*******************************************************************************

NOTE: Although the date says "January 14, 2002", on May 20, 2002, I updated
each of my Mega Man boss FAQs, posting that they are now "Final" versions, in
addition to the "Only" version I denoted them to be earlier. This is to stop
any e-mails I'm getting with "add this strat, d00d11!!!!" You, as readers, are
more than welcome to read this, e-mail me with comments, suggestions, and/or
criticism, but please, no e-mail regarding your strategies being better than
mine, or how I should put your strategy in my FAQ in place of yours. Trust me,
there's a 99.99% chance I'm better than you at Mega Man anyway, so not to sound
rude, but don't waste my time. If you have your own strategy, that's excellent;
to each his own. Keep it to yourself though, because not only will I not post
your strategy, but I won't respond to your e-mail, or even acknowledge that I
recieved it, if you send me an e-mail like that.

So to re-itterate, the FAQ was submitted on January 14, 2002, and hence, the
date wasn't changed to reflect that on this version, since nothing but this
"note" was added into this FAQ. Thanks for reading.

END NOTE!

This FAQ, and all 11 other of my FAQ/Walkthroughs, are now dedicated to the
over 6,000 innocent people killed in the World Trade Center and Pentagon
terrorist attacks in New York City, New York, and Washington, D.C., on
September 11, 2001. To all of the innocent working people, and FDNY Firemen, as
well as other emergency workers, you will always be remembered. We won't stop
until we bring these criminals to justice, your deaths were NOT IN VAIN! God
Bless America, death to all terrorists of all races everywhere.

Welcome, readers, friends, et cetera, to my Boss FAQ for the classic NES game,
Mega Man, on the NES Nintendo Entertainment System.

I don't have much to say here except that this FAQ is meant to be used in
direct conjunction with my FAQ/Walkthrough, already on GameFAQs, which can be
found at the following URL:

        http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/mega_man_c.txt

Of course, you don't HAVE to use it in conjunction. The primary point of this
FAQ on the bosses in the game, in fact, is to simplify the information out of
my more intricate FAQ/Walkthrough for the game, so if you don't need step-by-
step instructions on beating the game as a whole, but only on the primary
problems people encounter in the game - the bosses - then this FAQ is for you.
There ARE pretty good instructions in my FAQ/Walkthrough for this game as far
as all of the boss battles are concerned, but again, this is for
simplification, so I hope it helps you out. Enjoy!

This section is to assist you on your battles with the Robot Masters in the
game. Included are descriptions of each Robot Master, as well as their battle
tactics, their weapon information, et cetera - everything you need to know
about to defeat them! I hope it helps!

[in order which you should beat them, for ease]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOMB MAN
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Hyper Bomb
Primary Weakness: Fire Storm
Other Weaknesses: Mega Buster (is what you SHOULD use on him), Rolling Cutters,
Elec Beam
Description: Bomb Man, the Mr. T look-alike of the Mega Man Universe, is a
yellow, black, and red robot, with a big red mohawk on his head. He has no arm
cannons, instead, he pulls out his weapon, the Hyper Bomb, seemingly out of
midair, and throws them at his target. These black bombs fly high and can do
some serious damage upon detonation.

To Defeat Bomb Man...

Bomb Man is fast moving, and semi-aggressive. However, he's completely beatable
with the simple arm cannon, which is why I suggest not only in this guide, but
in my walkthrough for the game as well, that you defeat him first. It makes the
most sense. He has a distinct battle pattern (not to say it's set, it's not),
that is easily read. He jumps REALLY high, stops jumping, and keeps his foe at
bay by chucking Hyper Bomb after Hyper Bomb. These Bombs have a small blast
radius, which you certainly have to worry about much more than getting hit by
the bomb itself. Bomb Man will try to corner you with the technique of his bomb
throwing, which is to get you to jump backwards until you can't anymore, in an
attempt to avoid his bombs and the ensuing explosions upon their impact with
the ground or wall. Just keep firing on Bomb Man when he jumps around. When he
stops to toss a bomb or two, keep blasting at him, but try to run towards him
when he throws his bombs, so that he can't corner you. If you get real close to
him, he'll flee to another area of the room. That's when you know your tactics
are effective. He'll fall quickly to the power of the arm cannon. Of course, if
you have it and you aren't going in the order I suggest, Fire Man's Fire Storm
is the weapon he's weakest to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUTS MAN
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Super Arm
Primary Weakness: Hyper Bomb
Other Weaknesses: Fire Storm
Description: Guts Man, probably the Robot Master spokesperson for the Mega Man
series (c'mon, everyone knows who he is in the videogame world!), is one of the
biggest Robot Masters ever. Towering greatly over Mega Man, it seems as if he'd
have the advantage, but that's not necessarily true. Guts Man's weapon isn't a
conventional one - he uses his brut strenght to lift boulders and other items
and throws them at his foe. This is the weapon you assimilate if you can defeat
him...

