The original (and often considered the best) entry in the sequel series to the OG Mega Man. While I'm not one to normally follow popular opinions, I do agree that X1 is probably the best in the series. I've played all the games up until X5 and a little of X6, and the only one that came close to capturing the magic of X1 was X4.
Not much to say about it. It's a simple jump and shoot platformer with some Pokémon-style elemental rock-paper-scissors thrown in. And its simplicity is really what gives it its charm. Anyone can pick it up and immediately understand it and enjoy it.
The colorful enemies and levels certainly help, too. And of course, there's the rockin' soundtrack. All the level themes are great. But some that really stuck out for me were those of: Launch Octopus, Storm Eagle, Chill Penguin, Bubble Crab (and Duff McWhalen), Gravity Beatle, Jet Stingray and Storm Owl.
Oh, let's not forget the secret Hadouken and Shoryuken moves you can do in X1 and X2 respectively.
