"I am also fairly certain that ending classifies as psychological torture, which is illegal."

―MrKyurem, in his judge comment.

Spiky Meltdown is the seventh-place level of Make a Good Mega Man Level. It features many high-health enemies, which are introduced before the first checkpoint.

Strategy

This stage has many instances of having to dodge many bullets, especially in tight corners. If you get taken out by the Cossack Platform section near the start, exit and come back. It is recommended to use the Rush Jet in the Falling Platform section.

The music didn't really feel like it 'fit', though. The Plantman platforms were used really well, too. My only real issue with the level is the design of some sections. The Tackle Fire area felt like a bit much, and the huge area with the falling platforms felt a bit unfair, with a Spine catching you right after a group of bomb enemies...

I especially like how the level asks you to think ahead on several of the screens. As far as issues go, the long bridge was a bit of a mood killer, since any little mistake in that area usually meant a death. Otherwise, there's really not much to complain about!

Secondly, that's a Kevvviiinnn song in the background, isn't it? Third thing, this is actually a really solid level, I actually found myself quite enjoying this place, well, most of it. The Changkeys were an absolute pain in the rear to deal with (as per usual with respawning enemies in MaGMML), but other than that this level is pretty well made, and that spike scare at the end was evil. XD

I would say that, mainly during the horizontally scrolling sections with lava and falling platforms, there is a severe overpopulation of Tackle Fires and Gabyoalls, respectively, essentially rendering Pharoah Shot and Black Hole Bomb the only reasonable weapons in those areas. I’m also fairly certain that ending classifies as psychological torture, which is illegal.

Notes

• Spiky Meltdown is the only level in MaGMML1 to modify Mega Man's movement speed, as it is made slightly faster.
