After going through Dr. Wily's castle, it turns out there's four more Robot Masters IN THE CASTLE. Wish more of the games did this.

Wily Stage 1 (continued)
Destroy the missiles to get them out of your way. Just don't stand too close so you won't get hit by the explosions.
You'll meet Dr. Wily. When you chase after him, you'll be attacked by Ballade, the fourth and last of the Mega Man Killers. Slide under him when he jumps and jump over him when he runs at you. He'll toss bombs at you, but you can easily destroy them with the Mega Buster.
When you bring him down to one hit left, he escapes. It's time to take on the Robot Masters from the fifth game.
Crystal Man
The next four stages take place in more of a Wily's Castle-like setting, now that you've managed to make your way in.
To get the Energy Tank fragment at the beginning, jump up and shoot the nearby platform with a fully-charged Mega Buster shot, then quickly use Rush Coil to jump onto it and grab the fragment. You'll be seeing this platform again, and you'll need it in order to get over a spike pit.
The Crystal Joes are only vulnerable when they shoot their crystals. Avoid their attack and hit them with charged shots.
The flying robots drop skull bombs when you're directly under them (or over them). Use the slide to avoid the bombs.
You'll see ball robots being propelled by cans on legs. Destroy the ball to get rid of this enemy completely; otherwise the ball will start bouncing around like crazy and careen into you.
The cones with the flashing lights fold down and move in for the kill when you get close enough. Thankfully, they go down in one hit and a charged shot will get rid of a whole line of them.
On the first drop down, go right on the third screen to get the W medal. The medals in this and the next three stages spell out "WILY," and you'll have to collect them before you can take on the rest of the castle or else you can't continue.
The street sweeping robot moves back and forth and shoots a three-way shot into the air. As long as you're not jumping around and have your Mega Buster fully charged, you should be fine.
Shortly after getting the W medal, you'll have a fork in the road. If you take the lower path, you'll have to deal with both the floor and the ceilings crushing you. Slide where necessary and don't stop for anything! At the pit, you'll have to wait for the floor to rise. From there, quickly make your way to the ladder.
The best time to jump over the pits with the crystals coming down from directly above is usually right after one comes down. Unlike the fifth game on NES, the crystals drop in a steady pattern and not randomly.
Near the end, you'll be having to do some waiting so the pillars can move around and make it easier to continue.
Crystal Man bounces around and shoot a crystal orb at you. When this orb hits the wall, it will split into four smaller orbs that bounce off the walls and ceilings for a little while before they disappear. Thankfully, they're not impossible to dodge. He also has a blaster that complements this weapon, but he only uses it if the crystals are still on the screen. Since you can't get the Gyro Attack in this game, use the Ring Boomerang on him instead.
Beating Crystal Man gives you the Crystal Eye, which works much the same way as Crystal Man's weapon does. The only difference is that this version splits into three orbs instead of four.
Napalm Man
Wait for the rocks to explode before dropping down.
The tiger robots pounce around when they see you, and can be easily rid of with a charged shot.
At the ladder where the tiger is, go to the right and extinguish the flames with Rain Flush. Go up the ladder and you'll meet Proto Man, who will give you an Energy Tank to go alongside the one behind him.
