First things first. If I catch you ripping something off of this, I'll get you in
trouble or something. Look, don't rip off, because it's not right. You're
stealing other work that people have put hard work into. Don't do it!
That being said, I'm glad to see someone is viewing my FAQ. I am Dragonlord. Don't
get me confused with some other person named Dragonlord on GameFAQs. If the e-mail
isn't dragonlord@adlo.de or dragon1@mtrap.org, it's not me. The reason I say this
is because a friend once told me that someone other than myself named Dragonlord
submitted something to GameFAQs. Don't get me mixed up with the other person and
all is well.
So, I see you've come for help on the hit NES game Mega Man 5. That's what I'm
here for! This will be the second FAQ I have written, my first being a Mega Man
7 FAQ. You can always give me feedback on it, all i ask is that you use constructive
criticism, because flames suck.

| [B] | About this FAQ |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this FAQ, I have tried to cover everything in Mega Man 5. It was quite
surprising to see that no one had already written an FAQ or Walkthrough for Mega
Man 5 at GameFAQs. After all, it's no worse (not to say that the Mega Man games
aren't any good) than the other Mega Man games.

| [C] | Mega Man 5 |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mega Man 5 is for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Quite like any other Mega
Man game, there are eight enemies, powerups, and Dr. Wily. Mega Man 5
introduces Beat, who also appears as early as Mega Man 4 for Game Boy, but not
MM4 on NES. Mega Man 5 also features Rush, Mega Man's helpful red robotic dog.
Mega Man 5 is the first and only part of the series to have TWO fortresses after
defeating the eight robot masters. First you have to go through Proto Man's
fortress and after completing that fortress, you obviously have to go through
Dr. Wily's.
=___________________________________________________________________________________=
| [2] | Story |
=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=
The story of Mega Man 5 is basically the same as every other Mega Man game.
Dr. Wily escapes or builds eight robots to wreck havoc on the city, and Mega Man
must do something to stop them.
In the year 20XX AD, an army of vicious robots was unleashed on the world,
causing them to destroy and consume everything in sight.
And Behind this destruction is...
PROTOMAN?!
Protoman kidnapped Dr. Light, creator of Mega Man, and brought him to his
fortress. Mega Man must now destroy the eight robot masters (as usual) and rescue
Dr. Light!
=___________________________________________________________________________________=
| [3] | Controls |
=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=
The controls in Mega Man 5 are simple and remain the same throughout the entire
game. You will not have any trouble controlling Mega Man.
** Buttons without descriptions are apparently of no use.
** Control not exactly as shown! ^_^

In every part of the Mega Man series, there's a special order in which you
should kill the robot masters so that it's easier. It's important that you try
to follow it so that it'll be easier for you.

| [5] | Damage Chart |
=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯=
The damage chart shows what weapon damages which robot and how much it damages
the robot by. It can be a useful guide for times you are out of the primary
needed weapon against the robot. You can refer to it to find out what other
weapons work good against the enemy.
* Thanks to Colin Moriarty for giving me permission to make a damage chart
in my FAQ. The idea was from his MM1 & MM2 FAQS that can be found on GameFAQs.

| Low gravity, falling meteorites, and spike-lined walls. It doesn't get any |
| more annoying than this. Be careful not to jump too high when the ceiling |
| is covered in spikes. Some platforms are better to 'fall' off of rather than |
| actually jumping to the adjacent one. |

| Perhaps I was wrong; this is far more annoying than Star Man's level. There |
| are 'gravity changers' placed in set locations of the stage that, when walked|
| through, reverse the gravity. There are spikes and holes on the ceilings that|
| require quick reflexes to avoid. |

| Gyro Man's stage is not too bad, overall. The only part that could get |
| challenging is the section with the falling blocks. To get the "A", stand on |
| the block above it. As soon as it begins to fall and the "A" disappears, jump|
| to the block next to it and continue. It's a lot harder than it sounds. |

| Crystal Man's stage is probably one of the easiest in Mega Man 5. The |
| falling crystals can be moderately annoying but the rest of the level is |
| simple. The "V" is definitely difficult to get. What you have to do is hug |
| the left wall before the screen with the "V". This can be difficult because |
| of the spikes below, so wait until you pass the last spike and THEN hold left|
| onto the next screen and you should be able to pick it up. |

| Napalm Man himself is easy to defeat. Unfortunately, his level is not. It's |
| loaded with tons of annoying traps and robots of all sorts. The wall where |
| there's an E-Tank supposedly trapped in is really just false. Jump up and |
| press left towards it. Walk in, jump again, and continue walking to grab it. |

| |
| Stone man is definitely the easiest robot master in the game. You may have |
| a problem finding the "G" on this level. Look at the map. When you come to |
| the room before the item, the block at the lower-right hand side of the |
| screen is breakable. Destroy it and slide underneath. |

