The fifth game of this series. This game introduces Megaman's pet bird, Beat.
To get Beat, you must collect all the letters that spell MEGAMANV located one
at a time in each different boss stage. If you are playing the Japanese version
of the game then you are collecting the letters that spell out ROCKMAN5 instead
since he is called Rockman in Japan.

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
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.
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.

Weakness: Star Crash
Get: Gravity Hold
Enemies: Suzy G, B Bitter, Graviton, Pukaperry, Power Massler, Iron Balln,

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.

Avoid Napalmman's missile fire and the bombs he tosses into the air. Crystal

the Metall K1000 and Bomb Throwers and drop down. 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.

enemies or kill them and take the Rush Jet over the spikes and on the platform.
Use a Super Arrow to attach to the wall and jump on it and over the wall and
continue on. 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

Protoman Stage 4
Boss: Darkman IV
Weakness: Star Crash
Beat
Enemies: None
This level is too easy. 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. He then tells you about Dr. Light and
that he is held hostage at his castle and dares you to come get him then laughs
and flees.

Wily Stage 3
Boss: Wily Press
Weakness: Star Crash
Get the E-Tank via Rush Coil and run right. Kill the New Candy Machine and enter
the Teleporter. Kill all bosses like before. Use Charge Kick on Waveman. Here is
how the bosses appear
Gravity Charge
Wave Gyro Napalm
Stone Star Crystal
After you have killed them all, enter the top center capsule to fight Dr. Wily.
Avoid the spikes in the middle and charge up your Mega Buster. When he shows his
face, be prepared to avoid being flattened as he comes down and makes the floor
rise too. After 10 Mega Buster Shots, you win for now. Dr. Wily is getting away.
Go get him, Megaman.
Kill the Dachon, drop and kill the Twin Cannon and drop, kill the Dachon and it
is time to face Wily again for the last time until Megaman 6. 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.
