Despite all this work on the top-down segments, I'm not vibing with 'em.

...might as well send this into Bonus Stage purgatory, and make an additional platform stage.

Now, if I have enough motivation for Mode 7 stages, though...

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.

Here. For reference.

For this one picture, they're either getting PS4'd, or they get faces.

What kind of bad guys do you see at a prosthetics factory?

These Leg Gunners are part of the security system.

I could have a part where the factory builds robots for you to beat up, but they're gonna be humanoids. They'd probably be like skinless T-800s.

Two screenshots.

I need to know where to draw the line on this level.

It's supposed to be a prosthetics factory of The Future. It could use a lot more Factory, though.

...so much for that zany scheme.

Let's see if I can do something else.

There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

If my plan for Sega CD-styled cinematics doesn't work out, Plan B would be the GBA-style cinematics.

If anything, they make decent filler.
