This is my first Nintendo World Report (Radio Free Nintendo) RetroActive. Here's my progress:
Robot Masters
Magnet Man:[size=78%] The stage is pretty easy except for those disapearing blocks. I’ve always hated those. Magnet Man himself was a bit challenging. But I was able to defeat him eventually.[/size]
Hard Man: This stage was kind of hard. And I had to “farm” for weapon energy since I used up all my Magnet on the gorillas.
Top Man: This level was pretty easy. The cat gave me a bit of trouble the first time he appeared. I was able to beat them easily the second time onward.
Shadow Man: Ok, that whole darkness thing? Pretty cool. And what’s the red liquid coming from the ceiling supposed to be? I’m sure this would have been censored if this was a Castlevania game (like Super Castlevania IV). Shadow Man was easy to defeat with Top Man’s weapon but, I don’t like the mechanic.
Spark Man: This stage is pretty cool. And very easy. The most difficult parts were avoiding the electrical beams and especially the screws that unite in the air. Spark Man was a cinch with the Shadow Blades.
Snake Man: Snake Man’s stage is really awesome. The graphics are great and the snake heads look really cool. It suddenly turns into Airman’s stage at the end.
Gemini Man: This stage looks good, but it’s pretty annoying, at first because of the robots that drop flame walls, then because of the tadpoles, then because of the big penguins. Gemini man was real easy, though.
Needle Man: Needle Man’s stage was pretty boring. And Needle Man went down fast with the Gemini Laser.
Old Robot Masters
Spark Man Ruins:
Metal Man: I used Hard Man’s punches and he went down easy.
Quick Man: He gave me a bit more trouble because his boomerangs hit hard and you can’t have more than one Gemini Laser beam out.
Needle Man Ruins:
Air Man: Air Man was a bit difficult. I died a few times trying to jump over his vortexes.
Mini Bosses: Big Hard hat. This was annoying because you had to hit him square in the cross. I found the best weapon to be the Hard Hand.
Crash Man: I ran out of Hard Knuckle, so I had to use Needle Cannon. It worked pretty well against Crash Man.
Gemini Man Ruins:
Flash Man: He went down really quick with the needle cannon.
Wood Man: Took a few tries and an energy tank, but I was able to defeat him with the Needle Cannon.
Shadow Man Ruins:
Bubble Man: He was easy to defeat, but the Shadow Blade is no Metal Blade.
Heat Man: This has been the most difficult boss so far. He deals lots of damage and is very cheap.
I'll continue tonight.....
My old friend AussieBen posted this link on Twitter, and I had to share it here due to the perfect timing.

It's a hacked version of MM3 with a new arrangement to use Konami's sound chip that has three extra audio channels (the one in Japan's version of Castlevania 3). It sounds unbelievably awesome, yet still totally 8-bit and totally Mega Man.
