"A Wily Boss Archive was a very clever boss idea that I found very enjoyable!"

―MrKyurem, in his judge review

Research Facility is the 6th place entry in Make a Good Mega Man Level. It is a pretty simple level with pretty simple levels and gimmicks. It features the Wily Archives as a boss.

Strategy

This is a rather simple level. Just fight the enemies and do the somewhat simple platforming. For info on the Wily Archives boss fights, see the Wily Archives page.

The weapon archives were SUPER neat and you had a great selection of bosses! Great choice of music too! The whole stage was just a lot of fun to go through. Though I do feel that the actual stage apart from the bosses was just 'a stage'? It's nice to see the sparkman platforms get some use but besides the bosses everything just felt like it was...there.

That's a very nice take on the Wily Archive. All the boss parts were so well-crafted, and they generally struck a good balance of "faithful" and "improved". I think you could have done a little more with the inbetween sections, but even then, what you have isn't bad.

Nothing about it really stood out as good or bad, it was just... there, really. The Guardian Archive, on the other hand, I rather liked that, and it was the main source of fun from this level, with one exception. The Cossack Catcher is an absolute pain to fight, and cost me two of my E-Tanks, something no other boss can say so far. That docked you pretty significantly, as I found that downright frustrating

The rest of the stage, while somewhat devoid of enemy challenges, laid out some good game design demonstration, and each asset of the level was, for the most part, well introduced and tested.
