1. Introduction
===============

Welcome to my guide. The endless level rocks, it's a great feature added to
an already great game.

The endless level is DLC for Mega Man 9, and will cost you 300
Wii Points in America. I have divided the levels into tilesets, which you can
use to help locate a specific level. The tilesets are as follows:

Grey and Red Blocks
Underwater
Green Blocks
Ice
Orange Rocks
Orange Blocks
Blue Blocks
Pink Blocks

Note that some of the levels might fit into two categories, for example,
there is an underwater stage with ice. Note that the "ice" tileset means
the levels with snowy walls. Secondary feature are also listed.

If a level is good to farm on, I have indicated it under the tileset.

Enjoy!



==============================================================================
2. About the Endless Level
==========================

The Endless Level (or Endless Attack as the game calls it) was released on
October 6th, 2008 for the Wii, at the price of 300 Wii Points. The level is
mostly an original creation for Mega Man 9, but some of the levels hearken
back to older Mega Man games. This mode is one of the major modes of gameplay
within Mega Man 9, as the entire mode would constitute about 5-6 normal
Mega Man boss levels. In this respect, it's an incredible bargain.

The game is composed of 42 Levels (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?),
and 8 of these levels are boss levels, the remaining 34 are standard,
mostly original, creations.

Each Level is divided into screens, between 3-6. Boss Levels are always 3
screens, while the regular Levels are 4-6. You start at a Blue Door, and
there is a Red Door at the end of the Level, which warps you to another
random Level.

The order is random every time, which means that each game will be different!

About every 30 screens you fight a boss. The boss will drop a large life
pellet when they are destroyed.

You start with all of your weapons
and full weapon energy/health, but you much collect power-ups dropped from
enemies along the way. There are no 1-Ups, E-Tanks, M-Tanks, Eddies, etc.

When you die, your score will be uploaded to the Top 10, if you've beaten
someone else's record. You can only have 1 score on the Top 10. Unfortunately,
you cannot view your own high score, but the game will let you know, when
you die, if you beat your previous record.

If you manage to defeat 8 bosses, the game will increase the damage that
enemies do by 1 HP. If you defeat 8 more bosses, all enemies get their damage
boosted by an additional 1 HP, and so forth. Eventually, you will die in a
single hit from anything... so good luck!



==============================================================================
3. About this Guide
===================

This guide was designed as a walkthrough and FAQ for the Endless Level. I
use a mnemonic naming system to identify the levels, because there is no
official name for them. Science has undeniably proven that interesting
or different names and phrases can be more easily remembered than generic
naming systems. I have, however, also included Level number to more
easily classify the stage.

I have listed the stages in order of Tileset.

==============================================================================
4. Levels
=========

Below is a full walkthrough (as well as hints and tips)
for each Level in the Endless Attack.




LEVEL 1

ROCK BEATS SCISSORS
Tileset: Grey and Red, with ice

There are some platforms and Metools. Use the Buster on the first screen (or
Rush Coil and skip it). Climb up the ladder. Use the Jewel Satellite for these
three Metools, or a Tornado Blow. The next screen has some Ice Blocks and
spikes... make SURE to use the Jewel Satellite before jumping across, or
Scissors will probably kick your ass. Then just hop across the platforms
killing the other scissors. Not the easiest screen, but be careful and you
should be okay.




LEVEL 2

SPARK TUNNELS: AN EASY LEVEL
Tileset: Grey and Red, with a green and black background

This stage starts with a single platform with 2 Sparks on it, and you'll
fight 2 Spiders and a blue cannon. Take the top path, the others are dead
ends. Last screen has a Metool and Ground Spinner thing.




LEVEL 3

HEAT MAN BLOCKS
Tileset: Grey and Red, with a black background.

If you are a sissy, use the Rush Jet. If you're not, then memorize the
pattern. There are 3 vertical jumps, memorize them and it's a cakewalk. The
trick is to look for the three blocks in a row at the end, over the pit,
after the third one, jump up to land on the next block. You'll notice this
same pattern right at the begging of the blocks. The second vertical jump is
right before the lava. That 1-Up will tempt you, but don't be greedy, Mega
Man, it's a Metool.