To Defeat Guts Man...

Guts Man is surprisingly easy, gathering that his size is many times that of
Mega Man (but not quite as drastic as say, Frost Man, from Mega Man 8). Not
having a conventional weapon to call his own, Guts Man uses his size and
strength to hurt his enemy, and that's exactly what he does in the battle at
hand. Guts Man slowly jumps around the room (NEVER walks), each time, causing
an earthquake, which shakes the room and trips up Mega Man. Every so often, a
large boulder will fall from the ceiling during these shakes, which Guts Man
will catch and toss at Mega Man. If the initial boulder flying through the air
happens to miss you, the fragments resulting from the impact probably will. To
combat this, equip the Hyper Bomb and toss away. Try to aim your tosses in the
middle of the room, because after they hit the ground, you have to wait for
them to detonate. Between Guts Man jumping around the room and the time it
takes to detonate the bomb, it's very easy to aim at him initially, and then
completely miss him when it actually goes off. It only takes three hits with
the Hyper Bomb to defeat this foe, so naturally, that's your best bet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CUT MAN
¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Rolling Cutters
Primary Weakness: Super Arm
Other Weaknesses: Hyper Bomb, Fire Storm
Description: Cut Man, "the guy with the scissors on his head," is another well
known cast member of the Mega Man games, even if he is a mere push-over in
comparison to other boomerang-weilding Robot Masters in the Mega Man games,
like Quick Man. A short robot in build, Cut Man can take the scissor off the
top of his head and chuck it at his enemy, having it return directly to its
place atop his head.

To Defeat Cut Man...

Cut Man is very, very simple to defeat as well, if you have the Super Arm from
Guts Man, which you should if you're following my order in which to defeat the
six Robot Masters in the game. The first thing you might notice in his lair is
that he has two blocks, large, square boulders that look as if they're made up
of smaller bricks. These are the key to your success. Cut Man will jump and run
around his lair, taking off the scissor on top of his head and chucking it at
you, then waiting for it to come back before attacking again. Once Cut Man is
away from you and these blocks to the left of his lair, step next to the block
with the Super Arm equipped, face it and press B. You'll pick up the boulder.
Face Cut Man's position, press B again, and you'll throw the block at him.
Voila, a direct hit results in half of his energy gone. There are two blocks,
which can both be used to the ultimate demise of Cut Man, but if you do miss
Cut Man with one or both of these attacks, the Hyper Bomb is an option to use
on Cut Man, although using the regular old arm cannon is far more efficient.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELEC MAN
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Thunder Beam
Primary Weakness: Rolling Cutters
Other Weaknesses: Super Arm, Hyper Bombs
Description: Elec Man is the menace of the original Mega Man - that is, he's
the hardest Robot Master in the game to defeat by far, whether or not you have
the right weapon(s) in your aresnal or not. His weapon, the Thunder Beam, does
incredibly MASSIVE damage to Mega Man upon impact, killing you in a matter of
three or four hits. This is why you have to make quick work of him before he
gets to you first. And trust me, that doesn't take long...

To Defeat Elec Man...

