Albeit shorter and significantly easier than the original Mega Man World, this one serves as a little treat side-game to both the Mega Man 2 and 3 from the original series, featuring again Robot Masters from both of these. It seems that they have learned from the first Game Boy entry as they made a bit more of the stages somewhat more cohesive and enjoyable to traverse through in the smaller screen space, as well as making the bosses not take up half the screen, which is neat.

Now, this is pretty much the same experience as Dr. Wily's Revenge. But somewhat worse in a few aspects. The music is worsened by a ton since it doesn't even use the original score of the actual stages, which is a bummer and overall making it not remarkable as some of the tunes in the actual console games.

And in the other hand, the game's just too easy. You can easily weave everything in your path and get in intricate spots so that enemies don't hit you, and this goes with the final boss too as its weakness is hilarious and you can just win without much struggle.

One thing though, it's the introduction of Quint as a concept in the Mega Man universe, and he goes around in a pogo stick. That's kinda cool.