LEVEL 4

MEGA MAN: DR. WILY LEVEL 1
Tileset: Grey and Red, with a blue sky

Ahhh, nostalgia. We remember this area. Buster blast the stompers, concrete
shot the lasers. For the third stomper, just let him jump over you when he
jumps down from the stairs.




LEVEL 5

MEGA MAN 2: WILY LEVEL 2
Tileset: Underwater

You'll know your here when you have to drop down a screen and are underwater.
Oh, and did I mention the spikes? Yes, I'm pretty sure I did. Short hop or
just run off the edge, fall down to the left on the second screen, then stay
in the middle of the third screen. After the platforms fall to right, or get
exploded by 2 spike balls. We remember this area.




LEVEL 6

OCTOPUS TOWN, ARE YOU DOWN?
Tileset: Underwater
FARM SCREEN!

When you start this stage you will see no spikes, drill fish are waiting to
spawn as soon as you move left. There are octopi sitting on pillars, use the
Mega Buster or Laser Trident to take them out. Be careful of the spikes on
the ceiling, and for a few more Drill Fish, but overall this section is
pretty easy. The last screen has some spikes on it, you can just walk to the
left, without jumping, and survive.




LEVEL 7

SPIKES WERE EVERYWHERE! ALSO, TENTACLES
Tileset: Underwater

This level starts with you on a platform and another platform under you with
spikes to each side. Don't be fooled, just hold right and you should make
it without hitting the spikes. Get rid of the mines (BHB or Buster + Dodge,
personally I find it easy to dodge these two, so save your BHB). You can
trick the second mine if you shoot it and fall down in between the pillars.
Kill the Octopus and proceed through the M jump with spikes EVERYWHERE! Not
too hard, take out the Octopi, and don't jump over the little pit, just walk
to the right, with the Trident equipped and blast the second Octopus. Careful
jump the 3-Spike pit, Rush Jet if you don't feel up to it, but a short hop
will do.




LEVEL 8

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING
Tileset: Underwater, with ice floors

Drill fish will spawn as soon as you walk to the right. Take the ladder up.
Shoot the mine, but don't jump over the wall and he will kill himself. Take
the ladder, and kill both of these mines with a single, well-placed BHB. Go
up again. These mines won't hurt you, up and through the door. Watch out for
more Drill Fish. this level is a lot like "DON'T SLIP" except this one has
water and different enemies.




LEVEL 9

NON-DESCRIPT SPIKE-FILLED CORRIDOR
Tileset: Underwater, with orange rocks at the beginning
FARM SCREEN!

Fall down and stay in the middle-ish avoid the spikes, it's nothing too
sinister. Avoid the Drill Fish, or farm them. Take it slow and short-hop
to avoid the spikes. Moving on...




LEVEL 10

GET DRILLED BY FISH
Tileset: Underwater

You start in between 2 ladders. Take either one, watch out for Drill Fish.
Wait until the Floor Runner passes you, then go up the ladder. Climb the
stairs, and jump back into the water, you'll have to jump over the Floor
Runners, and it can be tough not to get hit. Drill Fish are everywhere, don't
bother farming, this level is a pain. At the end, it's worth it to use the
Rush Jet to get to the door.




LEVEL 11

THE SNIPER JOE PRISON
Tileset: Underwater, then lavender blocks with a black background

You start underwater with 3 Mines on the screen. Quickly ignore them and take
the ladder. On the next screen, you'll have to kill these guys. Take the
first out with a BHB, then shoot the other ones, and dodge them, making them
explode.You can trick the top one, if you jump, shoot, then fall back down to
the bottom. Just jump out of the water, ignoring the mines. You don't have to
kill the Sniper Joes, just time your climb. After the ladder, careful of the
Shield Flyers, but there isn't a lot of challenge here.




LEVEL 12

DR. WILY'S SWIMMING POOL
Tileset: Underwater, with green and yellow blocks
FARM SCREEN

This screen starts with a big hole filled with water, and half of the screen
normal air. Watch out for the Drill Fish, or farm them. There is a Sniper Joe
as well. At the end, shoot the mines, then jump out fo the water until you
clear the entire left side, then quickly jump up the ladder. Take the right
ladder, watch out for Drill Fish, and get the hell out of here.




