Notes: MB = Mega Buster For MB and PH (Pharaoh Shot): first digit is weapon fired normally; second digit is weapon fully charged * The Flash Stopper (BR) freezes Pharaoh Man; thus more damage can be inflicted on him more easily than on other robots. Data compiled by Pixelboy.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Ballade Characteristics: Multidirectional Appears In: MMIV  BALLADE CRACKER Shoots bombs that explode on contact; can be fired in any of seven directions. These can be used to remove obstacles or to hit things that cannot be reached with the Mega Buster.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Charge Man Characteristics: Non-Firing Appears In: MM5, MMIV  CHARGE KICK Creates a burst of energy around Mega Man’s feet when he slides, which subsequently damages whatever it strikes. This is activated automatically whenever you slide while it is equipped. Use it to plow through certain walls.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Crystal Man Appears In: MM5, MMIV  CRYSTAL EYE Shoots a single, smooth sphere. If the sphere hits something solid it will shatter into several smaller spheres which ricochet around the room. Because of this, it is possible to take multiple hits on an enemy with just one shot. Try firing over a Robot Master’s head so that the Eye bounces off the wall behind him.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Bright Man Similar To: Time Stopper Appears In: MM4, MMIV  FLASH STOPPER Ironically, Bright Man has the Flash Stopper, not Flash Man. Go figure. Anyway, the Flash Stopper works in bursts; it consumes a chunk of energy to temporarily freeze enemies in place. After a few seconds, the effect wears off. There is no constant drain on the weapon, and as a bonus, the user is able to fire arm cannons while his foes are frozen.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Napalm Man Appears In: MM5, MMIV, MMPB, MMPF  NAPALM BOMB Napalm Bombs bounce along the ground, exploding when they strike something or after a preset period of time if nothing is encountered before then.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Pharaoh Man Characteristics: Aimable, Chargable Appears In: MM4, MMIV  PHARAOH SHOT Spheres which can be fired straight or diagonally. If you charge up, you form a large sphere over Mega Man’s head; you can then fire off this sphere at something, or merely walk around and hit things with it. If you choose to do the latter, try this: don’t release the button when you use up the sphere, but instead open the subscreen and close it while still holding down the fire button. When you return to the game, you’ll charge up another sphere without using any weapon energy.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Stone Man Characteristics: Multidirectional Appears In: MM5, MMIV  POWER STONE Several large chunks of rock spiral outward from the user. This can hit things high in the air where Mega Man’s normal cannons cannot reach, but it can also be somewhat difficult to aim.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Toad Man Characteristics: Full-screen Appears In: MM4, MMIV  RAIN FLUSH This creates a capsule which jets high into the air before bursting into a brief but damaging downpour of ionized rain. The user of this weapon is shielded from its effects, but anyone else caught vulnerable in the deluge is sure to be damaged. This weapon is obviously useful for its ability to hit anywhere on the screen without aiming, but keep in mind there is a delay between the time that you fire and when the rain shower occurs.

Uses: ? Obtained From: Ring Man Characteristics: Boomerangs Appears In: MM4, MMIV  RING BOOMERANG Shoots large rings horizontally. The Rings fly out for a bit then snap back at a very rapid pace. They are very fast, but have poor range.

Also Known As: Life Energy Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW  ENERGY PELLET Energy pellets refill your life meter. The small ones refill 2 units—not a lot, but it can really add up.

Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW  ENERGY CAPSULE These globes are the same as energy pellets except that more energy is refilled.

Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW  WEAPON ENERGY PELLET The colored pellets are weapon energy. They refill your current weapon or adapter rather than your life energy. Weapon energy changes color according to which weapon you are currently equipped with. Before picking up a pellet be sure to equip a weapon that needs the energy.

Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW  WEAPON ENERGY CAPSULE These are the same as weapon energy pellets except that more energy is refilled.

