Prologue of Rockman Mega World
Just how many times in the past has Dr. Wily had to discard his plans upon finding himself defeated before Rockman? Could his heart have possibly changed by now?...
This time, Dr. Wily uses a time machine he developed himself to travel to the past, reviving his robots who begin causing havoc once again!
The peaceful period of history up to this point has been altered! In order for Rockman to stop Dr. Wily's plan, he steps into another time machine hurriedly developed by Dr. Light and sets off to the past. As a result, will Rockman be able to hold back Dr. Wily's plot? Just what are these three new robot models that Dr. Wily developed up to?

* Make use of your items
On difficult stages, use your weapons and items appropriately to smooth the progress!
* Implement your tactics according to conditions
When your remaining life energy is low, it may be good to fight weak enemies to regain health...
* Watch out while jumping!
Landing while being negligent of your surroundings can have you taken out by enemy fire in an instant!
* Prepare for the enemies' attack.
By carefully observing the enemies' attacks, you can instantly navigate around them! If you're able to predict enemy fire, counter attacks are simple!
* Bosses always have a weapon weakness.
Searching for your opponents' weakness is the quickest way to clearing a course. It may be good to consider the characteristics of the enemy weapon, such as flames being weak against water...
* Watch your remaining weapon energy
If you can't use your weapons while fighting a boss, tough luck for you!
* Energy cans are quite special!
Since there's a limited amount of energy cans, how you use them is of utmost importance!
Please make those into Japanese text too? Good work!
