sized behemoth decides to take you straight on, in what can only be described as Doomsday Zone crossed with ''Okami'' and a dash of ''Pikmin'', followed by the main team using their own unite builds to rip his arm off and send it back at his face, culminating with Unite Platinum which forms the Platinum logo. Oh, but that's still not enough, even when you blow off half his head. Jergingha decides to do what he probably should have done from the beginning, and unleash his body's most powerful weapon -- which is the size of his torso -- the Chi Q Marble Buster. With this huge beam coming, there's only one thing left to do...[[BeamOWar Protect Earth]]!
** Even failing the QTE causes an awesome moment. Even if it's meant to be funny, pulling the Earth out of it's orbit is still awesome.

* The entirety of the flashback sequence in Operation 006, where we see the previous Earth Defense War and a younger Nelson on the frontlines as a Wonderful One. Specifically, he was the previous Wonder-Red. He singlehandedly rushes the GEATHJERK forces invading the last remaining human ship and, after Arthur Wedgewood is struck down by Laambo, faces down the game's first boss alone. Well, until he picks up some remotes to forcibly convert some Dough-Goo and brings his mighty Unite Drill to bear. It's pretty helpful too, since Laambo is stronger and more aggressive than in the first operation's battles with him. This culminates in a quicktime event where Nelson's Drill breaks through Laambo's sword and smashes him straight in the face, knocking him out a window and into the path of a missile that slams straight into the path of a speeding missile which soon after explodes, presumably necessitating in Laambo's eventual cyborg leg. And Nelson manages all these impressive feats ''without the use of Unlimited Form.'' And even better, if we take his statement in 001-C at face value, this was him being ''merciful'' to Laambo. Yeah, there's [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority a reason]] Nelson is the one in charge of the Wonderful 100.

* Meta Example: after [[Website/FourChan /v/]] made a collage of 101 different users owning the game, Creator/HidekiKamiya was so impressed by the love and dedication that he posted on /v/, thanking everyone for their support.
* Another Meta Example: On the launch day of the remaster's Kickstarter campaign, all the initial port stretch goals were funded ''within a few hours''.
** In less than 24 hours, it made over $1 million.
** After 30 days, the Kickstarter topped out at $2.23 million. Rewarding us with a time attack mode, two new Luka side-missions and various songs remixed by industry legends Yuzo Koshiro, Keiichi Okabe, and Yoko Shimomura!
** Not to mention, the remaster of a game about loads of people uniting to achieve a single goal being crowdfunded is as poetic as it is awesome.
* The fact that Nintendo still partially owns the IP but is allowing Platinum to port the game to rival consoles and even PC, making this the first official Nintendo release on a rival platform since the Nintendo Entertainment System days.

** '''Phase Two''', we're faced with the mismash abomination simply called Wonder-Jergingha. This [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Wham Bam Rock]]-style boss, bearing his own Wonder Mask, has access to ''all of your Unite Morphs'', which he gladly takes UpToEleven. For example, his Unite Claw can ''rip a hole in the fabric of time and space'', and it only gets ''more'' absurd from there. Your only hope is to bring down the brain by countering with your own Unite Morphs, and even afterwards, we have a lovely NintendoHard escape sequence. Oh, but remember how Jergingha kind of mentioned he ''was'' the fortress? Guess what hasn't been destroyed yet.

** White gets one during the fourth boss, grabbing its tentacles with his claws and then '''[[WrestlerInAllOfUs suplexing]]''' the boss back and forth [[CrazyAwesome across the damn ocean]]!

** After 30 days, the Kickstarter topped out at $2.23 million. Rewarding us with a time attack mode, two new Luka side-missions and various songs remixed by industry legends Yuzo Koshiro, Keiichi Okabe, and Yoko Shimomura!

* Wonder Blue has a lot of one-liners, but the one at the end of operation 005-C stood out particularly to this troper:

* How about the game's absolutely ''flawless'' escalation of scale? The first mission takes place on a freaking ''school bus'' and starts you off with just Wonder-Red. At the end, [[spoiler:you have a full team of Wonderful Ones and all of the Guyzoch backing you up, ''every single one of them'' is piloting a gigantic mecha, and the last quick-time event is literally "mash A to protect Earth."]] The game's pacing is perfect enough to [[SerialEscalation hype up the player]] without [[HypeBacklash overdoing it]], and the way each scenario is framed makes them just as intense every time you play them... but what do you expect from a team that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrw2IP6pZu0 actually gave a presentation]] on how to structure an action game?

* The conclusion to Operation 009-A: [[spoiler:The Platinum Robo turns the massive Shirogane Comet over to become a shoulder-mounted {{BFG}} that wipes out everything with a massive laser.]]

** [[spoiler:'''Phase One''', we kick things off inside the planetary fortress with Jergingha... who is, himself, the fortress. Needless to say, he can do whatever he wants in here, but luckily for you, he ''only'' sticks to gigantic tendrils that sprout drills, lasers, chainsaws, and other fun little weapons. And the first phase itself has a second phase, wherein you have to survive a rush of the game's most powerful enemy classes, one after another, while Jergingha gives his spiel about his true origins. What are those origins, you may ask? He's from 1500 years ahead, where Earth became the leader of a conquering interplanetary system. Where's his proof? '''''[[OhCrap A Wonder Mask.]]''''']]
