Mega Man 2 (ロックマン 2: Dr.ワイリーの謎, Rockman 2: Mystery of Dr. Wily) is a 1988 platforming game published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the second game in the Mega Man series.

The game improved on many elements from the original Mega Man game such as graphics, music, and modifications to make the difficulty balance more manageable such as the introduction of E-Tanks, which restore health, and allowing damage invincibility to temporarily protect Mega Man from spikes. The game also introduced transportation items that would later be revived throughout the series as Rush.

The game's story sees Mega Man continuing his fight against Dr. Wily as he introduces eight Robot Masters of his own. Once Mega Man defeats all eight Robot Masters, he infiltrates Dr. Wily's castle and confronts the doctor himself.

Moves[edit]

Many of Mega Man's moves originated in Mega Man 2, including Metal Blade, Crash Bomber, and Leaf Shield; they were obtained from defeating Metal Man, Crash Man, and Wood Man respectively.

Stage[edit]

The design of Wily Castle comes from Dr. Wily's Castle in this game. This area is often the final area of the Mega Man games.

Enemy[edit]

Mettaur appears as an enemy in Smash Run.

Music[edit]

"Mega Man 2 Medley," "Air Man Stage," "Quick Man Stage," "Mega Man 2 Retro Medley," "Metal Man Stage," "Crash Man Stage," "Flash Man Stage," and "Wood Man Stage" all originate from this game.

NTSCSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS This enemy comes to Smash Bros. from the Mega Man series, bringing its distinct yellow helmet along with it. Usually hiding under its helmet, every so often a Mettaur will show its face to fire off a few shots. You can't hurt them when they hunker down, but you can grab them...

NTSCSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U A familiar foe from the Mega Man series, these guys are pretty distinct with that big yellow helmet. It looks a lot like a hard hat from a construction site. It's pretty great protection—you can't really hurt these guys until they look up from under the helmet. The Cactuspy and slippery New Met are pretty similar.

Alternatively, you can just grab it and lob it. Your choice.
