Episode 2
CLASSIC FIRST: First Episode with side graphics!
The original Mega Man is often regarded as the most difficult game of the six released on the NES. It's extra difficult, because in this game we don't have any E-Tanks to refill our health!
In this video we will learn:
* A non-traditional boss order that will make the game much easier
* Complete strategies for all 10 stages
* How to tackle the most difficult platforming sequences
* Multiple strategies for the Dr. Wily stage bosses - with OR WITHOUT using the Elec Beam trick!
* Data on TONS of enemies and bosses!
* After each boss, I added "Mega Facts", which are fun facts about the series. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

This is the best channel ever. You bring peace to my childhood pain.
Amen
Most of it .
WHAT HAPPENED WITH FATHER O'MALLY?!?!?!.
Childhood pain?
Hopefully it was video game-related.
Hey, I get why Gutsman's weapon is so effective against Cutsman now. Rock beats scissors.
*MIND BLOWN*
My brain just exploded like Mega Man hitting spikes.
Thank you for this!
It's also why the buster deals more damage against Cut Man than any other Robot Master. Remember that in Japan, Mega Man's name is Rockman, and... well... you can put two and two together.
Oh man. I had no idea Jared Goff was Mega Man. These videos really have so much information.
And now he's wearing the blue/silver/white of the Detroit Lions... You kind of have to wonder a little bit... 😆
I always have the bad habit of not using my special weapons in the stages. Looks à lot easier with the fire weapon. Might try this next time instead.
I think we've all fallen into that trap - when you have limited use of anything in a video game, the instinct is to save it for a boss! This game, and pretty much all of the Mega Mans, are MUCH easier if you get some good weapons early and use them liberally. Thanks for watching!
I literally never used the weapons in stages, the buster is enough to me, infinite ammo and decent shoot speed and range
I am quite the oppossed, I always use the special weapon.
Same here, never used any weapon, including in stages where i knew it was useless against the boss. I also sucked at platforming so i used to start with cutman, then elecman, then i did elecman again because his weapon destroys throwable blocks so i could grab the magnet beam right away and use it to cross the gutsman moving platforms part.
My preferred strategy in Mega Man 2 was to do Quick Man and Metal Man first partly because those they give useful but low resource cost weapons. Even as conservative as I was with consumables, I knew I wouldn't run out of both of them. This hoarding behavior is funny, though, because it forces you to develop a higher skill level than you really need.
A tip for the clone MegaMan boss. He will always fire his weapon immediately, and you cannot dodge it....unless you switch to Gutsman's powers before dropping into the boss room. As there are no blocks, he cannot fire and simply backs up. Then switch to the Fireman's power and shoot away.
Not true. I've been the clone without getting hit on multiple occasions.
Good old megaman. My favorite franchise.
I used Cutman's weapon on Dr. Wily's second form because it can hit twice in one boomerang arc. This brings back childhood memories, it's the first game I bought with my saved up money in elementary school.
The select button trick works with any boss weapon, specially Elecman's and Cutman's.
Yeah, that totally works! Obviously harder to get extra damage from weapons with a smaller hitbox, but if you mash that select button, it can be done!
and the first wiley boss the yellow devil
He also work on Guts Man too.
It works with standard shots too. Speedruns use it to kill first boss
The flying, mobile blasting platforms that are icy on Iceman's stage are the hardest platforming for me. I always use the magnet beam to get across that pit.
Yeah, that part is pretty mean, especially when the flying penguins come through!
They're especially difficult because if you get hit, you can get glitched right through those platforms even though you're still standing on it.
Amazing how you have simplified even the most difficult parts of this game. Well done! I Can’t get enough of these videos
Loved your homage & respect to the original Captain N the Game Master along with the classic Mega Man
Me too. Loved that on Saturday mornings with a bowl of lucky charms. Lol
I cannot tell you how many times the Rock Monster made me cry. Please note, I did not note "as an adult." And yes, I watched the WHOLE video to arrive at the part I was so curious about. (I only beat this game once. I cleaned off my old NES, blew the hell outta the cartridge and played on, waiting for the game / system to inevitably start flashing and go down on me. It didn't. I finished Wily with one hit health remaining, screamed for joy, figured I'd try it again... and the magic ended with the flashing.) 11 years late, but that thank you this AND this channel!
