Notes:

  • A star (*) indicates the weapon knocks the character down as well as doing damage.
  • MB = Mega Buster. First value is when fired normally; second value is charged.
  • For the Oil Slider, first value is hitting with the blob; second value is hitting while sliding on the oil sled.
  • MK = Mega Kick. RS = Roll Swing. PS = Proto Strike.
  • The Copy Robot stats assume you are playing as Mega Man. (His stats are the same as when Robot Masters fight the “Mega Man?” boss.) When the Copy Robot is using a Master Weapon, his damage data matches that of the Robot Master whose weapon he is using.
  • For Wily 1 and Wily 2, using the weapon he is currently weak against does 4 damage and knocks him back.
  • Data compiled by NES Boy.

Weapons

Top Help
Uses: 3 units
Obtained From: Fire Man
Color Scheme: Orange and yellow
Appears In: MM1, MMI, MMWW, MMPU
Fire Storm
Shoots fireballs. As a side effect, this weapon also gives a brief shield of fireballs which orbit the user for a split second upon firing.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Bomb Man
Color Scheme: Green and white
Appears In: MM1, MMWW, MMPU
Hyper Bomb
Tosses traditional black bombs that explode after a few seconds or upon hitting something. The bombs move in an arc and bounce along the walls and floor, which makes aiming them more than tricky.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Ice Man
Characteristics: Freezes
Color Scheme: Blue and white
Appears In: MM1, MMI, MMWW, MMPU, MMPB
Ice Slasher
A large arrowhead-shaped chunk of ice flies across the screen horizontally. It will stop in their tracks whatever it strikes, halting them for a few seconds. It can even suspend things in midair if you time it right. Useful for getting past tough spots.
Uses: 1 unit
Obtained From: Oil Man
Color Scheme: Cyan and black
Appears In: MMPU
Oil Slider
Like the Super Arm and the Time Slow, this is more of a gimmick weapon that you won’t get a whole lot of damage out of, but it can be useful in the right situations. Press the fire button to toss a glob on the ground. (You can only have one blob of oil on the screen at once.) It will land and sit there for a few seconds before disappearing. Touch it and Mega Man will jump on, sliding forward in the direction he’s facing like a jet sled. You can use this to damage things by sliding into them, although usually you’ll also damage Mega Man in the process. The main benefit of the slider is that it can jump farther than Mega Man’s normal jump, so you can use this in creative ways to get to areas you can’t normally reach.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Cut Man
Characteristics: Boomerangs
Color Scheme: Gray and white
Appears In: MM1, MMI, MMWW, MMPU, MMPB, MMPF
Rolling Cutter
A scissor-like cutter that flies in a circular arc pattern. Can destroy some things which Mega Man’s arm cannons cannot touch.
Uses: 4 units
Obtained From: Guts Man
Characteristics: Non-Firing
Color Scheme: Tan and white
Appears In: MM1, MMWW, MMPU
Super Arm
This loosens rocks and allows the user to lift them. Candidate boulders are indicated by the weapon when the user touches them. Once lifted, the rocks can be thrown; most shatter in midair causing them to strike in many directions at once.
Uses: 3 units
Obtained From: Elec Man
Characteristics: Multidirectional
Color Scheme: Olive and yellow
Appears In: MM1, MMI, MMWW, MMPU, MMPF
Thunder Beam
Very similar to its original form in that it fires horizontal, up, and down simultaneously; however, the graphic for the electricity is nowhere near as cool here.
Uses: 14 units
Obtained From: Time Man
Similar To: Time Stopper
Appears In: MMPU
Time Slow
Sort of like a mix between the Time Stopper and the Flash Stopper, except this one slows down time instead of halting it completely. (Yes, Bright Man has the Flash Stopper, and Flash Man has the Time Stopper. It makes lots of sense.) As with the Time Stopper, some enemies are damaged when you use this, but most things aren’t. However, unlike the Time Stopper, you can use other weapons while the effects of this one are active.
Thanks to Gamble Man for some of this data.

Weapon Energy Pellet
The colored pellets are weapon energy. They refill your current weapon or adapter rather than your life energy. Pick one up when you don’t have a weapon equipped, and it’ll go to the weapon that needs it most. Note that Robot Masters and other characters besides Mega Man do not use weapon energy.

Stock Heart
1-Ups. These things look like large hearts now. If you have one of these when you bite the dust, you’ll be given another chance at the stage.
Also Known As: Bonus Ball
Appears In: MM1, MMPU
Score Ball
These are little pellets that add extra points to your score when you clear a stage. Until you complete the stage, they are not worth anything.
Appears In: MMPU
Retry Flag
These are your continue points in new style mode. Continue points have always existed, but they were always invisible in previous games. If you die after tagging one of these flags, you will restart at the last flag you tripped (assuming you have any lives left). Note that unlike the classic games (and old style mode), if you jump the flag or otherwise avoid touching it, you won’t activate the continue point either, which means if you die, you’ll end up being transported a lot farther back in the stage.
Appears In: MM1, MM10, MMPU
Yashichi
This refills all of your weapons and health and also gives you a bonus 100,000 points.
Appears In: MMPU
Party Ball
Shoot and destroy these, and they will open up, dropping a random item.
Appears In: MM1, MMWW, MMPU
Magnet Beam
This is an item you pick up, though you use it like a weapon. Utilize this to create horizontal blue ledges on which you can walk. Equip it and hold down the fire button until the ledge is the size that you desire. When you release the button, it is planted into place (until then, you can walk around and even jump, and the ledge moves with you). The ledges disappear after a preset period of time.

