Just so people know world 2 was made by a different team and Capcom was so disappointed they immediately hired the original world developers and the rest is history
2 was insanely easy haha
2 on Gameboy is the worst classic Mega Man game imo. 5 on Gameboy is one of the best
Quint isn't a Mega Man Killer because he literally IS Mega Man.
I think its technically WAS, since he was reprogrammed, so counts as a new bot and therefore still a mega man killer
@@nesendahe is not. Quint and Terra are Mega Man Killer adjacent
Megaman World:A Decent Start.
Megaman World 2:A Mediocre Sequel.
Megaman World 3:A Solid Improvement.
Megaman World 4:A Genuinely Great Game.
Megaman World 5:A Amazing Ending.
Was 1 really a decent start? I didn’t much care for it tbh, you get 5 new weapons before the very last stage which is super weird. Also, Fireman and Heatman in the same game, for what?
@@Drm3221Well it's not a great game, but I think the game is workable in its own way.
The game is fun to play sometimes,the challenge+difficult despite being messy (and a little idiotic sometimes...)makes me get hooked when playing,The gameplay and graphics are good and...Well that's it,It's a decent little game to playing in your free time...Nothing great but It's Fun despite being having massive flaws.
(But certainly the part of the game having two fire robot masters is super questionable.)
Fun fact: GB Mega Mans 1, 3, 4, 5, and Mega Man X3 are all the same developer. So if GB Mega Man 2 feels off that's why. They also made the Game Boy port of Bionic Commando which is a really good Bionic commando game as well.
@@chronossage You can add Rockman Mega World/Mega Man: The Wily Wars to that list as well
dude really said “a ending”
It’s funny though: if you ask the fandom, I think most will tell you that World 4 is one of the best games in the series. The level themes might be reused, but a lot of the actual level designs are improved from the NES versions
The fact that you consider Rockman World 4 unremarkable because it reuses NES contents yet you say that it's an upgrade from the previous titles and at times you actually praise the game based on its merits is so fucking annoying lol
Tbf you can acknowledge something is better while also saying it’s not exactly memorable
@@DwayneTheSquidJohnson
I mean its shop system and specific usage of splitting the 8 bosses in 2 sets of 4 was latter used for the mainline games 7 and 8.
So at least someone at Capcom though these additions were remarkable.
One project I’d like to bring up that wasn’t mentioned is Mega Man: Rulers of Space which is a remake of Mega Man V in the style of Mega Man 7.
World IV is straight-up one of my favorite games in the franchise. The cinematic presentation and addition of a shop system before Mega Man 7 got around to introducing those concepts into the console entries was not something I were expecting from a mere side entry on inferior hardware. The introduction to the Wily Machine in particular absolutely floored me when I first saw it.
Yes and the opening title screen theme song goes so hard. I have it as my UA-cam intro
Strange this video doesn't mention that dustman in world 3 is like the most hellish megaman stage that has ever been concieved and cannot be cheesed because its WHERE YOU GET RUSH JET FROM
Lol I remember that one, legit felt like I was missing something cause those jumps were so hard
Yeah, you gotta use rush coil to get through a floor of spikes. Dust Man sucks, & Dive Man’s stage is no better. I generally like World 3, but the MM4 portion is the weakest part for sure.
Came here to say this.
World 4 is phenomenal, and world 5 is a masterpiece
Dr. Wily's revenge was my first classic Mega Man game. Like, it was so early in my Mega Man Fandom that I didn't know Mega Man and Mega Man X were different characters.
I bought this game at Wal-Mart when I was a kid and assumed I would have all of X's abilities like dashing and wall-jumping. Boy, was I in for a surprise.
Never beat it until it came out on 3DS back in the day.
I think I learned the difference between the characters when I saw the Ruby Spears Mega Man episode "Mega X".
Up until then, I honestly thought I was watching the same character I was playing on the SNES and was VERY confused why Zero (protoman) was working with the bad guy.
20:38 Yeah. There's a reason why the song for Ballade's DLC level in 10 is called "Farewell to Ballade"
Having played Megaman V now instantly in top 5 Megaman games for me
I did all the Megaman GB in order when they came out on NSO and enjoyed them, especially 3 and 4, but V being such a tight enjoyable game, especially with the new buster and shop.
I enjoy GB VI and V more than the Nes versions
The entire time I was waiting for you to explain what these colored megaman gameboy games are. Super excited for Mania!
