Please note that the player can obtain parts for a special weapon known as “Beat” by fighting hidden versions of some of the Robot Masters, see Section 5: “ Collecting the Beat Letters” for more information. A boss waits at the end of each level, whose weaknesses and abilities are described in the section below. The first eight stages can be played in any order. Players who would rather fight Flame Man with a special weapon can start the boss loop with Wind Man, but his stage is one of the more dangerous levels in the game, so proceed with caution. Be warned that Flame Man is one of the more difficult Robot Masters in this title, but there is an E-Tank in the second half of his stage that can make the battle more manageable. Detailed descriptions of the eight Robot Masters, the end game bosses, and the locations of the hidden items that appear in this game are also included in this guide.īelow is the simplest and most effective order in which to defeat the initial eight bosses.Flame Man makes a good first target, because his stage is easy and lacks any significant secrets that require the Rush Jet or Power Adapter to uncover. The boss order recommended in this guide has been designed primarily to avoid the need to backtrack while keeping boss weaknesses in account.

However, the order in which the player defeats each boss becomes important if he or she wishes to collect the Beat letters without backtracking, because the items needed to reach many of the hidden bosses must be won from certain Robot Masters. Out of all of the Mega Man games for the NES, Mega Man 6 has perhaps the most flexible boss weakness system, since the majority of the Robot Masters can be defeated with the Mega Buster without too much trouble.
