Movie of Mega Man 5 (ＵＳＡのロックマン５), played by Baxter.

This is a great improvement to the previous version by Kopernical, summing to 3 minutes and 26 seconds of time saved.

The most obvious improvement comes in the superb well-planned use of the Super Arrow, which is used to dart Megaman through the stages horizontally and vertically. But there are many other improvements too, discussed at the author's comments.

Note: The movie requires FCEU 0.98.15.
