Released by Capcom for the NES in 1992, Mega Man 5 is a classic side-scrolling action platformer where the Blue Bomber battles eight rogue Robot Masters to rescue Dr. Light and uncover the truth behind Proto Man’s apparent betrayal.

How to Play

Guide Mega Man through the stage select screen, battle through eight Robot Master stages, acquire their special weapons, and infiltrate Dr. Wily’s fortress. Use the charged Mega Buster for high-damage shots and slide under low obstacles to evade enemy attacks.

Tips

Collect the eight letter plates hidden across each stage (spelling M-E-G-A-M-A-N-V) to unlock Beat, the automated bird companion who homes in on enemies and bosses.
Pre-charge your Mega Buster before entering boss doors or screen transitions to unleash a full-power charge shot the instant combat begins.
Save your M-Tank (Mystery Tank) for the late Wily Castle stages; unlike standard E-Tanks, an M-Tank instantly restores both Mega Man’s health and all weapon energy to full.
