TIME TRAP!
"Light to Mega Man! Light Mega Man! Come in Mega Man!!!!
"Dr. Wily has broken into the Chronos Institute and stolen the experimental Time Skinner. We tried tracking him on radar, but he simply vanished. My calculations show that he jumped approximately 37.426 years into the future. I have no idea what he plans to do, but your can be sure that he'll be back!
"In the meantime, Rush has sniffed out a few of Wily's robots guarding a subterranean passage. Get over there and check it out. And remember, let's be careful down there!
"Light out!"

TERROR BENEATH THE EARTH!
Lurking at the entrance to the underground cavern are four of Dr. Wily's most fiendish robots. Each of these angry androids has surrounded itself with a web on tin-plated terrors who want to mangle Mega Man! It's up to you to run, jump and climb past these metallic maniacs to the inner sanctum of the robot master. Once you arrive, it's going to be a cybernetic showdown and only one of you will survive. Launch a barrage of lethal lasers and keep on pounding the robot master until he's a mound of molten metal. Then grab his weapon and get ready for the next steel stompin' cyborg.

The 3 Rush adaptors are:
Rush Coil - Rush turns into a springboard to catapult you over obstacles.
Rush Marine - Rush turns into a submarine for undersea travel.

USING YOUR PASSWORD
As you reduce Dr. Wily's crafty creations into scrap metal, Mega Man may be rewarded with a secret password. Using a piece of paper and a pencil, copy the location of the dots in the password grid. When you have finished, place your password in a safe place.
The next time you play Mega Man II 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, use the control pad to move the brackets to the location of your first dot. Press the A button to place the dot. (To erase the dot, press the A button again.)
3. Once you have finished placing each of the dots in your password, press the START button. If the password is correct, the game will return you to where you received the password.

THE WINNERS EDGE
1. Each robot is vulnerable to a certain type of weapon. If a robot master seems to 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 slightly.
3. Practice firing from ladders and while jumping to blast sky-high machines.
4. If you get hit by an enemy, you will be invincible for a moment. Use this time to get by any tough obstacles.
5. If you can't jump over enemies, try sliding under them!
