Mega Man

Hint: Boss Order/Weaknesses

The first Mega Man game is like the rest of the classic series, in that when an enemy Robot Master (boss) is defeated, you gain their weapon. Therefore, going through the six Robot Masters in Mega Man in a certain order will work to your advantage. Here is the order we recommend:

Bomb Man - Use Mega Buster (also weak to Fire Storm)

Guts Man - Use Hyper Bombs

Cut Man - Use Super Arm and Mega Buster

Elec Man - Use Rolling Cutters


Ice Man - Use Thunder Beam*

Fire Man - Use Ice Slasher After defeating the original six Robot Masters, you’ll gain access to
Dr. Wily’s fortress. Here, you will run into more bosses, and knowing their weaknesses will also help you out.

Rock Monster - Use Thunder Beam*

Mega Man Clone - Use Thunder Beam*

Bubble Machine - Use Mega Buster and Super Arm

Dr. Wily (1) - Use Fire Storm

Dr. Wily (2) - Use Thunder Beam*

Hint: Thunder Beam Trick

There’s an interesting glitch in the game when using Elec Man’s weapon, the Thunder Beam. If you shoot it and then press Select (to pause the game), you’ll allow the beam to strike an enemy more than once. Press Select constantly as a beam is shot, and a lone Thunder Beam can theoretically kill any enemy with a simple strike (such as Ice Man, the Rock Monster, or Mega Man’s clone). Give it a try. It’s cheap, but extremely effective.