LEVEL 13

GREEN SPARK SHOCKERS AND STAIR STOMPERS
Tileset: Green, with a blue background

There are three floating platforms, and two have sparks on them. Take the
ladder in the upper right, use the Jewel Satellite if you are low on life. The
second screen has a ton of ladders and sparks, the Jewel Satellite is, again,
a good choice to use in this room. Climb up the ladder and use the Rush Coil
to jump onto the first pillar, then jump to the second, then the ladder. Or
you can go down the ladders and climb up on the left. Shoot the Stomper on
the stairs with the Plug Ball, six hits for an easy kill. The others you can
kill with the Buster. They will chase you, so give yourself plenty of room
to kill 'em before you drop down a level.




LEVEL 14

JUMP JUMP (SLIDE SLIDE)
Tileset: Green, with a blue background

You start on a platform with a ladder leading down to another platform, with
a Ground Runner on it. Fall either way, but hug the center wall or you'll
asplode on some spikes. The Ground Runners can be a pain, but careful jumping
can easily avoid them.




LEVEL 15

THEY HAD A SALE ON GREEN PAINT
Tileset: Green, with a black background

You'll see a spark and a Mine Cart on the first and second screen. Use Rush
Coil to get to the ladder, and use it again on the second screen... and the
third screen (ignore the Wall Shooter, or BHB him). Ignore the spark on the
next screen. Take out the wall shooter, and go up the ladder on the right.
You can ignore the Sniper Joes and Shield Flyer, or take 'em out, your choice.




LEVEL 16

TOWER CLIMBING 101
Tileset: Green with orange highlights, with a green background
FARM SCREEN!

The door is above spikes, so jump to the right and start climbing! Farm the
Teles (spinning cylinders), and keep climbing. BHB the Sniper Joe and avoid
the sparks, or Jewel Satellite and reflect his shots back at him, and kill
the sparks. Keep climbing, you'll see Up-And-Down platforms. When you get to
the last screen you can farm the Teles, but you'll need Hornets, a BHB, or a
Tornado Blow to kill the Sniper Joe.




LEVEL 17

UMBRELLA-ELLA-ELLA-ELLAS
Tileset: Green with orange highlights, with a green background

A Cannon and Floor Runner, take out the cannon and jump down, but hold right.
Forget the spark and take out the Shield Bot with your Trident. The third
Umbrella spawn point is actually a grabber, so watch out! Jump over the Floor
Runners and into the door. Don't be stupid around the spikes.




LEVEL 18

WHOOOOOOOOA!
Tileset: Green with orange highlights, with a blue background

The first screen has no enemies, but it does have a spike pit. No biggy.
However, after the spike pit, there is a Claw Grabber, so avoid it at all
costs, or get caught and try to jump, see if I care. There is another grabber
on the platform made up of 5 big columns, but it's actually easier to let him
grab you, the next jumps aren't that tough, just jumping up columns.  You
can get by the hard jumps with Rush, which isn't a bad idea at all. Just take
it slow.




LEVEL 19

THREE PATHS DIVERGED IN THE SKY AND I...
Tileset: Green blocks and blue sky
FARM SCREEN!

You have a choice of top, middle, or bottom right from the start. Use your
Jewel Satellite and kill all the cannon fodder on this screen (you'll probably
fill your J. Sat. back up by the end. Take the middle path off the screen...
or die.




LEVEL 20

A FRIGID PROSPECTIVE
Tileset: Ice, with snowy walls

Starts with an icy floor and a ladder in the bottom right. Fall down the
ladder, but hold left to avoid the spikes. Take out the Metools and Flying
Shield Monster. Fall down the ladder and blast the two Red Cannons to bits.
Fight the Cannons on top of the ice pillars, don't slip! and then jump across
the single blocks, avoiding the Stompers.




LEVEL 21

FIRE (YOUR BUSTER) AND ICE
Tileset: Ice, with snowy walls

When you start, you'll be able to see 4 spikes off to the right, and some ice
platforms. Take the top path, and beware a Shield Flyer. Stay above the
spikes to destroy the Cannon without putting yourself in danger. If you get
nervous, use BHBs on the following cannons, and watch out for another Shield
Flyer. One or two of the jumps are tricky, but don't be afraid to wimp out
and use Rush once or twice.




LEVEL 22

ALIEN PROBES, LOL?
Tileset: Orange rocks, black background
FARM SCREEN!

