Line 7:
*** It gets even more ridiculous in the final battle with Dr. Wily. Just build a 2x2 fort (2x3 in the second phase), with Guts Man on the left side of the topmost layer. That will make it next to impossible for Wily to damage you at all.
* [[Goddamned Boss]]: Yellow Devil isn't exactly difficult (except on Hard, where its floor laser is hard to dodge), but the fight takes an annoyingly long time due to having to go through the long process of its pieces moving across the screen and reforming between attacks, and you can only get two hits at most on it per pass. The fight is still incredibly long with its weakness, as there's no pause bug like in the original.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: There are a couple of glitches in the level construction mode, including a bug that lets you drop through the boss room into the room below, ''and fight the boss there instead''.
* [[Needs More Love]]
* [[Never Live It Down]]: This game attempts to remove the [[Dumb Muscle]] image that had been commonly (and wrongly) associated with Guts Man since the ''[[Mega Man (animation)|Mega Man]]'' series. In challenge mode, all his stages are puzzles showing that he can be rather clever.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Ignoring the blackface design of the Japanese version, Oil Man is regularly disliked by players, who hate how impractical and useless his oil-shooting ability is.
* [[That One Boss]]: Well, it's not really that hard a game, certainly easier than the original, but certain Robot/Boss combinations are aggravatingly difficult. For instance:
** [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|Playing as any Robot Master and then fighting against whosoever wields their weakness is a recipe for pain.]] [[Breather Boss|On the other hand, playing as a Robot Master against the boss they are weak to...]]
*** Fighting Fire Man as Oil Man is one of the worst among these, given Oil Man's already-nearly-useless weapon and Fire Man's relative unpredictability (compared to other Robot Masters). On Hard Mode, this takes the crown undisputed for the most vicious boss in the game with how quickly he can annihilate you, and how harsh the fire wave, which he LOVES to spam, is. It even has the effect of turning Wily Castle 3 into the harshest stage in the game as well, considering you have not only the devil himself to deal with, but seven other very real threats, with the only consolation being that Oil Man's Copy Robot fight is among the easiest, even on Hard, since the main threat is nullified with his ability to walk over oil puddles and not slip. Take all the lives you can and pray, or you will burn, or even worse, beat Fire Man only to wipe out dealing with the rest of them. It's a nightmare, in short.
** [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Fire Man's flames go out in water, greatly reducing his combat effectiveness; therefore, fighting the CWU-01P robot, which happens entirely underwater, is bound to be annoying.]]
*** Oh, and [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]], this means Wily Boss Rush mode is borderline [[Unwinnable by Design]] for Fire Man, as he has ''no means of re-igniting himself afterwards''. And guess which boss comes next? Yeah, good luck beating [[Final Boss|Wily]] with the de-powered Fire Storm.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Changing Rock's name to Mega.
** The remixed soundtrack also took some flak for switching some of the tunes (such as Guts Man, Cut Man and Fire Man's stage BGMs) from minor key to major key.
** Also, some people didn't like the addition of [[Desperation Attack|Desperation Attacks]] for the 8 Robot Masters.
** The look of the game was given some flak, and the games sales weren't that much, possibly because of the style, so they didn't try out an otherwise impressive remake of the first game, which is sad, more entries could have meant more characters to play as.
** Adding the two new Robot Masters.
** Three words on the subject as to why we won't see any more of the Powered Up games: [[Complaining About People Not Liking the Show|Gamers are bastards]].
** Be fair, this was only released for PSP, which isn't exactly known for stellar sales in and of itself, except for the [[Killer App|KillerApps]].
