Key characters
Mega Man
Mega Man begins with a repeatable basic shot, earns weapons from defeated Robot Masters and relies on precise jumps rather than the slide introduced in later games.
The original extra-life pickup depicts Mega Man’s head.
Metal Man
Metal Man fights on a moving conveyor and throws blades. His reward becomes a flexible weapon for attacking enemies above, below and across a room.

Air Man
Air Man sends tornadoes across his arena. Observing the gaps between the gusts matters more than trying to jump through every pattern immediately.

Heat Man
Heat Man switches between fire attacks and a fast body charge. His stage contains the famous disappearing-block route, and defeating him rewards the Item-1 support tool.
