Mega Man 2

A run-and-gun platformer about Mega Man taking weapons from eight robot masters.

Capcom · 3–5 hrs

Difficulty

The Robot Master loop that every sequel copies: pick an order, steal a weapon, spend it on the next weakness. Item-1, Item-2, and Item-3 are as important as the buster — they are how you stand where the stage never wanted you.

Tips

Start here
Metal, Air, Crash, Flash
A clean first loop: Metal Man (quick kills, Metal Blade farms energy), Air Man, Crash Man, Flash Man. Wood, Quick, Bubble, Heat after. Crash Bombs open Wily walls the buster cannot.
Advanced
Item-2 is a floor
The deployable platform from Heat Man's stage is how you skip Air Man's tornado and stand still for Wily bosses. Don't dump Metal Blade on fodder — it is the all-purpose ammo.
