A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages: Charge Man

Charge Man’s Stage and Music Rembakun is our only enemy for the first section. It flies forward while dropping three bombs, and aims in front of Mega Man. They die in one hit, but are reasonably fast and the bombs deal six damage, so they can be dangerous if we’re distracted by platforming or other […]

Crystal Man’s Stage and Music TMMN Staff

Crystal Man’s Stage and Music Pukapucker is our first new enemy of the stage. Shooting the feet causes the head to bounce away in the direction it was facing, but taking out the head destroys both. The head is constantly moving and is thus more difficult to hit,...

A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages: Stone Man

Title Music & Stage Select Music Mega Man 5 gives us a somewhat lackluster intro compared to the last one, this time using Proto Man as Wily’s new scapegoat. The Robot Master selection is as ridiculous as always, and Mega Man gets a spot on the screen again. Unfortunately his eyes don’t follow the cursor […]

Super Mario Bros. Crossover 3.0 Trailer

It’s been over a year since we last reported on “Super Mario Crossover,” and while the developers at Exploding Rabbit have gone on to start work on their own property in the crowdfunded Super Retro Squad, they haven’t forgotten the title which brought them there in the first place. TMMN Staff

A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Afterword

Mega Man 4 is not a bad game, despite how often I may seem to be calling it such. The main stages flow nicely, the end game stages keep their quality up much longer than previous games, and there were a lot of great new stage mechanics thrown in. We got a full water stage, […]
