This was an interesting angle for your review. I don't like mini-boss encounters in Mega Man games as much as you do, despite the purpose they serve, so I found the more environmental challenges in Mega Man 5 interesting (and they definitely give it a feeling of uniqueness compared to the other titles in the series up to that point). Anyway, good review!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

A few weeks ago I probably wouldn't have thought they were that important either. It just seemed odd to me while playing the game that it seemed easier than I'm used to, and I wasn't sure why until I realized this oddity. It just seemed really weird design decision for a franchise that isn't known for making changes.
