He says his issue with MM9's music is that it doesn't "flow" as well, while I'd say the MM4 tracks feel extremely stilted with really poor transitions between sections.

He's got a point with the similarities between Concrete Man and Wood Man, but then they branch off and become completely different tunes. He says it starts to sound like an NES Wily battle, but doesn't even say which one.

But then he says that MM4 has "grossly underrated" music, which makes me really question his taste. No, Malstrom, MM4's music isn't less recognizable because the game was less intense or because of the buster charging sound. It's less recognizable because it just wasn't that good. There are a couple of awesome tracks in Pharaoh Man and Dive Man but it's for the most part very weak.

You want grossly underrated Mega Man music, look at Mega Man 6. Of the eight levels, I'd say the only weak one is Wind Man, and that's just because it's a bit slower and doesn't have much in the way of a melody; it's still nice to listen to in the stage, though. The rest are all unique, energetic, and catchy. Plus there's the really nice Mr. X music.

Why does it say 160 for protoman and 240 for endless? this for everyone?
The 200 and 100 are referring to Wii points. I don't know what the exchange rate for dollars to XBLA points is, but it's probably the same price. For Wii points, 1 point = 1 cent, so 200 points is $2 and 100 is $1.
