NintendoCapriSun plays Mega Man 7 - Part 9 of 17

Time for Turbo Man's stage...which looks REALLY out there in terms of appearance.

Turbo Man

No sooner do you start the stage does a green robot try to hit you with a bulldozer with spikes on the shover. Keep shooting the robot as you avoid the enemies.

The robots that spin around on one wheel will eventually run straight into you, while the red cone robots will jump up and shoot three-way shots. You can only damage them when they're jumping, as their eyes will be exposed.

The tires on chains on the ceiling will bounce you backwards whenever you move into them.

The robot heads hiding in the stacks of spiked tires will send their tires flying at you before the heads starting jumping after you themselves.

As soon as you see these, you'll come across a ladder. Two screens up, go through the wall on the upper-right corner. You'll find another hidden room...and Proto Man! He'll tell you about the Rush Power Adapter that armor is too bulky to allow you to slide.

After this part, you'll see flamethrowers on the floors and ceilings. When the light goes from the left to the right (turning from blue to amber to red), fire shoots out of them. Just pay attention through this part, and speed up whenever you can.

The next part is very reminiscent of the Quick Man lasers. (Remember those from the second game?) You'd better be quick, and drop down as much as you can. This part isn't quite as long as that Quick Man section, but those flame pillars will still cause instant death.

You'll then be on a moving 18-wheeler. Move to the right and you'll meet the cab itself. Shoot at the eyes when they're open, and avoid/shoot the flying miniature clones of itself that come out of its mouth and fly at you.

Shade Man

Once you've met Proto Man in Turbo Man's stage, head back to that empty room in Shade Man's stage that was mentioned earlier. You'll finally fight Proto Man. Unlike previous games, Proto Man will alternate being standing still and shooting, jumping and shooting (shooting multiple shots at once as he does so) and dashing. Just pay attention to what Proto Man does and keep piling on the damage, and you should be fine.

Beating Proto Man will give you the Proto Shield. When equipped, this protects you from damage from some but not all projectiles that move towards the shield.
