After you unlock Rainbow Palace, Sirius is evil, so he no longer helps you out against bosses you've already killed, as if Bomberman actually has rematches with them in canon

Not sure why they changed the dialog, but then how do you explain Metal Sonic exploding and there being nothing left of him? Bomberman and Sonic are two separate things, that's how I explain it.

The White Space is a place that exists outside of time and space, so what happens in Stardust Speedway may not affect it. It's also important to note that after defeating Metal, the screen fades to white whilst the explosion is still happening, making Metal's condition after the battle uncertain.

Also, as I said before, Metal Sonic is a robot, he can be rebuilt, you're overthinking one insignificant cutscene. If Metal Sonic was obliterated is Stardust Speedway, then he'd be unable to appear in any games after that event. This is directly contradicted by Sonic 4 Ep II, which came out after Generations.
