RUSH — Mega Man

"Keep going! Destroy all the robot fiends in this level, and you’ll face the diabolical Robot Master. His Energy Meter appears on the right of yours, so you can keep an eye on who’s winning! If you lose all your chances, the game ends. But if you demolish the Robot Master, you gain his weapons and capture the energy crystals from his world. Then you can take on the next maniac."

"POWER UP! As you blast Protomans cybernetic creations to smithereens, you will gain their special weapon and add it to your arsenal."

"METAL ATTACK "Calling Mega Man! Calling mega Man! Come in please! Mega Man, we need you! We’re down to the wire on our peace-keeping project. We’ve got to get those last energy crystals or we can’t finish it. Dr. Wily is here now, too…. Yes… he’s finally found his sanity. He knows where the crystals are! They’re in the mining worlds, but we can’t get to ‘em. The robots are running amok and they’re destroying everything! “You’ve got to her there, Mega Man, and get those crystals! You’ll have to face some pretty mean metal. Expect the worst! Is Rush there with you? Give him a bolt to chew on and tell him it’s from us. What’s that – we must be getting static-sounds like you said ‘Woof!’ “Mega Man, get to those mining worlds pronto! Grab the crystal sand stop whoever’s in charge. He’s one lunatic guy! “This is Dr. Light. Over and out!”"

"It’s MEGA MAN versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of Monsteropolis-that strange multi-faceted land of robot-like Humanoids. Brilliant scientist Dr. Wright conceived the construction of fully-operational human-like experimental robots to perform specific everyday duties. Dr. Wright, and his assistant Dr. Wily, encouraged with their very first near-human robot – Mega Man proceeded to develop six additional humanoids, all programmed to perform prescribed rituals: Cutman: Designed to function as a lumberjack. Powerful saw-toothed scissor-like instrument protrudes from head, capable of gnawing through giant forest timbers. Gutsman: A bulldozing character capable of lifting and transporting huge boulders. Iceman: Impervious to chilling sub-zero temperatures, capable of human-like performances under extreme climatic conditions. Bombman: A real “blaster” as a heavy duty laborer who uses intensely powerful explosives to clear lands for Dr. Wright’s construction projects. Fireman: Melts and molds metals with flame throwing torch flaring from atop his head. Elecman: Dr. Wright’s electrifying creation- planned for conducting electrical operations – even supervising nuclear power plants. But, with the exception of MEGA MAN, all of Dr. wright’s near-human robot experimentation went awry. Assistant Dr. Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr. Wright’s Humanoids, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr. Wily could control the world and its resources. Resisting re-programming, MEGA MAN is chosen the defender of the universe and its inhabitants. MEGA MAN dares to single-handedly penetrate seven separate empires of Monsteropolis, eliminating the leaders and followers of these sovereignties. Get ready for some very exciting challenges!"

"As MEGA MAN defeats each enemy, he acquires their powers. HeatMan: The [H] Atomic Fire can throw three different sizes of fireballs. The longer you hold the fire button, the bigger the fireball. AirMan: The [A] Air Shooter throws small tornados WoodMan: The [W] Lead Shield creates a shield around you until you move. The leaves are then thrown in the direction the control pas is pushed. BubbleMan: The [B] Bubble Lead is a bubble that rolls on the ground in front of your and damages that it hits. QuickMan: The [O] Quick Boomerang can throw up to three boomerangs. Hold the fire button for continuous fire. FishMan: The [F] Time Stopper will freeze all enemies for a little while. Be careful. When this is used, it will continue until it is completely drained of energy. It cannot be turned off early. MetalMan: The [(M)]: Metal Blade is a gear. Up to three may be thrown in any direction the control pas is pushed. This is probably the best general purpose weapon and the energy lasts a long time. CrashMan: The [C] Crash Bomber can be thrown at walls and will detonate after a short delay. It may be used to get through certain walls. These weapons work with varying degrees of effectiveness on different opponents. It is best to experiment, especially when fighting the final robot of each level."

"Mega Man has ended the evil domination of Dr. Wily and restored the world to peace. However, the never ending battle continues until all destructive forces are defeated. Fight, Mega Man! For everlasting peace!"
