Mega Man: The Sequel Wars: Episode Red Part 3: Pharaoh Man Stage (+ Balloon Adaptor)
4Pharaoh Man's stage was always one of if not THE coolest stage in this game. You get to explore inside of an ancient Egyptian pyramid! It's just so good of a stage that Sequel Wars previews it in its overall title screen.
----------
Venturing deep inside the pyramid, you'll eventually reach Pharaoh Man.
And just like on NES, he's still completely helpless against Bright Man's Flash Stopper. Also same as before, since Flash Stopper doesn't damage him, you're just left to pick away at his health bit by bit with your regular shots.
Beating Pharaoh Man will gain you his Pharaoh Shot, which is one of the more flexible Special Weapons in this game. It can be charged like the Mega Buster, and the charged shots can go through enemies. You can also diagonally aim these shots upwards and downwards.
Long before this, though, I get an extra item: The Balloon Adaptor. I used the Rush Coil this time to reach the path that contains it. It will let Mega Man set a balloon platform that will slowly drift upward before popping. It's basically Mega Man 2's Item-1, but worse.
