This hack of Megaman 4 is different from the original Megaman 4. Weapons have new attacking mode, more hiden tools hide in different enemies or places, and we can also read a more interesting story. The enemies in this hack are originated from all of Megaman games. In this movie, I would show more tips and performance.

tips
• Use the buttons A or B on the 2P to switch weapons. Pressing them at the same time can initialize the weapon.
• To reach the fastest, I selected the first level of the skullman, because the weapon can make rockman run faster.
• If a buster's bullet damages a boss, he will get a very long unbeatable time. To save more time, I would rather make critical damages than make damages as soon as possible.
• When the explosion of Rush Cannon occurs, I switch a weapon to avoid extra lags.
• Switching weapons can clean the bullets.
• When get hurt while using HELL WHEEL, jump can restore megaman's speed.
• After 3 stages finished, Megaman will get Rush Cannon. After 6 stages finished, Megaman will get Wish Star.
SKULLMAN STAGE
• The dinasaur has 8 frames of invincibility.
• When a buster damages Skullman, he will get a 128 frames of invincibility. To make critical damages, I paused the game to wait.
RINGMAN STAGE
• At the mid-boss room, HELL WHEEL will make heavy lags, so I used the mega-buster to give the final shot.
DRILLMAN STAGE
• At the mid-boss room, hurting the enemy before he lands can cause a fatal damage.
DUSTMAN STAGE
• At the beginning of dustman level, the transfer belts make Rockman speed up or slow down, so I jump to avoid slow down when move in opposite and run to speed up when move direct.
• Use Rush Search to enrich the energy.
• Use Rush Cannon to instant kill the boss.
DIVEMAN STAGE
• The whale can not be defeated by Cannon because Rush is being used.
• Only mega-busters can cause Enker damages.
• Use Rush Cannon to instant kill the boss.

• The rain can make Megaman move faster when he is over the ground.
PHARAOHMAN STAGE
• Pharaohman can use magic to influence Megaman, but the effects can be cleaned by TOAD.
• Use Rush Cannon to instant kill the boss.
