About this game
Mega Man battles six robot opponents and their leader, Dr. Wily. Each stage’s boss brings a special weapon, and defeating it gives Mega Man that weapon for his own use. A boss victory therefore changes more than which opponent remains. New weapons can be brought into other stages and used against other bosses. Progress ties action to a growing collection of tools: consider the situation in front of you, then decide whether a weapon earned earlier offers a useful response.
