Not Essential, But a Good Time Killer for the ExperiencedRonco2023-07-24Version 2.0

This is a good time killer for any player who has played every Rockman 2/Mega Man 2 hack on this site and wants a quick experience where more obstacles are thrown their way. Speaking of quick, this game goes by much faster with StalkerMaestro's speed patch and FateForWindow's deceleration patch, both for Rockman 2 and Mega Man 2; the deceleration patch goes first in the patching order and reduces the chance of slipping into a pit. If you want to check it out, feel free to if you'd like. In my opinion, I've seen worse attempts at making the vanilla game harder, such as 'AVGN vs. Dr. Wily'.

Difficulty: EASY-MEDIUM

Comments: This hack seeks to enhance the difficulty of the base game, but all it really does is just add a bunch of pits everywhere. Enemy placement and level layout is the same, it's just that you have to do a couple of tricky jumps now and then. Not only that, but some stages (Quick Man) are barely changed meanwhile Bubble Man's stage is a labyrinth of spikes. Boring, uninspired, and imbalanced.
