Mega Man's only numbered 16-bit outing begins with Dr. Wily escaping prison and robots attacking the city, and this 1995 Capcom release introduced the rival Bass and his wolf Treble. The larger sprites make the screen feel more crowded than the NES games, but the formula holds: an intro stage, eight Robot Masters in two groups of four, and weapons gained from each defeated boss. The bosses include Freeze Man, Junk Man, Burst Man, Cloud Man, Spring Man, Slash Man, Shade Man and Turbo Man.
The game borrows ideas from Mega Man X, such as bolts that you collect and spend at Auto's shop for energy tanks and parts. Rush Search digs up items, and combining Rush with Mega Man forms the Super Adaptor, a rocket-punch armor. Shade Man's stage is often noted for a hidden musical nod to Ghosts 'n Goblins, and there is a secret two-player versus mode reached with a password.
Tips for Mega Man 7
Spend bolts at Auto's shop on energy tanks before the Wily stages.
Use Rush Search in open areas; Rush often digs up bolts and other items.
