Mega Man 6 was the last of the series on the NES, and when it reached North America in 1994 it was published by Nintendo rather than Capcom. A mysterious Mr. X hosts a robot tournament and turns the finalists against the world. Those eight Robot Masters came from fan design submissions: Blizzard Man, Centaur Man, Flame Man, Knight Man, Plant Man, Tomahawk Man, Wind Man and Yamato Man.
The main mechanical change is the Rush Adaptor system. Instead of calling Rush as a coil or jet, Mega Man fuses with him: Power Adaptor delivers short-range punches that break certain blocks, and Jet Adaptor lets him hover for a few seconds. Many stages have branching routes, with some paths only reachable by a specific adaptor, and hidden Beat parts lead to the bird helper. The game reuses established series art and sound well, and its globe-spanning stages, from Plant Man's jungle to Flame Man's oil fields, give it distinct variety.
Tips for Mega Man 6
Look for alternate exits; several stages hide a second boss door that leads to the Beat parts.
Use the Jet Adaptor to hover past long pits, and the Power Adaptor to break large blocks.
Collect energy balancers and tanks; they make weapon energy and health management much easier later.
