Rockman 3 - KBON

Levels: Eh

Graphics: Eh (occasionally Bad)

Music: Excellent

Enemies: No Change

Bosses: Bad (room changes)

Weapons: Eh (fewer shadow blades)

Castle: Bad

Difficulty: EASY-MEDIUM (mostly EASY due to an abundance of items)

Comments: KBON is a hack with three notable things about it: 1) shamelessly gaudy visuals, 2) items (extra lives, E-tanks) are EVERYWHERE, and 2) the first eight bosses are the Doc Robots, not the robot masters. In a way, KBON feels like the most approachable "buggy" hack that I've played, with its weird platform and enemy placement offset by a shower of items you'll stumble across (many of which are unavoidable!) I actually found myself enjoying its horrifyingly nonsensical, garbled graphics... though maybe that's because I like the use of turqoise and lavender in the color palette. Very cool (if you'll pardon the pun). KBON is definitely not good, but it's not terrible either—so long as jank is your cup of tea.

(Heads up: you have one cycle to defeat the holograph mega mans before they vanish for good)

I've seen a lot of different hacks. Each in its own way is good or bad.

This hack, honestly, does not go through an honest way. Only using SAVE and LOAD.

Why not play it? 1. Level palette. My poor eyes. The palette burns the eyes, it is unpleasant to look at these colors. Because of this, I can't recommend it, but I know another hack that makes fun of people who make a noob palette. However, having passed to the end, such change on a good palette - was not. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! And sad

2. The levels are made poorly. Pits, spikes, enemies from nowhere-give a kick in the ass to ordinary players. Plus the graphics glitches, but it is in the next paragraph. + In some places - do not climb because of the small space allocated by the author.

3. Graphic glitches. Noticeable on the bosses, the enemies and some objects in the levels. It's no good

4. Too many Lives and an E-TANK. Indeed, there are too many of them, and it is not clear how they are located.

5. Sometimes the game slows down, or rather in some stages strongly slows down the hack. Unpleasant, very unpleasant

The only plus is the music. But this is not the merit of this hack. The music was made by another author, but not the essence. Only because of the MUSIC - I can't change my mind about this "creation". Bad, bad, very bad. I Strongly do not recommend this hack.

Graphically and visually, I've seen better hacks, but as far as gameplay goes (and gameplay is the most important thing after all) it's still not bad. This hack's music is original and sounds great.

Stages are completely different and enemies are in new stages compared to the original.
