Special Weapons | ||||
Name | Fire Storm | |||

Abilities | Shoots a fireball, and has a temporary shield effect. | |||
Against | Bomb Man | |||
Name | Hyper Bomb | |||
Robot Master | Bomb Man | |||

Against | Guts Man | |||
Name | Ice Slasher | |||
Robot Master | Ice Man | |||
Abilities | Takes the form of an arrowhead-shaped blade of ice that can either damage or freeze enemies. It is produced via a blast of super-chilled air laced with liquid nitrogen, which then crystallizes to form a projectile. | |||
Against | Fire Man | |||
Name | Rolling Cutter | |||
Robot Master | Cut Man | |||
Abilities | Takes the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of Mega Man in a teardrop-shaped pattern before returning to him. Can also go through walls. | |||
Against | Elec Man | |||
Name | Super Arm | |||
Robot Master | Guts Man | |||
Abilities | Mega Man can walk up to certain blocks, and if they can be picked up by the Super Arm, they will flash. Press the attack button to pick them up and press it again to throw them. If there is not enough room available to create an arc, or if/when they land on the ground, the blocks will scatter. | |||
Against | Cut Man | |||
Name | Thunder Beam | |||
Robot Master | Elec Man | |||
Abilities | Shoots three long electrical bolts in different directions, one forward, one straight up, and one straight down. Because of the three-way spread and its ability to go through enemies, the Thunder Beam is considered the most powerful weapon in the game. | |||
Against | Ice Man |
