Unlock the Secrets of Mega Man 2 with Passwords – No More Grueling Marathons!
Tired of starting Mega Man 2 from the beginning to face Dr. Wily again? Fret no more! In the past, before save files were common, Capcom gave us a password system for Mega Man 2. It may seem tricky, but it’s very helpful.
That’s right. Mega Man 2 has passwords! It’s not an urban legend discussed in quiet tones. It’s true, and it can prevent controller-throwing frustration.
Cracking the Code: How Mega Man 2 Passwords Work
How does this password system actually work? It is simpler than you think, even if it looks like alien symbols at first.
Every Robot Master in Mega Man 2 has a space in the password grid. Imagine it as a scorecard for your boss battles.
In each Robot Master’s space, you will find ten possible dots. Don’t worry; it’s not as hard as it seems. These dots fall into two groups:
- Five dots show if you’ve defeated a Robot Master and taken their weapon. Victory is tasty and saved until you turn off your NES.
- The other five dots track your Energy Tanks. Those life-saving E-Tanks you guard tightly. The number of dots changes based on how many E-Tanks you carry when you enter your password.
Clever, isn’t it? This setup lets the game count which bosses you’ve beaten and how ready you are for what lies ahead, all within a grid of dots.
