That's true, but Zealandia would be the world's largest microcontinent and links Aotearoa with New Caledonia and Rēkohu. Its topography is super cool and makes for a neat range for deep-sea, benthic organisms.

See also: the Tonga–Kermadec Ridge to the northeast, which imo looks sick.

So still a completely arbitrary distinction based on subjective interest.

A large microcontinent the size of a small microcontinent.
