They only appear in pairs near the end of the first Protoman level prior to fighting Darkman I. Apache Joe ------ They fly around in helicopters and shoot a fireball towards Megaman.

Pukaperry --------- It will fly a small distance, stop and show its eyes then try to fly in the current spot where Megaman is. Pukapucker ---------- It's like Crazy Razy for Megaman 1.

Renbakun -------- When Megaman runs under it, it will drop bombs on him. Rider Joe --------- Appears in the jetski area, it will shoot at Megaman or crash into his jetski.

Otherwise, they will turn the other way if the jump is not high enough. Yudon ----- Fires homing missiles at Megaman. Shoot its head to destroy it. o---------------------o BOSSES - MM5 o---------------------o Gravityman (033) ---------- Gravityman can be tricky. You two can never stay on the same level, whenever you are on the ceiling, he's on the floor and vise versa. He will jump around and shoot normal bullets. The best weapon to use is the Star Shield. Waveman (034) ------- This guy likes to use sneak attacks. He likes to hop at you and sometimes he'll throw a spear at you. But the sneak attack he uses is sticking his arm into the ground and making a geyser come up in a random spot. Use the Charge Kick to do away with him. Stoneman (035) -------- Try to hang in there as much as you can against Stoneman, he jumps around and turns into rubble a lot. He is invincible in rubble form. He will also use an attack called the Power Stone that rotates around the room and gradually spreads Napalm Bombs are your best weapons against him. Gyroman (036) ------- Man does this guy stay in the air a lot. When he's on the ground, he'll shoot normal bullets but on the ground or in the air, he will send a Gyro Blade at you. But what do we have here? Ah! The Gravity Hold! What does this thing do? OMFG! No matter where Gyroman is, he always gets hit by it and there is nothing he can do about. Starman (037) ------- Starman has a simple pattern: activate his Star Crash and hop around and shoot his shield at you. Starman thinks he is safe but Waveman says "no way" Not only does Water Waves damage Starman but they can cancel out his shield too. Chargeman (038) --------- CHIGGA-CHIGGA-CHIGGA-CHIGGA-CHOO-CHOO! This guy looks like a train engine with legs. That must explain why he makes the CHOO-CHOO sound when he send fireballs to rain down on you. His other attack is when tries to charge into you. Power Stones will put this "little engine that couldn't" out of his misery. Napalmman (039) --------- He fires three missiles in succession then throws a lot of napalms around that have an explosion of an inch radius. The Crystal Eye is a good choice to beat him with. Crystalman (040) ---------- He moves quickly. His Crystal Eye breaks when it hits the wall and then bounces around the surfaces for a little while. With Gyroman, take Crystalman and shine him on real nicely, avoid his Crystal Eye attacks and stick Gyro Attacks up his candy ass. Darkman I --------- He'll just move around trying to charge into you. He is just a waste of space. Use Water Waves on him. Darkman II ---------- Another Waste of space, he just walks around trying to touch you with his barriers. Crystal Eyes will be his downfall. Darkman III ----------- Now this guy is tough. I guarantee that you might not beat him the first time unless you're good enough. He'll leap in the air and rain bullets on you and he'll also freeze you and make you turn white. Gyro Attacks are you're best weapon Darkman IV ---------- This is the fake Protoman before the real one shows up and exposes him. This guy is similar to the Darkman II and III except he won't freeze you but shoot bullets while standing and he'll toss his barriers at you too. You're newest friend Beat will take him out. Big Pets -------- Shoot its segments to ride on them then hit it in the head with Crystal Eyes. Watch out for the raining enemies coming down. Circling Q9 ----------- It will fly back and forth in a shaky pattern. It will then swoop down-left, come back up, and swoop down right and return then repeat its pattern. Watch out for the meteors coming from above too. Gyro Attack will due it in. Dr. Wily Machine 5 Phase 1 and 2 -------------------------------- Phase 1: He'll move back and forth trying to get over you then comes down and brings the platform up too. Watch for the spikes in the middle and Mega Bust him when in range. Phase 2: He'll send a lot of missiles and balls at you. Just avoid them and Mega Bust his Mouth Dr. Wily Capsule ---------------- He'll appear in one spot and drop a ball that goes in two directions and then vanishes and sends a big circle of balls that disappear in the spot he was in. When he's low enough to hit, use the Mega Buster o---------------------o WEAPONS o---------------------o Gravity Hold ------------ Obtained from Gravityman. Most non bosses will be sent flying into outer space. Water Wave ---------- Obtained from Waveman. A wave of Geysers scales the floor but can only be used on the ground. Power Stone ----------- Obtained from Stoneman. Four stones circle the area and gradually expand. Gyro Attack ----------- Obtained from Gyroman. A blade spins forward and you can control