Megaman Anniversary Collection Cheats (PlayStation 2)

Whenever you charge up the Mega Buster, fire it at an enemy then immediately charge it up
once again. Whenever you charge up the Mega Buster, keep it charged up then encounter
something else for which it will make a different sound effect. Whenever you charge up
the Mega Buster, keep it charged then encounter an enemy that will make a different sound
effect. Any one of those three occurrences will then silence the Mega Buster's charging up
sound effect. It will be silent and stay that way while still charged up until you release
that shot and charge it again.

When you get the Megaball, you can use the ball to double jump and even triple jump. You
can do this trick as long as you have energy for the Megaball. Jump, and in the middle of
it, use the Megaball. You should land on the ball while you are falling down. The ball
will explode, and allow you reach the top of the screen. This depends on where you are.
If you want to do a triple jump, release the second ball slightly earlier than the first
time. You should go higher than the screen with the triple jump. You must hold Forward
while doing this. With enough practice you can even do the double jump going forward and
the triple jump going backward and vice versa.

Hold Up on controller two during a game.

As with all Megaman games, each Robot Master can take a certain number of hits from
each weapon. Some are impervious to other weapons (bullet, missile, Atomic Fire). In the
fifth Skull Castle stage (or throughout the game), learn what weapons do the best damage
to a specific Boss.

Metal Man can be defeated with one hit from his own Metal Blades (which only use half
of an energy unit each). Metalman is also easily defeated by about six to fourteen Quick
Boomerangs.

Crash Man can be defeated by running in an infinity symbol pattern (an elongated
sideways figure 8) and shooting him with either an Arm Cannon or Quick Boomerang shot
fourteen times or the Air Shooter twice.

Air Man can only take two to three Leaf Shields into his intake valves. Wait until he
fires his salvo of 3 Air Shooter attacks. He then jumps to the other side of the room to
continue his assault. Hit him from behind. His tornadoes are bulletproof.

Flash Man can be fooled into walking into a Crash Bomb placed into the left wall. Wait
on the upside the until he reaches you. Place the bomb when he is two thirds of the way
there. If he reaches you, stay there. Even with the Time Stopper on, the damage you do to
him will more than make up for what he does to you. If it works on time, it will only take
one Bomb. Otherwise, It may take two or three attempts.

If you make a direct hit with Crash Bombs on Woodman's orbiting Leaf Shield, you will
take him out faster than you would with the Metal Blades. One to two hits on the shield
itself will defeat him. If you hit him through the leaves, it will take more hits and
weapon energy. If you use Metal Blades, it will take more than two weapon units worth to
blast an unshielded Wood Man.

If you do not mind being birthday cake pink, Quick Boomerangs will easily take out
Metal Man and Bubble Man. Bubble Man can also be taken out by Metal Blades as he descends
from his swim.

Heat Man (the giant yellow flip-top lighter) can be cooled off with the Air Shooter,
Arm Cannon (P), or Bubble Lead. Use him as a toreador or matador uses a bull. After a
direct hit, he flames up and turns into a three-stage fire missile, aimed at your last
spot before his conversion. Leap over him and counter his attack with an immediate direct
hit, which forces him to perform the same feat again. Continue this bullfighting technique
until this "heat wave" dies down.

Quickman can be defeated by using his weakness (see "Quickman's Flaw") against him
and/or using the Time Stopper (F) in the room. It hurts him to be slowed down or have his
program halted. If you can successfully "super-charge" up (hold Square until the flashing
weapons meter changes from a yellow flash, to a light blue flash, to an intense white
flash) the Atomic Fire (H) and hit Quick Man with it, he can be defeated in two hits,
removing eight units of white-hot weapons energy each. Do not worry, as you have
twenty-eight energy units in all.

There are two ways to kill the Dr. Willy level 4 Boss. One way is to use Clash/Crashman's
weapon on the walls and the Boss, but you will not have enough left to defeat the Boss
(you must keep getting hit and die). When you start back at the check point, find some
more weapon energy to fill up Clash/Crashman's weapon. Return to the Boss. The ones you
destroyed are gone, but the walls will remain. You now should be able to defeat the Boss.
The other way is make sure you have some #1 and #3 remaining. Use #1 to fly up, shoot the
one on the right, jump down, shoot that one, use #3 on the wall, go up, head to the
bottom right, use one on the wall and the Boss, shoot the ones on the left, then use #1
and fly up. Use the last bit of energy remaining on the last one.

Guts Man: Regular shot, jump over his stones.

Cut Man: Use the Guts power to throw the stones underneath the door at him. Score both
hits, and he will be defeated. Note: You can only do this once, so make it
count.

Elec Man: Use Cut scissors.

Ice Man: Use Elec shot.

Fire Man: Use the Ice shot not only on Fireman, but to freeze obstacles that you tend
to run into throughout the stage.

Bomb Man: Use Fire Shot.


Alternately, use this order:


Bomb Man: Use the Arm Cannon (Mega Man's weapon).

Guts Man: Use Hyper Bombs (Bombman's weapon).

Cut Man: Use Super Arm (Gutsman's weapon) to lift the blocks up.

Elec Man: Use Cut Blade (Rolling Cutter) (Cutman's weapon).

Ice Man: Use Elec Beam (Elec Man's weapon). Pause and resume the game by pressing
Select repeatedly.

