Mega Man IV - Part 4 - No Letters in Secret Areas
3In this episode it becomes abundantly clear that I have not really played this game a whole lot of times in my life 🤣. I for some reason are really sure that some of the letters you need to gather in order to access the Ballade stage are in some of the secret areas of these four stages, but this is clearly not true I find out while going through the stages 😅. Perhaps that is for the best...Unlike the first set of letters in the first four stages, these ones are actually required to get after all.
Mega Man IV is the next installment of Mega Man on the Game Boy and the biggest one yet. So far the Game Boy titles have been feeling a bit smaller than their NES counterparts, but that all changes with the coming of this new game. It even makes use of a new mechanic that the NES games never had: The addition of the P-Chips as a system of currency! Mega Man will be able to upgrade himself with a lot of useful items during his adventure by handing these P-Chips to his master Dr. Light so he can help him out. And helping something he surely needs to do, because Dr. Wily is back once again and he seems to be more powerful than ever. This time around it will be quite the chore for Mega Man to stop Dr. Wily yet again.