I remember buying Mega Man 1 after buying Mega Man 2, thought it was so odd it had scoring and yeah, it was WAY harder than 2 was.
Finally after 30 years I beat this game. Thanks a lot man!!
I beat Mega Man 2 once. But that was years ago.
I really enjoy how even if you played these games before, there's a lot of personality to the commentary and lots of obscure things to learn that make it worth while. Learned a few tricks already to some games I have beat many times!
Loved the Captain N The Game master throwback. brought back ALOT of awesome Saturday morning memories. 🥰
🤘
Yes! I beat MegaMan 1 tonight. Thanks to this channel! 👍🏻
Now on to MegaMan 2
your vids are so well done. I wish you great success. hard to believe these dont have way more views!!
Thanks, Tony! Tell your friends 😁
I agree! I beat TMNT but I watched a couple videos (no commentary on them). I think I made it to the technodrome without video supports....

He'll get there. 100percentZelda blew up because his content was undeniably fantastic. This channel will do the same
Great video! I remember watching you beat this when i was 5
Yeah, we played a LOT of Mega Man back in the day!
I always wondered what the optimal order was. Now I know.
Just having that Fire weapon for the whole game makes a big difference. Thanks for watching!!

The first game is a little different than the others. Most of the rest of the games have a very clear path mapped out.
In the later games, there will be one boss who is particularly weak to the buster and you just use their power against the next boss, rinse and repeat. In this game, they hadn't really solidified that.
And knowing is half the battle
Beat this game for the first time yesterday. I took on Cutman and then went to Iceman after on my first run playing this game. Definitely glad I watched this video so I could get the boss order right and made playing this game a fair bit easier. Thanks Ucbvg!
I usually did Gutsman first and then Cutsman, all the rest, seeing this makes me remember how short the stages were in the first game! I remember getting wrecked by Elecman before I knew which weapon to use, he's really hard without Cutsman's weapon! I don't think I used the magnet beam near enough either
Legit this is such a nice thing to have. I've always loved the aesthetic and concept of MegaMan but found the games VERY HARD. Seeing how you zoom through it is very helpful.
14:23 Fun fact; because of the way screen-wrapping works, if you jump at the top of the upper ladder and press Up, you'll end up warping to the bottom ladder. It saves a ton of time and the hassle of the shell enemy there.
Thanks for making this guide! I have gotten to the Yellow Devil several times but could never beat it and then gave up. With your strategy I think I could actually have success. I heard someone on Twitch mention this channel. The videos seem fun and useful
Thanks! I didn't know someone on Twitch mentioned me - that's awesome!
If you beat the Yellow Devil, let me know - I love hearing about my viewer's successes!
I've been at this part for years also. I got to megaman clone once, but it seemed impossible. Going to try again on my switch
I just now discovered this channel, and I really like it! I really like the intro to your videos that features the dog! By the way, I also always preferred to start with Fire Man first with Mega Man 1, for the reasons that you prefer (having Fire Storm early in the game makes the rest of the stages easier)
Thanks! Great minds think alike!
I'd do elecman for the special weapon, then take a death.
Just came across this video today. Decided to play mega man on my original nes and after 30+ years finally beat this game. I gave up on it a few years ago, but thanks to your tips I finally did it. On to the next game!
I've learned with the Pause Glitch that if you pause, wait 1 second, then quickly unpause and pause again, it's much faster since after at least 1 second the boss will lose it's invincibility frames, making fights like the Yellow Devil much faster.
Starting off with a bang. That bit about Jared Goff had me rolling!
