OverviewEdit

Despite being a hack of Rockman World 3, this game bears very little resemblance to it. There are 5 robot masters, marked on the level select screen as Frost Man, Clown Man, Tengu Man, Grenade Man and Rock Man. However, on the screen afterwards, the name and sprites don't match. (i.e. Frost Man on the robot master select screen is called "Tengv Man" (sic) on the following screen with a sprite of Spark Man) As well as this, the actual boss in every level isn't a robot master at all, varying between a car, a flying dreidel and a penguin.

The engine is mostly rewritten, with many glitches throughout. One serious glitch is that sometimes, after killing so many enemies all of the remaining enemies and moving platforms disappear, making the level impossible to complete. Another major glitch is found when battling the boss on Clown Man's stage, where the game will sometimes reset itself without warning. Rockman's health bar is bigger than normal and he can't collect any weapons in this game, nor does he have any extra weapons at the start. As a result, he only has the Mega Buster and the pause screen is blank, aside from showing his health bar. Charging up the Mega Buster is completely useless, as a charged shot does no damage. As there's no weapon energy, all of the items refill Rockman's health. The graphics are taken from the Rockman games and simplified. The music is poorly remade from Rockman 3 and 4. There is no ending, with the game going back to the robot master select screen after beating all of the bosses.

Rockman X4 (GBC)Edit

Rockman X4 was released by Yong Yong in 2000 and is mostly Rockman 8 with an attempt at colorization, but it has different intro pictures, and a different stage select screen.
