I both love and hate The Wily Wars. It's not because of everything that most people complain about, but rather a nitpick that bothers me to my core:

So, for the most part the artwork/sprites are the same relative size as they were back on the NES. The biggest exception to this, however, is Mega Man himself. For some reason, they enlarged Mega Man's sprite from the original, making him seem much taller than the likes of Proto Man, Roll, and even other Robot Masters, who all stayed the same size. In addition to this, it was ONLY the sprite that was changed. Mega Man's hitbox is still its original size, meaning bullets will pass right through his head and you wouldn't take any damage. Hell, when he fires, the lemons come out slightly lower than where his arm actually is.
It was obviously a last-minute change, but I have no idea why they ever did this. It pisses me off to no end and I hate it.

Sadly, The Wily Wars is an increasingly obscure game, and so as far as I am aware, there are no patches whatsoever that edit Mega Man's sprite to be its original size again, and actually line up with his hitbox. If somebody knows of a hack like this, or is willing to do such a hack, I'd be ecstatic to hear about it. If not, I'm going to learn how to edit sprites and do it myself, but that's not going to happen for a couple years at the least, with my shitty computer.
