Mega Man 6 - Plant Man's Stage

Next up, in no particular order, is Plant Man! Due to me going through the stages buster only, the only "order" I care about is going after Flame Man and Plant Man first so I can get the Power and Jet adapters. I do intend to use them to show various secrets and so forth in other stages, so having them is a must. I am basically taking the same sort of relaxed approach for the rules in these runs as I did in my Mega Man 9 perfect runs. Although none of the bosses are difficult enough in Mega Man 6 for me to warrant using their weakness on them (during their actual stage, at least).

Plant Man's stage is actually fairly long... Not long like Stone Man's stage from Mega Man 5, but long because there are many obstacles that slow you down. The biggest offender is the mini-boss (which there are two of as usual). The gorilla tanks are vey annoying to take down without robot master weapons as the only way you can avoid being hurt by them is to keep pushing them back with your shots. They do not get pushed back very far, though, so you spend a lot of time just shooting at them without any openings to actually DAMAGE them.

Plant Man himself is also a bit of a time waster as he likes to have his shield up most of the time. You can only get a maximum of two shots in on him each time he fires his shield away, so this can cause the battle to drag on for awhile. This is especially true without using charge shots as the buster only does 1 damage to all the bosses in this game.

Enjoy!~
