A cool concept, but...Googie2020-02-25Version 1.0

1. Elecman needs his MM1 palette 2. In the subscreen, it still says "MEGAMANV" it should say "ELECMANV" 3. Elecman needs his trademark attack

I'm all for fresh ideas, a little more effort could've been done. The only way I can enjoy this hack if I patch it over the MM5 level hack. I'll play through this some more, hopefully Dr. Wily is change to Dr. Light.

Villamar if you come back to fix this hack, it'd be cool. But for now I'm gonna have to pass on this until it's fixed.

This hack turns Megaman's sprites into those of a blue Elec Man. It also changes his shot into a small zigzag lightning bolt sprite that moves and acts in the exact same way as his buster. Unless you try to charge the shot, then it just changes into a charged buster shot. Elec Man does not have his thunder beam for some reason. When running if you "throw" a shot his running sprite gains an arm from his standing shot animation. This results in a very unnatural looking "running while shooting" sprite. His ladder climbing sprite is also crap. The "MEGAMAN" letters that you collect throughout the game haven't been changed to "ELECMAN". You are not playing as Elec Man in this game, you are playing as Rock cosplaying as Elec Man. Poorly cosplaying.
