Why This Mega Man 2 Boss Shouldn’t Exist

If you remember the Mecha Dragon in Mega Man 2, you probably noticed how entirely different it is from other bosses in the game.

In this video, I explain exactly how Capcom cheated in Mega Man 2 to make one of the most iconic Wily stages in the classic series.

I walk through why the NES normally struggles with large enemies, flicker, and screen overload, and then show you how Capcom worked around those limits instead of fighting them.

You will see why the Mecha Dragon looks massive, stable, and clean on screen when it really should be falling apart, and why that illusion only works because of a deliberate design trick.

If you enjoy Mega Man 2, classic platformers, NES history, and discovering how developers bent the rules to create unforgettable moments, this breakdown is perfect for you.
