Very nice finals.

The 2 best songs from MM2.
2 great robot master designs (1 of them is the best)
The stages themselves are sort of middle of the road, but the above 2 categories more than make up for it.

For some reason I think Woodman's theme song is more iconic (Super Smash, X Dive, ...)

I do like how Wily 4, the worst stage in the game with the worst boss in the game. Is third.

It's by far the best Wily stage in MM2, and it has one of the most creative bosses. It feels like the only Wily stage with any real substance. Speedrunners nickname it "Purple Hell", though I don't know if that is endearing or not. W2 and W3 are both really short and empty. W1 is kind of empty too, though the Dragon fight is iconic. But I agree that W4 getting third place doesn't make any sense, because I wouldn't really put any of them ahead of the Robot Masters (Except Heat Man).

I still like half the stage mind you. The NES Mega Man games rarely did wrong.
The falling areas are pretty awesome actually and the music sets the tone well.
Just the parts that are bad, are dumpster fire bad. IMO. It's the only stage in Mega Man 2 where I feel anxiety going into it (as I assume everyone does). The grind if you die to the boss is insufferable.
I don't have a problem with the boss per say. But they just made it entirely too, exact.

If we continue with stages, how about Street Fighter II? The original 12?
It can be a combination of the music, background and character. Maybe.

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.

Ok, this is all fair. I get that.

What you are saying about that boss specifically is most certainly true, and I understand why some people don't like that situation that it creates if you die or miss too many shots...but I also have this kind of respect for the game going that far; it creates slightly higher stakes that you don't normally see in Mega Man (and they aren't that bad, especially for the NES era).

I also think that situations like that were much more normal in that era just due to how many games really did things like that. Like I was playing through Rygar recently, and not sure if any of you have, but dying against the final boss of the game creates such a shit grindfest to power back up before refighting, and it made me remember it happening back then, but it felt more normal in that era at the time. And not to mention the slew of games that had game overs and such. I don't know...the Wily 4 boss just didn't seem so bad compared to all that stuff at the time, but I guess I can understand why people still wouldn't like it. I just thought it was a cool and unique boss, and I appreciated the slightly higher stakes to the fight.

Even in terms of Mega Man games, I always found it was worse during one of the Mega Man X Sigma fights (might have been X3?) when you end up using all your Sub Tanks and still die to him, then you have to grind enemies forever just to fill them back up if you want to have a chance to beat him. (I don't remember if he was actually that hard, but this was something I definitely remember happening a few times as a kid). I'd much rather replay a fun stage again than do something that monotonous.
