'''Mega Man''' is a platform action game released by [[Capcom]] in [[1987]]. It was the first in the [[Mega Man]] series and has an unpolished feel not present in the other games.

'''Story/Plot''':


[[Image:Mega Man NES title screen.png|right]]Brilliant scientist [[Dr. Wright]] (Dr. Light) develops six human-like robots with unique abilities to perform specific everyday duties. Dr. Wright, along with his assitant [[Dr. Wily]], develop their very first near-human robot named Rock. The other six robots were programmed to perform prescribed rituals:
When you start up the game, you will have to press {{nes|Start}} to begin. You will then reach the Robot Master selection screen. You can switch between Robot Masters by pressing {{nes|Left|Dpad}} or {{nes|Right|Dpad}}. To select a stage, press {{nes|A}} or {{nes|Start}}.


'''Cutman''': Designed to function as a lumberjack. Powerful saw-toothed scissor-like instrument protrudes from head, capable of gnawing through giant forest timbers.
[[File:Mega Man Robot Masters Selection.png|thumb|''Mega Man'' stage select]]


'''Gutsman''': A bulldozing character capable of lifting and transporting huge boulders.
Over the course of the game, Mega Man will fight the six Robot Masters in their own habitat, in an order of his choosing. After this, he can attack Dr. Wily, who has a four-part stage.


'''Iceman''': Impervious to chilling sub-zero temperatures, capable of human-like performances under extreme climatic conditions.
The first six stages (Robot Masters) can be attacked in any order:
{|
|  
| [[Mega Man/Cut Man|Cut Man]]
|  
| [[Mega Man/Guts Man|Guts Man]]
|  
|-
| [[Mega Man/Elec Man|Elec Man]]
|  
|  
|  
| [[Mega Man/Ice Man|Ice Man]]
|-
|  
| [[Mega Man/Fire Man|Fire Man]]
|  
| [[Mega Man/Bomb Man|Bomb Man]]
|  
|}


'''Bombman''': A real "blaster" as a heavy duty laborer who uses intensely powerful explosions to clear lands for Dr. Wright's construction projects.
The trick to choosing which order to tackle them in is understanding that every Robot Master has a particular weakness to another Robot Master's weapon. If you are playing the game for the first time and do not wish to have this strategy spoiled for you, the walkthrough will not reveal a Robot Master's weakness unless you choose to view it. The first time you play, you will not have any idea which robot to start with, and which robot to visit next. The best strategy is to try every weapon available to you when you arrive at the fight with a boss, and make note of the weapons which do the most damage to that boss. Then try playing the game again with the knowledge you've acquired until you determine the most effective order to take on each stage. The [[Mega Man/Table of Contents|Table of Contents]] lists the robots in alphabetical order rather than a suggested order for fighting them.


'''Fireman''': Melts and molds metals with flame throwing torch from atop his head.
After defeating the first six Robot Masters, you can select to attack Dr. Wily. Dr. Wily's stage has four parts. You do NOT get weapon energy recharges after beating one of the following stages.


'''Elecman''': Dr. Wrights electrifying creation. Planned for conducting electrical operations, even supervising nuclear power plants.
# '''Dr. Wily Part 1''' - The front gates to Wily's castle are guarded by Big Eyes (large, jumping enemies) and the flying platforms from Iceman's stage. Later on you need the Magnet Beam to progress. At the end is Yellow Devil, who disassembles himself into chunks that fly at Mega Man.
# '''Dr. Wily Part 2''' - The roof of Wily's castle, where lots of precarious platform jumping takes place. Cutman and Elecman also make a repeat appearance. At the end is the Clone Machine, which creates a Copy Robot that can use any of Mega Man's weapons.
# '''Dr. Wily Part 3''' - The plumbing of Wily's castle, this is a very short level. Near the end Mega Man gets flushed down a long pipe under intense water pressure. After all that is CWU-01P, a robot encased in a large bubble that rotates around the room and is difficult to dodge. The Super Arm works well on them, but you have only four blocks, and seven incarnations of CWU-01P to dispatch.
# '''Dr. Wily Part 4''' - The depths of Wily's castle. This is another short level, but a lot takes place here. You have to fight Bombman, Fireman, Iceman, and Gutsman, one after the other. Then you have to defeat two forms of the Wily Machine. Don't miss the Yashichi, which refills all weapon and player energy to maximum before the quadruple-Robot Master steel-cage matchup.


But, with the exception of Rock, all of Dr. Wrights robots were re-programmed by Dr. Wrights assitant, Dr. Wily, who turned disloyal. Dr. Wily is now able to control the world and it's resources completely unless something is done.
{{spoiler|title=Boss order and weaknesses|
* Ice Man: weak to Elec Man's weapon, Thunder Beam. Easy to beat with the arm cannon.
* Fire Man: weak to Ice Man's weapon, Ice Slasher.
* Bomb Man: weak to Fire Man's weapon, Fire Storm.
* Guts Man: weak to Bomb Man's weapon, Hyper Bomb.
* Cut Man: weak to Guts Man's weapon, Super Arm. Slightly weak to Fire Man's weapon.
* Elec Man: weak to Cut Man's weapon, Rolling Cutter.
* Yellow Devil (sludge/rock robot): weak to Thunder Beam (7 hits), the Rolling Cutter, Fire Storm, and even the regular Mega Buster (14 hits).
* Mega Clone: Fire Storm or Thunder Beam.
* CWU-01P (bubble robots): Mega Buster on the first three, then Super Arm to defeat the last four, each with one hit.
* Dr. Wily: Fire Storm for phase 1 and Rolling Cutter or Thunder Beam for phase 2.
