If Mega Man were in Ebenezer Scrooge's place, he wouldn't allow himself to get strung along a redemption journey by a bunch of weaksauce spirits. Naw, he'd blow the sh*t out of 'em and call it a night!
That's exactly what Mega Man sprite repository Sprites Inc. has done with this special holiday-themed fan game. This bastardization of the Dickens classic repurposes the four spirits (including the ghost of Scrooge's old business partner, Jacob Marley) as Robot Masters under the command of a deranged Santa, a very obviously drunk Dr. Light. Mega's got no time for this malarkey, so he skips the levels and jumps straight to the boss battles.
It's a very short and humorous treat. Give it a spin! What else are you gonna do this weekend, anyway?

It just wasn't fun. At all.
Wry Guy/ Gamescook:
That is the first time I've heard of that glitch, and it's not like the game hasn't been playtested often enough - you are the first to report it.
What exactly were you doing at the time? Did it just occur? I'm adding in a fix that should prevent it.
To the News Poster:
Is there any chance you can link to the Newgrounds version instead rather than eating my bandwidth? Thanks

Also thanks for the comment warhead. For the record, I switched the controls about, since more people are used to that.
I actually do appreicate negative comments, as it helps improve the game... but some people on certain gaming sites (not nesserarly this one) have been rather rude about it. I guess that's the internet for you.
I have been fixing issues non-stop. At the end of the day, I just wanted a fun little Megaman game for my Youtube and Sprites INC fans. I was rather shocked to see it here.
