* WhatCouldHaveBeen: For ''[=MaGMML2=]'':
** The Tier 4 boss fight is a DualBoss fight against two characters both named Scorch Man, one from the fan-game ''VideoGame/MegaManSunrise'' while the other is from an UnlicensedGame called ''Zook Man Z''. The latter was originally Scorch Man from ''Mega Man Eternal'', but the fan-game's creator objected to his inclusion, and the inclusion of ''Eternal II'' boss music, and thus both were replaced.
*** Illusion Man and Jolt Man from the same game also had their NPC roles removed for the same reason (though Jolt Man still has a background cameo in Tier 4).
** The Tier 7 boss, VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}, [[spoiler:who is subject to a BaitAndSwitchBoss]], was originally an unrelated Robot Master named Pepsi Man from ''Mega Man FU'', but the creator requested his removal due to the character's depiction, before the in-progress fan-game he originated from was ultimately cancelled.
** The [[spoiler:alternative weapon set and the Alter Man skin that comes with it]] went through this ''twice''. Originally, a scrapped post-game level had you [[spoiler:playing as Alter Man (the optional boss from the end of Identity Crisis), traversing ruined versions of select entry levels and obtaining the alternative weapons that were based on the custom Robot Masters of those levels one by one, and once the level is finished you would be able to use said weapons everywhere else]]. When the level was scrapped, the rewards were moved to the end of the Pit of Pits, but once the devs realised that [[BrutalBonusLevel only a few people would be able to reach the end of the pit]] (if you died, you would have to start over from square one), the rewards were finally cemented as Knight Man's reward for collecting 170 Noble Nickels.
** At one point in development, the length of the Yggdrasil comment caused severe problems with the game, which meant an alternative was going to be in place - another Comment Comic, but this one pointing you to a pastebin of the full review. Ultimately a solution was found, and it was deemed funnier to leave the full [[WallOfText "essay"]] comment that is in the final game.
** Several Judge comments were toned down before release, not changing the content but rather given less harsh language, following a bad reception on a live-stream done by [[LetsPlay/GeminiLaser Flashman85]].
** If he didn't start working on it during [[CosmicDeadline the week of the deadline]], [=RedBlupi=]'s Cyber Man level would have gotten more polish and additional elements, including the psychedelic bonus stage from ''Mega Man Final 3'' and [[MakeMyMonsterGrow a giant form]] that Cyber Man would turn into upon running low on health.
** The game was planned to include [[spoiler:a "Classic" mode, where you play through eight select stages and then the Wily Castle like in a traditional ''Mega Man'' game]] as an unlockable bonus, but was cut towards the end of the dev period.

* ActorAllusion: The alternate costume for Quint changes his slide into a dash, referencing his playable incarnation in one of [=ACESpark=]'s previous games, Quint's Revenge.

* MilestoneCelebration: The game was made during the ''Mega Man'' franchise's 30th anniversary, with the in-game festival reflecting this.

* ScheduleSlip: The submission period for the second game lasted from early January 2017 until the end of Feburary. It wouldn't be until May when the results would be announced by [=Flashman85=], and since then, several months have gone by without much word on any release date, and the game is still unreleased as of the beginning of September.
