Let's start the Wily Tower minigame with a bit of monkey magic.\n\nCommentary:\n\n0:13 - Wily Tower is now an option. Select it to get things rolling.\n0:53 - Wily's trash talk is more humorous than intimidating. Anyways, there's 3 robot masters, followed by a Castle stage. The three masters are based upon the classical novel Journey to the West, and the order does not matter.\n1:07 - This is the real awesome part of Wily Tower...you get to pick ANY 8 weapons you want! You also get to pick 3 items. Customize your own personal arsenal. Most bosses are weak to several weapons, so it's hard to pick a bad combo unless you try. I take Thunder Beam (strong, multidirectional), Metal Blade (frikkin' DUH), Crash Bombs (blow up walls), Hard Knuckle (blow up walls, very strong weapon), Air Shooter (to get around a weakness), Fire Storm (great all-around weapon), Ice Slasher (freezes enemies, also a weakness weapon later on), and Search Snake (crawls on walls). Magnet Beam, Rush Jet, and Rush Coil are the pick of the items, though Item-1 isn't bad either.\n2:01 - The stages are original, but incorporate enemies and level designs from the first 3 Megaman games.\n4:01 - There's always room for a bit of experimentation. The weapons have been semi-balanced here in how they do damage to enemies not in their games. The Thunder Beam, for example, will kill most MM1 enemies in one hit, but does very little to MM2 and MM3 enemies.\n5:07 - They like to hide the E-Tanks behind destroyable walls, so taking Crash Bomb and Hard Knuckle is a good idea in the appropriate stages.\n5:31 - Uh...\n7:09 - Buster Rod-G is the hardest of the 3 Masters here. He knocks away weapon attacks with his staff. The best way I've found to beat him is to use Hard Knuckle, jump, fire, and direct the fists above his staff into his head. He's very weak to it, so it won't take long. If he changes up his strategy and floats in the air while striking at you with his staff, break out the Air Shooter. Buster Rod-G is weak to: Hyper Bomb, Air Shooter, Bubble Lead, Rolling Cutter, Ice Slasher, and Hard Knuckle. \n7:21 - When he's at 1 HP, he retreats. Trust me, without the Knuckle, he's really, really hard. By the way, he's based upon the character Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, also known as Son Goku. Can you think of any other characters with a monkey tail and telescoping staff based upon him?
