About this game
Mega Man advances through action stages toward robot bosses and Dr. Wily. Each defeated boss supplies another weapon, so the tools available for an encounter change as you progress. Timed bombs and tornado-like attacks are among the options. The acquired tools also matter outside a boss fight. Special movement items can make footholds in the air or help reach high places. Switching equipment therefore connects combat choices with finding a way through the terrain.
