I wonder if raocow is going to unlock any of the other characters. while the first three offer basic gameplay changes, the last guy changes how special weapons work, usually in a hilarious way. I think raocow would get some good laughs during the weapon demonstrations.

for those curious, here are the weapon changes:

Shadow Blade: hurts you on the rebound
Search Snake: snakes go in the other direction
Time Slow: works backwards, speeding time up. good luck with Quick Man
Pharaoh Shot: charged attack hits everything onscreen, including you (and Auto, during the weapon demonstration)
Star Crash: rapidly expands, similar to the MM5's Power Stone, but faster.
Quick Boomerang: throws it in an upwards arc
Tornado Blow: works like MM2's Air Shooter, but only fires the one that has the least horizontal movement
Laser Trident: are physical objects and subject to gravity, so it has reduced range and cannot go through walls/floors. still bypasses enemy shields

No real mystery. They just released the 1.0 version of the game in January 2017, but Spark Man's stage only came about in January 2021! Guessing it was just to have a little more content with some of the other extras they added then. For instance, I only remember eight unlockables and nowhere near as many achievements back in the day.

prolly coulda called this mega man 2.25d. y'know, 2 plus +0.25, like how 90 degrees is 1/4 of 360--this joke is kinda getting away from us as we write it but we're committed?
