Mega Man World 4 Napalm Man Stage Colorized Prototype

Описание: Five robot masters down and the next target is Napalm Man. Into an underground military bunker with some of the assets of Napalm Man's NES stage present, this area is a juggernaut of timed traps which involve patiently waiting for his tunneling drills to come into position. Also inhabiting the stages are his Sumatran tiger robots, Bomb Thrown launchers, Jet Bombs, Mizziles, and Metool Cannons. Not to mention deadly pitfalls and lethal napalm-fueled fires which re-ignite after being extinguished.

This stage is a personal favorite of mine. I went to great lengths to preserve as much of the original NES color palette as possible, including the green metal backgrounds, the orange machinery and segmented hoses, the cyan machinery and pipes, and the tan soil bricks. Like Bright Man's stage before it, this is one of those levels where the blank white tiles are used extensively to create either foreground or background; thus also colorizing the HUD at the bottom of the screen.

Disregarding the color bleed, it's still a very appealing stage with a lot of color contrast between cool and warm colors as opposed to the mostly icy look of Crystal Man's stage. Plus the military greens add further variation, bringing it closer to NES appearance.

From Crystal Man on, the stages feature a separate battle scenario save-state in which sprite and color collections allow the boss' weakness to be displayed prominently. In this case, it's periwinkle on white for Crystal Eye.
