Cossack Stage 4 The path to Cossack starts off with some refills, an E-Tank, and a nice view of the night sky. Pakatto and Jumbig are easily dealt with by now, and we’ve already met both in worse situations. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Cossack Stage 3 and Music This stage… is an autoscroller. I’m going to be honest here; no matter what I say about the design, I’m always going to hate this stage because I can’t stand this mechanic in platformers. It does raise tension for newcomers by adding a time limit, but for experienced players or […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Mega Man series. This time, I’m looking at Mega Man for Game Gear, the rare, odd game published by US Gold, developed by Freestyle, and licensed by Capcom for SEGA’s bulky black response to the Game Boy. Growing […]

Cossack Stage 1 map and Music Mega Man starts this one waist-deep in snow. The snow decreases his walking speed, but won’t affect sliding. We’ll soon come to a series of platforms covered in ice, which does exactly what you’d expect it to by now. The...
Boss Theme Something to note about this game is that the sound of the boss’s life bar filling interrupts the music, so you won’t hear the part between roughly 0:03 and 0:06 during these fights. Every boss deals eight points of contact damage except for Pharaoh Man, who deals four. Also, since Mega Man has […]

Once again we’ve collected all the weapons and items the game has to offer, so let’s try them out. Flash Stopper This is a much more powerful upgrade to Flash Man’s weapon, allowing seven uses instead of draining the meter and giving Mega Man the ability to shoot while it’s active. It’s useful for just […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Mega Man series. This time, I’m reviewing Mega Man V, which perfected much of the groundwork laid down by its predecessor while also breaking new ground in a variety of areas. Mega Man V is my […]

Pharaoh Man’s Stage and Music Mega Man sinks into the quicksand slowly, and will die if he reaches the bottom. This takes a long time and the sand doesn’t hinder his jumping at all (though it slows his walking speed a little) so it’s not a serious threat. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Bright Man’s Stage and Music Dompan and 100 Watton here have an interesting dynamic. Shooting Watton makes the room dark, but Dompan lets out a burst of fireworks when shot, lighting it again. Both can be destroyed in one hit, and Watton occasionally fires a bomb upward that falls and explodes at a random height, […]

Ring Man’s Stage and Music Our new enemy is Wall Blaster, who fires three shots at a time towards Mega Man and can take five hits. We also get introduced to the stage gimmick the moment we teleport in, as the floor starts to vanish underneath us. It moves from left to right when Mega […]
