Heh. I managed to do this on the 2nd try. I didn’t cheat, but I’ll admit I had a little help strategizing. I went online and wrote down which boss is weak to which weapon. Got the speed award on Splash Woman for killing her in under 10 seconds with the bees 
.
Now the final boss . . . whew. Pollux Oil, do I have any chance without e-tanks?
I had to use 2 when I fought him. There are three forms to the last boss. The first form is pretty easy to get through without using an E-Tank but the other two were difficult for me. The frustration factor comes from the fact that if you lose all your lives, you have to beat all eight Robot Masters again before getting to the last boss. 
I reset to get more e-tanks. Am I right that you can only get 1 mystery tank, 1 1/2 damage power-up, 1 spike guard, etc? If I could stock up on those I could probably blaze through this thing. As it is I’m just hoping I can make it to the 8 robot masters with a few e-tanks intact.
I fought the final boss ~6 or 8 times but I kept screwing up the timing when trying to shoot the eggs back at him. I never even got his first form below half health.
I just blaaaaaazed through the Wily stages without even slowing down. Had to use a few e-tanks on the bosses, though, which I think was a mistake. I have 3 e-tanks and a mystery tank left. I’m going to try to beat all the robot masters and get some practice with the final boss before using them.
I put away the 8 Robot Masters (which was tough seeing as how none of them have “obvious” weaknesses and I couldn’t remember which special weapon went with which boss) and then Wily pounded me flat.
Is the Half Damage item really worth the time it takes to get 100 screws?
I’ll spoiler the robot master weaknesses in case you don’t want them. I would personally love to beat the game using only the M-Buster but it’s just too damn hard for right now. I’ll work on it later. Use the weapon of the robot master above the one you’re fighting:
Splash (use Hornets)
Concrete
Galaxy
Jewel
Plug
Tornado
Magma
HornetThe half damage rules. To get 100 screws just turn on the jewel shield in the right place. Last night I turned on the jewel shield at the first pipe in Plug Man’s stage and then flipped the tv over and watched Iron Man. When I flipped back I had 999 screws.
I got the game today a few hours ago, and I’m at the Wily Stages now.
I did Plug Man first, which was… very hard. Then I did Jewel Man, who was a cinch. Then Hornet --> Tornado --> Galaxy (only died once… perhaps the only easy stoage) --> Concrete --> Splash --> Magma.
I love the bee weapon. Definitely my favorite.
So… now I’m at these 3 horizontal magma-pipes… and I don’t know how to get past them. There doesn’t seem to ever be a time where there is a break… orz.
Help is Spoiler’d just in case:
You can do one of two things. First, the Concrete Shot freezes the lava beams for a little bit so if you time it right you can use the beams as steps up to the ladders. OR, what I do is I immediately Rush Coil up to the left-most ladder, then drop down from the above screen onto the far left and Rush Jet across to the correct ladder.
OK, got past it thanks to my dad’s analysis of the situation. Go Team Auto!
You got to the lava tubes in a day and then had trouble with them? Shit . . . those were cake compared to some of the stuff you had to do to get there. I think I passed them on the second try. I stood on the platform in Wily1 longer just thinking. Finally something told me to try the tornado - only the 2nd thing I tried, the first being the obvious R. Coil.
Now I’m stuck on the green-yellow blob monster… although I saw somebody’s tip to use the Black Hole so I’m sure I’ll have no problem tomorrow.
I could have sworn I tried using that on it too and that nothing happened.
That thing is a pain in the ass. Just keep playing it until you learn the pattern. You don’t have to jump every time. It helps to stand to one side instead of the middle, for most of the pattern. Shoot the gravity bomb before the eye comes out and activate it in front of the blob. The eye will hit it on its way out and take some good damage. I think it only takes 4 or 5 passes to kill it.
OK, with the help of the half damage I was finally able to take down Wily.
I have no idea how anyone could complete the “beat the game without being hit” Challenge. It seems impossible.
Can’t download the blasted thing. Damn nintendo and their region segregation policies.
:mad:
I just turned on the game to play for a couple minutes and had a great run through the robot masters. Annihilated all of them while barely taking any hits. Planned on practicing on Wily a lot more but I beat the first incarnation for the first time so I decided to turn on my 1/2 damage powerup and dig in. Only had to use one e-tank to take him out.
The end credits were pretty cool. Loved the “paintings” of what all the robot masters went on to do. Especially Plug Man out shopping with Rush. Am I right thought that it basically just starts you over from scratch? All my weapons are gone now and the 8 stages are restored.
So I must be the first of Capcom’s bitches on this board. I downloaded the Proto-Man and Endless Mode content that was made available today.
Endless Mode is AWESOME. The music is great and some of the sections are built to resemble old stages from other Mega Man games. One part I swore was ripped directly from one of the Wily Stages in Mega Man 2.
Proto-Man is pretty fun. It’s like a built in hard mode. Yeah, you get charged shots and the slide and a shield to deflect shots, but you take twice the amount of damage and you get knocked back twice as far. You have to be extremely careful. Oh, and you can’t go to the shop with Proto-Man, so no E-Tanks or 1/2 Damage. I beat Galaxy Man tonight but I can tell I’m into more frustration with this mode.
Bring it on, I say! 
There is more replayability in the $15 I spent on this game than on some of the other games I spent $50 on.
I’ll definitely be grabbing Proto Man…
Uhhg, do all the add-ons center around making them game harder? I thought I already suffered through the hard part. I want things that make it easier. Unlimited ammo. Raise the limits of what you can buy. Slide. Charged shots. Etc!
I know! I may had sprung for Proto Man if he was as ‘bad-ass’ as he seemed in the screen shots I’ve seen with him taking on MM’s role. I came to this thread about to ask if Proto could be played through an already saved game, hoping to get as much help as possible with Wily. Now you’re telling me he makes the game HARDER!?
I’m kind of glad though. I’m the type of guy that wants to pay for a game, flat-out. I don’t have the budget to get caught-up with micro transaction unless there’s a specific relevance for it in the game, (Some MMORPG’s I guess, but I don’t play them so I don’t know what’s offered and how).
$15 isn’t a bad deal imo, I just don’t like the practice. When you’re spending just $1, I can just see it could all eventually add up to if I’m not careful
I got to the Wily stage where you’re floating up… mastered that; until I got to the very top and that one ‘jerk-of-a-robot’ grabbed me and dragged me in the spikes. The game sucker punched me again. Any tips for that stage if I ever get there again? I had a few lives left, but used too many E’s and I DO occasionally enjoy playing OTHER Wii games too, so… that’s where I am.
Who’s beaten it?
Stay far to the left on screens 2 and 3. Not quite all the way to the left, but pretty far over there - you’ll get it. When you rise up on screen 4, start heading right towards the M-Tank. The jerk of a robot will drop down prematurely and miss you. When you get to the far right, head left towards the ladder and it’s smooth-sailin’. Took me ~6 tries to figure that out, but I must’ve played it at least 10 more times after that and never died again. Part of the fun of these games for me is mastering the patterns.