HOW DARE YOU SAY NES 4 IS MID!!!
Came right into the comments to see if i should post that comment or someone did it for me, blasphemy i tell you. 4 is the GOAT from the NES Hexalogy.
GOD I LOVE MEGA MAN 4
I literally went "Oooh..." out loud when he said that like WHAT
atleast he didn't say it was bad
because mm1 literally exists
Eh, I guess maybe he PLAYED it and just..... NOTICED.
I actually really love playing World 2 because it is so easy to finish when time is short.
Otherwise World 5 is the definitive GameBoy title that even gives Xtreme 1+2 a run for their money.
world 2 might blow, but the rushjet1 version of the ost is some of my favorite music ever, not just game music,favorite music in general… also play quint’s revenge
This.
I was super disappointed when these dropped on NSO cause it means there won't be a collection coming any time soon. A colorized compilation would be phenomenal.
If Capcom wanted to do that they had every opportunity to put it in the original MM Legacy Collection, but didn’t. But honestly this works out a lot better because NSO input response is much better than Digital Eclipse’s Legacy Collection.
There is a colorized compilation in development! Antdude mentioned it near the end of his video, but Mega Man Mania is on the way: ua-cam.com/video/R-mmBJQliKQ/v-deo.html
Wait... so in Mega Man 2...Dr. Wily makes a Time Machine that can't travel into the past, but it can travel into the future, and he uses it to travel to the future and go back to the present... but if you traveled into the future, wouldn't the present become the past??? Am I overthinking again???
It records what time you came from so you can go back. What idiot would design a one way time machine?
Perhaps it just can't go back further than its own existence.
I wonder if he records these videos like scott does or if he's actually on the floor laying on his stomach kicking his feet in the air
It's weird to think that Mega Man 7 is actually Rockman World 6.
What?
@DoctorBlind-lh8zy well, think about it:
Bosses follow a 4-interim-4-castle pattern,
The item store was introduced in RMW 4, continued in RMW 5,
The ratio of sprite size to screen size,
And then there is Bass, the latest model of Mega Man Killers.
I called mega man and bass rockman world 6 due to having special robot master
Quint's Revenge is a fangame sequel/remake of MM2 with Quint as the player character (the jackhammer only shows up as a temporary power-up). Pretty good game with lots of new bosses, it's still basically Megaman World 2 with a more sharpened design.
World 2’s music is so high because apparently, there was a weird thing with the music where it played an octave higher than it’s supposed to be
World 4 and 5’s production values are insane, I love showing them off to my friends who haven’t played them.
Also can’t believe Ant said MM4 was mid smh
As for World 2’s music, it’s ass because of poor sound programming. It sounds fine when it’s actually programmed properly.
He said MM4, probably the most well rounded and polished games on NES, was mid. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when he also trashed MM&B.
somebody tried to remove the progamming error... no they just composed them wrong on the gb itself! BEcause somebody analayzed them and realized that even if the octaves shifted SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG REGARDLESS... but the sheetnote they would create actually could create some sort of listenable music so the major error in the OST requires a LOT more work than just "program it different"
@@alex_-yz9to I disagree but it's your opinion
@@Emberson-9000 He said he found it mid but only compared to the others. His point was that he can't bring himself to dislike any of them because they're all good to an extent.
Love the lore behind Quint plus his design. Essentially a green colorswap of MegaMan with Quickman's boomerang headpiece.
Well this is enormously nostalgic i to this day remember coming home from school and watching your megaman playthroughs on old channels it helped me get through school and the bullying as id just think i get home and can watch your next episode
Ive been here right from Sonic 3 on your first channel
I agree with good ol' Ant' about MM6 being better than MM2. Rush Jet & Power Adaptors ftw. Also, the MM6 OST is insanely underrated.
I love the detail in V's intro which shows Rock still has the same Buster as IV, as he does take the recoil when firing it.
...I... Never noticed the NSO ad for the five games had the lives counter reflect on what game was being shown on-screen... That was an unnecessary but amusing detail I would've never noticed.
When I was a kid (late 80s-early 90s) I would only get 2-3 games a year and I had terrible luck with my picks. This may be why I became obsessed with video game magazines! All we had to go on was the back of the box. I ended up with stuff like Karate Champ, Tiger-Heli and….Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum on NES, Boxxle, Alfred Chicken, and Mega Man II on Game Boy. Ugh. I played that game to death and I really don’t understand how I suffered through that horrible ear piercing sound. I guess I just didn’t know any better!
