It is worth noting that many achievements cannot be earned playing in this mode. It will likely be a godsend for new players and speedrunners, but speaking personally I would have liked to see a mode that applied some of these QOL improvements (namely the removal of one-hit spike deaths and the reduction in damage) without having to max all stats. The mode effectively maxes out all stats and abilities, eliminates one-hit spike deaths and reduces damage. The second of these, known as a “Casual Scenario Mode”, is honestly a bit too much of an over-correction personally. The first of these is save points, which help divide the levels into easier, more manageable chunks. Thankfully this can be circumvented by two of the collection’s new quality of life improvements.

For example, at times text boxes can block obstacles on screen, such as spike pits and enemies (particularly egregious in a mid-game boss chase). What this means, in execution, is that many of the traps and leaps of faith can be very difficult to pull off.Īs well as this, other aspects of the game are also a bit dated and/or frustrating. For example, the camera is zoomed in to a rather extreme degree, likely to compensate for the lack of a backlight on the Game Boy Advance. It is worth noting that the game was released early into the life of the Game Boy Advance, and at times it shows. While the music is wonderful and the sprite work strong, some aspects of the game have not aged perfectly. Beginning with the original Mega Man Zero – it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
