Version History -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.0 -The initial release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Story -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Wily is defeated (again), peace reigns over the land. That is, until a robot by the name of King attacks Dr. Light's lab and a robot museum. He also steals some of Dr. Wily's plans for robots. Rockman, enraged, goes to the museum to confront King and Dr. Wily sends Forte to find out what King is doing and to get his plans back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Controls -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can play as either Rockman (Mega Man in the U.S.) or Forte (Bass in the U.S.). Rockman: D-Pad Left: Move left D-Pad Right: Move right Y Button: Fire Hold Y Button: Charge the Rock Buster Release Y Button: Fire a charged shot B Button: Jump D-Pad Down + B: Slide L Button: Cycle through your weapons R Button: Cycle through your weapons Start: Pause Forte: D-Pad Left: Move left D-Pad Right: Move right Y Button: Fire B Button: Jump B while in the air: Double jump A: Dash B + A: Dashing jump L Button: Cycle through your weapons R Button: Cycle through your weapons Start: Pause -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Differences between Rockman & Forte -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are a few differences between Rockman & Forte. The most obvious is the difference between the Rock Buster and the Forte Buster. Forte can no longer charge shots (like in Mega Man 7). Instead, he can rapidly fire shots in eight seven directions (he can't shoot straight down) if Y is held down. There can be up to three shots at a time on the screen. The downside to this is that Forte can't walk while he's firing. He can jump and dash though. Rockman, on the other hand, still charges the Rock Buster to create a super shot. His normal shots are much slower than Forte's and you must tap Y every time you wish to fire. Forte can do a second jump in the middle of his first jump. This allows him to get to places Rockman cannot. Rockman's slide can get him under certain shots and enemies as it gets him low to the ground. However, Forte's dash doesn't get him low to the ground and it is mainly for boosting his jump. Both Rockman and Forte are easier at different points in the game. Forte makes it easier to beat Cold Man, Dynamo Man and Pirate Man, while Rockman makes it easier to beat Burner Man. Many of the levels are more difficult with Rockman, but the final bosses are much, much easier to beat with him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Weapons -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copy Vision: Rockman/Forte creates an energy double that fires continuously. It is created in the spot where you are when you activate it. Also, homing projectiles track the copy instead of you. It's won from Astro Man. Ice Wall: Rockman/Forte creates a wall of ice that can be pushed forward. It will gain momentum and destroy just about everything in its path. It rebounds after it hits a wall. You can stand on the wall to reach high ledges, and you can stand on a moving wall to get across spikes. If you're underwater, the Ice Wall will float straight up and you can ride it. It's won from Cold Man. Lightning Bolt: Rockman/Forte points straight up into the air and four lightning bolts rain down from the sky, hitting just about everything on the screen. If done in the middle of a jump, this will freeze you in mid-air. It can also be used to avoid shots you can't dodge. It's won from Dynamo Man. Magic Card: Rockman/Forte fires a card which goes out and then returns. It can be fired in three directions (left, right and up). Any powerups the card passes over will be brought back with it. It's won from Magic Man. Remote Mine: Rockman/Forte fires a mine that may be steered with the D-Pad. It sticks to the first thing it hits. After it sticks, press B again to detonate it. It's won from Pirate Man. Spread Drill: Rockman/Forte fires a huge drill that slopes downward. Pressing Y again creates two smaller drills and pressing it again creates four tiny drills. It can drill through ice or stone blocks. It's won from Ground Man. Tengu Blade: Rockman/Forte fires an upward arcing blade. If it hits a wall, it ricochets off it. If you dash or slide while having Tengu Blade active, you will dash forward and slice any enemies you contact. It's won from Tengu Man. Wave Burner: Rockman/Forte sprays a blast of fire similar to the way a flamethrower does. This can light fuses and push the mines and bubbles in Pirate Man's stage. It's won from Burner Man. Gospel Boost: Only Forte has this. Gospel (Treble in the U.S.) teleports in and fuses with Forte. This gives Forte the ability to fly. He also can fire shots simultaneously in three directions. However, he cannot climb ladders. This must be bought from Rightot. Rush Search: Only Rockman has this. Rush teleports in and digs. If he finds anything, he pulls it out. If Rush is hit while he is digging, he stops and teleports out. This must be bought from Rightot. Beat: Only Rockman has this. Beat comes in and shields Rockman in a protective barrier. The barrier continuously drains energy until it is shut off. This must be bought from Rightot. Eddie: Only Rockman has this. Eddie comes down and delivers up to three items to Rockman. This must be bought from Rightot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