Rocks, UFOs, and Up-Down platforms make this stage pretty distinctive.  Equip
the Jewel Satellite and run/jump. across the level. Farm the UFOs on the
bottom of the second rock section if you need energy and power, but watch
out for the Anti Mega Men on the top section. Easy, easy, easy.




LEVEL 23

I'LL FREAKING JUMP, I SWEAR IT!
Tileset: Orange rocks, black and green background.

This screen starts with 3 "Up" platforms and one "down" platform, as well as
your daily dose of deadly spikes. Short hop your way to the ladder, or Rush
Jet across. You'll fall onto an ice platform, jump across into pit, and don't
be afraid to use a Tornado Blow to take out the Wall Shooters in here, they
can easily knock you into the spikes (ask me how I know...). The next screen
has three Jewel Shooters and a back-and-forth icy-velvet-rope-at-the-bank
thing going on. The next screen can be trick, you can dodge all these guys,
or take 'em out with BHBs, a Tornado Blow, or the Mega Buster. You're call.
When you go down the ladder, just fall, you'll land right on the door.




LEVEL 24

DON'T SLIP!
Tileset: Orange rocks with ice floors.

Fight the Sniper Joes, avoid the pits with spikes, climb up the ladder at the
end. Take out the balloons, keep climbing up. This level is a lot like the
underwater level with ice floors "I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING", in
fact, it's identical aside from the lack of water and a different enemy
layout. Kill the Sniper Joes, and, CAREFULLY, head to the door, DON'T SLIP!




LEVEL 25

WHERE AM I?
Tileset: Orange blocks, with green highlights, with a blue background.

The level starts with a ladder and a Metool, with a Green Cannon not too far
to the right. Get on the top path, killing Metools along the way, and take
out the Sniper Joe at the end (use the Jewel Satellite if you are low on
health). To get to the ladder, use Rush Coil (or Jet, or a C. Shot, or even
a T. Blow if you have to). Climb up the ladder and fight a couple of Spiders.
Up another ladder. Jewel Satellite to kill the two sparks, or Rush Jet across.




LEVEL 26

ELEPHANTS OMG
Tileset: Orange blocks, with green highlights, with a green background.
FARM SCREEN!

You start in the air, by a chain-link fence. Go right and kill the regular
Elephant. The next Elephant bounces his ball, but if you stand on the floor
seem right by his ball, you won't get hit when he bounces it. The third
screen has Anti-Mega Men, so get to that ladder quickly! You can jump from
one ladder to the next, but it can be VERY difficult. Just use the Rush Jet,
or Concrete Shot if you feel dangerous and simply hate having a lot of weapon
energy. Kill the plants (splurge on a Tornado Blow if you want) or farm them.




LEVEL 27

WARNING: LASERS BAD FOR RETINAS
Tileset: Blue blocks, red and black background.

The screen starts with an irregular tunnel dropping down to the left, with a
Ground Spinner and a Metool. The next screen has another Ground Spinner and
Metool. Keep falling until you get to the bottom, and take out the Metool,
then equip your Concrete Shot. You have to be a little over 2 blocks away for
the C. Shot to hit the laser beam. If you happen to get hit, use the
invincibility frames to your advantage, and run though the next beam if you
can. For the big beam, fall down, shoot a C. Shot, and take the bottom path.
Jump to the platform, or use Rush Coil if you want to play it safe.




LEVEL 28

POPSICLE BLOCKS
Tileset: Blue blocks, with ice and snowy walls and blue sky.
FARM SCREEN

You'll start with spikes everywhere and a ladder on the left. Take it. You'll
reach a platforming hell area with spikes, Flower Pots shooting Flowers at
you and Birds dropping Rocks. Fun. Use the Jewel Shield as much as you need
to, then on the next screen with a ladder, farm it back from the Bird and
his Rocks. Then fall down, right after the first single block, and land on
the door.




LEVEL 29

MARBLE ZONE: ACT 2
Tileset: Blue blocks with purple background, and lava

Jump across and avoid the Flame Thrower Shield Bots. Ignore the Fire Worm,
and fall down the first pit. Hug the left wall, and when you land quickly
jump over the Worm before he pops up and fall down the next pit. The next
jump is a doozey, but easily doable. The faint of heart should use Rush Jet.




