To enter one of the eight worlds, you must jump on one of the nine images and press up (you enter it like a door).
Level exits are small super mario bros. castles that are entered through the doors!
There are 9 worlds, the 8 robot master & dr. wilys castle.
You need 8 stars to enter the final world (dr. wilys castle).
You get one star for each world after you defeated the boss.

It looks good, a megaman2 menu and wily castle, and some wonderful levels.
I want to try

[lighthouse64]

I guess you could also play this episode with megaman in smbx 2.0

[Cedrik]

Looks ...... a little bit crazy.

Like a crossover of Mario and MegaMan (MM is going to come in 2.0).
The map looks a litthe bit 3D.

Don't read this!

[Mable]

(MM is going to come in 2.0)

But megaman has already come in 2.0.

I found a last overlooked glitch in gemini man stage 4. The download link is updated. (again). sry for that.
If someone finds any other bugs, glitches or some other issues pls let me know thx

Gotta admit, this is one of few episodes i did enjoy playing.

I attempted to try and play it as Megaman itself. Since i guess you build this up on Mario and Luigi most of the time it is kinda difficult for Megaman, but that makes it more fun to me.
I did like the way the stages are designed and that you can choose from where to start. Music is also very fitting, of course i enjoyed the Wily Stages the most of this.

Gotta ask you tho.. i plan on doing a Mega Man Episode with the 2.0 Megaman, and i saw that you used a lot of Megaman tiles and stuff here. And what i wanna ask is if i could be able to use them since i didn't find any other Megaman gfx here yet. And if i can.. does all the credit go to you or did you get them also from other people?

The only gfx i've got from other people are the wily capsle sprite (but i changed a few details), the Mettaur, Air Man, Skull Man, Flame Man & the Tileset for Wily Stage 2. Except those i did all mega man sprites by myself. But there are also a few little gfx i took from gfx packs like the minecart ect. But i can't remember where exactly i've got those gfx cause it was a few years ago.
And yes you can use those gfx if you want ^^

And thx for the feedback it makes me happy too see that people actually play and enjoy this episode

the only bad point is then there is an overuse of hammer bros

[MegaDood]

I really like this episode, it had its own feel to it that separated it from other episodes. I'm not a reviewer, but I'll do my best to review this episode. Firstly, the level design. I felt it was fair and had a sensible amount of power-ups. (Not like 16 in the same exact area.) I also felt the enemies were well placed and were fair too. The levels were especially interesting, as with any Mega Man game it can't have a progressive difficulty. I thought it worked well in terms of difficulty progression. I also felt the level design seemed natural and enjoyable to play. However, I do have some criticism. At times the levels felt a bit repetitive with the limited number of enemies that were used overall in the game. Also I felt the large amount of sniper joes (the hammer bros) were a bit unnecessary in certain parts or levels. I also would have liked to see a few more gimmicks.

Next, the design and art style. It is amazing that you created most of the graphics for this episode, well done. The 8-bit to 16-bit sprites looked lovely and polished and I couldn't see anything wrong with them. My personal favorite was the Mecha dragon, it had so much detail put into it! The levels looked nice, and I liked the foreground and background pillars as well. However, I must criticize how a few levels seemed a little uninspiring, like the beach stage in Bubble Man's world. I feel this way as the palm trees seemed a bit generic. Also, though not too bad, I think the SMB3 blocks clashed with the rest of the stage at times. Perhaps you could have re textured the blocks or used other ones.

Lastly, the feel of the episode. It had a very unique feel with it and I liked the new ideas of a city world and a ghost world.
In total, It was a good episode that was worth playing. 7.5/10

Oh and one last thing, do you mind if I use your graphics such as the sniper joes in my own game? I would really appreciate it if I could. Thanks
