newfiebangaa plays Mega Man V for Game Boy - Part 3 of 9


We've finally made it halfway through the game!

Whenever you complete a stage or reach the exit of a stage you've already completed, you can choose to go to Dr. Light's lab instead of straight to the stage select screen.

The CL icon allows you to grab an enemy and attack them repeatedly with the fully-charged Mega Arm.

The MH icon allows you to grab items with the fully-charged Mega Arm.

The Energy Balancer refills the weapon with the lowest amount of energy if you pick up a weapons pick-up with the Mega Buster equipped.

Venus


Some of the bubbles are a lighter shade and will drop down when you get close enough. After that, they'll jump around trying to throw themselves at you.

The crabs shoot bubbles that will envelop you and push you back. Take the crabs out from a distance. You can also shoot the bubbles down, too.

The waterfalls will push you into the bottomless pits, so wait for them to drop down before jumping ahead. If you see a drop of water, a whole waterfall is about to come down.

The floating robots with the rotors on their head split in two when hit. These two clones split up into even smaller versions once more before they are finally destroyed.

The owls with the fans on their stomachs will suck you towards them. Hit them with the Mega Arm.

You'll finally meet Eddy midway through, proving he's in the game.

The bubble floors will take you all the way to the ceiling when you jump, so watch for spikes before you jump.

To beat Venus, equip the Photo Missiles (MA) and fire them at him. Venus is pretty slow, but he jumps a good distance and leaves Bubble Bombs that you'll want to stay away from when he jumps around. He usually stays to the ground, though.

Beating Venus gives you the Bubble Bombs, which will travel upwards and explode upon impact with an enemy.

You'll also Rush Coil, which works much like it did in previous games. Yep, Rush is in this game, too.

Dark Moon


When you beat the first four Stardroids, you'll be able to enter a new area.

Mega Man will enter a base and come face to face with Terra. Instead of destroying you directly, he sends out Dark Moon.

Dark Moon is much like the Yellow Devil from the first Mega Man game ever. Avoid all of the segments as they fly to the right, then hit him in the eye when he shows up and opens it as he fires at you. When he teleports to the other side of the screen, the top half of him will bounce to the other side instead of just moving to it.

When you beat Dark Moon, you'll be able to go to the other stages...in space! Rush becomes a spaceship and takes Mega Man out of this world. There's something we had yet to see in the series.

If you need to return to the first four stages for P-Chip farming, just press B.
