About This Game
Unlike previous GB titles, this entry features an original storyline where Mega Man must defeat both Dr. Wily and a new rival named Gamma. Includes 8 Robot Master stages followed by 4 Wily Fortress stages with remixed level designs.
The Rush Adapter system merges Rush Coil, Rush Jet, and Rush Marine into three transformation modes: Power (strength boost), Jet (flight), and Marine (underwater mobility). This mechanic would later inspire the Armor System in Mega Man X.
Notable for its technical achievements on Game Boy - featuring larger sprites, smoother scrolling, and more complex enemy patterns than previous portable Mega Man games. The soundtrack includes impressive arrangements of NES themes.
