Mega Man 2/Walkthrough

The first part of the game can be beaten in any order, but the sequence shown below is recommended because as every Robot Master is weak to the previous Master's main weapon, and the first entry is generally the easiest for most players. The Wily Fortress is the final stage after beating all eight Robot Masters, and is comprised of five stages. If you're playing the NES version, you may choose either Normal difficulty (enemies take an average amount of damage to destroy) or Difficult (enemies take twice the amount of damage to destroy). For Mega Man Anniversary Collection players, select New Game and then Mega Man 2, where you'll then have to select Normal or Difficult mode. After beating each Robot Master you are given a password to load at that point in time when you want to (or the game will auto-save in the Anniversary Collection).
