A game with no Mega Man 5 music?insectduel2019-06-26Version 1.0

I have decided to give this a try since Mega Man IV was my childhood. I decided to go to stages in Dr. Cossack number order from Bright Man to Skull Man since I am a good Mega Man IV player even with using the Mega Man V weakness chain. However Toad Man's stage is incredibly frustrating no matter what. In the original, Toad Man was the first to begin with but because of the wind some of the jumps are near impossible with the Swallown and Coswallown's on contact. You'd be better off going to Skull Man's stage as a first choice.

What even bothers me is not having the Mega Man V music! I understand that Ridley X don't have knowledge in music editing but Mega Man IV and Mega Man V music data is near identical. A game could be improved gameplay with slightly modified AI's for bosses. Another one I noticed is that the castles aren't modified which is the same. Why have a Cossack Citadel when the stages are based on Protoman for Dark Man fights?

Not a bad game, it's enjoyable if you want to try this one and it's slightly easy.