| Target: GRAVITY MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Star Crash Difficulty: 2.5 |
| |
| Gravity Man, while being very annoying, is easy to kill if you have Star Crash. |
| He has a basic attack which is the equivalent of the Mega Buster. Other than |
| using it, he just rotates the gravity. What you have to do is use star crash |
| and stay almost aligned with him on the opposite wall. When he rotates gravity |
| the Star Crash will hit him, taking out 4 bars. |

| Target: WAVE MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Charge Kick Difficulty: 2.8 |
| |
| Once you get the hang of Wave Man's attacks, you'll have no problem defeating |
| him. He comes equipped with two attacks, his own form of Water Wave and an |
| arrow gun or something of that sort. Half the time the Water Wave won't even |
| pop up where you are standing, so that's not to worry about. When he shoots an |
| arrow at you, jump over it and quickly slide under him. Take any available |
| chance to hit him with Charge Kick. |

| Target: STONE MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Napalm Bomb Difficulty: 1.2 |
| |
| Excuse me while I stop laughing from how easy Stone Man is. ^_^ He has a total |
| of one attack, which will seldom hit you. Other than this attack, all he does |
| is hop around the screen, hoping to crush Mega Man under him. Stand beside where|
| you think he's going to land and use Napalm Bomb to reduce this pile of stones |
| to dust. |

| Target: GYRO MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Gravity Hold Difficulty: 1.6 |
| |
| Gyro Man. You MUST have a full bar of Gravity Hold, as you'll leave his stage |
| with an empty one. He has an arsenal of two attacks. The first being when he |
| just whips a Gyro blade at you. Just jump over that. The second being when he |
| flies into the air, shoots down a Gyro blade at you and then comes crashing |
| down on Mega Man. Jump over the blade and quickly slide to avoid being hit. Use |
| Gravity Hold whenever you wish , as it hits him no matter what. |

| Target: STAR MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Water Wave Difficulty: 2.1 |
| |
| Star Man has no real attacks. He basically keeps using Star Crash and throws it |
| at you, thereafter jumping towards you. His pattern of attacks are: 1) Jump at |
| Mega Man with Star Crash. 2) Fire Star Crash at Mega Man. Repeat. When he jumps |
| at you, just slide underneath or if the jump is close, jump over. The gravity |
| is low in this room and you can jump real high. Whenever he's standing on the |
| ground, make haste to use Water Wave. |

| Target: CHARGE MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Protect Stone Difficulty: 3 |
| |
| There's a reason they call him Charge Man. He has two attacks, all of which he |
| follows in the same order continuously. First, he'll walk towards you. Jump over|
| him and walk to the other side of the screen. He'll then make a noise and shoot |
| out fireballs. These can easily be avoided by walking away from them once you |
| see them falling. Finally, he'll charge at you. Just jump over him. After he's |
| charged at you is a perfect chance to use Protect Stone to hit him, so take |
| advantage. |

| Target: NAPALM MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Crystal Eye Difficulty: 3.4 |
| |
| I must admit, Napalm Man will give you a little bit of trouble, but nothing to |
| wet your pants over. He has two attacks and they're quite difficult to avoid. |
| He mainly shoots out three missiles, which can be hopped over and Crystal Eye |
| can be shot in between. The problem is that as he gets closer and closer to you |
| it becomes more and more difficult to avoid the missiles. You have to jump over |
| him and get to the other side. His second attack is a Napalm Bomb shot into the |
| air diagonally. He usually jumps at Mega Man after this, so slide under him. |

| Target: CRYSTAL MAN |
| Suggested Weapon: Gyro Attack Difficulty: 2.8 |
| |
| .. And finally, Crystal Man. He is programmed with two attacks, one which you |
| can disregard since it's so easy to avoid. Crystal Man will use one really |
| unavoidable attack. When he shoots four mini-Crystal Eye balls out of his chest.|
| These will bounce around the room and it's inevitable that you'll be hit. The |
| best time to hit Crystal Man is when he's jumping about and shooting single |
| plasma shots. These are easy to avoid and when he hits the ground, fire away! |

| Target: Track-Bot Found on: Level 1 |
| Suggested Weapon: Water Wave Difficulty: 1 |
| |
| I really think that Capcom got lazy when programming bosses. This thing is |
| easy as hell. It uses one attack, a plasma burst. When it shoots this out, jump |
| over it and fire away with Water Wave. Each time the robot is hit, it will |
| shoot out another plasma burst and slowly become faster. Do your best to avoid |
| the shots and crush this excuse for an enemy. ^_^ |

| Target: Shield-Bot Found on: Level 2 |
| Suggested Weapon: Crystal Eye Difficulty: 1.2 |
| |
| Both Crystal Eye and Napalm Bomb work equally as well on this boss. Following |
| the trend of easy bosses, the only difference between this one and the |
| Track-Bot is the shield that rotates around. Likewise, it gets faster as it |
| weakens. However, this thing doesn't even have an attack! It just charges at |
| you where you can just hop over it without any trouble. Fire away with Crystal |
| Eye (I recommend it over Napalm Bomb) and be ready to jump whenever it charges |
| at you. |