whether it goes up or down. Star Crash ---------- Obtained from Starman. A shield of stars protects you from harm and you can shoot it at the enemies too. Charge Kick ----------- Obtained from Chargeman. You use this weapon by sliding into the enemy just like sliding under narrow passages. Napalm Bomb ----------- Obtained from Napalmman. Toss a bomb up into the air. It will roll around for a second and detonate with a one-inch radius. Crystal Eye ----------- Obtained from Crystalman. Shoot a big green Crystal and it will split in 3 if it hits the wall. Rush Coil --------- You start out with this. This allows you to reach higher places. Rush Jet -------- Obtained from Gyroman. You have no horizontal control of Rush in this game. It allows you to fly over large pits. Super Arrow ----------- Obtained from Starman. Launch a dart that you can use for a temporary platform. You can also ride on top of it to save you energy on the Rush Jet. =============================================================================== Waveman Weakness: Charge Kick Get: Water Wave Enemies: Octoper OA, Iron Balln, Cog, Rider Joe, V, Irukarn, Twin Cannon. Head right and watch out for the steam and the Iron Balln. You can jump through the chain part of the Iron Balln. When you see two tubes, jump into the top one to get the 1-up and drop to the left. Head right and watch out for the Cogs and steam. At the end, take the 4th set of bubbles. These are the big bubbles you can ride on. Ride up one screen and when you are high enough, quickly hop across two little bubbles to the other big bubble on the left. Ride up one screen and when a little bubble shows up, slide onto the bubble then jump to the platform and head right. You are now outside. Run right and you'll automatically jump onto a jet ski. Watch out for the Vs and Rider Joes. Be also aware of the Rider Joes coming from behind. There are some Irukarns to deal with as well. When the background goes dark, you face an Octoper OA. Aim your shots at the green spot on its forehead and watch out for its shots as well. When you beat it, head right and dodge more Irukarns n' Rider Joes coming from the rear. When you see 2 Irukarns following each other, get ready to get the E/O behind them. Make sure you don't get hit or you'll be too stunned to get it. At the end of the ride, you'll shoot one Twin Cannon dead with a Mega Buster Shot and face Waveman next. Charge up a shot before you face him. Let go when he fills his energy and the shot will already let loose and hit him. He'll do his Geyser attack, then shoot a spear and jump at you. Always stay close enough to avoid his jumps but far enough to avoid the spear. When he lands, jump or the geyser might get you. Just hang in there and victory is yours. If Waveman was not your first robot then Charge Kicks will work on him. ---- Starman Weakness: Water Wave Get: Star Crash Enemies: Dachon, Asteroid, Bounder, Space Metall, B Bitter, Jet Bomb, Tondeall, Mizzile, Toss Machine Seeing how we're in out of space, there is moon gravity in this stage. The height of your jumps depends on how long you hold the B button. Move right and watch out for the asteroids raining down, you will drop down to safety. Kill the Bounder and drop to the lower level and move right and kill the Bounder and B Bitters in the way. Watch out for the spikes above. Drop down and kill the Tondealls and drop down. Slide right and then jump up carefully to get the M and not touch the spikes. Take out the Space Metalls and jump carefully between the floor and ceiling spikes and kill another Space Metall and a B Bitter at the end. Climb the ladder, kill the B Bitters first with the Mega Buster and carefully jump across the platforms and when you get to the next screen. Shoot the Dachon in the eye to kill it and watch out for its lasers. Run right n' kill the Space Metalls and you'll come across a screen where the floor rises up and down. As you jump, watch out for the Mizziles that try to stunt your jump. There are also Toss Machines that launch bullets at you. At the end, kill the Dachon and enter the gate. Just stay on the ground when you fight Starman. He will jump around while he is shooting his shield at you. But with the Water Wave, he's dead. The Water Waves can go through his shield and hit him or destroy the shield itself if he was in the air. Poor Starman never had a chance. ---- Gravityman Weakness: Star Crash Get: Gravity Hold Enemies: Suzy G, B Bitter, Graviton, Pukaperry, Power Massler, Iron Balln, Nobeeta This stage changes gravity from time to time. One moment you are on the floor then you are on the ceiling. When you are on the ceiling, the controls stay the same except for the slide and Charge Kick for that matter. Hold Up and press A to slide. Move right and kill the Suzy Gs and the Graviton and drop down. Move left and change gravity and kill the Suzy G and the Nobeeta and keep moving to change gravity again. Move right and kill the Nobeeta and Suzy G and you're back on the ceiling. Jump to the ladder while upside down and climb to the 1-up and kill the Nobeeta if you need to. Drop up, avoid the Iron Balln and keep dropping up. Make it to the upper level and kill the enemies in the way and move right.

