Catnip Presents: Man II -A Mega Man 2 USA Rom Hack- Created in a week from January 8th - 15th 2023 by CousinCatnip This fun hack was made to show off the new Famitracker compatibility with Mega Man 2 USA.

Man II features: -NEW MUSIC REMIXES -NEW LEVEL DESIGN -NEW BOSS ROOMS -NEW GRAPHICS + PALETTES -NEW SUNGLASSES -The Story- Mega Man has been having some weird dreams after his adventures in Mega Man 2... Why does it feel so familiar yet different? Explore his dreams and help Mega Man find the answer! -How to Patch- 1. Take the .ips file for the mode you want to play (Regular or FAST) and open a program to patch it like FLIPS. 2. Apply the .ips patch to a clean Mega Man 2 USA Rom (DOES NOT work on Rockman 2 Japan) 3. Play it with your preferred method! -Which Patch To Use- Regular - The Normal Developer Intended Experience. You Should START HERE! FAST - Uses a Speed Patch to make the game faster, good for a BONUS 2nd Run Challenge!

Wily 5's Wily graphics can get corrupted if you die once while facing him. It is still beatable but it becomes a "NIGHTMARE" scenario visually. I like to think Mega Man gets lured into a bad dream. 2. Sometimes you might hear Quickman's lasers, consider it a side-effect from Mega Man's dreams. They shouldn't hurt you. 3. One of the songs doesn't loop and goes silent but you probably will beat the level/die before it happens. I won't say which one though! -SPECIAL THANK YOU TO- Justin Olbrantz (Quantam) ProdigyRTA Yum for the music guide Famitracker and it's contributers Python Rockman 2 Editor by Rock5Easily The whole Mega Man Rom Hacking Community AND YOU AS MEGA MAN -Change Log- Janauary 19th 2023 - 1.1 Adds a new Stage Select Song, Fixed lights issue in Quick Man, and changes the Metal Man fight so you no longer get softlocked afterwards at all due to numerous complaints January 16th 2023 - 1.0 is released Thank you for playing!
