This is the fourth published movie of Mega Man 4 (ＵＳＡのロックマン４), played again by AngerFist and DeHackEd.

There are improvements in all of the stages, some more visible than others. The total amount of time saved is 37.1 seconds, achieved by being more accurate and using some cool glitches.

One person's silly idea is another person's inspiration.

This movie is essentially constructed by taking one controller and wiring it into two SNES emulators at once. The same input is used to play both games to completion.

In other words, the player plays two games simultaneously with one controller.

There is a visual anomaly during the battle with Serges in X 2. This is an emulator bug relating to the Cx4 chip used in the Mega Man X 2 cartridge.