Love this series. You can tell this was an earlier vid, as audio and production quality have come a long way. Impressive in such a short time.
Such a difficult game, especially when no one in school knew any more than you did! The first time I saw someone beat the original levels and Dr. Wily popped up in the middle, It was insane.
I've since beat it as an adult however as I'm doing with lots of these old games, many with your help and thanks to your guides aw ! Cheers !
always enjoyed the mega man series (definitely never figured out the sequence of who to be first and so on in any game release, just figured it out as I went) .....for some reason the detail in the surprised look on his face when he jumps and the little foot scoot animation when he inches close to an edge of a platform before you jump still get me haha
I was able to beat Mega Man by the end of high school. As a youngster Yellow Boss got me 80% of the time, Mega Man clone the rest. This was one I was really proud of finally beating.
Those two are tough, probably harder than Dr Wily, even with his two energy bars.
Yellow Boss is Cyclops. He's easier with the Elec Beam select button trick.
Yeah that Yellow Devil is one of the more annoying bosses in the series and yet I can't help but say I miss the challenge when its not there.
Same, Sandman made my hand sweat and my heart race when I was a kid.
I had the Power and knew the select button trick. That's how I beat the devil im pretty sure.
its funny how in the entire megaman series that cutman is the only boss whose weakness weapon can only be use before wily's castle
I appreciate this channel because a casual player can follow this guide and beat the game. I've played these games so many times I can do it buster only, but not everyone has the time to learn enemy placement and patterns and hit boxes.
Fun fact, the pause/resume trick isn't limited to just elecbeam but can be used with any weapon. Also, you don't need to mash, pause when it hits, wait for the enemy to stop flashing then resume and pause immediately. This limits movement of both the enemy and the shot, making it easier to say, hit the final form of Wily with the Cutter and taking him down way faster!
BL3 has a weapon called the Cutsman and is a reference to a song that is in turn a reference to this game. It shreds too
Pro tip: If Gutsman platforming is kicking your butt, do Elec man earlier TWICE and get the magnet beam with elecman weapon on the second pass.
That can totally work. Honestly, I'm surprised with how many commenters told me their strategy was to run Elec Man's stage twice. I never really considered that.
Hey man, came upon your videos, you make great content. Keep up the good work, you earned a sub!
Thanks for the sub, John! Glad to hear you're enjoying the channel!
I truly appreciate your time and work on these games cause I had to go through them it's nice to seat back and watch
Played it once. so difficult that haven't done it again. Nice to know there was an easier way though!
Love these videos, you have actually helped me beat alot of these Retro games! I plan to use the Yellow Devil glitch on my TH-cam video, I intend to show off the glitch and will give your channel a HUGE plug, keep up the amazing work 😁👊
Thank you for making this video. Never liked the 1sr game much and finding it a chore to beat. This is a big help
Totally mesmerized. I grew up playing all these on nes. Never beat the first one. Love you videos. Subscribed
After watching a few classics on my own childhood, you got a new sub, sir ! :)
Man, THANKS for making this channel and all the content you create for it, I LOVE IT!!! It's my new favorite channel, done watched everything you got and can't wait for the next one. I love the commentary and humor you add to each one. I think you should also do some for the Super Nintendo too at some point but if not that's ok too. My absolute favorite part of each video are the information and history/story segments at the beginning. Keep this going and you are doing a great job! :)
Amazing video ❤ I’ve been watching your channel for a month and can’t get enough. Thank you for doing a whole lot of work. I really appreciate it. ❤
Been loving all your videos keep up with the good work
Always start with Gutsman … then Cutsman and so on … I love your channel - Might have to start one of my own. Have an awesome and blessed weekend!
Always liked MM games for the bright graphics, and in this game the ice- & bomb man backgrounds. Now I love the ending credits (those seem to rival very late game backrounds), and it looks like I might be able to get there to see them myself! Great series, loved the mega facts and alternate strategies!
