I don't know what you mean, I beat the whole thing my first time through just using the basic mega buster on bosses. I remember we had a few folks here even manage the no-hit achievement. It feels like the original NES games to me.
I think it was Gunstar who receives the “Mr Perfect” achievement. I’m not THAT good (or patient), but I really did enjoy MM9. MM10 and MM11 we’re both fine, but I don’t think any of them captured the old MM feeing like MM9.

I’m the same way. I need to be working toward a well-defined goal. My son put, like, 500+ hours into that game, though. He beat the dragon and “beat” the game dozens of times, but most of his time was spent goofing off with his friends.
The whole experience followed the beats of a childhood friendship too. He and his buddy would be so close, then one of them would be too “bossy” about what they were building together, and they’d have a falling out. They’d make up and be friends again, and then one of them would do something that “ruined” their base, and they’d be mad at each other again. They’d make up, obsessing over the game again, and the cycle would repeat. It was very cute. (He’s kind of ages out of Minecraft now, though, and he now plays mostly Halo Infinite and Fortnite.)
