---------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE HEROES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROCKMAN: The little blue guy.
Power 1: Rock Buster. Hit the fire button to fire in the direction you're
facing. Hold down the fire button to charge a level 2 or 3 shot,
then release to fire it. This can happen automatically with one
of Rightot's items.
Power 2: Slide. Hold 'down' and whatever direction you want to slide,
then hit the jump button.
-----
FORTE: The little black guy. He is *not* a fish.
Power 1: Forte Buster. Hold any direction key (except down) or any
combination of direction keys to make Forte fire in that
direction. Hold down the fire button to make Forte rapid-fire;
while rapid-firing, Forte cannot walk, but he can jump forward
or backwards.
Power 2: Double-Jump. By hitting the jump button while jumping or
falling, Forte will jump again.
Power 3: Dash. Hit the dash button to make Forte run forward.
Power 4: Dash-Jump. While dashing, hit the jump button to make Forte
execute a *powerful* jump.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL WEAPONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice Wall: Creates a wall of ice in front of you. If you push the wall, it
will gather momentum and slide forward, damaging everything in
it's path. If the wall contacts an obstacle, it will bounce off
and slide in the other direction. You can stand on top of the
wall to reach high ledges, and you can stand on it while it's
in motion to cross spiked floors. Underwater, the Ice Wall
will float upwards, and you can ride on it. Enemies that are
flat against the ground will be hit as the wall passes over
them. Won from Coldman.
Copy Vision: Creates an "energy-based multiple" (WOW!) of Rockman/Forte
wherever they happen to be when it's activated (yes, this
includes standing in thin air). The copy will fire it's
cannon forward until it dissipates. In addition, homing
shots will track the copy, instead of you. Won from
Astroman.
Spread Drill: Fires a large drill forward; the weight of the drill will
quickly drag it downwards. Hitting fire while the drill
is in flight will cause it to bisect into two smaller,
faster, lighter drills. Hitting fire a third time will
bisect both halves into four tiny, speedy drillettes.
Those round blocks made of ice or stone can be drilled
through with it. Won from Groundman.
Wave Burner: Bathes the area in front of you with flames. Can be used to
destroy those large flame-symbol blocks by lighting their
fuses, and will melt certain ice blocks. Underwater, the
Wave Burner will make a whirlpool that can be used to move
mines or propel you when you're in a bubble. Won from
Burnerman.
Remote Mine: After firing the Remote Mine, the up and down keys may be
used to steer it. When it contacts a wall or enemy, it
will stick to them, and you may hit the fire button again
to detonate it. Won from Pirateman.
Lightning Bolt: Calls down electrical blasts to hit everything on the
screen. While using the bolt, you are invulnerable to
enemy attacks, and will hang in the air if you do it
during a jump. This is good for avoiding attacks you
couldn't dodge otherwise... Won from Dynamoman.
Tengu Blade: Fires an energy slash forwards. Dashing or sliding with
the Tengu Blade active will cause Rockman/Forte to hit
enemies they contact with it. If the blade hits a wall,
it will ricochet off. Won from Tenguman.
Magic Card: Fires a card forwards or upwards which then returns. Any
power-ups the card contacts will be brought back as well.
Won from Magicman.
Gospel Boost: (Forte only) Gospel teleports in and fuses with Forte.
While fusion lasts, Forte can fly (but not climb ladders)
and simultaneously fire powered-up shots forward,
forward-up and forward-down. Must be bought from Rightot.
Rush Search: (Rockman only) Rush teleports down next to Rockman and digs
in the ground. If any enemies hit Rush while he's digging,
he will teleport out before finishing. Must be bought from
Rightot.
Beat: (Rockman only) Beat will fly in and drop a barrier over Rockman.
The barrier will drain energy continuously until it dissipates or
is shut off. Must be bought from Rightot.
Eddie: (Rockman only) Eddie will fly in and deliver up to three items
(each item drains approximately 1/5 of the power bar) to Rockman.
Must be bought from Rightot.

where CDs are buried underground. 300 bolts.

THE CDS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What, do I look like a masochist? Somebody (2 somebodies I know of)
already did it, anyways. If you find them all, then it enables Blues
as a playable character, and shows you a special ending cinema of Dr.
Wily building Zero and sending him out on his infamous rampage.
Just kidding, you don't get anything for finding all 100 CDs.
Scratch that. There was a contest, in Japan, with some manner of prize
going to the people who got all 100... I think. Something like the one
that went on with Rockman Battle & Chase. But, even if there was, *you*
couldn't have entered and I think it's over now, anyways. Sorry.