My first game I got as a kid. Never new about the Elec glitch. I beat that game forever ago as a kid. Tried to show my kids how to beat it and couldn't. Now the Elec/Fire man starter will help me through it. Thanks for the tips. Kudos to you kind sir.
I've never known about these little tips about this. So awesome bro!!!
I loved this game, the select trick is great, great video
Hi from Argentina. I have just found your Chanel and I am amazed by it. Watching all your videos.
I used to start with Cutman and then follow the bosses weakness order from there* and I could never get the hang of the platforms in Gutsman's stage, so I'd always get the Magnet Beam first by retracing back into Elecman's stage and using the Elec Beam to clear a path to it.
The Select-Trick can work with most the weapons, too, it's just easiest to use with the Elec Beam.
*So I'd go Cutman, Elecman, Iceman, Fireman, Bombman, Gutsman.
Jared Goff: The Blue Bomber.
Yeah, that'd work. He still wears blue now that he's with my Lions. And he certainly bombed last week against the Niners.
It was still the best season I've ever seen them play in my lifetime, but it's a good thing it's a long off-season, it's gonna take until September for the wound to heal.
Definitely helps with different strategies, especially when the frustration kicks in lol
I really enjoy the mega facts part. It would be nice to see those in other videos during downtime 👍🏻
Good job bro! This was very helpful.
Hi I absolutely love your channel, its informative and you have a relaxing voice, I'm working my way to watch all your videos :)
Thanks, Lillith!!
That alternate strategy in 28:50, 33:10 and 40:00 where you press Select rapidly and the boss take full damage with one hit just blew my mind. 🤯 You are a genious.
Due to having a knockback mechanic, Elec Man is actually pretty easy to beat with the buster if you get the rhythm down. After being knocked back, he takes a step forward, throws his hands up, pauses, then fires. As long as you hit him soon after his i-frames wear off, he'll just keep doing the same thing over and over again. If your timing is good enough, he won't even fire, though it's best to jump while shooting so that you won't be hit by the beam if he does fire. You can also stand on the blocks. You still need to develop a rhythm to shoot him as he jumps, but you'll be safe from most of the cycle of the beams fired from ground level.
Wily 3 (and probably other places) has some sort of glitch where you can spawn Guts blocks out of thin air where the previously thrown blocks used to be. I don't know how to exactly do it but I was able to do it reliably back when I was good at this game.
I love that you demonstrate using the special weapons in the stage. So many players stubbornly only use the basic weapon for everything which I feel is boring to watch. You show more content doing it this way. You’re great!
Really great work with all the videos. Thank you for this!
Thanks Ted!
I love your videos. I can't stop watching them. ^^
thank you, friend. i beat the game for the first time today, completely glitchless, thanks to you :^)
thanks for this video! You helped me be able to beat my first mega man game!
Easily my favourite NES series. I remember my Dad beating everyone with just the Mega Buster because we didn't know what the letters meant in the select screen haha.
As a kid, I used to be scared of the Wily stages so I'd always hang back and go back into the levels and mess around with the weapons.
When I rented this, I never knew about the magnet beam. Which made the game impossibly hard. I played the hell out of this game and managed to get to the end, but there was a section that REQUIRED the magnet beam that had me stumped.
Love the megafacts between levels!!
Thanks for learning a new boss order that is very effective :)
You’re like the Bob Ross of walkthroughs. I often turn the sound down because the voice overs are so grating and irritating! You are calm and bring so much to the video! Thank you!!
Followed this guide and beat the game last night!
Thank you for your help! I’ve beaten so many games.
Starting with fire is interesting, I usually start with elec man as he's easy and I also find his weapon really good (has less total ammo than fire though)
The biggest issue with starting with Elec man is you have to come back for the Magnet Beam. Not a bad strategy otherwise, tho!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Unless you learn the ladder glitch in order to get magnet beam without gutsman or elecmans weapon 😄 But that may be a bit overkill. That trick is hard and it’s easy to softlock the game.
