MM2 and MM4 are pretty good gateway drugs for classic MM, I feel.
2 stood the test of time for the most part (Boobeam Trap, Heat Man lava pool and Quick Man lasers nonwithstanding) while 4 introduces the buster charge (and retains 3's slide) that later games would use.
For X (since Kaijyuu brought it up), do start with X1 or X4 lol
Just keep in mind that X6 and X7 are of extremely questionable quality (and that the storyline was meant to end at X5 then go straight to Zero 1 so don't be alarmed if shit starts to not make sense whatsoever)
Originally posted by RPG HackerMy personal favorite so far would be Mega Man & Bass, though.
Same but @1UP, stay the fuck away from MM&B until you're familiar with classic MM's gameplay
The game's difficulty is Lost Levels/Dracula X tier
it's mostly a good game unlike DracX tho LOL
And play the SuFami version (with a translation patch if you want to read the CDs and dialogue), the GBA version has screen crunch issues and it just makes a tough game even tougher
