Ahhh... man!!!
Way back when I was addicted (and I mean addicted, that Nintendo pad controller (you know so it was like an arcade) was the
best for that game!) to Mega Man 2... I did the "what would be cool enemies for Mega Man 3" deal (or was it during Mega Man 3 I thought forward to Mega Man 4?)...
Anyways... I had:
* Vine Man - you can shoot vines to swing across ceilings and shoot enemies from far.
* Light Man - you shoot a straight (laser) beam in the direction (and opposite) you were pointing.
* Lantern Man - (like that tree guy in #2, where the leaves circled you) you got a flame surrounding you so that you can run through enemies until the power runs out.
* Nuclear Man - kinda like the fusion cannon in Descent, you charge it up, and the a sphere of destruction bursts out to a radius you charged up to.
* Mercury Man - shoot blobs that can climb walls.
* Hyper Man - run really fast.
And that's just what I found from my old childhood archives.
