Before we head to Dr. Wily's fortress, we get the last of the collectibles.
Shade Man
The route we took before had a portrait of Dr. Wily in a vampire's cape. If you use Rush Search under it, you'll find the Energy Balancer without having to buy it in the store.
By destroying the core of the pumpkin mid-boss, you'll break a path into the floor If you take the cracked floor route, you can go to the right past the Shield Joe. This takes you to an empty room.
Once you've met Proto Man in Turbo Man's stage, you'll finally fight Proto Man here. 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. Use the Mega Buster; fully charged shots will briefly knock Proto Man back. The Power Adaptor is not recommended, you need to be able to slide.
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. You must be standing still and facing the projectile for this to
If you don't have Turbo Man's Scorch Wheel to light the candles with, use the Thunder Bolt to find your way through the dark room.
You'll then take a lift upwards that takes you up to the next area, but the lift will stop and cause you to take on some zombie robots beforehand. Charge up that Mega Buster.
Slash Man
The little robots that move back and forth and speed up when you're at their level can be destroyed with the Danger Wrap.
Go back to the forest near the end of the stage and use the Scorch Wheel on the snakes' heads to burn all the trees. Not only does this look rather wicked, but you'll also reveal a hidden ladder. Go up the ladder and go right to find Beat. Shoot down the cage with a fully charged Mega Buster shot (I can't believe I had to look that up during recording) to break it and free Beat. Unlike previous games, Beat picks you up in case you're about to fall into a pit.
