Players control Mega Man in side-scrolling stages built around shooting, jumping, and careful platforming. Defeated Robot Masters grant new weapons, and each weapon can exploit weaknesses in other bosses and enemies. Progression moves from selected stages into a Dr. Wily fortress section, where enemy density and boss rematches raise the difficulty. Movement, positioning, and weapon management are the main skills.