Mega Man
Mega Man was once a household robot named Rock (“Mega”), 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.

Bomb Man
The demolition expert who naturally loves bombs, and loves to toss them all over, blowing up anything in sight. He tends to jump when he throws bombs; keep moving and they’ll usually miss you. Sometimes he’ll pull out a giant bomb and hurl it at you. Try to stay close to him when he does this, then run away as he chucks the bomb.

Cut Man
This poor little guy thinks that all of his “brothers” have gone bad, not him. He jumps a lot and tosses his Rolling Cutter in a lazy boomerang arc. He can also charge up to chuck a huge cutter which will circle the room and return to him, destroying the Super Arm blocks in the process if you haven’t thrown them already.

Elec Man
A somewhat sadistic robot who sounds like a vampire, has an ego the size of Montana, and gets a charge out of everything. He mainly walks back and forth and shoots Thunder Beams at you. Sometimes he jumps and fires one in the air just to throw you off. And if he charges up, he is about to send a large thunderbolt down from above to land right on your head—so move.

Fire Man
Fire Man is basically a Texan cowboy pyromaniac with a few screws loose. He can chuck his fire bolts slow or fast depending on the difficulty mode. Sometimes they leave little flames behind underneath them, just to trip you up when you try to jump them. Finally, he can also send flames crawling along the floor similar to a slow Ice Wave, only fire instead of ice.

Guts Man
This guy is so serious about his job that he won’t quit his work even after Dr. Wily reprograms him. He grabs big blocks and hurls them at you. Jump backward a bit to dodge them. On certain difficulty modes, Guts Man can cause you to lose your footing by landing and shaking the ground, so try to be in the air when he touches down.

Ice Man
A military nut with a split personality. He orders himself around. “Intruders detected, sir! Well, freeze them where they stand! Yes, sir!” It made sense for Search Man, who has two heads, but with Ice Man, it’s just bizarre. At any rate, he shoots Ice Slashers at various heights, and sometimes likes to cross the room, although you can often knock him backward and force him to stay in the corner. Occasionally Ice Man will drop a large ice spike down into the room. You can actually stand on this if you want.

Oil Man
The manager of a petroleum field who hates fire. Oil Man likes to have fun by tossing oil everywhere and sliding around on it like a surfboard. The globs of oil he throws will damage you while they are in the air; once they hit the ground, you can touch them without harm, but your character will slip on the oil if he’s not immune to it. You can burn the oil—and Oil Man, for that matter—with the Fire Storm.

Time Man
This punctual robot is always keeping track of time (I guess that’s what you get when you’re three-parts clock). Time Man shoots purple arrow-shaped hands from a clock. His low ones are long and fast; his high ones are short and slow. His special attack slows down time slightly, which actually helps you in a way because it makes it easier to dodge things. If he rings again, time returns to normal.

Blader
Little skull-like things with rotors, these make swooping attacks when they get close. They can move at a fairly decent clip and will dog you until they are destroyed (or you leave the screen) so it’s best to eliminate them at a distance, before they have a chance to close in on you.

Flying Shell

These appear from the right-hand side of the screen at specific areas. If you stand still in a place where Killer Bullets appear they will come constantly, at a steady interval.

Met
The trademark of the Mega Man series, these are yellow hard hats with green crosses. They usually lie in wait with their hats down, covering their eyes and feet. Their helmets are impervious to most known weaponry, so one must wait until they pop up to fire. When Mets are firing is also when they can be damaged. Mets usually fire a three-way spread shot.

Octopus Battery
Large eyes with suction cups that stick to walls. Their only way of dealing damage is through direct contact, and they have little in the way of an attack. Octopus Batteries slide from side to side or up and down in a preset pattern, going back and forth and pausing for a short time at each wall. Because of their slow speed and predictable patterns, dodging Batteries is rather simple. With the normal arm cannon they do take a number of hits to defeat however.

Very similar to a Joe, this robot even has a shield which protects him when he’s not throwing pickaxes. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily), he is throwing most of the time, so the shield generally is not a problem. The pickaxes fly in an arc so if you keep moving you can avoid being struck by them.

The fabled Sniper Joes are the first incarnation of what would later become a whole family of Joes, each similar in appearance and attack style and almost always possessing the trademark visor. Sniper Joes defend themselves with their shields and, while standing, are only vulnerable from the front while they are firing. If you want to take one on head-to-head, wait until it fires, then jump its shots while hitting it with your own. Sniper Joes can also be damaged while they are jumping.

Watcher
These robots pop out their eyes when they sense enemies nearby. They seem capable of moving only up and down. When they come level with a foe, their two eyes let loose streams of electricity at their target. Watchers will usually ambush you while you are climbing ladders. You can avoid damage by positioning yourself between the two sparks of electricity—the shots will pass harmlessly above and below you, with just enough of a gap for you to fit.
