Wily Star - Wily Machine

The intended strategy for this boss is to push the time bombs against the body with buster, letting the explosions damage it. It takes 7 bombs. The bombs may jump back and forth over Mega Man. This is not the speedrun strat.

Wily 2 Skip

For unknown reasons, killing phase 1 a specific way skips phase 2.

Method 1

2 Neutral Slides will put Mega Man into position to use Saturn to damage the Wile Machine.

Slide into position, use Saturn, then switch weapons (to cancel Saturn) then switch back to Saturn. Repeat for 4 hits.

Method 2

This was the primary method until it was noticed you could just slide twice. It also works if you are somehow moved out of position.

Immediately use a Pluto Break Dash when tehthe fight starts, and walk into the boss with your iframes. Pause the game, switch to Saturn Black Hole, use Saturn. This should do about 25% of Wily's health in damage.

Pause cancel Saturn, and repeat this technique. You may be able to pause and switch back to Saturn multiple times without needing another Pluto Dash.

Super Game Boy Oddity

Super Game Boy (one and two) seems to pause significantly faster than other versions here. This has not been thoroughly investigated.

Phase 2 backup

The ceiling spikes are not instantly fatal. Use Earth Spark Chaser to end Wily fast.
