Comments: Hyperion 5 is a simple level hack of Mega Man 5 that isn't afraid to play dirty every now and then. Stages are fairly tricky and can kill the player due to enemy placement alone, which is always a plus for me. But a really strange aspect of the hack is softlocking: if you run out of rush coil ammo, you can get soft locked at the start of Gravity & Wave Man's stages, at the checkpoints of Napalm & Charge Man's stages, and a few other spots. It's a really weird oversight given how well-designed the rest of the hack is in comparison. One last warning: the Wily stages will make FREQUENT use of your rush abilities & Super Arrow, so just be prepared to be swap between those more often than the rest of your weapons.