I think it’s all up an octave from what was intended.
I remember seeing these games at my friends' houses growing up. I was always curious how they compared to the original games. Cool to see what you thought about them!
love boss refights in MM games. to be able to have every weapon at your disposal and to abuse every bosses weaknesses and feel how much stronger you are than at the start. good stuff.
Fun fact. I've followed you a *long* time. First video was you playing through Mega Man 9, because I had no means to play it. Now I'm doing the same thing for another Megaman series. Full circle.
Thank you for the colorizations mention 💙
something i like better about MMW2 is that you can actually stop in midair like in the console games, as opposed to the other world games where your speed carries over into midair even if the dpad direction isn't held down
(i also kinda like that its easy, cuz the run-n'-gunnin is still fun)
WHY IS HIS NAME QUINT
In keeping with music-themed names, it's either from;
A type of sackbut, a musical instrument
A free-bass system for the accordion invented by Willard Palmer
A type of pipe organ stop
Or maybe a reference to a "Quintet"
@@SorcererLance the deadly QUINT and his menacing title with a brooding backstory
@@SorcererLance His name is actually just Quintet btw lol
Hell, according to his page on MMKB, they even say that there's an issue of Nintendo Power that straight up calls him that, so that answers that :P
I heard that Napalm Man’s stage on game boy is actually better than on NES
11:58-12:00 Fittingly enough, Mega Man World 1 and 2 released back-to-back in 1990, so you're playing them as they were meant to be played.
I would have never have known about mega man Mania. If it wasn't for you talking about it, thank you.
I like to believe that rockman and forte changer from the future is apart of the meganan handheld series.
Mega Man 2 GB was my first ever Mega Man, so it has a lot of nostalgia for me. I accept it's flaws and that it's not a great game, but I still love it.
Fun fact: It's the only Mega Man game where Mega Man absorbs the weapon power from the final boss. In the ending cutscene you see him use that new missile weapon against Wily.
III IV are unironically better presented than the NES games they're based on, and V is hands down better looking and featured than the entire NES series up to that point combined
They figured something out with MM3 and just ran with it from there. Despite its difficulty it was VERY surprising just how good it was.
10:46 Correct Ant. Shadow MegaMan is effectively "let's do the Quint plot but with more meat and potatoes, and also a robot master who is an air conditioner."
And honestly? The Wonderswan game is genuinely pretty good.
I would love to see that game remade as an 8 bit game with improvements. The robot master designs are cool!
Just got into megaman, with 2 especially pulling me towards classic, and honestly I enjoy world 2 so much! Ill try to see it through before tackling the better world games but, if this game has one fan I can be them... the music is so precious...
Yeah, my tastes do not align with this review because even though I played the NES games I’ve always wanted to have these because of their unique take on everything. Even MMII. They were shorter games, but they had to be. They were made to be played on the go. For titles that were “unremarkable” Capcom sure as hell sure as hell seemed to like a LOT of the ideas as starting as early as Mega Man 6 on NES you started seeing elements from the Game Boy games making appearances. MM7’s shop was a complete nod to the GB games, and so was its game structure.
I'm so sick of hearing MMII is bad or whatever. It's a decent sequel, an easy entry point in a rather difficult serie, and it has tons of charm, including its OST. Yeah, I love this OST, it's original, it's catchy, it's great. MMII is good.
Quint kinda just exists to explain why classic Megaman isnt mentioned at all in X
Imagine if he were to appear in Megaman X9.
@@jameslawrenson1208 imagine if we actually get a proper X9
*EDIT: I most likely just took an obvious joke **_seriously_** like a total goof! XD Leaving the rest of my original commentup because y'all may as well get a laugh out of it. Even if it is at my own expense. XD*
Is that your head canon, a fan theory I've missed, or something the comics cooked up? If Capcom affirmed it, it'd still be a *retcon.* Look up the release dates:
_Mega Man II_ for the Game Boy released two years *before* _Mega Man X_ . Plus, _Mega Man II_ wasn't made in-house at Capcom. It wasn't even outsourced to the same company as the other four Rockman World games.
@@KamisamanoOtaku How is it a retcon?
