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.

• 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.

Other comments
There are interesing shows in Skullman, Dustman, Toadman, Pharaohman, Brightman, Wily 2, Wily 4 stage. This movie is about 12,000 frames less than my privious movie, with many improvements and more glitches used.
Enker room in Diveman stage and Shadowman rooms can also be skipped by HELL WHEEL like Wily 4 stage.
