Mega Man 2/Quick Man

Stage
Description: Quick Man's stage is probably the hardest level in the entire game. Why? Well, there are lasers in the stage that kill you in one hit. His stage is set in some kind of industrial base. Quick Man's stage is pretty short, but is pretty difficult. The lasers are a real challenge, and can be difficult for new players. There is one easy method, however, of getting past those lasers. The stage doesn't feature any pits, but it does have the Sniper Armor enemy. Besides the lasers, Quick Man's stage is rather easy.

Walkthrough: Use Item-3 to grab the extra life on the left because you'll probably need it. Drop down into the pit. Keep going to the left, avoiding the Schworms, and drop down into the next pit. Go to the right and hug the left wall (as in staying very close to) as you drop down. Drop down into the next pit as fast as possible, avoiding the lasers. Drop down into the next pit and keep to the right, dodging the lasers as you go. Your rewards for staying on the right path is an E-Tank, extra life, and some weapon energy. Now go down into the next pit. Keep going to the right and you'll encounter some enemies that throw fireballs. Destroy them, and the stage will turn dark. Don't worry though; all you have to do is keep moving to the right. When you reach the end of the passage, you'll have to jump because there is a platform in your way. Keep jumping until you reach a pit, and hug the left wall as best you can.

Now here comes the real challenge. This is the part of the stage where lasers come at all directions. You have two choices: you can use the Time Stopper to avoid all of the lasers, or just keep dodging them as best you can. If you use the Time Stopper, however, you may not be able to use it for Quick Man, as it is his weakness. When you use the Time Stopper, all you have to do is just keep dropping into pits as fast as possible, picking up weapon energy for the Time Stopper along the way. This is the easy method. Ok, if you decided to go the hard way, as soon as you drop down into the room, jump on the middle platform and quickly drop down into the next room. Keep going to the right, and drop down immediately into the next room. Walk to the left as fast as you can and into the next room. Just keep going to the right, and then walk to left immediately. Hug to the left as you drop down and you'll dodge these lasers easily. Now drop down to the right, then left, and hug to the right as you drop down. When you land, go to left, and you're done!

As soon as you land however, a Sniper Armor greets you, so dispose of him quickly. Keep going to the right, and destroy the next Sniper Armor. After you do, enter the chamber and get ready to fight Quick Man!

Robot Master
Strategy: Quick Man moves around the room very quickly, and there is a limited space. Now, if you kept the Time Stopper, just shoot it, and it will take half of Quick Man's health away for you! After it depletes, I recommend using the Air Shooter or Crash Bombs to finish Quick Man off. Quick Man will jump around the stage, randomly firing his boomerangs, much like Crash Man did. He will occasionally walk around the room, so use this time to fire at him. When he's destroyed, you'll get his weapon, the Quick Boomerang!
