This hack changes every single level (excluding the occasional boss fight) in Arkanoid - Doh It Again to a level featuring a character from the classic Mega Man series. Almost every single classic Mega Man game is represented in some way (excluding 11 and some very obscure titles), with main characters, prominent villains, famous enemies and bosses, and loads of robot masters for you to destroy block by block! Play through every level to get a few surprises at the end in the form of cameo appearances by other popular Mega Man characters.
The included README file has all of the levels and their represented character listed at the bottom, so be sure to check that out to find the location of your favorite robot warrior! This hack was created using the extremely helpful and easy-to-use ArkanEdit program, without it, this passion project would not have been able to exist. As a bonus, you can find two box arts for this hack

Version 1.1:
- Svambo (one of the creators of ArkanEdit) helped fix powerup bugs in
levels 75, 84, 96, and 98. Those levels can be played with glitches removed
(including powerups now able to be found on level 75 where there were none
before).

Background Info:
I love the classic Mega Man series, having played every game
available (including a few obscure ones not represented in this hack).
So one day I was scrolling through ROMHACKING.net and saw that there was
a new program out called ArkanEdit that would allow hackers to edit every
level in the game easily and thoroughly. I decided to make a few levels
because I had nothing else to do at the time, and those few levels soon
turned into a complete overhaul of the game made over a period of a couple
months. Just about every game has at least some representation in my hack,
so I hope both new and old Mega Man fans alike will enjoy the experience!
