It's shockingly not as awful as it's made out to be online.
It's not one of the good Sonic games, but it's also not one of the bad Sonic games.
It's just one of the Sonic games.

I will forever think of my dad when I see Lei Wulong

I grew up with its DS remake and there's no beating childhood nostalgia, but even as a kid I knew Ultra was great thanks to this game.

"Comme Mario, tu interviens quand la Terre est en danger."

People dare to call Super Mario Land "jank" when this atrocity exists.

The unskippable cutscenes are the worst part of the game.
The bigger sprites are really not that big of an issue due to the game being designed around the beefier characters and the slide gives you just enough time to really nail those long jumps. Also the bosses are fantastic to fight buster only.

It's like a cute fusion between the very simple moveset of the first game with a sample platter of abilities from the second game, alongside friends to change how those abilities are used.
Somehow my favorite of the Shinichi Shimomura trilogy, in great part due to me appreciating the compromise made for the hardware.

Mega Man 3 plays better here than on the NES.
Overall it's just a neat different way of playing 3 classics and having a really cool bonus at the very end.

A game about growing up.

Treasure spent so much time on their game having a personality 95% of the time they forgot to make it fun

This game rules and if you are a Mega Man fan you need to play it (and check out IV as well!)

Not being able to jump out of a slide kills my enjoyment of this game, and that's a shame because it does so many things so well... but it completely fumbled in the control department (yes those 6 identical looking games have their own control nuances), I wish I were more ignorant on that front...

This one deserves to be played.
If it weren't for V being entirely original this would probably take the top spot for the best Game Boy Mega Man.

An 8 bit game with the polish of a 16 bit game.

Even the worst NES Mega Man is better than the majority of NES games, testament to the quality of this series.
As for 5 itself... all but 2 weapons are terrible, and even the ones that aren't are not worth using next to that Charged Shot.
This game feels almost fresh to play everytime I do because of how forgettable it is.
Super Arrow is a 10/10 too though.
