PrinceWatercress plays Mega Man IV - Part 7 of 7


All's well that ends well for a fourth time. We take on the Robot Master Rush before foiling Dr. Wily's plans yet again.



Counter-clockwise from upper-left to upper-right is Toad Man, Bright Man, Pharaoh Man, Ring Man, Crystal Man, Charge Man, Stone Man and Napalm Man. Same strategies for each Robot Master still apply.

When you beat all eight Robot Masters, you'll be in another hallway where you'll be able to refill on weapons.

You'll take on Dr. Wily's giant robot. Stand underneath the flowing orb underneath the neck and use Power Stone at the top of your jump. Avoid the fists that smack the ground and the debris that falls from the top of the screen.

The orb will also shoot projectiles that track your current position at the time it is fired, so watch out for that.

You'll then take on the giant robot's head. Equip the Ballade Cracker and shoot them at the mouth when it opens up and tries to suck you towards it. Stay on the move to avoid the zaps that come out of the helmet, and use the Mega Buster to push it away when it backs up and moves towards you.

You'll then take on Wily himself. Equip the Pharaoh Shot (charge it up by holding B!) or the Ballade Cracker, then avoid the bombs and the pits they make. For best results, stay all the way to the left and slide right when Wily shows up. After two bombs, Wily will drop balls as he makes his way to the right. Thankfully, they don't hurt very much and you can hit Wily with either of the aforementioned weapons as he moves to the right. This is probably the easiest last Wily form in any game in the series.

After beating Wily, Wily escapes and Mega Man is trapped. Ballade shows up with a change and sacrifices himself so that Mega Man can get out and escape into the vacuum of space as Wily's spaceship explodes. You've won!
