BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER!

"Cossack to Mega Man! Cossack to Mega Man! Come in, Mega Man!"

"Protoman has gone wild! City Hall and the spaceport have been totally destroyed and the city's power grid is in shambles. I've never seen destruction on this scale before."

"I know you're worried about Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the city from the grip of Protoman's robots. I can modify your reactor to give the Mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light and I had been working on a special project, but it's not finished yet. Maybe if I can get it working, it might give you an edge."

"Remember to watch your back Mega Man. Protoman seems to have become more ruthless than we had thought possible. Good Luck."

"Cossack out!"

ATTACK OF THE CYBERNETIC SOLDIERS!

The dark shadows of Protoman's eight robots now cover the city. Each of these cybernetic soldiers have surrounded themselves with wave after wave of mindless metal munchkins who are just waiting to pound Mega Man! It's up to you to run, jump and climb past death-dealing robots and metallic maniacs to get into the robot master's inner sanctum. Once you arrive, you'll dig in and stand toe-to-toe against his awesome attacks! Pummel him with the power of our Mega Buster to throw him on the scrap heap for good. Add his weapon to your arsenal and get ready for action as you face the next robotic level!

As you blast Protoman's cybernetic creations to smithereens, you will gain their special weapon and add it to your arsenal. You can view the various weapons you have collected by press the START button. When the weapon box appears, you can see each all of the weapons, energy tanks and extra lives you have collected so far. Press the control pad in any direction to select the weapon you wish to activate and then press the A button. When you return to action, Mega Man will be armed with that weapon.

ROBOT REINFORCEMENTS

Mega Man isn't the only one who is worried about Dr. Light! Rush and Flip-Top are scouring the city for any clue to the location of their lost leader. But, if Mega Man is in needs of a little help, Rush is ready to leap to his side. Using his special powers, Rush can transform into a two unique configurations to help Mega Man get by treacherous traps.

Rush's Configurations Are:
(RC) Rush Coil: Rush turned into a springboard to send Mega Man flying over obstacles.

(RJ) Rush Jet: Rush turns into a jet sled for super-sonic travel.

NOTE: Rush can only transform into the Rush Coil at the beginning of the game. Mega Man must find the Rush Jet adapter before Rush can become the Rush Jet.

To summon Rush, press the START button. When the weapon box appears, press the control pad in any direction to highlight the machine you wish to use. Then press the A button to activate the machine.

CONTROL FOR THE BATTLE

When you return to battle, press the B button to call Rush and he will materialize next to you. Just jump on him and away you go!

Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase, will appear from time to time and give Mega Man a power-up item. Once he has dropped off his package, he will automatically transport himself back to Dr. Light's lab.

JUST BEAT IT!

Prior to Dr. Light's kidnapping, he and Dr. Cossack had been working on a brand new attack robot named BEAT. Hidden throughout the city are the parts to activate this powerful new ally. If Mega Man can collect the letters to spell out M E G A M A N V, Mega Man can call and activate BEAT.

USING YOUR PASSWORD

As you reduce Protoman's robot masters into scrap metal, Mega Man may be rewarded with a secret password. Using a piece of paper and a pencil, copy the color locations of the dots in the password grid. When you finish, place your password in a safe place.

The next time you play Mega Man 5, you can continue from where you received your password. Here's how:

1. On the title screen, move the arrow next to PASSWORD and press the A button.

2. When the empty password grid appears, move the brackets to select the color of the first dot and press the A button.

3. Move the brackets to the location of the first dot and press the A button to place the dot. (To erase the dot, press the A button again.)

4. To select a different color dot, press the B button to exit the password grid and select a dot.

5. Once you have finished placing each of the dots in your password, move the brackets to END and press the A button. If the password is correct, the game will return you to where you received the password.

MEGA HINTS

1. Each robot master is vulnerable to a certain type of weapon. If a robot master seems hard to defeat using the normal cannon, you may need to acquire a special weapon to defeat him.

2. If your special weapon runs out of energy, pick up a weapon capsule while the special weapon is active and it will recharge the weapon.

3. There are power-up items hidden behind some walls. Blast the walls with your Mega Buster to find these secret passages.

4. Ride the Super Arrow to help Mega Man scale high walls.

5. Charge up the Mega Buster as you run, so it is ready when you need it.
