TERROR FROM OUT OF THE SKY!
The roar of a flying saucer shatters an otherwise peaceful day in the city! Gliding to a halt high above the city's skyscrapers, a small hatch on the underside of the saucer slides open and a tiny radio beacon begins to send a sinister new signal.
Suddenly, hundreds of deactivated robots at the World Robot Exposition burst ti life and begin destroying everything in mad rampage toward the center of the city!
Watching the destruction unfold on his video monitor, Wily lets out a small laugh as he turns his attention to the robots who are now assembling in the city below. Scanning the thousands of robots awaiting his orders, Wily slammed his fists onto the control panel as he realizes one robot is free from the effects of his mind control device—Mega Man is free!

TERROR FROM OUT OF THE SKY! CONT.
Realizing that Dr. Light must have altered Mega Man's control frequencies, Wily quickly formulates a new plan. Grinning with maniacal glee, Dr. Wily presses a single button to transmits new orders to his awaiting army. Acknowledging the signal, the robotic rebels begin to carry out the plan.
Observing from his saucer, Wily watches as the robots disappear into the eight sections of the city. Not everything is going according to plan, he thinks to himself. But I have something else in store, just in case....

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!
Back from the scrap heap are eight of Mega Man's most fiendish foes. Each of these robot masters has created an impenetrable fortress of laser turrets and hundreds of armed androids. Mega Man must run, jump, climb and blast his way past there cybernetic creations to the inner sanctum of the robot master. Once Mega Man find the entrance, he'll head inside to go head-to-head with the robotic rebel. Letting loose with his entire arsenal of weapons, Mega Man must bombard the robot master to see which weapon does the most damage. Once he finds the right one, he'll keep on blastin' until the robot is nothing but molten metal and victory will be his!

A LITTLE CYBERNETIC SUPPORT
Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase will teleport down with a power-up item from time to time, but for this mission Mega Man needs a little more help.

HELPFUL ADVISE FROM DR. LIGHT
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 the weapon.
3. It is not necessary to collect the four BEAT circuit plates to defeat Dr. Wily, but it sure helps!
4. Save your P Chips! Some of Dr. Light's new technology is very expensive.
5. Charge up the Mega Buster as you run, so it is ready when you need it.

USING YOUR PASSWORD
As you reduce Dr. Wily's crafty creations into scrap metal, Mega Man may be rewarded with a secret password. Copy each letter and its location in the password grid on a separate piece of paper. When you finish writing down you password, place it in a safe place. The next time you play Mega Man IV, 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 the first letter. Press the B button to select the correct letter or blank and then press the A button.
3. Once you have finished placing each of the letters in its correct location, press the START button. If the password is correct, the game will return you to the stage you received the password.
