Mega Man joins a search for energy elements, only to find another set of robot masters standing in his way. The selectable stages and weapon collection return, now shaped by the slide: a quick low movement that slips beneath obstacles and changes how you dodge.
Rush, the robotic dog, provides support forms that help with difficult terrain. Proto Man's appearances add a little mystery between the bright mechanical set pieces. Winning the initial battles is only part of a longer campaign, so learning how different weapons behave matters beyond one boss weakness. Its best moments combine deliberate shooting with movement that suddenly feels much more flexible.