CDs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since more CDs can be gotten with Rockman than with Forte, assume that you should use Rockman unless it's stated that Forte should be used. Before seriously trying to get the CDs, you'll need to buy a few things from Rightot. For Rockman: Rush Search CD Counter CD Finder Reciever For Forte: Gospel Boost CD Counter Reciever Some enemy descriptions: Cannon-Green and orange guns that shoot green balls at you. Claw-Arm-A robot that swings around with its claw. Disappearing and Reappearing Block-Blocks that appear for a few seconds, then disappear for a few seconds. They've been in such games as Mega Man, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3. Dispensers-A machine that churns for a few seconds and then spits out an ice or brick block.

Strongman-A robot which either hurls a metal ball, a blue balloon or a spike ball which explodes at you. One last thing, I consider a screen to end when the game slides to the next part of the level. For instance, the first screen in the museum is from the start of the level to where you actually enter the museum. And now to the CDs: 001 (Rockman): In the Dynamo Man stage. After some conveyor belts, you'll enter a screen with a ladder going up and a helibot next to it. Destroy the robot and use the Ice Wall to go right. You'll see sparks on the platform. Dig up the CD. 002 (Roll): In the Cold Man stage. Use Forte to get this. In the portion of the level with the ice platforms and the helibots, go through the screen until you get near the end. There should be an ice platform up and to the right. Double jump to it and collect the CD. 003 (Cut Man): In the Magic Man stage. As you enter the level, you'll see sparks to your left. Dig up the CD. 004 (Guts Man): In the Burner Man stage. Use Forte to get this. After defeating the rhino, you fall down a shaft. You'll see the CD to the right. Double jump to reach the opening and get the CD. 005 (Ice Man): In the Cold Man stage. Near the very end of the level, there is a part with some dispensers and spinning penguins. Among that is a CD. You'll see the sparks between two of dispensers. 006 (Bomb Man): In the Tengu Man stage. Near the end of the first screen you'll see the sparks. Use Rush to dig the CD up. 007 (Fire Man): In the Astro Man stage. From #037, go down and you'll see a robot on the wall and some sparks under it.

In the screen with the green balloons, ride the first one up and climb the ladder. Create an Ice Wall and ride it across the spikes to the left. Climb the ladder and go right. You'll see sparks, so use Rush to dig the CD up. 011 (Bubble Man): In the Pirate Man stage. You'll see the CD as you climb up a ladder. Go around and destroy the robots in your path and get the CD. 012 (Quick Man): In the Dynamo Man stage. At the very end of the stage, there is a conveyor belt under some spikes.

It's easier to do with Forte and it helps to have the Shock Step. 014 (Flash Man): In the Cold Man stage. Go through the level and eventually you'll see a CD behind an ice block. Use the Spread Drill to break the ice and collect the CD. 015 (Heat Man): In the Burner Man stage. A little after the screen with the spears, you'll be in a room with a rhino and birds. However, you'll also see the sparks for the CD _UNDER_ the platform the rhino is on. So how do you get this? You slide under the platform and activate the Rush Search in mid-slide. Even then, it takes some luck as it has to be in the correct place and the annoying birds cannot hit it. 016 (Wood Man): In the Burner Man stage. During the screen with the fire bombing robots, you'll see some sparks on a high platform. Get up there with an Ice Wall and dig the CD up. 017 (Needle Man): In the Ground Man stage.

General Tips -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -If you're playing as Rockman, enter the battle with Cold Man, Burner Man and Dynamo Man with your Rock Buster fully charged. Then fire at them when they come down. -If you're low on energy with Forte, stand under a worm dispenser and fire up. The energy will automatically fall down on you. -Get the Super Buster with Forte and the Fast Charge with Rockman as quickly as possible. They make the game much easier. -If you're using Forte, fire the walls. If you're not using the Hyper Buster and the shots don't hit the wall, it means there's a secret area! -If you're using Forte, an easy way to defeat Guard Joes is to stand next to their shield and firing away at them. An Ice Wall also gets the job done nicely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10.
