*'''Arm Cannon''' - Your regular weapon, simply press B to fire. You can have three shots on the screen at a time.  
*'''Arm Cannon''' - Your regular weapon, simply press B to fire. You can have three shots on the screen at a time.  
*'''Magnet Missile''' - Magnet-shaped projectiles that fly quickly and curve to hit a target. Very useful against hard-to-hit enemies that may try to attack you from above.
 
*'''Hard Knuckle''' - Slow-moving fist-shaped projectile. Difficult to use due to its initial slow speed and rate of acceleration, but very powerful. Its vertical position can be adjusted slightly by pressing and holding either {{nes|Up|Dpad}} or {{nes|Down|Dpad}} after firing. Can destroy walls that the arm cannon can't.
 
*'''Top Spin''' - Mega Man spins like a wild man, damaging whatever he touches, and sometimes himself. Due to its unpredictability and general uselessness, I don't recommend using this weapon except for in certain circumstances.

*'''Shadow Blade''' - A short-ranged throwing star that can be somewhat aimed. The aiming makes it useful, but it lacks range. Still, it's useful in many situations.
! Robot master !! Weapon !! Trajectory !! Effect !! Buttons !! Effective
*'''Spark Shock''' - A fast-moving spark is fired forward. Pretty powerful, too. There are a number of situations where this will be useful.
|-
*'''Search Snake''' - Snakes will crawl along the floor, damaging the first target they hit. Very useful for those hard-to-hit ground-based foes who may lurk below the range of your Arm Cannon.

*'''Gemini Laser''' - A blue laser will be fired, which will bounce off walls until it hits a targer, or until it eventually fades away. This is a powerful weapon, but only one can be on the screen at a time. For best results, use at close range, and don't miss the first shot.
|-
*'''Needle Cannon''' - Mega Man can rapid fire needle-shaped projectiles. If there's an enemy weak against rapid-firing, this will be your weapon of choice!
