Hard Man vs Dust Man... I can't really explain this one. I've never heard of anybody cleaning up by punching dust. Maybe there was just no one left for the role. :o

Hard Man is pretty good. He moves slow, but he jumps very high. His hard knuckles do a truckload of damage, taking out tough enemies in seconds. His ground pound is... all right. It doesn't do as much damage as you'd like though. His turtle ability is very handy though. Nothing gets through it.

Dust Man actually has a pretty hazardous stage. The first part isn't too bad, although it does try to make you wait around. The junk spewers can be easily stopped with the hard knuckle. Then of course we have the unforming blocks. This is a pretty cool twist in my opinion. It does make for some dangerous challenges though. You need to think fast to get through here unscathed. Finally, the crusher area. There's definitely a few unique challenges here, but the sliding can be slightly buggy, and it will continue moving even after you try to move away from the crusher. Overall, a fun, but pretty difficult stage.

Dust Man, following the trend of romhacks/fangames, is much more powerful than he is in the original. It really tests your reflexes and you need to watch Dust Man at all times. His other attack where he sucks in junk is pretty brutal. If you block it with the turtle ability, then it becomes much easier, and that's what I recommend.

Hard mode bumps up the difficulty for sure. He can now fire at the floor, and slightly above you, which can really screw you up. He also jumps to the other side and spams forward dust crushers, increasing in speed. Turtle really helps here. He inhales more junk, meaning the junk cube will be even bigger. If you let it grow too big, then it becomes almost impossible to dodge at higher speeds.
