-STORY-
IN THE YEAR 202X
AN ARMY OF ROMHACKERS HAVE RELEASED ROMHACKS TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
BUT BEHIND THIS IS...
CHIKO?!
Armed with the G. BUSTER, help MEGA MAN take down the 8 MEME ROBOT MASTERS and CONQUER THE ROMHACKERS!
-WEAPONS-
You can press SELECT (or Select+Down) to SWITCH WEAPONS at ANY POINT. You can also quickly go to the BUSTER by pressing Select+Start.
G. BUSTER
A bouncy buster that cannot go through walls (but it can richochet!). Some say if you shoot into the walls you can create ghostly followers who can help...
But I also heard if you wiggle fast enough you can do it too... Hmm...
The shot also seems to go further depending on how long you hold the button but if you try to spam shoot it may not go far.
BIG CHUNGUS
BIG-BIG-CHUNGUS. It's all about timing for this attack as it takes a second for CHUNGUS to appear but he will keep stomping even if you think he's gone.
Even though it can "hurt" you it will do no damage, CHUNGUS is just like that.
EZ KICK
So EZ you should remember how to do it from MMV already! You can also use it in the Air!
HIGH ASH
A good horizontal weapon that gets stuck to things... It has it's uses.
EXCUSES BRO
Stop it! Just figure it out! But if you want to know, pressing UP will CANCEL your shot and DOWN will LEVITATE (albeit slowly).
ELIPSES EYE
...There is no stopping it once it goes and as long as there is walls... It will keep going... It can even reach high places they say...
THICC STONE
A little unweidly but the D-Pad can guide the way to victory. You can always switch weapons to try again if it gets stuck (by using SELECT or START).
QUAKER HOLD
Don't get stuck in this oatmeal. Not all enemies can be stuck but there are more then you think!
---- SLING
It can only go upwards but that also means it can go upwards!
MEGAMANV LETTERS REWARD:
BEAT SHIELD
The best weapon you can find in a MM game, now an unlockable! It has been nerfed a bit but there are a few tricks up its sleeve still ;)
