oh wow i thought mega man 1 was pretty good but damn this game make it look like pee pee poo poo!!!

Levels are way shorter but also tighter and more thematic, a much more concentrated set of challenges based on, y'know, actual challenges and not weird bullshit and obvious glitches lol.

But more than I appreciate the actual concrete changes that make the game LEAGUES more fun to play, I really appreciate the AESTHETIC upgrades to this game which are BOUNTIFUL and add SO MUCH character.

Enemies are more specific to their stages, the music (which was already really good in the first game) slaps /so much harder like holy shit dude so much/ in this one, they've added those dramatic little touches like the empty hallways in front of every boss and more elaborate opening and ending sequences (which features an actually laugh out loud joke in it - the amount of personality in these nes sprites continues to be incredible) that offer both a little breather and act as a sick tension builder. The bosses are funnier and their gimmicks are cooler, everything is just like Mega Man To The Max here.

I get it! Mega Man 2 is a goddamned delight, a fuckin classic, everyone is right about Mega Man 2, simply a good ass game
