MМ4 - RidleyX Hack 12 - reused Level Designdiablo6662021-11-14Version 1.0

To be honest, I have almost never seen so many "original levels" taken by the original developers. If it was a small filling, it would be unnoticeable, but I almost 70% recognized the levels from other CAPCOM games.

So, what do I see? Levels from NES: MM1, MM2, MM3 (I noticed it in castles), MM5, Darkwing Duck; GB(C): Rockman World 1, 2, 5.

Some levels are actually made by the author himself, but this "hodgepodge" feels a little strange and unusual.

Another strange solution: change the "spheres" to strange "round stars". It looks very unusual during explosions, when fired from a blaster.

How much I notice, but, alas, maybe my problem is, but - a very slow HP filling strip for both bosses and the main character... tightened.

The conclusion is this: Bosses are only changed weaknesses (some pairs of bosses have the same, which is obviously unfair), the Level Design is boring, enemies are partially redrawn, the main boss Dr. Light is with strangely drawn sprites. The hack - after a complete passage - could NOT hook me from the word at all.

Really, with the graphical part, the hack is fine, but to go through what I already went through ONCE ... I'm sorry, it pushes it away. I can't recommend it, but maybe you will be interested in it, who knows. I personally am not interested.