Elec Man is hard... and he can be a real problem for new players to the game.
You'll definetly, beyond a doubt, want to have the Rolling Cutters from Cut Man
in your arsenal before getting to fight Elec Man, and if you followed my order
in which to defeat the Robot Masters, then you'll have them indeed. Elec Man is
fast moving, with no pattern what-so-ever. He jumps around and fires his
Thunder Beam out of his fingertips, and this Elec Beam does massive damage,
evidentally, because Mega Man is weak to electricity, as it can short circuit
him. =) From the getgo, it's going to be a battle of who can outdo who. And
trust me, either way, the battle'll be short. There's no avoiding Elec Man,
he's just too much for you, I don't care who you are. =) Have the Rolling
Cutters equipped before you enter his lair, and be ready to fire them right
away. When Elec Man makes his appearance, start firing at him, jumping over
and/or avoiding his Elec Beams if you can. You only need to connect seven times
to make him reach his demise; however, without the Rolling Cutters, you might
be helpless. I can beat Elec Man without the Rolling Cutters, but that's just
because I've been playing too long. The average player won't last five seconds
without it. The Hyper Bombs do decent damage, as does the Super Arm, but you'll
have to wait for the bombs to explode, and where are the boulders to use in
Elec Man's lair?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ICE MAN
¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Ice Slasher
Primary Weakness: Thunder Beam
Other Weaknesses: Hyper Bomb, Fire Storm, Rolling Cutters
Description: The little Eskimo-looking Robot Master, Ice Man looks harmless
enough, but he's a killer. =) His Ice Slasher, which look like arrows made of
ice, are shot from him when he jumps and slowly descends, and are almost
impossible to avoid because of the style in which they are shot. But three
shots with a particular weapon make him quick work.

To Defeat Ice Man...

Ice Man isn't hard with or without the Thunder Beam, but you'll absolutly want
to have the Thunder Beam if you want to easily get through the battle. One
trick I'll tell you about that most Mega Man players know regarding the Thunder
Beam is what's known as the Pause Trick, which can also be used with the
Rolling Cutters and the Ice Slasher, as well as the Fire Storm, but not with
such great results. This is because the Elec Beam is LONG. When you fire the
Thunder Beam at Ice Man, or any weapon, start hitting select, keep hitting it,
and it'll pause, then unpause, then pause, et cetera, the game. The Thunder
Beam will shoot across the screen slowly. Once it starts to make contact with
Ice Man, it'll hit him multiple times, if you're doing the trick correctly, so
that he can be killed with one Thunder Beam in a matter of mere seconds, before
he can even get an attack off. That's considered cheating, of course, but hey,
any way you can do it, right? And hey, if you don't want to do that trick
because either you can't do it or you think it's cheap, then three regular
shots from the Thunder Beam will take out Ice Man almost as quickly. Don't
bother avoiding his Ice Slasher attack though, it's nearly impossible, the way
he jumps up and then shoots them at you as he descends, so that they are not
jumpable 95% of the time. And since you can't slide until Mega Man 3... well,
ya know. =)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIRE MAN
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯
Weapon: Fire Storm
Primary Weakness: Ice Slasher
Other Weaknesses: Rolling Cutters
Description: Fire Man, the coolest looking Robot Master out of the six in the
original Mega Man, is the last Robot Master on our journey to defeat. Fire Man
has two arm cannons, one where each hand WOULD be, which gives him double the
firing capacity, to fire that Fire Storm at you, a fire attack similar to the
Thunder Beam in looks, but not quite as strong. He shouldn't give you a
trouble, regardless of how menacing he looks.

To Defeat Fire Man...

If you have the Ice Slasher, great. If you don't, that's great too, I really
don't care. =) Either way, Fire Man is easy. When he shoots his Fire Storm at
you, you'll want to jump over and/or avoid it best you can, and then start
pummeling him with the Ice Slasher. It shouldn't be a problem for you - Fire
Man will fall with only seven hits from the Ice Slasher. He is also weak to the
Rolling Cutters you acquired from Cut Man, but that weapon is twice as weak
against Fire Man, and also, twice as hard to hit Fire Man with, with his speed
incorporated into the picture. Fire Man's dueling arm cannon threats shouldn't
be a proble, for you, my friends!

This other primary section of this FAQ is to assist you in the battles with the
stronger bosses found in the game, that aren't Robot Masters, but are found in
your journey through Dr. Wily's castle! Again, I hope it helps!

[in order of which they appear]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROCK MONSTER
¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Weapon: His Body
Primary Weakness: Thunder Beam
Other Weaknesses: Arm Cannon
Description: The Rock Monster is a cliché Mega Man enemy found in Wily's
castles throughout the series. He is always a huge brown "creature" (couldn't
think of a better word to describe him), that breaks apart randomly and shoots
across the room, reforming on the other side. His only weakness is hitting him
in his one eye, but to get there, you have to survive the cycloptic enemy's
onslaught of body parts first.

To Defeat Rock Monster...

