Let's Play Mega Man Maker - #158: Mega Epic Castlevania Metroid Puzzle Adventure
14In this part of Mega Man Maker V1.3.6 (PC), I cover the longer viewer-submitted level, "Mega Epic Castlevania Metroid Puzzle Adventure - 4 Good PC" by Alencar. Thankfully, it was not as long as I expected it to be. Only around 20 minutes of footage was cut out.
If you're wondering what happened to the Time Slow in the last segment, I actually took a break and exited out of the game, and used the level editor to return back to that point.

FULL REVIEW:
This level was somewhat frustrating to go through. Due to the combination of frequent microstuttering, the stage running at a slower speed, and engine issues, my play experience was drastically harmed here. Most of these were because of the stage's whopping 170 screen size. Plus, several screens were more difficult than the rest of the level. For instance, getting onto the platform with the Tama using the Oil Slider, as well as the Super Arrow section before the final section of the stage.
With that said, I did like a few of the challenges scattered throughout this level. For example, the section where I traveled through a forest filled with magnets, count bombs, Wanaans, and Gyro Platforms. Another example would be the boss battle against Bomb Man and Napalm Man. I'd say that was the highlight of this stage. I did also like that you didn't need to collect all the Special Weapons in order to complete the level. A bunch of them like the Top Spin, Skull Barrier, Rush Jet were optional, but would make several parts of the stage a lot easier. The same held true with the character capsules - though acquiring Bass would be harder than Proto Man.
The variety of areas and challenges present was nice to experience. The stage keeps things varied and it did not get monotonous. Though, a few areas felt cluttered. I'm also a bit thankful that the stage didn't require as much backtracking as I initially thought. For the latter half of the level, I was able to stay in the same relative area and acquire all the collectibles before moving onto the next one. The only real trouble spot where I lost a lot of time was at the Super Arrow section. I suppose this would be a lot easier as Bass, but going through this as either Mega or Proto is painful. You need a full bar of Super Arrow energy in order to make it to the weapon capsule respawners. That challenge alone took over 20 minutes to overcome, and nothing comes close to that hurdle - even the Oil Slider double-jump challenges.
Would I recommend playing this stage? Due to how slow the level plays, probably not. If you still wish to, make sure to practice double-jumping using the Oil Slider, as well as using the Super Arrow. In my opinion, this is an okay stage.
As usual, please send me your level IDs (either in the comments section or on Twitter), so I can feature them in future parts.
