Lead

 * "fighting against the mad scientist Dr. Wily" - don't need to have two wikilinks together in succession
 * Fixed. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "While the game was praised for its graphics and sound being similar to the NES games" - repetition of "game(s)"
 * Changed to title. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Gameplay

 * Wikilink Mega Man the character on the first instance
 * Done. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't Nintendo Entertainment System be written in just the acroynms?
 * Sure. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikilink continues and lives to the relevant articles for those who do not know what they mean
 * Done. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Briefly explain who Dr. Cossack is to the uninformed
 * Explained. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Reception

 * Both uses of the % symbol in the prose should be written as per cent per MOS:PERCENT
 * Done. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Consider adding the names of the GamePro and Mean Machines reviewers in the prose as they have in the sources
 * The GamePro name is a pseudonym so not sure what to say about that besides what I added. GamerPro64  01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Did Mean Machines give any review other than reward a 75% rating?
 * Added some more in that part. GamerPro64  17:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "with complete copies going for $400." - the RetroGamer source says it is $200 not $400
 * Not sure how that happened. Fixed. GamerPro64  03:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "Because of the game's North American exclusivity, copies of the game garner a high price point," - repetition of the word "game"
 * Changed. GamerPro64  03:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
