How it plays

How does Mega Man 64 play?

The game uses a third-person perspective. Mega Man explores Kattelox Island, talks with residents, accepts story objectives, and enters ruins or other combat areas to recover refractors and advance the investigation.

Combat centers on the Mega Buster, a lock-on target, jumping, and movement around enemies. Special weapons can be found or purchased and upgraded with parts. Progress is divided between town investigations, story events, ruin stages, boss encounters, and equipment improvements.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Mega Man 64?

Explore each ruin carefully and look for side paths, treasure chests, and refractor deposits before returning to town. Selling or collecting materials can help fund weapon upgrades and support items.

Upgrade the Mega Buster's power, range, and energy when possible, but keep money for essential special-weapon parts. Lock on while moving around bosses, avoid standing directly in front of attacks, and use the environment for cover when available.

Talk to residents after major story events. Some optional errands and items become available only after the town changes or after a new ruin is opened.