Appears In: MMIV, MMV  SUPER CAPSULE This is identical to the Super Tank except that it is a capsule, which means Mega Man cannot carry it around. He uses it when and where he picks it up. These can only be obtained from Proto Man. (I’d like to know where he gets his supply!)

Also Known As: P-Chip Appears In: MMIV, MMV  POWER CHIP These are components that Dr. Light can use to create items for Mega Man using the Item Replicator. P-Chips are acquired from minor enemies as they perish, and are found in stages. They come in two varieties: small ones are worth 2, and large are worth 8.

Also Known As: Spare Body Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW  1-UP Extra lives. If you have one of these when you bite the dust, you’ll be given another chance at the stage.

Also Known As: E-Tank; Energy Can Appears In: MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, MMWW  ENERGY TANK This is an entire stock of energy that Mega Man can carry around until needed. You use these off the subscreen (select the “EN” option). When used, Mega Man’s energy meter will be refilled completely. Mega Man can carry up to four of these at a time.

Also Known As: W-Tank Appears In: MMIV, MMV, MM7  WEAPON TANK These are tanks which carry a stock of weapon energy. You can totally refill one of your weapons with this.

Also Known As: S-Tank Appears In: MMIV, MMV, MM7  SUPER TANK This completely refills all of Mega Man’s weapons and energy. Mega Man can only carry one at a time.

Appears In: MMIV, MMV  MINI ENERGY TANK Gather four of these to make one Energy Tank. You cannot use Mini Energy Tanks even to restore only part of your heath. They are only useful if you get four of them.

Also Known As: EB Appears In: MM6, MM7, MMV, MMIV, M&B  ENERGY BALANCER Normally, any weapon energy you pick up goes only to your active weapon. If you’re not equipped with a weapon, the energy is wasted. This item changes that. If you have an Energy Balancer, it will apply that weapon energy toward whatever weapon needs it the most. Note that you can override this selection by equipping the weapon you wish to refill before picking up energy.

Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, MMWW  RUSH COIL This is a springboard which enables Mega Man to leap greater distances. Just call Rush and then jump onto him. You’ll soar almost to the top of the screen.

Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MM7, MM8, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, MMWW  RUSH JET Mega Man can hop onto Rush and ride him, much like a skyboard. This is perhaps the most popular of the Rush modes (the Mega Shows use it extensively).

HP: 19 AT: 1-3 Also Known As: Rockman; Rock Number: DRN001 Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPB, MMPF  MEGA MAN Mega Man was once a household robot named Rock, but when Dr. Wily turned evil, Rock was converted by his creator Dr. Light into the fighting robot known as Mega Man. This small blue robot is equipped with twin arm cannons and the Weapon Copy system which lets him take weapons from defeated foes.

Also Known As: Dr.Right; Dr.Wright Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPB, MMPF  DR. THOMAS XAVIER LIGHT This is the scientist that started it all, for he was the one who first created revolutionary human-like robots. He was responsible for creating Mega Man and Roll, and he worked with Dr. Wily for a time.

Also Known As: Dr.Wiley; Dr.Waily Appears In: MM1, MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPB, MMPF  DR. ALBERT W. WILY Dr. Wily was once Dr. Light’s partner, but then he turned against his former colleague and tried to take over the world. Even after being defeated repeatedly by Mega Man, he has yet to give up.

Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPF  RUSH Mega Man’s canine companion, this is a robot dog built by Dr. Light to aid in Mega Man’s travels. Rush is always ready to respond to Mega Man’s call; when Mega Man needs use of a Rush form, his dog teleports in, does his thing, and leaves. Any weapon energy you pick up while you have a Rush form equipped (even if Rush isn’t on the screen at the time) goes to that Rush form.

Also Known As: Blues; Break Man Number: DRN000 Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM8, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPB, MMPF  PROTO MAN This mysterious robot was constructed by Dr. Light before Mega Man was even built. He likes to be on his own, doing things his way. He often pops in during the games, usually with his characteristic whistle, to give his brother Mega Man items or advice, or to just plain pull him out of a jam.

