A conversion of MMX and MMX2 to Game Boy. For what it is, it's a nice novelty with really good sprite work both in-game and cutscene, and X even has a tired animation when he's low on health. The music is also well arranged, the transition to 8-bit was good except for the level design, as vertical scrolling doesn't work when X is so close to the bottom, leading to a lot of unfair drops.
Also a weird decision to lock half of the Mavericks behind postgame. The story is the length of Wily Wars, but it has the content of III and IV. Also X doesn't do a lot of damage which sounds fine but then bosses hit like a truck. You do one or two damage while he'll do 4 or 5 before the Body Armor. I started with Chill Penguin like usual and was surprised by how hard of a time I was having with the guy. He also gets invuln on some attacks and his projectiles block yours and why was this dude so tough.
The story at least provides a reasonable excuse for revisiting old foes, and Middy was alright. For all the additions in this game though, it feels like there was a lot of steps back compared to the SNES classic MMX you should play instead.
