Since this the rest of this stage is an autoscroller, this is your only chance to "go faster" in this stage. Although part two does feature a death warp, remember that taking hits in part one will cost you some time, even if you needed to lose the health anyw...

There are no checkpoints on the sled, so be careful. Remember from Frost Man's stage - you can ball jump on the sled with minimal effort. New to this sled section - you can use Astro Crush to pause Mega Man's decent. Keep this and Ball Jumping in mind as bac...

First Screen Ice Wave Second Screen - Climb Ball jumping. Use the middle mine afte rthe first floating time bomb to jump up instead of ball jumping the full distance, to save a mega ball for later. Second Screen - Long Spike Passage The money jump timing...

You must have Thunder Claws for this section You want to have an extra life going into Wily 2. If for some reason you have 0 Lives left, collect the 1up over the boss door. After getting off the sled, swap to ice wave, slide four times, then use an ice wave....

There are two bolts in this half of the stage. Only 1 is collected in Any% Remember the Mega Ball can be carried in front of Mega Man, letting you charge the buster while killing "dribbling" the ball to defeat an enemy. The first section of this stage is one...

Remember that ball jumps are almost free on the sled. Simply hold jump and fire Mega Balls in front of Mega Man. Both bolts are collected in any%. Ball jumping can make the jump after the first bolt easier/safer at no time loss. The second bolt is not specifi...

Mind the wind at your back. Going left against the wind is difficult. Ball jumping while facing left at the end of the bubble climb is near impossible. The first bolt in the stage is technically slower than others, but it's the fastest bolt not collected in a...

General Jet Tips With the exception of the mid boss, these are auto scroller sections. Nothing you do (such as enemy kill times, again except the mid boss) makes things faster or slower. In the first half, Flash Grenade explosions "zoom off screen." In the s...

You stayed in the bottom right after getting the bolt before getting off rush jet, right? This actually saves a small amount of time. Bubble Climb 2 The second half's bubble climb requires a little finesse but can be done damageless. Go to the right a slight...

There are 4 bolts in part 2. One is collected in any% (and is harder to avoid collecting than to collect it). One hard requires a revisit, however 2 are routed into the 40 Bolts revisit. Note that the final screen Clown Climb is on the following page of this ...

For 40 Bolts, and intentional Game Over is used for optimal bolt gathering. There is a branching path with a checkpoint, each paths with a bolt.  First Three Screens Use Grenades and the buster as needed to pass the snails on the first screens. For 40 Bolts...

For the two routes (Pharoah First or Bright First), there are two strategies for this screen. For either one, note that Mega Man might sink slightly between slides if your timing is not perfect. Expect to have a small hop every 3 to 5 slides. Bright First T...

Note - this is also where you respawn after collecting Balloon. Spike Platforms The platforms fire shots in each direction until you jump on them, then float across the spikes. This makes the section somewhat auto-scroller-like, however you can save a small ...

Like the checkpoint screen, you want to land on platforms as soon as possible to prevent shots, however this is not always possible. Mummy heads can fly forward at 3 angles, straight ahead, or high or low at about 30 degrees. Keep this in mind as you approach...

Screen 2 - Grasshoppers The second screen of Bright Man features Grasshoppers. They can jump at two speeds - fast needing 2 jumps before they turn around, or slow requiring 3 jumps. On the slow pattern for the second grasshopper, you can make an early jump t...

The checkpoint screen of Bright is the infamous grasshopper screen. There are two strats through here. There is a ladder going down to a side room with an E-Tank. This is completely ignored in the speedrun. Normal - No Balloons Switch to Pharaoh Shot at thi...

The last screen has a set of swooping platforms. It is likely to be played in the dark, as it is full of the enemies that turn off the lights. The Enemies The first enemy is a tight shot. Angle up with Pharaoh, or use a charged shot to hit it. Other enemies...
