This is the literal definition of a retro game I can pick up and play and have fun with. It's easier than the first game but provides a lot more content and the level design is so much more fun. Honestly, this is my second time playing through the whole game and I already loved it before but replaying it was a blast. From the better level design to adding more Robot Masters and stages to the really fun Wily Castle segments. I think this game really has it all. The only complaint I could think of is the weapons again but even that isn't so bad because I found myself switching weapons pretty often. Honestly I think it's literally just the Time-Stopper but considering what it's meant to be for which is to make Quick Man easier, then it gets a pass in my book. Overall, I think this game is really well made and fun and easily became my favourite retro game I've played this year, if not ever.

Tbh I don't really care for this one much like others do. I think the robot masters itself are mostly pretty cool and the stages are fine but the castle is just not it. Wily 4 is an easy punching bag but honestly idk what they were on with that one. I think a lot of the nostalgia comes from being a kid and just playing the robot master stages over and over instead of using a password to get to wily castle because it really falls apart there for me. Also the weapons are fine and the introduction of items that eventually become rush are good, but most weapons don't really matter when metal blades are broken like that
