Mega Man 5 is often cited as the most “mid” of the NES Mega Man games, but I disagree with that sentiment. While it doesn’t do a whole lot new, it’s still a remarkably polished entry with some cool level gimmicks (THERE’S A TRAIN LEVEL!!! I FUCKING LOVE TRAIN LEVELS!!!) and colorful graphics. I think it’s a little better than Mega Man 4, though only a little.