I wasted so much of my parents money renting this game and failing getting any farther in this game. Thanks for the nostilgia
Love this channel. even games I didn't care for I leave on in other tabs as a ASMIR like effect, lol... hopefully you will eventually play Low G Man and Captain Skyhawk
Love the content, keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying it!
It's Cut Man. I look forward to playing this again with your strategy.
34 years.. Keep on fighting Megaman!!
I know it's been a while since I watched this video. The "Mega Facts" you have here were nice. I wish you would have kept that going. Still, great job.
Getting fireman's weapon first really does help make the rest of the game easier. Also, the pattern you pointed out on the boss of Wily Stage 1 helped me finally beat it without using the pause trick. Also, Wily's 2nd form the cutman weapon works better.
Thanks! Finally beat this game
im gonna comment every time i watch one of your videos I'm so glad i found this channel
Thanks for this i gave up on this series fir awhile because how hard it is
Dang, all these years and I didn't realize that fire man was so easy to take out. I always did cut man first...
I was never able to beat Yellow Devil without using the select cheat. Thanks for making it look easy. Been binging your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks!! Honestly, there's not a lot of information out there about how to beat the Yellow Devil without cheating. Its one of the reasons I wanted to make this video!
Glad you're enjoying the channel!
@ajre82 It can be beaten with the Plasma Buster only along with the dissue of the select button. The pattern goes like this, the alloy orbs can only be avoided by jumping. There are 19 alloy orbs to avoid but it requires extreme hand-eye coordination and more importantly, patience. The orbs you need to jump over is 1,3,6,9 and 10 overlaps,14, and 18. Just remember to be calm and take your time, should you have the sanity to do so. At full health(28 units total) you can only get hit 7 times(loses 4 units each).Remember the numerical pattern and stand your ground.
You're really cool at these games keep it up
FINALLY BEAT IT! FINALLYY!!!!! Once you get the Yellow Devil down, the next hardest part is getting past Guts man and the 4-boss gauntlet. A few tries with Wily and you can learn that fight.
Congratulations!!
2 is remembered for its music but I think 1's music is great too.
I rented this as a kid and I think I just got past the Yellow Devil before I had to take the game back. So I guess I did pretty good? It's so much fun to see someone complete the game though!
Cutsman...
"Cutsman's the name, cutting's my game... and I don't mean hair!"
Although I've also beaten all Mega Man games as you have, I believe that you're the better player and you know all the useful tips to beat the game in a much easier way, because I used to struggle and beat all levels here as the basic/original mega man and I'd save the abilities of the defeated bosses only in boss fights. Given that I was a little surprised to see you lose a life during the Fire Man level. I'm a very big fan of your channel and I love to watch you play all these classics that I also used to play and show us all the tips and tricks along the way.
Woo, coincidentally watching this on the first birthday of its upload!
In the last 24 hours I watched your Mega Man 2 playthrough, then Mega Man 3, and now I'm most of the way through your Mega Man 1 playthrough. In watching 2 and 3 I was like...these are barely "games". And now, in watching 1, I'm like, ah yes, there's the brutality I grew up with. Now *this* is a game. *This* is something you will have to practice at in order to defeat. *This* will punish mistakes. lol!
nice vid and stragedies..:D never get through yellow devil on nes (maybe once but used all my lives on it and died on next section lol) on emulator finally got through the game...
( rented only mm1 since it was not sold anymore when i got nes as little so didn´t had time to finnish the game since fustration of yellow demon lol but i still own mm 2-5 never got mm6 since was canging to comp at that time..) thanks for great playthrough and advices greetings from finland
I knew that in Mega Man 2 you can just beat Metal Man and then just use his weapon for the rest of the game, but I didn't know there was a similar trick in Mega Man 1.
Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thanks, SImon!
in the early 90's as kids we would make notes on what bosses to take out in a certain order, oh the fun, megaman was called rockman in our country of south africa
The first Mega Man game that I beat was Mega Man 8, and it's also one of my favorites.
