Comments: God World 4 takes the cake for having some of the most obnoxious, collision-heavy bosses in any Mega Man hack. Funnily enough, the stages for the most part are leisurely and forgettable, barring some ruthlessly tight jumps in Gyro Man and Wave Man's stages. But your blood pressure will rise when you find yourself face to face with God World's rotten robot masters. The only one that's arguably decent is Napalm Man; every other robot master is a pain to fight with their weakness and near-impossible with the mega buster. Charge Man, Crystal Man, Star Man, and Gyro Man get special mention for being unbelievably nightmarish (Gyro especially) which should give you some pause since that's half of the line up! During the boss rush you'll learn how to brute force every encounter without relying on E-tanks, but then you'll come face to face with a hastened Wily Press, which I was unable to beat without resorting to save states. And your reward is getting to fight the Wily Capsule with Napalm Bomb, the only weapon that will damage it. Terrible, stupid, and aggravating are the three words that come to mind when thinking about this hack. The sole positive I can think of is that Gravity Hold is as over-powered as Metal Blade, which is a nice bonus for such a trash hack.
