Wily 4 Beginner Strats

Finding False Floors with Bubble

Several screens in the first half of the stage have false floors. While skilled runners likely have these locations memorized, you can use Bubble to locate them ; Bubble will fall through the gaps.

The E-Tank

The E-Tank room before the checkpoint contains false floors. The easiest way to get the E-Tank is to use Item 1 from the middle level to reach the top level.

Leaf Shield on Elevator

The Leaf Shield will destroy Teles without despawning. Remember the leaf shield does not fly away until you push a direction on the D-Pad, so you can stand still on a platform, or even push A to drop from a ladder, without losing your leaf shield.

Air and Quick Boomerangs on Mechs

Quick Boomerang is the most effective way of defeating the Mechs and Sniper Joes in the final screen. Air Shooter is also very effective against the mechs, but we recommend Quick for its effectiveness against both the mech and the Joe.