| Target: Cannon-Bot Found on: Level 3 |
| Suggested Weapon: Gyro Attack Difficulty: 2.8 |
| |
| Capcom finally decides to heat things up at Proto Man's Fortress and introduces |
| a boss that requires a bit of strategy. It has two attacks: the first is when |
| it fires out three circular shots in a spreadfire towards Mega Man. If they hit |
| Mega Man, he will become frozen in his tracks. The second is when the robot |
| jumps into the air and fires out 5 consecutive balls of plasma. It usually uses |
| attack 1 and attack 2 right after. When he uses the first attack, get away and |
| jump in between the top and middle circles OR over the top circle. This can be |
| difficult, indeed. When the bot jumps up and starts firing the circles, slide |
| underneath it and avoid them. Unleash the Gyro Attack whenever you have the |
| chance. |

| Target: Mega-Bot Found on: Level 4 |
| Suggested Weapon: Star Crash Difficulty: 3 |
| |
| Combining the skills of all the previous robots in the Proto Fortress, the Mega |
| Bot will give you some trouble. It has two attacks and both are very difficult |
| to avoid. The first is when it shoots 3 plasma blasts. They can be avoided with |
| some quick jumping. The second involves the robot firing its shield in Mega |
| Man's path, jumping to the other side of the screen and getting its shield back.|
| This is a great chance to hit it with the Star Crash. Star Crash has very poor |
| range which also adds to the difficulty. Good luck! |

| Target: Wheel-Bot Found on: Level 1 |
| Suggested Weapon: Crystal Eye Difficulty: 2.3 |
| |
| This tall can of junk requires a tad bit of strategy and swiftness. You MUST |
| have at least half a bar full of Crystal Eye, or it'll be a lot harder to kill |
| it. The way the robot operates is whatever "wheel" you shoot it will fire at |
| you. This can be used to your advantage. Shoot the bottom "wheel", jump on it, |
| and shoot the top one. Jump on that and aim towards the robot's eyes with |
| Crystal Eye. Seven shots to the eyes will put it back in the junkyard. |

| Target: Armored-Bot Found on: Level 2 |
| Suggested Weapon: Gyro Attack Difficulty: 2.1 |
| |
| This thing looks like a large version of one of those hard-hat robots that pop |
| up and shoot you. I must say, it's very easy to kill, requiring only the |
| evasion of a few attacks. Its first attack is when it shoots out orange balls |
| from the top of its head. The second is the same thing except from its mouth. |
| Sounds easy? It is. Stand on one of the platforms and wait until the sides open |
| up. When they do, unleash Gyro Attack on it. One Gyro Attack will take out 4 |
| energy bars, so it's not very difficult to kill. |

| Target: Dr. Wily (1) Found on: Level 3 |
| Suggested Weapon: M. Buster Difficulty: 2 |
| |
| Dr. Wily's first diabolical machine was constructed with simple programming. |
| It hovers around the room, attempting to scare Mega Man, but all it really does |
| is wait until Mega Man is stopped. It then comes crashing down onto Mega Man. |
| This can easily be avoided. When you see the window open up and the ship stops, |
| get out of the way! When the machine hits the ground, jump and release a charged|
| Mega Buster shot at the window where Dr. Wily can be seen. |

| Target: Dr. Wily (2) Found on: Level 4 |
| Suggested Weapon: M. Buster Difficulty: 3.4 |
| |
| The second machine in Dr. Wily's arsenal is a heavy piece of artillery. It can |
| be quite the challenge. It has two attacks. The first being when it shoots out |
| either blue bouncing balls or red homing missiles. Both are equally as dangerous|
| and nearly impossible to avoid. The second is when it tries to suck you up. You |
| see that vacuum-like mouth? That's the weak part of the bot. Power up your Mega |
| Buster and aim for it. The missiles are quite fast and so they're hard to avoid.|
| No weapon other than the M. Buster works well on this thing, so good luck! |

| Target: Dr. Wily (3) Found on: Level 4 |
| Suggested Weapon: M. Buster Difficulty: 3.2 |
| |
| Just when you thought it was over, it's not. Now you must kill Wily as he flies |
| around in a small spaceship. Again, no weapon is as good as a charged-up Mega |
| buster shot on him. This final boss features two attacks. The first is used as |
| soon as Dr. Wily appears. Two purple balls are shot down and split in both |
| directions. After these are shot is a PERFECT chance to release the charged-up |
| shot. After this attack, he'll fire four more purple balls in all four |
| directions that act like Protect Stone. These are quite hard to avoid. The good |
| thing about this final battle is that Dr. Willy will *NEVER* appear at the |
| bottom middle of the screen, so that's a "safe zone." Stay there and if Dr. Wily|
| appears on the left bottom or right bottom, jump up and release the shot. |
| Once you take out this final boss, congratulations! You've won! |
