Tips/Tricks

Boss Order/Weaknesses

Every time you defeat an enemy Robot Master (boss), you will gain their weapon. Below is the recommended order to defeat them in order to have the best advantage.

  • 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*

Infinite Energy Capsules

If you need weapon energy or more health, and there’s a place on a given stage where there’s a capsule sitting to grab, you can make it reappear. Scroll off the screen and then backtrack to the previous location where the capsule was located.


Mega Man is a platformer game developed by Capcom and initially released in 1987 for the NES/Famicom.
