It introduced some series staples, like Robot Master rematches, Wily Castles, and energy tanks. It probably has the best soundtrack of the Classic games, too. As I've said in the other Mega Man writeups, my barometer for measuring good Mega Man games is based on Robot Masters and their powers. Other than Mega Man 1 and the original Mega Man X (who have the advantage because they came first), Mega Man 2 probably has the most memorable lineup in the series. Wood Man is probably the weak link both as a boss and for the power he gives (I've never been a big fan of the "shield" powers), but even he's pretty decent because he has a funny design. Of course, in terms of powers, the Metal Blade is legendary. Multiple bosses are weak to it, including Metal Man himself, and you can shoot four of them for every bar on the gauge, which is ridiculous. Since ammo pickups are fairly frequent, you can essentially use it with reckless abandon as a substitute Mega Buster. Other personal favorites for me include the Time Stopper, the Quick Boomerang, and the Crash Bomber. I've said I don't remember the stages very often, but I do recall one particular segment of Quick Man's stage with the horizontal bars of instant death, which is the main reason I love the Time Stopper. I also have a weird anecdote relating to Mega Man 2. When I was in 4th grade, our teacher kept a collection of books in her room that we could borrow, and among them was a Mega Man 2 novelization. I decided to borrow it, but I forgot to return it before summer break. When we came back the next year, I found out she had retired, so I just kept it. I don't think I still have it though, unless it's packed away in my mom's attic or something. I think it actually stayed true to the game in terms of Robot Master weaknesses and stuff like that, although it had this weird twist where Dr. Light tried to clone Mega Man as a failsafe but accidentally turned him human instead, which is used to explain Bad Boxart Mega Man who looks like a human instead of a robot (since the MM2 boxart is used as the cover for the book). Not long ago, I decided to try to look it up to see if I could find the book or find any info about the book, and I discovered that the Angry Video Game Nerd actually did a video on it where he reads the whole book (which only takes an hour and 15 minutes since it's a kid's book). I doubt anyone actually wants to see/hear it, but here's the link anyway! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6_XJHcHg7I Bonus Question: What is your favorite Mega Man Classic game? --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/xSIWjVK <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:895940758] in Leonhart R...
