Mega Man Anniversary Collection

Enter the following codes at the password screen for the corresponding game:

Go to the weapon menu and select the Pharaoh Shot weapon. While holding the square button, leave the menu. The weapon will start charging up (you'll see a ball over your head), but will not use any energy.

Once it's fully charged, you can ram the ball into an enemy. The moment you hit an enemy with it, press Start. If timed correctly, the Pharaoh Shot's energy will not have decreased. You can now do this trick again if you want to.

When playing Mega Man2 select a boss with the X button and continue holding the X button and instead of seeing stars in the background you will see little red birds flying around in the boss introduction.

First, go to ProtoMan's room in CloudMan's stage (right before the outdoor part before the boss, there will be a ladder. Use Rush to get to it). ProtoMan will comment about using weapons to find areas. Then go to ProtoMan's room in TurboMan's stage (this one is at the very top of the area with the traffic light platforms; go through the wall just before you reach the top of the ladder). He will mention something about the Super Adaptor.

After you go to these two rooms (doesn't matter with order you go to those), go to ShadeMan's stage. Continue like normal until you reach the Pumpkin mini-boss. Shoot the small orange core of the Pumpkin (NOT the eyes on the outside). After you defeat it, it will open a hole on the bottom. Go down until you reach the room with a lone green Sniper Joe. Defeat the Sniper Joe, and instead of going down the ladder, go right through a secret passage and enter the gate you find. If you did everything correctly, ProtoMan will challenge you to a duel.

Once you defeat ProtoMan, he will give you the ProtoShield. This can be used at the same time as the MegaBuster (don't forget to select it), and it will block many enemy shots (like those birds that hatch from the egg; let all of them run into the shield and they will die).

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.

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.

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.