Rock Monster is incredibly easy if you don't have any qualms with cheating a
little bit. Equip the Thunder Beam, and think of the trick I taught you when
you were fighting Ice Man back in the middle of the game. Using the Pause Trick
(rapidly pausing and starting, then repausing, et cetera, the game, as
described above), Rock Monster can be beaten with one or two Thunder Beams if
the trick is used to full effect. Otherwise, if you don't want to use that
trick for whatever reason, you'll have to be more patient with fighting Rock
Monster. Avoiding his flying body parts can be a bit of a chore, but surviving
the battle is the only way forward. Perhaps trying to defeat him the honest way
is the best option, but why bother if you keep losing to him? The arm cannon
also works on him, but to use that, you have to be greatly skilled and very
patient!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLONE
¯¯¯¯¯
Weapon: Your Arsenal
Primary Weakness: None
Other Weaknesses: None
Description: Clone is, yup, you guessed it, your clone. If you don't have the
right idea when you're fighting him, you can get beaten BADLY. He'll clone
everything, everything, everything you do, to every jump, walk, and run, to the
weapon you equip on yourself. So whatdya do!?

To Defeat Clone...

So Clone is giving you some trouble, eh? That's cool. We'll simply use the
Thunder Beam on him, smacking him around a bit with the pause trick I've now
described to you twice, and won't describe again. (if you're clueless on what
I'm talking about, see either Ice Man's strategy or Rock Monster's strategy).
So you figure that if this is your clone, that the Clone will use it against
you too? Well, technically, you're right, but the processor isn't that fast,
nor smart enough to detect that glitch, so using the trick against him will
kill him pretty quickly, long before his Elec Beam shooting at you will do any
damage to yourself. So worry not, use the trick, and don't be ashamed.
Otherwise, use the arm cannon so that he can't unleash the power of the six
other weapons you have on you, and duel him to the death.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROBOT BUBBLES
¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Weapon: Bubbles
Primary Weakness: Super Arm
Other Weaknesses: Arm cannon
Description: The Robot Bubbles are a group of seven robotic bubbles that reside
in a lair with three holes in the wall; one at the top, and one on either side
of the room. They come out of random holes in the wall, shooting smaller
bubbles at its foe. In addition, they get faster as you kill them...

To Defeat Robot Bubbles...

The Robot Bubbles are very easy. Notice how there are four blocks in the middle
of the boss lair, that you can use the Super Arm to pick up and throw. There's
your hint. The bubbles get faster as you kill them, and there are seven of
them. See where I'm going with this? Kill the first three, the three slowest,
by firing on them with the arm cannon, and avoiding the bubbles they shoot, and
running into the bubbles themselves. After three are defeated, equip the Super
Arm right away. When the fourth comes out of the wall, have one of the four
blocks in the room in your hands and chuck the blocks at 'em. Using the four
blocks, kill the final four bubbles and the boss enemy will be defeated like
that. =)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DR. WILY
¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯
Weapon: UFO
Primary Weakness: Thunder Beam and Rolling Cutters
Other Weaknesses: None
Description: This is the final battle of the game, and naturally, you'll be
fighting the mastermind behind all of the mayhem in the game, Dr. Wily. Dr.
Wily fights from the relative safety of his UFO, and you'll have to fight two
different forms of it, so get ready. =)

To Defeat Dr. Wily...

Dr. Wily is a very simple battle if you don't care about using the pause cheat.
As you begin the fight, Wily will be in his UFO. There's a huge red dot on the
front of it that shoots plasma shots at you. Equip the Thunder Beam and fire at
the dot. Use the pause trick if you'd like, if not, keep firing away at it
until the energy meter is done on Wily. Since the Thunder Beam can shoot up and
down as well as forward at the same time, try to find some safety by hiding
under Wily's craft, and fire from there. Once that red dot is defeated, the
armor comes off of Wily's UFO and you can see the man within, but he'll still
be in his UFO in this final battle. The UFO is more mobile now, but just as
easy to defeat. Equip the Rolling Cutters this time and fire them at the
cockpit area, and again, use the pause trick, or you can do it the conventional
way, but trust me, doing the battle the conventional way is haaaard. Either
way, once he's defeated, you've beaten the game. Congratulations!

I love videogames, especially RPGs. My favorite series for videogames include
the Final Fantasy series (excluding VIII), the Dragon Warrior/Quest series, the
Mega Man series, and the Tales series. I aspire to go to Northeastern
University in the fall of 2002 to study History and Archaeology.
