History YMMV / MegaManAndBass

* ThatOneAchievement: '''Ground Man's CD.''' Screen Crunch makes it worse for the GBA.

* ThatOneAchievement: '''Ground Man's CD.'''

** Worse, the CD has to be dug up with Rush Search in a place that forces the player to spawn the drill which will land on Rush and interrupt his [[{{Padding}} long and drawn out digging animation]] before he finally uncovers the CD. The player cannot switch from this ability or Rush will disappear, and must use the Mega Buster to fire on the drill enemy before it strikes Rush and/or eliminates the chance to get the CD. But while Rush Search is active as Mega Man's primary weapon, his Buster shots actually grow ''weaker''- it cannot charge and only fires pellets, with the damage potential reduced. Worse still, the drills leap up and down and require perfect aim and at least three hits to destroy, rather than going down after taking two shots from a normal Robot Master. By the time a Dig Mole appears from below, it gets out of ground level firing range in time to deliver the third hit, so you'll have to jump in time with it and then fire, hoping the shot connects. You need ''expert timing'', and insane luck.

** Summed up best by WebOriginal/RoahmMythril [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYG9GYmXe8s in his guide to get this CD]].
--> [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, gods, it's time for Disk 84 in Ground Man's stage- the Disk of Eternal Suffering and Hatred.]]
--> Seriously, [[WhatWereYouThinking who at the Capcom offices thought this]] would be a fun disk to have people collect!?
--> Oh, Ground Man, you evil ''bastard'', ''why'd'' you hide your disk there- ''WHY?''

* HilariousInHindsight: A game that was ported to the GBA to celebrate a famous mascot's 15th anniversary that suffered heavily from [[{{Somecallmejohnny}} screen crunch?]] It would happen again 4 years later to another [[SonicTheHedgehog famous mascot]], except way [[Horrible/VideoGameGenerations worse.]]

* ThatOneBoss: Burnerman. He has a charging attack that's tough to dodge and deals a ton of damage, his Wave Burner can block your shots and pin you in a spike-filled corner, and he sets beartraps that grab and hold you, leaving you wide open to attack. Also, there's the issue with his weakness; while most bosses in the series will let you get away with just spamming their weakness until they're dead, Burnerman will not. Fighting him with the Ice Wall turns him into a bit of a PuzzleBoss that requires you to push the wall into him, forcing him into the spikes on either end of the room, a task that's easier said than done.

** The third and final fortress level isn't much better. This stage includes the inevitable BossRush, but rather than fight the robot masters in a teleporter room as usual, it goes back to the ''MegaMan1'' method of fighting each robot master one at a time throughout a MarathonLevel which is particularly brutal for Mega Man due to some of the platforming segments (Bass can use Treble Boost to fly over most of it). Finally, there's the two-part final boss fight with Dr. Wily at the end, and by then you're likely hurting for health, energy, and possibly lives, due to few refill opportunities being made available throughout the stage.

* ThatOneLevel: The second level of King's fortress could have been broken up into three levels easily. In fact each section ends with a boss: King Tank, King Jet and King himself. The King fight is also three phases long, just to add to your misery.

* PortingDisaster: While the GameBoyAdvance port isn't bad overall, Bass' dash move does not have a set button on it, unlike the SuperNES original.

** The other major candidate is Dynamo Man. Unlike Burner Man he is very vulnerable during most of the fight. The problem is he spends most of the fight in BeamSpam mode. He also forces you into a SadisticChoice of forcing him to fire hard-to-dodge projectiles, or guessing where his Lightning Bolt will strike with no warning. Finally, he will jump into a recharging station partway through the fight and will completely heal himself if you don't destroy it quickly. The Copy Vision will trick most of his attacks and let you focus on dodging the rest, though.

** There's also the King Jet. You have to fight it on a FixedScrollingLevel, having to constantly jump from one small platfrom to the next. The Jet itself does everything in its power to make you fall, including sending out [[BlindedByTheLight flashbangs]], a RocketPunch that destroys any platfrom it collides with (often the one you just started to jump to...), and finally the above-mentioned WaveMotionGun, which can at least be countered by destroying its power crystal before it finishes charging. The Jet has no apparent weakness, and no lifebar so you can't even tell if you're doing much damage or not. At least the game was kind enough to make an infintely-spawning 1-Up appear shortly beforehand so you can retry the battle as many times as your sanity allows.
