Notes:

  • Mega Buster: the first digit is the damage inflicted by a normal shot, the last digit is the damage inflicted by fully-charged buster.
  • Tornado Hold: the first digit is the damage inflicted by the fan, the last digit is the damage inflicted by the tornado.
  • Rush Bike: not recommended for boss battles; it inflicts 1 damage only against most bosses.
  • Rush Bomber: it inflicts 2 damages against most bosses; it's even less effective against Astro Man and the bosses in Wily Fortress (except for Atetemino).
