Capcom's first handheld Mega Man, developed by Minakuchi Engineering and released in 1991, works as a remix of the NES series rather than a straight port. The first four Robot Masters come from the original Mega Man, then a second set from Mega Man 2 waits inside Dr. Wily's space station. Waiting at the end is Enker, the first of the Game Boy series' exclusive Mega Man Killers, who absorbs shots and fires them back.
The Game Boy screen is much smaller than the NES display, so the stages had to be rebuilt with less room to see what's coming. Combined with tough platforming, that makes this one of the harder entries in the franchise. There is also no password system, so a run has to be completed in one sitting. The sprites are large and faithful, and the music reworks familiar tunes well. Fans who have played the NES originals will enjoy spotting what has been rearranged.
Tips for Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge
Clear the first four Robot Masters in an order that lets each new weapon exploit the next boss's weakness, as in the NES original.
Enker absorbs your buster shots and releases them as a counterattack, so time your fire carefully during that fight.
With no passwords, save Energy Tanks for the Wily station's later stages.
