Note: The game has been overclocked to remove all slowdown (this has no adverse effect on the rest of the game).
This is probably the hardest Wily stage so far, but that's really only in comparison to the previous Wily stages. For an endgame level, it's pretty simple. Just bring a good set of weapons and you can probably get to the boss on your first try. That said, this stage took me the longest so far to get a perfect run on. Though that wasn't because of the level...
...but because of the boss. Buster Rod G makes a final appearance as a boss after surviving the first encounter, using his buster instead of his rod this time around. While I love the design of this boss battle, it was quite difficult to not take any damage against him. His shots always aim for your current position, so you have to do your best to find safe spots and attack him inbetween his shots (this is a lot harder than it sounds). Not to mention that he shoots faster after losing half of his health. If you want, you can just shoot five Hard Knuckles at him right at the beginning, killing him in seconds, but I find that a bit cheap. Whatever strategy you end up using, just make sure you don't fall into the bottomless pit below.