HP: ? AT: ? Number: RKN004 Weapon: Ballade Cracker Appears In: MMIV, MMV  BALLADE Ballade has two forms, although his attack style doesn’t change much between them. He is usually in motion, weaving around his room and tossing his Ballade Cracker bombs left and right. You will need some good manouvering to take on this guy.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN025 Weapon: Flash Stopper Weakness: Rain Flush Appears In: MM4, MMIV  BRIGHT MAN Like Flash Man, Bright Man is equipped with plasma arm cannons to take advantage of his frozen enemy. His arm cannons aren’t the thing to fear, however; he does much more deadly damage if he manages to leap on you. A thorough dousing of Rain Flush capsules will make short work of Bright Man.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN038 Weapon: Charge Kick Weakness: Power Stone Appears In: MM5, MMIV  CHARGE MAN This Robot Master looks like a locomotive, and is difficult though not impossible to clear with Mega Man’s jumps. Charge Man can rain down flaming rocks after first tooting them into the air. But most of the time he simply charges back and forth, bowling you over if he makes contact. Jump him only if he’s headed your way, and use the Power Stone.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN040 Weapon: Crystal Eye Weakness: Charge Kick Appears In: MM5, MMIV  CRYSTAL MAN Crystal Man usually fires his Crystal Eye already broken into four separate orbs. He also has a plasma arm cannon to supplement his attack. Dodging the multiple orbs can be tricky but it is possible.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN039 Weapon: Napalm Bomb Weakness: Crystal Eye Appears In: MM5, MMIV, MMPB, MMPF  NAPALM MAN This guy’s Napalm Bombs bounce along the ground for a bit before exploding. Napalm Man has a Bomb shooter built into each arm, and thus can send out two Bombs simultaneously. Nail him with the Crystal Eye if you want an easier time. You can either try to hit him directly for more direct damage, or fire over his head and let the Crystal Eye split into three to hit him several times.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN026 Weapon: Pharaoh Shot Weakness: Flash Stopper Appears In: MM4, MMIV, MMPF  PHARAOH MAN Another of the Robot Masters to beware; this guy is almost as quick as Shadow Man. He makes good use of the Pharaoh Shot, alternating from firing rapid shots to charging up. He dashes around his room at a rapid pace; however, the Flash Stopper will stop him in his tracks. As an added bonus, Mega Man can also shoot his arm cannons while using the Flash Stopper, so fire away!

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN028 Weapon: Ring Boomerang Weakness: Pharaoh Shot Appears In: MM4, MMIV  RING MAN Ring Man’s greatest advantage is in the way he paces his lair, tossing Ring Boomerangs at you. But it is also his greatest weakness, for if you get the pattern down right, you can dodge him perfectly. The key is timing your leaps. First jump his first Ring Boomerang, then jump him. Hit him with Pharaoh Shots to make the battle go faster.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN035 Weapon: Power Stone Weakness: Napalm Bomb Appears In: MM5, MMIV, MMPF  STONE MAN This giant hulk of a robot is built to look as though he’s constructed completely from bricks. His weapon is the Power Stone which sends out several rocks in a spiraling formation. Stone Man will also leap high into the air and attempt to land on his enemy. He will appear to crumble into a pile of bricks when he hits the ground, only to quickly get back to his feet. Napalm Bombs work well on Stone Man though they are frustrating to use as he is invulnerable most of the time. Sometimes it is better to simply plaster him with rapid-fire plasma shots.

HP: 19 AT: ? Number: DWN029 Weapon: Rain Flush Weakness: Ring Boomerang Appears In: MM4, MMIV  TOAD MAN Like any frog (and most of the Robot Masters!), Toad Man is a great jumper. He can easily leap to the height of several meters. When he calls down the Rain Flush you are guaranteed to take damage. Keep firing to prevent him from using the Rain Flush.
