Mega Man Anniversary Collection

In Mega Man 1, when using a weapon that goes through an enemy --- Rolling Cutter, Thunder Beam, Ice Slasher, or Fire Storm --- press Select (L+R on the Gamecube controller) the second the weapon hits an enemy. After you press Select again to unpause the game, the weapon will hit the enemy a second time. This makes a joke of virtually every robot master battle in the game, so long as you have a weapon that can be used in conjunction with the glitch.

Unfortunately, this was fixed in later versions of Mega Man, and does not work in any other title besides Mega Man 1.

To change the stars usually seen on the screen that introduces bosses in Mega Man 2 into birds, press and hold Start and B immediately after choosing a stage.

There is a point in the Iceman stage where you try to get a 1-up but often miss it. When you drop down to the next screen (the one before the Big Eye), use your magnet beam and try to climb your way up and try to hop onto the offscreen platform where the 1-up is supposed to be. The moment you step on it, the screen will glitch and show you falling to the screen below and avoiding the Big Eye in the process.

This glitch occurs while fighting HeatMan, and you need to have Bubble Lead weapon (to make it easier). In one of HeatMan's attacks, he tosses three small flames at you. When he does this, use the Bubble Lead twice so that two bubbles are on the screen along with HeatMan's fire sparks. Before the Bubble Lead hits HeatMan, jump towards the gate you entered the room in and as you touch the gate, get hit by one of HeatMan's flames. If done correctly, the gate will open and and transport you to the beginning Wily Stage 1.

Wily Stage 1 will not have its normal color scheme, but it will have the color scheme and tileset of HeatMan's stage instead. Once you manage to get here, you will be mysteriously hit by something invisible until you die. However, you will start at the beginning of this stage, and you will no longer get hit.

At the Stage Select Screen, hold down the A + B buttons and choose a boss. When the next screen comes up that displays the boss and his name, the stars in the background will turn into birds.

Select Quick Boomerang. Then shoot only 7 at a time. Press start and select Quick Boomerang again. It won't waste! Do the same thing with Metal Blade except only shoot 3 at a time and with Bubble Lead only 1 at a time.

Play the game with two characters instead of one. The ending sequence will change depending on the two characters you used.

In order for this trick to work, you must have Spark Shooter (SparkMan's weapon), but must not have defeated ShadowMan, the Robot Master who gives it to you. Go into the menu and point to Spark Shooter. While the cursor is on Spark Shooter, press right on the D-Pad. Rush's picture will appear instead of Spark Shooter's picture. Select this, and you will now have Rush Marine with an empty meter. Now, go pick up a weapon capsule or weapon pellet to fill the empty meter with. Once it has a little bit of energy, the Rush Marine option will now permanently appear on your weapons list, even when you deselect it.

Press ''right'' on controller 2 and mega man can jump much higher and walk across the bottom of pits. For invincibility have mega man jump into a pit, then press ''right'' on controller 2. Wait for the energy bar to go black and jump out of the pit. Mega Man will be invincible as long as he does not obtain any energy. Once invincible, the arm cannon no longer works but weapons obtained from bosses do.

FlipTop/Eddie appears in certain empty rooms and will eject a random item to you when you are close by. Walk up to him to get him to stop, then quickly move away. If you don't get the item you want, exit the room and return. As long as you don't pick up the item, Eddie/FlipTop will reappear with a new item.

The Pharaoh Shot only uses energy when you either press or release the B button, so you can have unlimited Pharaoh Shots doing the following trick.

At the weapon menu highlight the Pharaoh Shot, press and hold the B button, then resume playing the game. You will start charging your shot as if you had already fired it. Run the charged shot into an enemy so that you don't release the B button. This will hurt the enemy but not drain any energy from you weapon meter.

FlipTop/Eddie appears in certain empty rooms and will eject a random item to you when you are close by. Walk up to him to get him to stop, then quickly move away. If you don't get the item you want, exit the room and return. As long as you don't pick up the item, Eddie/FlipTop will reappear with a new item.

Normally when you use an M-Tank it refills all your Life and Weapon/Item meters, however if you use an M-tank while you have all your meters full and there are non-boss enemies on the screen, these enemies will turn into 1-up icons. When you do this and there are no non-boss enemies on the scree you will gain one extra life.

At the start of Tomahawk mans level there are those breakable bricks. If you break the last one before you go to the second part of the level there is an E-tank inside the brick. It will be there everytime you go back into the level as well.
