Weapons

Top Help
All of the weapons in this game have unusually high energy requirements; this is to make the Power Generator worthwhile (which is kind of funny that they remove a feature then require you to get an item to get it back...).

Uses: 6 units
Obtained From: Saturn
Appears In: MMV
Black Hole
Creates a black hole which explodes into an expanding spiral. Affects only certain enemies.
Uses: 4 units
Obtained From: Pluto
Characteristics: Non-Firing
Appears In: MMV
Break Dash
As its name suggests, Mega Man charges forward with a burst of energy. This is capable of knocking out doors and walls. Use by charging up for a very brief time; releasing the button will release the dash.
Uses: 8 units
Obtained From: Venus
Appears In: MMV
Bubble Bomb
A bubble floats upward in a zigzag pattern until it reaches the ceiling, then travels along it in the direction you are facing. When the bubble strikes something (including a corner where the wall meets the ceiling), it explodes.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Uranus
Characteristics: Non-Firing
Similar To: Super Arm
Appears In: MMV
Deep Digger
This lifts stones from beneath the user’s feet and allows him to hurl them at foes. You can learn to recognize blocks that can be thrown with this because they all look alike. They’re small squares about half Mega Man’s size.
Uses: 4 units
Obtained From: Jupiter
Similar To: Fire Wave
Appears In: MMV
Electric Shock
A stream of electricity sparks from Mega Man’s hand. This has extremely short range, and you cannot run while it is active, although jumping is still possible.
Uses: 4 units
Also Known As: Snatch Buster
Obtained From: Mercury
Appears In: MMV
Grab Buster
This fires a small sphere of energy forward. When it lands a successful blow against a robot, an energy pellet is ejected from the target and soars back toward the user. Stand still and the energy should hit you on the first pass, replenishing your health meter by two units. If the pellet misses, it will usually boomerang back a couple more times before disappearing.
Uses: 4 units
Obtained From: Mars
Appears In: MMV
Photon Missile
Launches missiles which fly horizontally. There is a significant delay between when you place the missile and when it starts moving. You can fire several missiles at a time; jump before firing to place them at different heights.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Neptune
Appears In: MMV
Salt Water
Tosses globs of liquid. When the drop strikes something, it splashes into several smaller droplets that can inflict additional damage on objects.
Uses: 2 units
Obtained From: Terra
Characteristics: Homing
Appears In: MMV
Spark Chaser
This fires a beam which will home in on a target in short bursts. Between each burst it will gather itself into a small sphere, then shoot forth again. With each burst, the Chaser alters its angle of attack as necessary so that it is always heading toward an enemy. The weapon lasts for several bursts and does not go away even if it strikes something. Thus it can land multiple hits on a single target.

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, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPU, MMGG, R&FWS
Energy Capsule
These globes are the same as energy pellets except that more energy is refilled.

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, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPU, MMGG, R&FWS
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, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, M&B, MMWW, MMPU, MMGG, R&FWS
1-Up
Extra lives. If you have one of these when you bite the dust, you’ll be given another chance at the stage, restarting at the furthest continue point that you’d reached.
Also Known As: E-Tank; Energy Can
Appears In: MM2, MM3, MM4, MM5, MM6, MM7, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMI, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, MMWW, MMGG
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: MM7, MM10, MM11, MMIV, MMV
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: MM7, MMIV, MMV
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, MM8, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMIV, MMV, M&B
Energy Balancer
This allows you to pick up weapon energy and refill weapons even if you aren’t equipped with them. The EB machine will fill the weapon which needs the energy most first, but you can override its choices by equipping the weapon desired. In this game, if your current weapon is full on energy, the weapon energy will go to another weapon instead.
Also Known As: PG
Appears In: MMV, R&FWS
Power Generator
Reduces the energy required to fire weapons. Like the Energy Balancer, this goes into effect as soon as you obtain it.
Also Known As: Magnet Hand
Appears In: MMV
MH
This upgrade allows the Mega Arm to grab power-ups much like the Boomerang Cutter or the Magic Card. Sometimes the Arm will even grab items from foes it defeats. The Arm is capable of retrieving items straight through walls. It can grab literally anything that you can pick up by walking over, including Energy Tanks and the four crystals in the later four stages.
Also Known As: Clobber Hand
Appears In: MMV
CL
This enhancement allows the Arm to latch onto enemies and hit them over and over. To use it, either hold B after firing, or rapidly tap it. The Arm won’t always grab, and there are a few enemies it cannot latch onto at all.
Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MM9, MM10, MM11, MMII, MMIII, MMIV, MMV, MMWW, MMGG, R&FWS
Rush Coil
This is a springboard which enables Mega Man to leap greater distances. Just call Rush and then jump onto him. You’ll rebound off and soar almost to the top of the screen.
Appears In: MM3, MM4, MM5, MM7, MM8, MM9, MM10, MM11, 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).
Appears In: MMV
Rush Jet (Space)
During the game Dr. Light modifies Rush for space travel. The dog gains a glass cockpit similar to his Marine form, and flies Mega Man into outer space. While in this mode, you can freely fly around using the control pad, and shoot with the fire button. You can even charge up and fire super-shots. You never get this as an item on your subscreen; Mega Man uses it automatically when it is needed.
Appears In: MMV, R&FWS
Tango
This spiny furball attacks by rolling himself into a ball and bouncing around the room. It would actually be effective if he didn’t use up all his energy by just bouncing around. To use, hold down the fire button until Mega Man flashes (it only takes a second or two), then release it. Mega Man can still fire his arm cannons while Tango is equipped.

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.

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.

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.
Appears In: MM10, MMV
Tango
A green robot cat built by Dr. Light to aid Mega Man. Unlike Rush, who is primarily a utilitarian tool, Tango is a pure attacker.

This leader of the StarDroids has reason to be overconfident—since he was impervious to all known weaponry, at first Mega Man couldn’t even make a dent in him!

Enker
Enker is one of the more reoccurring of the Game Boy robots, which lends proof that the Game Boy games actually occurred in the regular series’s timeline (something which is under debate). He has the most unusual of attack styles: he absorbs Mega Man’s own shots into his lance, then fires that energy back at Mega Man. In doing so, however, he sustains damage to himself, so fire away.

Armed with quite a few diverse attacks, Sunstar can keep even the best dodger busy. From firing huge lasers to spin-dashing back and forth across the screen...this guy will keep you on your toes—or rather, off them, when he destroys the floor right out from underneath you. With all this action, don’t take the time to bother to aim. Just unleash Spark Chasers at him, and let them do the hard work for you.
