Overview
The Reality Core is the final Wily stage in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, being notable due to it being over an hour long on an average first completion.
- Path to the Reality Core: The stage begins with a short autoscrolling section, leading to the Reality Core and a brief cutscene in which Wily's plans actually work and he jumbles up reality!
- Warped Nostalgia: The entrance to the stage's massive maze, where Mega Man must traverse through several rooms based off of his official games, ending in a fight against the Holo Dragon.
- The Maze: After falling several screens, Mega Man is thrown into the maze, based off of previous Mega Man levels. In the center lies a teleporter room with recovery items and a teleporter that will lead to the final boss only when activated. Stationed around the maze are five glitched rooms, which will take the player to the five sub-stages mandatory to progress, but as the sub-stages are beaten, glitched spikes will appear in some rooms, blocking the path and forcing the player to take a different route. The player's progress is saved after beating each sub-stage.
- AceSpark - Tiers 1 & 2: A gauntlet of remixed stages from tiers 1 and 2, but in surprisingly pleasant, non-infuriating ways! The stages used, in order, are Snow Man, Wily Tower, Colorful Hall, Gigavolt Man, Dragon Lab Lair, Cardinal Man, Quirky Unconsistent Incomprehensible Nonsensical Track (including it's miniboss), Ancient Tomb (made into less of an obvious level edit), Airflow Hubble, Yggdrasil, Rush City and Mix & Match. The boss of the area is the Bondjoe Chimera.
- JupiHornet - Tiers 3 & 4: A gauntlet of remixed stages from tiers 3 and 4, made up of SMB3, Neon Man, Combust Man, Enhanced Mobility, Taco Man, The Dampening, Candy Panic, Poorly Named Level, Jungle Base, MegaLondo and Forgotten Fortress. The Chompbust Chimera is the boss of this area.
- Beed28 - Tiers 7 & 8: A gauntlet of remixed stages from tiers 7 and 8, made up of City Under Siege, But It Lacked the Depth to Convince Me That This is Really Hell, Spiky Situation, Bouncy Castle, Cursor Curse, Force Man, Smed's Big Annoying Mess of a Level, Gunpowder Cellar, Conveyor Mayhem, Bond Man and Ruined Lab. The Matchforce Chimera is the boss of this area.
- Cruise Elroy - Tiers 9 & 10: A gauntlet of remixed stage from every stage from tiers 9 and 10, with a twist; the majority of this area is spent as one of the four Robot Masters from Identity Crisis. The stages used are Guts Man's Asteroid, Mount Sabre, Neapolitan Man, Cyber Man, Identity Crisis, Sheriff Man and Misty Lake, Sector Upsilon 6, Komuso Temple, Rad Gravity, Donut Observation Center, Quarantine Woman, Haunt Man, The Stage Nobody Asked For, Launch Man & Shuttle Man, Truffle Man, Beneath Sand and Rock and Boil Man. At the end, the player reverts to Mega Man to fight the Cybersheriff Chimera.
Strategy
The first part of the stage is an auto-scrolling segment containing only acid droplets and spikes.
After a brief cutscene with the Reality Core's activation, the player is thrown into a huge maze, akin to the Great Maze from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Wily's Labyrinth from Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, where they must navigate to five sections each based on submission gimmicks from their included tiers and defeat the Chimerabots there to unlock the path to the exit.
