This is my second favorite after 6. Visually it matches 4-6 in levels of intricate backgrounds and just plain beauty. Soundtrack is up there with 2,6, & 9. And it rivals MM6 in how well the levels use their gimmicks. The busses of Nitro Man’s stage are an obvious highlight, but the tackle fire jump ropes of Solar Man, and the Seesaw of Blade Man are also right up there. All of the boss fights are legible, and it's fascinating to see how they change between the different difficulties. Having the different characters of Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass is such a nice touch, and it's a joy to dash through stages as Bass. This is the perfect sequel to 9 in every way except one. The weapon selection isn’t as good, but I genuinely do think it would be impossible to recreate how great 9’s was without copying it. On every other front, 10 is an improvement over 9, and it’s the perfect last note of the classic series.
