These areas took around 39 minutes to complete. Unlike older Mega Man games you can continue at checkpoints within a stage if you lose all your lives, unlimited continues. There may be one checkpoint per stage but not sure yet how many.
Movement seems a little more sluggish than previous games in the series but tight control overall.
I will most likely check the boss order moving forward, I didnt look anything up and just started with Tengu Man. Boss order is important to have the best weapons to use against each boss.
Ive played through Mega Man 1-7 but never completed 8,9 or 10. Also Mega Man X 1-4. I would like to complete more in the series. Especially Rockman And Forte for Super Nintendo which seemed exceptionally difficult. Mega Man X3 I remember being noticably harder than all the other mega man games Ive beaten too, from what I remember. Though I didnt have a guide so used pellets on most of the bosses.
