My memory is fuzzy, but I didn't find the beginning that difficult. Granted, I did grind a couple of levels on the intro stage, but I don't recall having any problems with any of the robot masters.

Is there any way to fight robots stronger than in the bonus stages? It seems like a very slow way to raise stats, and player battles don't seem to give any, so...

A spreadsheet would probably be the simplest way to do it, I guess... Though maybe the starforce page could show all of the stars from the beginning (once you unlock the Starforce thing, anyway) and each one you get is highlighted?

Are there plans for any sort of system for field stars that show you which you do have and which you need in an... er, easier to figure out way? Given the sheer amount (and that's not even with all the fields in the game yet!) I feel that something like that should be a thing.
...It'd have to be really big though.

I hope this is the right topic for this question (i'm so bad at this gwahahaha) but if someone were wanting to try and do some sprites for an (assumedly) unmade robot master (such as splash woman, for instance), where would they go/who would they ask for permission or whatnot?


Tangetically related, are there any plans for the more humanoid fortress bosses like Darkman, or Breakman?

Hadn't found any better place to ask, so I figured this would work. Would characters original to the Archie comics (mostly speaking of Quake Woman and the Roboticized masters- aka, the robotic versions of the Sonic characters like Silver Man and whatnot) be able to be added to the game at some point? I figure it might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe the bosses from Street Fighter X Megaman as well.

...I don't really know the policy on crossover characters, haha.
