How do I present a hack so that it is interesting and unusual? The author offers to do this in one lock, BUT the VARIABILITY. Each level is its own path, which is a "study" of the process as if from a third person. This is good. Different paths are different "events" that seem to be doing something the same way, not giving something new. It's a pity that it's like graphics, but it dilutes the monotony.

The concept - "learning" - is completely well shown, even I want to repeat the trip around the castle more than once. I recommend it to anyone who wants something new in the familiar old.

(And as I said, one hack gave rise to a big project like this. Why don't I touch the rest? Because nothing else was changed. Only graphics and levels, but quality done)

This hack is really neat. The concept itself was creative, but the execution really made it justice. It feels like all the 16 stages of the game are connected into one big maze, and the work here to connect them all was great! Very clever use of snow and rain to justify the terrain's changes to access new areas!

The weapons and attack patterns are the same, but this was still a great hack regardless. It shows that it's possible to create great things with limited knowledge. Good job~

Try it out.

This hack takes place in Skull Castle. All of it. Every stage is there, but they all lead through different routes and end up in different places. It's really interesting, because when you blow through those Wily stages, you never really think about the places that you aren't going, and this draws attention to that. There were a lot of little details that I really appreciated, too, like when you're in Gemini Man's stage, walking across the frozen water area of the original Wily 1, and it's dark and terrifying beneath the surface. You also get to see bits of plant life here and there, showing that nature has begun to reclaim the ruins of the old castle, but hasn't completely overtaken it just yet. Challenge level is very fair; I managed to casually beat the first 8 stages without much difficulty, and it doesn't become punishing after that.

I've been waiting to play this hack since Jriva announced it, this is THE Mega Man 3 hack to play. The level design is really really good. Jriva put a lot of effort into this hack and it shows, playing this hack makes me want to pick up on my MM1 and my MM4 hack, literally.

Give it a spin, it's an awesome hack that to me, it's a classic. :)