Fire Man: Use Ice Slasher (Ice Man's weapon). This can also freeze the fire that
appears in some sections of this stage, which will allow you to reach places that Mega
Man cannot.

The Bubbles are located on the third stage of Dr. Wily's Fortress. Hit the slow Bubbles
with the Arm Cannon (Mega Man's weapon), then use the Super Arm to pick up the blocks and
throw them at the fast Bubbles.

Megaman 8

In the original NES Megaman games (1 through 6), the music does not loop the
introduction of each song. In the altered games (Anniversary Collection), the music loops
the entire song rather than the second part of the it, as was done in the original
versions.

Megaman

Normally you can only play the specific Megaman game that you saved. Use the following
trick to play all of them. After you have saved one game, quit, start a new game, and
choose another Megaman game. You can either die or defeat the desired Boss, as long as it
saves your game. Then, quit and load your game. The game that you just played can now be
accessed along with your first game. Repeat this until all Megaman games are playable on
your saved game.

Hold Right on controller two during a game. Find a pitfall and fall in. Sometimes if you
wait a few seconds, you while hear the sound of Megaman dying and your health will
totally disappear. Jump out of the pit and you will have invincibility as long as you do
not collect any health capsules. While you are holding Right on controller two, you will
have super jump and can fall into pits without getting hurt and be able to jump high.

Dr. Wily is loacated on the last stage of his Fortress. First, hit Dr. Wily with the Fire
Storm (Fireman's weapon). After part of his machine is destroyed, hit him with the Elec
Beam (Elecman's weapon) and use the "Extra damage" trick by pressing Select repeatedly.
After that, his machine will be destroyed and the game will end.

Most weapons such as the Mega Buster will not work on Dr. Wily during the second battle
with him. Hit Dr. Wily with the Bubble Lead until he is defeated. Once he is defeated,
the game will end.

First, select how many energy tanks you want by putting a dot in the appropriate "A"
box, then follow that column down and decide how you want each stage Boss (dead or
alive):

Many weapons will not work against Dr. Wily during the final battle. Only two are
effective -- the Pharaoh Shot and Ring Boomerang. The Pharaoh Shot works the best. You
can charge it up (Square) and release it in six directions. Also, when it is charged up
you can run into Dr. Wily with the power-up shot above your head, then shoot it again
(release Square). You will be able to defeat Dr. Wily with the Ring Boomerang, but it
takes a lot longer and you cannot miss him at all. Once Dr. Wily is defeated, the game
will end.

When you fight Dr. Wily for the first time, have the Arrow Shot equipped. This is an item
that can be created from bolts. Also have Astro Crush as your Mega Power. As you begin
your battle, notice the thing that spins around and does four different things (shoots
about five multiple shots at you; rolls at you and returns; bounces up and down; shoots a
big projectile in the air and dops down to make two smaller ones). Also, sometimes the
mouth on the ship will open to fire a big laser. When this happens, fire a charged shot
at the mouth. The only time that you should use the Astro Crush is when that circular
thing fires the multiples shots at you; they are difficult to avoid and you will not get
hurt by them if you use the power. When it rolls at you, jump slightly early. When it
bounces, wait for it to bounce twice then slide under it. When it fires the big shot into
the air, slide to a different location as the shot will go where you were standing. Then,
jump when the two smaller shots go across the floor. If you do these things and are
extremely careful, you can defeat him the first time without taking any damage. For the
second battle, save the Rush Health option; all of Wily's attacks are very difficult to
avoid.

Megaman 6

When you first encounter this Boss (when playing the game from the beginning), you will
not be able to do this. However, if you want to return the intro stage and defeat the
Giant Clam again, the fastest and easiest way is to use the Astro Crush one time. All of
its health will go away.

Hold Square while selecting Shade Man. Music from the Capcom game Ghouls 'n' Ghosts
will be played.

Go to Cloudman's stage and keep going until you see a ladder above you, Use Rush Coil or
Jet to get to it. Protoman will give you advice. Next go to Turboman's level and get to
the part where there are street lights. Climb up and on the third screen at the top, jump
to the right. You will go through the wall and Protoman will talk to you again. Then, go
to Shademan's level. After you defeat the Pumpcan mini-Boss, go down and kill the green
enemy. Go past him and you will go through a secret wall and fight Protoman for the Proto
Shield.

Defeat the first four robot masters in Megaman 7. Then, complete the robot museum.
Save the game, and Megaman 2: The Power Fighters should now appear two doors to
the right of Megaman 8 at the game selection screen. Alternately, defeat all all
of the robot masters in Megaman 2. Additionally, enter 7853-5842-2245-7515
as a password in Megaman 7. Play the game, die, then save the game to unlock
Megaman 2: The Power Fighters.

The enemy robot clones operate on flat, uninterrupted rooms in the fifth Skull Castle
Stage. Quick Man was specifically programmed for this room. His room in his own stage has
two 2-stage rises. Due to this, he seems to run in place for about three seconds on the
upside of a step or wall. Use this as an opportunity to deliver a few well-placed Arm
Cannon shots.

Obtain the Mega Tank, full life energy, and fully charged weapons. Pause the game on a
screen with as many opponents as possible. Use the Mega Tank to turn all the opponents
into extra lives.
