Super password:
Enter A1 A4 B5 E2 F1 F3 as a password to start game play with all weapons and items.

Super blaster:
Intentionally lost a life four times in the exact same location, then continue game play. Doctor Light will give Mega Man a super blaster.

Hint: Hidden balloon:
Go across the top part of Pharoah Man's level. Do not enter the pit when it appears. Instead, use Rush to get across it. Go right, and you will reach more quicksand. Keep going to reach some platforms. There will be a small container marked with a B. This is the balloon.

Hint: Hidden wire:
Begin game play on Dive Man's level. Fall into the small pit that appears soon after the continue point. Avoid the spikes that line the walls and fall all the way down. A container marked W can be found once you reach the bottom. This is the wire.

Hint: 2-in-1 Pharaoh Buster:
After the Pharaoh Buster is charged you can run it into an enemy, and when its gone, release the button and shoot it again.

Hint: Defeating Dr. Wily in the final battle:
Many weapons will not work against Dr. Wily during the final battle. Only two are effective -- the Pharaoh Shot and Ring Boomerang. The Pharaoh Shot works the best. You can charge it up (B) and release it in six directions. Also, when it is charged up you can run into Dr. Wily with the power-up shot above your head, then shoot it again (release B). You will be able to defeat Dr. Wily with the Ring Boomerang, but it takes a lot longer and you cannot miss him at all. Once Dr. Wily is defeated, the game will end.