@@PhantomOfficial07 You need to offer me some evidence that Capcom read the plot to Mega Man II and was all "Hey, let's make a Mega Man series for Nintendo's next console, but have it star a new Mega Man because we said Dr. Wily used time travel to kidnap future Rock in Rockman World II!"
It would be a retcon because, if it is now official (no one here has actually said it is yet), then it most likely came about because someone at Capcom finally remembered Quint from Mwga Man II and was all "Oh, we could use that to explain where the original Mega Man went by the time of Mega Man X." Which still wouldn't explain what happened to almost *everyone else* in the future. While human characters would likely have already perished (like Dr. Light), even robots like Proto Man may have succumbed to their own issues, by the time of Dr. Cain, there seems to be no remnant of the Classic series advanced robots.
Mega Man II (Game Boy) was outsourced to a developer named Thinking Rabbit... which had little to no idea how to design a Mega Man Game. Everything looks, feels, and especially sounds wrong. The soundtrack to this game is so bad that people have actively tried remaking it to lower the ridiculously high pitches.
Literally haven’t met anyone other than myself that says 6 is the best of the NES era, absolutely hyped to see you agree
"I even like the mid megaman games" immediately lists the best megaman game on the NES in my opinion.
Who on Earth says the Robot Master rematch gauntlet is a BAD part of a Mega Man game? (Except for MM1 on NES. That one's trash that got fixed in 2 and onward, then MM Unlimited thought they had to fix something that wasn't broken.)
I played these on the 3DS virtual console and I thought they were inoffensive. Like yeah, they’re obviously not on the same level of polish as the NES games, but with the smaller screen size, that’s to be expected. Still, I had a lot of fun with these games.
I played all 5 when they released on NSO, and after actually experiencing them myself I can definitively say that 2 is painful and V is my most favorite ^^
Idk, as someone who's playing these as their first Mega Man games, I kinda enjoy. Difficult, yeah, but kinda fun. I'm on 3 rn
NES MM4's one of the best. I'll take that opinion to my grave.
I've grown up with the Megaman game boy games. And find myself enjoying the first game more than the others mainly because of its simplicity.
I do enjoy the other games as well, (with the exception of MM2), I just find more enjoyment in smaller scale games like the first game. 😊
Not completely true with Dr. Wily’s Revenge being the only subtitle! On the licensed games side we have Mega Man 3: The Robots are Revolting and Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha!
All of the mainline games have subtitles in Japan too, but I know you mean in English
Mega Man World 1 happens between Mega Man 2 and 3
For World 2, there is a bug that made the music so high pitched
I heard the music is like that because the composer until that point worked exclusived on the master system sound chip and trought the game boy chip worked the same resulting in the music being an octave higher than it should be.
@mrpiccionedivino5598 maybe something along those lines, but the music is not the tone it is supposed to be. The music in-game is not an actual representation of what it's supposed to be. I like certain songs in it though, like the title music and stage select are coop in that pitch!
IV first introduced the shop. Sadly, it stopped after the great V.
Mediocrity? These games are amazing, especially the DX hack versions in color.
I'm surprised the Gameboy versions weren't included in the collection a few years ago.
Capcom once announced a colorized collection on the GBA back in the day that got canceled.
I've only played 3 before these were put on Nintendo Switch Online. I thought it was okay, but it ultimately felt like taking elements Mega Man 3 & 4 on the N.E.S and porting them to other hardware. I do need to check out V though.
Still waiting for that Metroid prime 3 review
Same here.
"I beat this game in 45 minutes" What? MM1 on GB was very hard for me, i love it, but theres no way i finished it in 45 minutes.
The game is short but yeah It's really hard. World 2 is pretty cheap with difficulty too.
He also played all of these on NSO and was able to cheese the difficulty with the rewind feature. At first I was surprised that he didn't mention the difficulty of 3 and then I figured he probably hit rewind until he won (which, fair enough lol).
@@totemlordreviews7242 that makes sense
Rockman Mega World AKA The Willy wWrs... another classic series with subtitle...
I am shocked you can talk about mega man world 3 and not mention that Dustman’s stage was way overtuned for difficulty kit has some of the hardest platform int in the entire series, and you only get the Rush Jet when you beat Dustman so you’ll have no choice but to experience every moment of it!
Mega Man Mania is on the way ;)
7:24
Hell yeah, me too! Mega Man 6 is my favorite of the classic series!
