Megaman II
Dr. Wily is back with eight of his own Robot Masters! As Mega Man, fight Heat Man, Bubble Man, Wood Man, Metal Man, Quick Man, Crash Man, and Air Man. Defeat one Robot Master and use his unique weapon on the next! This game introduced passwords to save game progress, Energy Tanks, and helper devices (a precursor to Rush). The North American version features two difficulty modes. Considered by many to be the best game in the series. Вторая часть довольно плодовитой и популярной серии игр про человечка в синем энергетическом костюме и с пушкой, вмонтированной в рукав. Простая стрелялка с видом сбоку, с достаточно разнообразными уровнями и симпатичными боссами. Все игры этой серии отличаются друг от друга только разным дизайном уровней и набором боссов. Которые, впрочем, достаточно однотипны - все они гуманоиды с различными приспособлениями на костюмах.
How to Play

- Play levels: Proceed through the levels, defeating enemies along the way. Remember to save your progress frequently to avoid losing your game state.
- Use items: Collect and use items to gain advantages over enemies. These include energy tanks and helper devices.
- Defeat Robot Masters: Defeat each Robot Master to advance to the next level. Each Robot Master uses a unique weapon, which becomes available to Mega Man upon defeat.

Remember that the game is designed to be challenging, so it might take some practice to master all the characters and their abilities.
Tips to Win
Here are some tips to increase your chances of winning:
- Understand the difficulty modes: The difficulty mode affects the number of times you have to hit many robots to defeat them. Understanding this can help you plan your strategy accordingly.
- Use the Faintwarp trick: When you go to your weapons screen, Mega Man enters a state called “faintwarp”. During this state, he cannot be damaged. This can be useful when fighting the orbs in Wily’s fortress.
- Master the energy system: You can get infinite ammo for any weapon that doesn’t use a full unit of energy per shot. This can be achieved by shooting a few times, then opening and closing your subscreen, causing the game to forget about the fractional part of energy that you consumed.
- Take advantage of unique Robot Master abilities: Some Robot Masters can be defeated with one hit. For example, a single Metal Blade will finish Metal Man. Other Robot Masters require specific strategies to defeat, such as detonating a Crash Bomb on Wood Man’s shield to deal multiple hits of damage.
- Utilize the teleporting hatches: These allow you to travel quickly between stages, saving time and resources.
- Practice makes perfect: The more you play, the better you’ll understand the game mechanics and develop effective strategies.
