Boss Comments:
Wily Machine 3: The day we see this thing make a swift entrance will be the day that we see MMX9...which is never. I'm aware that I did exploit its weakness here but I did at least mess around with it and let it live for about a minute and a half, which is more than I can say about the puppeteer's puppet doing all the dirty work.

Gamma: Oh boy, they sure wanted to pull out all the stops by making this a unique fight where no robot is left in the dust (though Limelight 1 did it first). Each phase requires the correct RM in order to move on and there's no exception to this.

Phase 1 (Metal): A fight in which you can win with a minimum of 4 buttons. Translation: You can achieve the Cement Shoes achievement.

Phase 2 (Flash): I didn't expect the successful attempt to feature the one cycle here but believe me when I say, you didn't miss a thing with that.

Phase 3 (Wood Man): The first 'tough' phase with Gamma and shows Woody's weaknesses in which he must wait for the shield to disappear before forming another one and his gigantic hitbox. I bet you never thought you'd here that relating to him again eh?

Phase 4 (Crash): Remember the Guts Dozer? Think that but with raining steel and laughably slower projectiles.

Phase 5 (Quick): This is what I consider the toughest phase of this final fight. There's so many factors that can end an attempt if you aren't careful. You have the spiked fist from the previously part, Wily's window, homing pills that disperse after an hour, and finally glitching between the leftover blocks and the floor to my death upon teleporting back in. For more details, see the ending of the video.

Phase 6 (Air): Congratulations, you finally blow up Gamma. What's your reward you ask? How about fun with bomb analogs and losing a number of attempts due to not completely understanding that the damn things bounce off each other and not just pass one another. That was a good time. :l

Phase 7 (Heat): Much like with Ice Man revenge edition, our handy Heat laser makes its return and isn't about to be one-upped by Wily. Did I mention this is an easy phase...? You weren't expecting me to add the messing up part were you? Sorry. :c

Phase 8 (Bubble): I don't know what's more ironic, Bubble Man getting the last laugh or me losing the only other attempt that made it this far because of a godly bomb drop. It's all worth it in the end since we get to rob Wily of his prized possession and with style.
