Play Proto Man (Mega Man 5 Hack) Online

Proto Man (Mega Man 5 Hack) is exactly what it sounds like—a romhack that swaps Mega Man for his red-armored brother. The controls feel familiar, but Proto Man’s slide is a little stiffer, and his shield doesn’t always save you like you’d hope.

The stages are remixed versions of the original, with some brutal enemy placements that’ll catch you off guard. I remember one section where they just spammed those disappearing blocks over a pit—took me way too many tries to get past it.

If you’ve played Mega Man 5 to death, this gives it a fresh coat of paint. But don’t expect a completely new game—just Proto Man doing his best in someone else’s adventure.
