Yup, my next little "mini-series" in between my challenges will be me playing the Wily Tower from MegaMan: The Wily Wars, although I'm playing RockMan Megaworld, which is the Japanese version since the PAL version has slower music for some reason.

To get Wily Tower selectable from the games to play, all you need to do is beat MegaMan 1-3. After you beat all three, Wily Tower will appear as a choice to play. There are only 3 bosses and then Wily's Castle, but the fact that you can choose any combination of up to 8 weapons and 3 items from all three MegaMan games makes the replay value astonishing. Wily Tower also has some of my favorite stages in all of MegaMan. They look and sound beautifuly in my opinion.

First up is Buster Rod-G, who's actually the more difficult of the three. His AI goes in a very strict pattern. First he uses the forward Bo thrust I'm guessing like, 7 times, then just sits there for about 5 seconds. When he stands there, he deflects ANYTHING (at least what I tried) used at him. When he uses his Bo thrust attack, the attack also deflects attacks as well. After standing for a while, he jumps up and uses Bo thrusts some more while in the air. He then lands, stands there (while deflecting, mind you) then jumps up and releses copies of himself to jump across the arena. Only one copy is real, and only it can be hit, weather it be on one side, the other, or even jumping across! He then stands there and repeats the pattern. He cannot be killed, because he leaves att he last moment, but it's considered the end of the stage.

My Weapon/Item Setup for this stage is as follows:

Weapons:
ElecBeam
SuperArm
HyperBomb
MetalBlade
QuickBoomerang
CrashBomb
ShadowBlade
HeavyKnuckle

Items:
MagnetBeam
RushCoil
RushJet