I don't know after the slowness and frustration of Rockman World I think 2 was kind of a nice break in a way. And Clash Man's music is actually good.
Okay legit question did AntDude get inspiration from ScotttheWoz or is it the other way around?
I thought i remembered hearing as a general consensus that all the megaman games on the game boy were at least solid aside from the second one.
So back in the day i bought the first one on 3ds virtual console. I did not think it was solid, it made me depressed
Considering Capcom is thinking about remaking the first three Classic Series games (based on their recent poll), I'd love to see them revisit the approach of the first four Rockman World games for bonus content. *Not* recreating the original Game Boy games, just splicing the appropriate bosses together and adding Enker, Quint, Punk, or Ballade.
If the remakes *do* happen *and* do well enough to then get the rest of the core classic series games, I'd actually love to see them adding a bonus mode that just lets you remix the games. Not a true randomizer so much as stitching together 8 robot masters (along with their Stages and relevant Items), some Fortress Boss Stages/Bosses, and then Wily Fights. Though I wouldn't complain if they also recreated Enker, Quint (yes, even Quint), Punk, and Ballade to add a "9th Robot Master" bonus Stage in somewhere as well.
If MM1 gets remade, there should be Oil and Time man from powered up and then Bond man as a secret 9th robot master. :]
@@PhantomOfficial07 I don't _have_ to have Bond Man as a secret 9th... but yes, I want Capcom to learn from Powered Up. Which they _sort of_ did; I have never played MMPU because it is a PSP exclusive (and I've never owned a PSP).
From what I have heard of MMPU, it does almost _everything_ I went in a Classic Series games; being able to unlock and playthrough as *every* Robot Master *plus* additional bonus characters, a level editor, and for remakes I like how it lets you play in a style that adheres to the original game or in the new remake style. I still think the visual aesthetic, while not bad, isn't as good as it should be. I thought Mega Man 11 *nailed* the look for a "modern" Mega Man game. As did Smash Bros.
*Relevant to what you said,* yes, I want Oil Man and Time Man to be present in the new remake. I know they weren't there for the "original" and I know there have been cultural issues with Oil Man, but as far as I'm concerned, they're now part of the original Robot Masters.
Megaman world 1 takes place between 2 and 3
*i got a bone to pick with you about you saying 4 is mid*
What happened to paper mario ttyd 64??? 😅🥺
Megaman World 1, 3, 4, 5, Wily Wars and X3 were developed by Minakuchi Engineering. Biox developed Mega Man World 2 but due to poor reception Capcom didn't rehire them.
Inafune actually like Punk so much that he personally designed Punk.exe. Punk.EXE is the only navi used by Mr Famous to not be designed by Fans. Those Navis instead were used later in the game.
*Thinking Rabbit developed World 2.
No, I'm not joking.
Lol i loved mega man 2 on gb it was my first classic my first game was mega man X so the 4 fighting robot masters then 4 more always thought it was a classic thing cuz i played megaman 7 and mega man 3 gb
Rob Man would like to have a word with you about Megaman 2, especially the songs
I guess we're not going to critique the ridiculous rarity of healing energy drops in these games?
Japanese mega man 1-6 had subtitles too
Nah, World 2 has always been my favorite.
somebody is remaking megaman V in 16 bit
dude plays
I feel like Im crazy, EVERYONE says Mega Man II's title music is ass but I love it, such a bop
i think you’ve incurred the wrath of the whole mega man fandom by saying that mega man 4 is meh. i don’t think mega man 2 is seen with such rose-tinted lenses anymore, but mega man 4 is considered to be a pretty good mega man game. it’s probably the most put-together game in the main series outside of 9 and 10
02:23 actually it's between Megaman 2 and 3
Gonna be honest...i played the heck out of 2...way too much. I loved it. I don't know if i was ignorant stupid or slow. Maybe all of them
Whats worse, Castlevania on gameboy or Mega Man 2 on gameboy
4:41 - Yeah this right here is why I actually LOATHE the first game. Bad enough it dumps a bunch of new Weapon Gets on you that you can only use in the final level, two of the Weapon Gets in the game overall are *fire based!* The fuck were you doing guys?! And that's on top of this first game being pretty shit in general.
9:19 - Seriously this alone makes the second game better than the first for me.
