Dr. Wily Stage 3:
The vertical fall through the spikes in this stage were my favorite part of Mega Man as a kid. It had just the right amount of thrilling danger, while not being truly that hard. It gave a real sense of victory to drop through unscathed. Also, the water is all brown and dirty, and you get the real foreboding music in this stage. I think this music is super underrated. It doesn't have a crazy fun melody like everything else in the game, but it's real good at letting you know you've hit the real depths of Wily's castle.



Dr. Wily Stage 4:
Okay, you're gonna have to stick with me on this one. When I was younger, I thought the Buebeam Trap (the boss of this stage) was the absolute pinnacle of game design. This was the most interesting thing a game developer had come up with. It's a boss fight, but it's also very much a puzzle. You have to plan an order to move around and fire. Boss fights in the NES days did not require thinking like this, they were usually reaction dodging or pattern memorizing or button mashing. I also thought it was unique that if you day, the barrier walls stay gone, so you could take those out first and need less grinding if there is a death. I know now that people really hate having to grind or game over if they fail this boss, and I understand that now that I'm older. I still think it's a cool concept, and the variety of giant foes & mysterious foes in Wily's castle really makes this game memorable.

The background in this room is fantastic.



Dr. Wily Stage 6:
Childhood me had a lot of misconceptions about what was visually happening in this stage. I thought it was inside of a tree. The walls were brown, like a tree, and you fall down the trunk, until you reach the bottom. Then you dodge dripping tree sap, until you fight alien Wily. When you beat Wily, there is a floating apple core. Then Mega Man walks home to his Swiss village home.
