As is tradition, you must fight all 8 Robot Masters again here. The teleporters are laid out the same as the stage select, with the first 4 on the left and the second 4 on the right. Order is not significantly important, though optimal movement involves using...

Wily Machine 8 Wily Capsule 8 This is the most likely place a runner will need to call upon Rush Medic. This has a Red Cross on the PS1 version and is a white box on the Legacy Collection release. Summoning Rush Medic tends to lose about 8 seconds of time, b...

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...

Whether first or second, the first section (nay, the whole first half) of Bright Man's stage is the same Movement on this screen is fairly precise, and the timing of kills matters to avoid the lights going out at the wrong time. For example, the first shot...

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...

The first section of Ring Man's stage goes up. These strats largely depend on having balloon. If you do not and are still playing (presumably a no reset scenario), Bright is the ultimate backup for all things MM4. Screen 1 As soon as Mega Man teleports in, p...

Mega Man 4 is known for extremely long meter filling. However, damaging a boss while it's life meter is filling will cause the animation to instantly complete. There are two points in the run where this can be done. Tako Trash (Wily 2 boss) Wily Machine ph...

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...

While Dr. Wily's pattern is RNG, randomness in Mega Man 9 and 10 is determined by number of frames since beam-in. As such, if you always move to Wily in EXACTLY the same way, you will always get the same pattern. This often seems like weird unnecessary movemen...

Hold A on Beam In At stage start (or other beam ins, like the teleporter room), hold A to immediately jump right (or left). Holding the direction creates a few frames of "start up" walking animation. "Buffering" the jump saves a few seconds across the run. J...

Mega Man 10's RNG is mostly* determined by time since stage start. This means some randomness can be pre-determined by how long it takes to reach a point in the stage by the frame. Since frame perfect movement over long periods of time is nearly impossible, th...

Rain Screen Manip As mentioned in RNG Manipulation - moving the same way through a screen to the frame, and killing the same number of enemies, results in the same RNG value. Movement through the rain screen (holding A to jump at beam in) and not stopping res...

There are two Whoppers in Ring Man's stage. The first MUST be destroyed to advance. The second (coincidently the final enemy in the stage before Ring Man himself) can be skipped. Fastest Strat - Pharaoh Boost The fastest Way of destroying the first Whopper i...
