I fiddled around with this a little bit.
Some of the design choices kinda make no sense to me though.

Whenever you connect large areas with a floor or ceiling tile the game fills in different types of blocks in the middle.

I chose a metal floor from Mega Man 3 and I made the floor, then I decide to put some ledges on the floor and the maker filled in the ledges with rocks.... Keep in mind the floor tile I chose was metal.

There are some odd physics quirks as well.
The falling blocks from Gyro Man's stage in Mega Man 5 are pretty glitchy.

All that aside it is quite a neat little thing that lets you make Mega Man levels.
You can mix and match tiles from all 6 NES Mega Man games.

I heard from the dev that tiles and enemies from Mega Man 9 and 10 will come in updates eventually.

I recommend you guys try it out for yourselves. :)

Yeah since this is still new I'd expect updates that fix stuff and add in more content. What's exciting about this is it could show capcom that a lot of people really do care about the series still.

Maybe they'll make more games but I guess that could go either way. :P

And GameMaker is a good platform for projects and games like this. It gets a lot of flack for being "simple", but hey, Undertale was made in GM and look how well received that was.

I tried to make an Always Sunny in Philadelphia level where you play as Dayman (Flameman's item only) and infiltrate Knightman's dungeon.

That was a fun decent level :)
 
I recorded my playthrough.

Awesome, glad you liked it.  I'm making another one with custom music, and the boss plays more like a puzzle, getting to him is the hard part.  It'll also be a lot longer.

Can you disable the new abilities they've added to the Top Spin and Charge Slide? That's an important option to have. I don't like that there is a sprite for checkpoints, the original games just dropped you at a checkpoint if you died.

I don't believe so. You could try suggesting this on their forums, but if it's implemented then the level list will probably need to be given some way to indicate which version of the weapons are in use.

The PSP remake of the first game had visible checkpoint flags when you played in the 'New' style. That's also where the Party Ball object is from.

Interesting. I'd be curious to know if you can turn on/off the slide, and choose whether or not to have either version of the charge shot (5's was larger than 4's), not to mention the various pre-Rush Items, and the multiple versions of Rush. Man, stuff like the Super Arrow, rotating magnetic platforms from MM9, and moving block pathways from MM5 have so many possibilities. I should probably stop asking so many questions.

I am totally impressed with this fan game! It is a shame that it can't be used to develop a full game, but it is still great for what it is. I have a total of eight stages I've made with the intention of simulating an actual Mega Man stage, and would love for you to try them. There are 4 robot master stages and then 4 fortress stages. I was going for Mega Man 9/10 like difficulty and tried my best not to make anything unfair! Each level features an secret "M" or "E" tank. 
 
Here are the stages:
 
Stage 1: Abandoned Sewer [Toad Man] (ID: 64617) Difficulty: Average
Stage 2: Submerged Castle [Knight Man] (ID: 78701) Difficulty: Average - Hard
Stage 3: Military Tower [Napalm Man] (ID: 63755) Difficulty: Average
Stage 4: Secluded Greenhouse [Plant Man] (ID: 67813) Difficulty: Average - Hard
Stage 5: Fortress Entrance (ID: 76404) Difficulty: Average - Hard
Stage 6: Fortress Lab (ID: 76421) Difficulty: Average - Hard
Stage 7: Fortress Ascension (ID: 78793) Difficulty: Hard
Stage 8: Fortress Tomb (ID: 79824) Difficulty: Average - Hard

If you'd like to try them out, I would love to hear feedback! Also, if anyone has some they've made and would like to share, I would love to play them! This is a fun little engine.
