Absolutely gorgeous level and robot master designs. Second favorite soundtrack of the OG 6. Easiest of the 6 after 2 but incredibly memorable due to it's "around the world" trope. Rush adapters and their designs are awesome and a unique addition that really switched things up for me.

Favorite soundtrack. Legendary for the series. All the robot masters and their levels are cool and memorable. Polished up everything from one, has fun weapons, and length is JUST right. Also has a sick flying alien as a final boss, by the the most epic finale to the first 6.

A little overlong but has the best version of the rush powers. Mobility hit it's stride here by also adding slide. Even if all the weapons aren't useful, a lot are fun, and the game maintains difficulty without feeling overly full of bullshit.

Trailblazer, has Gutsman and Elecman so it's automatically cool. Soundtrack is fucking dope. All weapons are fun and useful. Super short but absolutely punishing with the controls adding a layer of difficulty.

Easy and mostly unmemorable. Proto Man through-line is cool but the robot masters are SO lame. Not a single power I found myself wanting to use either. Level design is generally bland and "hold right to win". Less spikes and pit enemies which is a plus though. Favorite Wily sections.

My least favorite soundtrack of the OG 6 outside of Skull Man's theme. Introduces the charge shot, which I have always hated. FULL of spikes and pit enemies, much more so than all other entries. Final Wily level feels poorly designed. Perfect length though, and Toad Man's acid rain is sick.
