Hint: Double jump:
When you get the Megaball, you can use the ball todouble jump and even triple jump. You can do this trick as longas you have energy for the Megaball. Jump, and in the middle ofit, use the Megaball. You should land on the ball while you arefalling down. The ball will explode, and allow you reach the topof the screen. This depends on where you are. If you want to doa triple jump, release the second ball slightly earlier than thefirst time. You should go higher than the screen with the triplejump. You must hold Forward while doing this. With enoughpractice you can even do the double jump going forward and thetriple jump going backward and vice versa.

Hint: Defeating Dr. Wily:
When you fight Dr. Wily for the first time, have theArrow Shot equipped. This is an item that can be created frombolts. Also have Astro Crush as your Mega Power. As you beginyour battle, notice the thing that spins around and does fourdifferent things (shoots about five multiple shots at you; rollsat you and returns; bounces up and down; shoots a big projectilein the air and dops down to make two smaller ones). Also, sometimesthe mouth on the ship will open to fire a big laser. When thishappens, fire a charged shot at the mouth. The only time thatyou should use the Astro Crush is when that circular thing firesthe multiples shots at you; they are difficult to avoid and youwill not get hurt by them if you use the power. When it rollsat you, jump slightly early. When it bounces, wait for it to bouncetwice then slide under it. When it fires the big shot into theair, slide to a different location as the shot will go where youwere standing. Then, jump when the two smaller shots go acrossthe floor. If you do these things and are extremely careful, youcan defeat him the first time without taking any damage. For thesecond battle, save the Rush Health option; all of Wily's attacksare very difficult to avoid.

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

Glitch: Misspelling:
Immediately after you defeat the mysterious robot,Protoman will appear and say, ".....what happend?" insteadof ".....what happened?".