12:04 - And here it is, my childhood. One of two games I got with my brand new Game Boy, one of the few Mega Man games I ever owned for years up until the Gamecube era and to this day is still one of my all time favorites.
Just a heads up, Mega Man Xtreme just ports over existing Mega Man X levels to the game boy, Blast Hornet is the only one with a unique level and it's mostly floating platforms
Blast Hornet is in Xtreme 2
Also that game gives Volt Catfish Toxic Seahorses stage theme being the sewer for some reason lol
@@MegaNerdX same with Neon Tiger having Sting Chameleon's stage but with flying platforms
I finished MMII, not too shabby! Is it better than the NES? Eh, but back then, if that was your option to play Megaman I would find AWESOME
Now we're spoiled with choices. Main feature here is an historic short game
It not a demake it just a mega man side story
Just skip to Mega Man 4 on Game Boy. That installment is better than some of its NES counterparts! I was (and still am) blown away by its excellence.
12:32 Actually, that’s not the story at all, & it’s the American manual story that’s featured in every port & in the NSO. It turns out the plot is that the weather around the world has been changing & has been causing some chaos around the world. It turns out that Dr. Wily reprogrammed a Supercomputer to alter the weather & subsequently sent his robots(like the four from MM3) & are attacking the city.
There’s no mention of Wily digging in the earth & using oil shore platforms in the Japanese manual. At the end of the day, it’s just an excuse as to why World 3’s plot happens like how World 1’s plot is that Wily reprograms the MM1 robots & creates Enker as part of his plan so Rock goes & beats him, but I just wanted to point it out.
*Also, what did you say about Mega Man 4 being mid?* 🙃
Let me explain the timeline of these games realeses for the those who dont know. Mega Man I or a.k.a dr. Wilys revenge came out on July 26, 1991 that were made by a third party company named Minicuchi Engineering. After the somwhat succses of Mega Man I, Capcom that thay it was not the best that tge Mega Man handheld exsperiance vould get, so right after this they got another third party company named thinking rabbit to make Mega Man II and then release it on December 20, 1991. After the failure and terribleness of Mega Man II, Capcom notified Minicuchi Engineering that thier work could possibly be used again for Mega Man III. They then realesed the Game on December 11, 1992 and after Capcom saw that thier work was very polished, they kept Minicuchi to make Mega Man IV, which came out October 29, 1993, Mega Man V, which came out July 22, 1994, and even Mega Man X3 on December 1, 1995. The thought of letting other companies make Mega Man games did give nightmares to some of the developers but they seemed to be soon proven wrong. But unfortunatly, in the early 2000s' Minicuchi felt like they where too uncreditied to make more games and so they quietly shut thier bussines down and they were never heard of ever again.....
And if you others to know the story how these were made @AntDude Plays , Pin this comment for everyone to see.
And if you want other to know the story on how these were made @AntDude Plays, Pin the comment above for everyone to see. Also, if you are reading this, Thank you foe making my new favorite UA-cam video ever.....
1, 3, 4, and 5 were Minakuchi Engineering, who also did the Genesis collection and X3. 2 was some garbage and whoever made it is too embarrassed to own up to it.
also 2's songs are pitched weird and sped up, but if you slow them down you'll recognize them
Ah, yes. The company that made the Mega Man World games (minus 2). Great work there!
...Until you realize they are the team who also made Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Mega Man X3
I tried playing the Gameboy ones. I couldnt beat MM1 GB. tried for a long time. too hard. gave up. MM2 GB was much better. had tons of fun and beat it with little difficulty.
i guess youre right about the music it didnt sound that good. but i was able to play and beat it so i could care less how bad the music is.
2 at least had great new music unlike the others (sans 5) just rehashing the tunes from the NES games.
I started with 4 because I love nes 4, then I played V and loved it. Then I went backwards and played 3 2 1. Definitely don’t recommend that you play 1&2.
It's good, actually. Not as good as 5 though.
Bro literally said MM4 nes is mid when 5 exists. 4 is literally better than both 2 and 3.
I'm amazed you found MM2GB "frustrating". I have the opposite problem with this game, the shortest levels in the franchise, with barely any pits or spikes, AND you get both the Metal Blade, and the MM3 version of Rush Jet that allows you to fly through every level effortlessly.
...and then you called the level design in 3GB "decent" and I just have to accept we have very different opinions on these games XD
