*My third playthrough of Mega Man 2 was played through the Legacy Collection.

Mega Man 2 is an improvement of Mega Man 1 in every way. The movement and feeling of Mega Man was better. The weapons, levels, and bosses were better. The soundtrack is iconic on a legendary level (though not my personal favorite Mega Man ost). The Metal Blade is hilariously broken but enjoyable to still use. The only stumbles the game has is some cheap enemy placements and the Wily Castle Stage 3 boss being such a terrible boss fight. Otherwise, a really great game that made its mark in gaming and in the foundations many Mega Man games follows.
