How it plays
How does Mega Man 6 play?
The game uses a two-dimensional side view. Mega Man selects Robot Master stages from a menu, reaches each boss, and gains that boss's weapon after victory.
Stages contain platforms, hazards, enemies, secret paths, and optional collectibles. Mega Man can walk, jump, slide, shoot, and charge his weapon. Rush Power and Rush Jet are combined into the Power and Jet Adapters, which change movement and attack abilities. Defeating bosses creates weapon weaknesses that can make later encounters easier.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Mega Man 6?
Learn each stage's hazards before rushing forward, especially in rooms with disappearing platforms or conveyor belts.
Use Robot Master weaknesses to shorten boss fights, and save the Power Adapter for situations where its heavy attack or charged movement is useful. Search suspicious walls and alternate routes for energy, weapon capsules, and hidden items.
