THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
From the cosmic reaches of outer space comes mankind's greatest
threat.
An alien armada has targeted Earth and they plan to annihilate
the human race.
Totally impervious to all known weapons, the super-powers are
helpless in the face
of these alien invaders! The fate ofthe world
once again lies in the hands of one man -MEGAMAN!
Encased in fiendish fortresses, each
of these outlandish aliens have a
battery of weird new weapons that will quickly have Mega Man
seeing stars.
But Mega Man has a new trick up his sleeve. Armed with the
miraculous new MegaArm, none
of the alien androids are out of his
reach! Blasting his way through every treacherous trap, Mega Man
must find the lair
of each of these alien androids.
THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE continued
Once he blasts his way in, Mega Man must let loose with his entire
arsenal
of weapons to see what does the most damage. Once he finds
the right one, he needs to keep on blasting until the robot is nothing but
a pile
of molten metal.

LET'S TANGO
Poor Dr. Light! He may be the world's most brilliant scientist, but he
is an absent-minded fellow. While working onTango, his new robotic
attack cat,
Dr . Light misplaced two of Rush's adaptor s. Now Mega
Man and Tango must destroy the alien robots to get them back!
The Two Missing Rush adaptors are:
Rush Coil: Rush turns into a springboard to send Mega Man flying
over obstacles.
Rush Jet: Rush turns into a jet sled for super-sonic travel.
Once you find and want to use Rush, or when you want to use Tango
press the START button. When the weapon box appears, press the
control pad in any direction to highlight Tango or the Rush machine
you wish to use and press the A button.

companion and Rush will leap
to your side. Or if you need to call
Tango, press and hold the B button to charge him up, and then release
the B button to unleash Tango's furious furball!
SPECIAL ITEMS

variety of powerful items that will increase his chance of survival in
the battles that lie ahead.
Energy Pellets: These pellets increase Mega Man's energy
level.
Weapon Capsules: Weapon Capsules increase the energy
level of Mega Man 's current special weapon.
Energy Tanks: Energy Tanks fully recharge Mega Man's
energy supply. Mega Man can store these tanks until needed.

big one.

SPECIAL ITEMS continued
Weapon Tanks: Weapon Tanks fully recharge Mega
Man's current special weapon.
Super Tanks Super Tanks fully recharge all of Mega
Man's powers.
P Chips: Power Chips can be collected and given to
Dr. Light. He will be able to use the P Chips to create
powerful new weapons for you.
1-Up: A 1-Up gives Mega Man one more chance to
complete his mission.
HELPFULADVISE FROM DR.LIGHT
1. Each robot master is vulnerable to a certain type of weapon. If a
robot master seems too hard to defeat using the MegaArm, you
may need to acquire a special weapon to defeat him.
2.
If you have enough P-Chips, Dr. Light can make a cool enhance-
ment for your Mega Arm that allows you to grab and hit enemies
over and over. Once attached, fully charge the MegaArm as before,
but when the arm shoots and hits the robot, press the B button
repeatedly. This technique is very useful against robot masters!
3. Secret alien gems are rumored to be in outer space! See if you can
fi nd them for use in the Ultimate Weapon!
4. Look for secret passages that lead to friends like Protoman who will
give you power-up items!
5. After yo ub ea t Mercury, use the Grab Bu st er to help recharge
your main energy level. 17

USING YOUR PASSWORD
As you clean up the galaxy, Mega Man may be rewarded with a secret
password. Copy each letter and its location in the password grid on a
separate piece
of paper. When you finish writing down your password,
place it in a safe place.
The next time you play Mega Man V, you can continue from where
you received your password. Here's how:
1. On the title screen, move the arrow next to PASSWORD and press
the A button.
2. When the empty password grid appears, use the control pad to
move the brackets to the location
of the first letter. Press the B
button to select the correct letter or blank and then press the A button.
USING YOUR PASSWORD continued
3. Once you have finished placing each of the letters in its correct
location, press the START button. If the password is correct, the
game will return you to the stage you received the password.
