Credits and Disclaimer ================================================================= [ I. ] INTRODUCTION ================================================================= Hi! This is the unofficial Megaman: The Power Battle (TPB) strategy guide. Hopefully this guide will help you while you play the game. I would like to note that Megaman: TPB is a fighting style game (like Street Fighter II) and not a side scroller like the rest of the games in the Mega Man series. This game features many bosses from the original 7 games. The game's music comes from the original 7 games but was amplified to appeal to most players (I personally prefer the music from this game better then the originals). Do keep in mind when reading this guide that this was my first attempt at a guide and there may be some errors in it. ================================================================= [ II. ] STORY ================================================================= There is pretty much no story behind this game. Feel free to make your own and if it is good i might add it here. ================================================================= [ III. ] GAMEPLAY AND BUTTONS ================================================================= Move <-, -> or \/ by using the joystick on the arcade console ( <- = Left, -> = Right, and \/ = Down) Button 1: Fire Shot - Button 2: Jump - Button 3: Select Weapon ================================================================= [ IV. ] MOVES AND ABILITIES ================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ i. ] Rush Attacks ----------------------------------------------------------------- Push the joystick down and hold while pressing Jump _______________________________________________________________ [ - Megaman will slide ] [ - Proto Man will dash forward protecting himself with his ] [ sheild ] [ - Bass will air-dash ] ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ ii. ] Double Jumps ----------------------------------------------------------------- While leaning against a wall jump on the wall and press the jump button again ================================================================= [ V. ] BOSSES AND WEAKNESSES ================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ i. ] Megaman 1-2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________ | BOSS | WEAPON OBTAINED | WEAKNESS | |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | Cut Man | Rolling Cutter | Leaf Sheild | | Guts Man | Super Arm | Crash Bomb | | Crash Man | Crash Bomb | Rolling Cutter | | Heat Man | Atomic Fire | Ice Slasher | | Ice Man | Ice Slasher | Super Arm | | Wood Man | Leaf Sheild | Atomic Fire | | Rock Monster | N/A | Super Arm | | Dr. Wily | N/A | Rolling Cutter | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ ii. ] Megaman 3-6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________ | BOSS | WEAPON OBTAINED | WEAKNESS | |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | Gemini Man | Gemini Laser | Magnet Missile | | Magnet Man | Magnet Missile | Dust Crasher | | Napalm Man | Napalm Bomb | Gemini Laser | | Dust Man | Dust Crasher | Plant Barrier | | Gyro Man | Gyro Attack | Napalm Bomb | | Plant Man | Plant Barrier | Gyro Attack | | Rock Monster | N/A | Gyro Attack | | Dr. Wily | N/A | Dust Crasher | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ iii. ] Megaman 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________ | BOSS | WEAPON OBTAINED | WEAKNESS | |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | Shade Man | Crash Noise | Slash Claw | | Freeze Man | Freeze Cracker | Junk Sheild | | Slash Man | Slash Claw | Freeze Cracker | | Turbo Man | Burning Wheel | Crash Noise | | Cloud Man | Thunder Strike | Burning Wheel | | Junk Man | Junk Sheild | Thunder Strike | | Pumpkin Robot | N/A | Thunder Strike | | Dr. Wily | N/A | Slash Claw | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ NOTE: All weapons are refilled after every robot master except Dr. Wily, when he morphs into his three forms. ================================================================= [ VI. ] STRATIGIES AND GAMEPLAY TIPS ================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ i. ] 2-Player Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Don't have two players fire at a robot master at the same time. Once a robot master has been hit it becomes invincible for about half-a-second. Have one player shoot at the robot master and have the other charge up, and vice-versa. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ ii. ] Megaman 1+2 Fighting Order ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Here is the order which I took: Heat Man --> Wood Man --> Cut Man --> Crash Man --> Guts Man --> Ice Man. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ iii. ] Megaman 3-6 Fighting Order ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Here is the order which I took: Gyro Man --> Plant Man --> Dust Man --> Magnet Man --> Gemini Man --> Napalm Man. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ iv. ] Megaman 7 Fighting Order ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Here is the order which I took: Slash Man --> Shade Man --> Turbo Man --> Cloud Man --> Junk Man --> Freeze Man. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ v. ] Versus Dr. Wily ----------------------------------------------------------------- - While the doc is in his second form always stay under him to dodge his attacks, but be careful because sometimes he swoops down from above you in order to hit you. ================================================================= [ VII. ] *EXTREME SPOILER* ENDINGS *EXTREME SPOILER* ================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ i. ] Mega Man ----------------------------------------------------------------- [Roll and Mega Man enters Dr. Light's lab] Roll: Welcome back Megaman. Glad to see you made it. Mega Man: Yeah. But Dr. Wily got away again. [Dr Light enters] Dr Light: I'm glad to see you came back in one piece. Mega Man: Even so, if things don't change, the battle against Dr. Wily will never end. Dr Light: It's just like but, this time we learned what robots really need. [Screen focuses on Auto] Auto: Yeah, a hero like me, right? [Screen changes back] Dr Light: Well... Not quite. Mega Man: What exactly do we robots need? Dr Light: Like humans, the robot has to determine what is right and what is wrong by itself. Robots are not supposed to hurt humans. We need to research more on A.I. program. Mega Man: When will there be world peace? Dr Light: That will be up to us. Mega Man: Okay, I'll fight for everyone's future. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ ii. ] Proto Man ----------------------------------------------------------------- Protoman... Who is he? Protoman, Dr. Light's first ever built robot just before completion, he ran away and vanished. He appears before Megaman from time to time and mysteriously disappears. Is he friend or foe? Where is he off to? Nobody knows. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ iii. ] Bass ----------------------------------------------------------------- [Standing on a cliff with Wily's lab burning in the background] Wily: Noooo...! My laboratory! Bass, what are you doing!? Bass: Now you know that I am the strongest. There's no need for you to make any more junk robots. Wily: The strongest huh? You've been beaten by Megaman before. [Screen Switches] Bass: I underestimated him that time. But I will conquer him this time! Wily: Yeah right. You can battle with Megaman all you want. The robot that I'm making right now will blow the both of you away. Bass: Ha! All you make is junk. Do what you want. Wily: Wait. Wait Bass. Don't leave me here! ================================================================= [ VIII.] CREDITS AND DISCLAIMER ================================================================= Megaman: TPB, Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, Guts Man, Dr. Wily, Cut Man, Crash Man, Heat Man, Ice Man, Wood Man, Rock Monster, Gemini Man, Magnet Man, Napalm Man, Dust Man, Gyro Man, Plant Man, Shade Man, Freeze Man, Slash Man, Turbo Man, Cloud Man, Junk Man, Pumpkin Robot, Dr. Light, Auto, and Street Fighter II are all copyrights of Capcom.