Jump n' fall and quickly change gravity to get the M/R and keep moving right. You'll change gravity and climb up a ladder, avoid the two Pukaperries and drop up and avoid the spikes. Drop to the floor and kill the B Bitter and enter the gate. On the way, you'll be back on the ceiling. Shoot the Star Crush at the beginning and Gravityman will end up hitting it on the way up. Stay as far away as you can and time your shots to hit him as he changes gravity. He will be down soon. ---- Gyroman Weakness: Gravity Hold Get: Gyro Attack Enemies: Cog, Cocco, Walking Egg, Kouker Q, Lyric, Power Massler, Pukaperry, Tondeall, Twin Cannon, Tatebakkan Move right and the floor will rise, keep moving right after the floor stops.

Use a slide to safely avoid the spikes and drop down. Kill the Bomb Throwers and watch out for the Mizziles as you make your way to the gate. Avoid Napalmman's missile fire and the bombs he tosses into the air. Crystal Eyes kills him faster than any other weapon.

Kill the Yudon and prepare for a tough fight with Chargeman. Chargeman will charge a lot and send fireballs into the air and rain them down. It's tough to hit Chargeman with Power Stones (though he is weak against them) but the best way to hit him is to stay close or fire when you jump over him when he is walking and not charging. 7 hits is all you need. Congratulations! Not only do you have all 8 weapons as well as the Super Arrow and Rush Jet but now you have Beat the bird fighting alongside you. He will attack every enemy in sight and he will be useful for the boss fights to come. ---- Protoman Stage 1 Boss: Darkman I Weakness: Water Wave Beat Enemies: Hirarian 427, Sumatoran, Tondeall, Cog, Rounder, Dachon, On the way to the ladder, you'll be shooting through Sumatorans and Tondeall.

Drop down two screens and kill all enemies in the way and head right and kill the Dachon and climb up the ladder. Now the reappearing and disappearing blocks make their long awaiting appearance. The first pit is easy. Hop across 3 blocks, wait then hop to the next block on the left and climb up the ladder. The next pit is even easier and yes we'll cheat here. Wait for the next close block that you can jump on to appear then jump right then jump left and all done in 3 blocks. Climb up and slide right and watch out for all the 'Rounders circling you. Kill one and they will leave you alone. The first boss awaits you. Use Water Waves on this guy. They not only cancel his bullets but damage him in the process too.

Keep moving through the Pukaperries and Sumatorans till you reach the gate. The second boss is vulnerable to Crystal Eyes. All he does is run at you and nothing more so he should be no problem if you remember to jump over him. ---- Protoman Stage 3 Boss: Darkman III Weakness: Gyro Attacker Beat Enemies: Suberu, Apache Joe, Hirarian 427, Turban, Tatebakkan, Lyrics, Daidain, Bombya, Metall Houdai, Bounder, Pukaperry, Power Massler, Kouker Q Shoot throw the Suberus and Apache Joes and climb up the ladder.

Just clear enough blocks without getting killed by the spikes as the level drops. At the end, just head through the gate to take on Protoman. Say it ain't so, Pro! Protoman will shoot you and a whistle will sound. Protoman and Megaman look back and forth as if confused. The real Protoman appears and Megaman is still looking between the two all confused. The bottom Protoman fires at the one on the top who fires back and reveals the evil Protoman to be a fake. Whew! Thank goodies for that, Protoman will destroy the platform he was on and leave you an L-Tank that refills all your energy. Now get ready to fight Darkman IV. This boss is similar to the 2nd Protoman boss. The only difference is that he tosses his barrier at you and retracts it. Now is the time to break out Beat. Good luck on this fight. All you got to do is avoid the bullets and the barrier and Beat will do all the work for you. When it is all over, our old enemy Dr. Wily shows up and reveals that his plan to frame Protoman for his crimes have failed when the real Protoman showed up.

Avoid his missiles and balls and rely on the good on Mega Buster for the job. After you beat that part, he will appear in a rocketship and reappear and disappear a lot. When he reappears in a random he will drop a ball that splits in two directions then when he disappears, he will send circling energy balls that gradually squeeze in and disappear then he repeats the pattern. Wait for him to reappear with range then blast him with the Mega Buster. When you win, Wily will run as you give chase. When Wily stops under Dr. Light's cage, he will feign surrender and Megaman grabs Dr. Light. The base will begin to crumble and Wily begins to panic. The ceiling falls but Megaman catches it and Dr. Wily gets away. Just then Protoman destroys the section of the wall needed for Megaman and Dr. Light to get away and now just enjoy the ending. o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o GameFAQs and others for hosting You for reading Capcom for making the game. o---------------------o CONTACT ME o---------------------o azulfria[at]hotmail[dot]com [at] = @ and [dot] = .
