Game Description:
Mega Man 4 is a platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The game starts with the backstory of the original game as well as this one, which is a nice touch since Mega Man 1 had no such opening story sequence. Just like before, our hero must defeat eight robots, along with the mad scientist who created them...only this time it's apparently a different mad scientist!
As always, when you beat a Robot Master, you gain its weapon. Each Master is weak against one of the others' weapons. Additions from the previous entries are back, like energy tanks, Rush the robo-dog, and the ability to slide.
A welcome new feature is the ability to charge your main weapon, which gives you a slight edge if you haven't yet obtained a particular boss's weakness. There are two new support items: the balloon and the wire. The balloon lets you create floating platforms to jump onto (just like Item 1 in Mega Man 2) and the wire latches onto the ceiling and pulls you upward. They seem a little unnecessary since Rush is still present, but they give you more options to tackle any situation.
A password system is an added feature and lets you continue after defeating the 8 Robot Masters.

Hack Description:
Mega Man Showdown IV is the boss-only version of Mega Man IV that makes all stages except for Cossack 1, and Cossack 2 only 2 screens. Wily 3 are where you re-fight old bosses.
All boss stats have been edited (EX version only), all weapon energy consumption amounts have been edited, except music.
This should be the final version of Mega Man Showdown IV of v1.00 unless bugs are discovered. Also note that Mega Man Showdown IV you start with 0 lives which is new in this Showdown series and you get to choose between Normal and Hard modes depending what patch are you using.
The EX version of Mega Man Showdown IV brings more life to the game. All Bosses are customized to be stronger and harder to defeat meaning that they’re hyperactive and the hard mode version patches simply won’t give you any reflex time after getting hit.
The original showdown series is created by Vagla of Dragon Eye Studios.
