Plot: The plot is an interesting one, but there are several aspects (such as BassвЂ™s initial involvement) which arenвЂ™t made terribly clear by the game.

Sound Effects: A lot of the sounds are pretty awful Mega ManвЂ™s arm cannon sounds more like a pea-shooter than a plasma cannon. Music: The music is memorable, and several tunes are quite nice, although all of the music has an overall sort of tinny ambience. Also Mega Man canвЂ™t charge up in this game without sticking out his arm cannon. But many of them-particularly Mega ManвЂ™s running animation-look pretty bad in motion. Animation: Most of the sprites look fine when they are still. Although the actual quality of the graphics is pretty decent, I think some of the color choices could have been better. Graphics: Detailed and colorful, but maybe a little too colorful. (The developers should have written вЂњThis space intentionally left blank,вЂќ and then maybe I wouldnвЂ™t get so many e-mails about it.) (I suppose this is why Cut Man appears in the Saturn version of Mega Man 8.) Note that the empty slot on the weapons list is meaningless perhaps originally they were going to put something like Beat in there, but most likely they simply didnвЂ™t have anything to put there, so they left it blank. Whether Cut Man is actually in Mega Man 7 is still up in the air, but I doubt it, and so far no one has ever found him. At one time people were searching all over the game doing all sorts of insane things trying to get Cut Man to appear. For a while, a hot debate was flying through the Mega Man crowd over whether or not you could actually find Cut Man during the game and possibly even fight him and get his weapon. Yes, heвЂ™s in the comic strip during the opening. Note that the GameCube doesnвЂ™t have a Select button, so you use Z in that case.

However, Capcom forgot to put it in the manual for the Anniversary Collection (oops). ItвЂ™s in the manual of the SNES game, unlike Mega Man IV and Mega Man V where this feature originated. Press Select while on the stage select screen. or play on a SNES, which has no troubles at all with the translucent effects. Try looking in the help files for your emulator. Yes, there are ways around this-which basically involve getting your emulator to either support or disable the translucent layers-but these methods vary from emulator to emulator. Emulators notoriously choke on the translucency effects of water in certain stages. I canвЂ™t see when I enter the water in Burst ManвЂ™s stage.Oh, and for situations where you have the time to charge up-so why not?ДЄlso, stepping in to fill the place-in a way-of both Zero from the X games and Proto Man from the Mega Shows, is a new robot named Bass with his robotic dog, Treble. The only places where super-shots are useful are where the extra shot size is needed or for the few robots who are immune to normal shots but can be hit with supers. So donвЂ™t get too much in the habit of charging up.

In Mega Man 7, though, super-shots are practically worthless in many cases as the shots are only worth two normal ones, and itвЂ™s easier to simply rapid-fire. In all other Mega Man games, a fully-powered super-shot is apparently equivalent to the damage of three normal shots. The Mega Buster in this game has changed slightly. Eddie, on the other hand, does absolutely nothing! Oh well. Beat no longer attacks but instead saves Mega Man occasionally by catching the blue bomber out of a lethal plunge. (They call it the Super Adapter.) But the dog also has a new mode: Rush Search. Rush still has his Jet and Coil transformations from 3 through 5, as well as his Rush Jet and Power formations from 6-the latter two combined into one useful package. Of the ones that are present, most have new or different abilities. Rush, Roll, Proto Man, Beat, and Eddie (Flip-Top) are all back, although Tango is mysteriously missing. Light, a new robot named Auto is operating it, and he makes things out of Bolts instead of P-Chips. The Item Replicator is back, although instead of Dr. As IвЂ™d hoped, Mega Man 7 borrowed many of the elements that made Mega Man IV and V for GameBoy so fun to play.