LEVEL 30

AFTER ALL THAT LAVA, I COULD USE A SWIM!
Tileset: Blue blocks, with lava, underwater.

Make your way right, and watch out for the 2 Flame Thrower Shield monsters.
Jump into the water: next screen, move to the right, next screen hold left so
you don't fall in the spikes. Take out the octopi, go up, up the mountain
ahead and into the door.




LEVEL 31

WE ALL DIED THE FIRST TIME HERE
Tileset: Pink with blue background

No enemies on the first screen, so fall down the hole and hug the right wall.
The spikes get you? No? Good, keep moving to the right, you can run by all
of the Plant Robots, BUT!!!! as soon as you climb the set of stairs, slow
down and edge forward to avoid a very tricky Claw Grabber. You can jump
all of these pits, but just run at the end to avoid the spikes and get to
the door. Don't jump or you could poke an eye out.




LEVEL 32

DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME
Tileset: Pink

This level starts with two ladders and a Blue Stomper on the ground, quickly
drop down and start firing at him, then climb up the ladder. Jump across the
columns and grab the ladder. If you miss the ladder you can jump out over the
pit, turn, and summon Rush right where you were standing. No worries, climb
up. Take out the Blue Stomper, climb up and go right. Keep moving, don't
stop moving and you'll be fine. Fall down, and you'll be in for a serious
fight.




LEVEL 33

WATCH THAT LAST STEP
Tileset: Pink, with ice

The second screen looks like Flash Man's battle arena, and you'll have to
kill a Sniper Joe and a Jewel Shooter. The Jewel Satellite is a decent choice
here, reflect the machine gun bullets back at him, or use the Laser Trident.
Next screen has a Stomper, use Plug Ball or the Buster. Careful of your
momentum on the next screen, you could die before you can do anything. Jump
across, or Rush Jet, and climb the ladder all the way to the top. Blast the
Jewel Shooters and then jump to the door. If you fall... well, it's better
just not to fall, trust me.




LEVEL 34

DID M.C. ESCHER WORK ON THIS GAME?
Tileset: Pink, with a blue background
FARM SCREEN!

You start at the base of a big staircase. Take it to the ladder, and blast
the Flower Pot along the way. Climb the next stair case, and kill the flower
pots. Farm 'em if you need to. If you are low on health, definitely use a
Jewel Satellite to farm. The last staircase has some sparks on it, go ahead
and use the Jewel Satellite again, you'll need it. Clear off all the sparks
to, hopefully, get your energy back.

5. Boss Levels
==============

Knowing which boss you are going up against can be a very useful tool.
Luckily, the bosses are easily identifiable before entering the chamber.




LEVEL 35

Plug Man

You'll know you are fighting Plug Man when you see the 2 Tetris T-Blocks
outside of his room (the same platforms that are in his arena).




Level 36

Splash Woman

She's easy to notice, because she is the only boss in an underwater arena.




LEVEL 37

Concrete Man

While the outside of his boss room is non-descript, you can tell it's
him because the floor is a few blocks higher than it normally is. Also
the blocks are blue and grey, with a + pattern on them.




LEVEL 38

Jewel Man

Outside of his arena blocks hang down irregularly, like stalactites.




LEVEL 39

Hornet Man

The waiting room for Hornet Man's area looks like an upside down "V"




LEVEL 40

Galaxy Man

His arena has 2 steps leading up to it. The steps are only 1 blocks high,
but several blocks wide.




LEVEL 41

Magma Man

Magma Man resides up a set of stairs, the are one block high and 2 blocks
wide.




LEVEL 42

Tornado Man

To reach Tornado Man's arena, you must first climb a ladder.



==============================================================================
6. Strategy
===========

The most important thing to remember is that this is not a race. It is not
a time attack, rather, it is an endurance test. Therefore, you should play
conservatively, and refill your weapon energy and health and every convenient
farming opportunity.

Don't freak out if you get to a boss and don't have any of its weakness
weapon. A cool head always (sometimes) prevails. On the same note, make
sure some weapons are always full before other. Jewel Satellite should always
be as full as possible, because you need all of it in case you fight Plug
Man, as well as Tornado Blow.

However, don't be a weapon miser. You have your weapons, so use them! Learn
balance, and you'll go further!

Don't touch the spikes.
