| Section | Info |
|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
|Spoilers | A couple of things you should know. First of all, I |
| |have written this guide a specific order so that I will|
| |not spoil storyline for anybody. The walkthrough has no|
| |spoilers in it(Meaning I do NOT say "Walk into this |
| |room and then watch as Roll gets killed"). |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Finding What | On your browser if you hit "Ctrl-F" a dialogue box |
|You Want | pops up, and then if you type in the key words (AKA |
| | typing "Shining" or "Powered Buster" or "Water") then |
| | clicking "find" you will be directed to every point in|
| | my FAQ with that word! |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Story | The "story" section is what you should know BEFORE you|
| | play, and contains no spoilers. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Weapons | The Weapons section does contain spoilers about what |
| | weapons you can get, yes, so just don't read it if you|
| | want to be surprised about each weapon ;). Each weapon|
| | is listed, along with its Attack, Energy, Range, |
| | Rapid, Special and what parts you need, and where to |
| | get them. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Movement | "Movement" is a section describing the unique way the |
| | movement works in Mega Man 64 (whoda thunk it). |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Characters" describes the important characters in |
|Characters | little detail, just enough so that you understand who |
| | they are when I refer to them in my walkthrough. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Map Markers" is VERY important, and should be read by|
|Map Markers | beginners and experts alike. It describes an effective|
| | and timesaving tactic to exploring dungeons. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Before You | "Before You Read The Walkthrough" explains itself (I |
|Read the | would hope). Highlights include where to look for |
|Walkthrough | treasures and what the terms used in the guide mean |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Walkthrough" is a detailed guide in which I have laid|
| | out a way to play through the entire game and get |
|Walkthrough | every single piece of equipment, every weapon and |
| | every part and not have to do any major backtracking. |
| | It contains detailed information on how to beat each |
| | boss, where to go and how to accomplish every task. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Speed Walkthrough" is a guide divided into three |
| | sections. The first one (Highlighted Walkthrough) |
| | describes generally what you have to do to get a |
| | perfect game, without going into any detail. Go there |
|Speed | if you just want to know what you have to do, but not |
|Walkthrough | how to do it. The second section (8 Hour Mark) |
| | describes how to beat the game on hard mode in under |
| | eight hours, so you can get the new-game prizes. The |
| | last section (2 hour mark) describes how to quickly |
| | beat the game in times as low as 1hr and a half. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Clarification" is where I try to explain the entire |
|Clarification| story of Mega Man 64, and the extended story that Mega|
| | Man Legends Two offers. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Buster Parts And Items" err... describes the buster |
|Buster Parts | parts and items... |
|And Items | |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
| | "Special Tricks" are tricks that do not require you to|
|Special | use codes or a game shark, but are special ways you |
|Tricks | can play that will give you a natural advantage. |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Codes And | Where you find codes and secrets ^_~ |
|Secrets | |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Credits | Where I give credit to those who deserve it |
|_____________|_______________________________________________________|
|Special | Where I credit those who played a MAJOR part in my |
|Thanks | guide |

|The Story So Far |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|This is definitely one of the most confusing story lines that one |
|will ever come across, but I will explain it to the best of my |
|ability. Note that this is only a look at what you should know BEFORE|
|you play. If you have beat the game and are confused over the story |
|line, go down to "Clarifications" and I will try to clear you up. The|
|story takes place in a world similar to ours. The only main |
|difference is that their money and power source come from little |
|gem-crystal things called "Refractors" ("Refractors" used as money |
|are called "Zenny"). There are people called "Diggers" who go into |
|ancient ruins and try to find refractors and other treasures that |
|will better human life. It is a very dangerous job, because in these |
|ruins are machines called "Reaverbots" that try to stop you at all |
|costs. Nobody knows where the Reaverbots come from, why they are |
|where they are or their purpose, they just bust your butt whenever |
|you enter their ruins. That's really all the story you know when you |
|first turn your N64 on. |
|_____________________________________________________________________|
-----------------------------<Weapons>---------------------------------
--------------------------------<3>------------------------------------
_____________________________________________________________________
|1) Normal Arm |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|You start out with this arm, which is obvious because it is, yes, |
|just your right arm. But it gets even more confusing. When using your|
|Normal Arm, you kick ;). So, this is actually your right foot, but we|
|will just ignore this minor flaw ^_^ |
|_____________________________________________________________________|
|Attack | Ok, but, not exceptional in any way. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Energy | Infinite, it is not that hard to kick ;) |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Range | As long as Mega Man's leg. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Rapid | About a one second pause between kicks. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Special| If you use this on a vending machine, you get free soda. If |
| | you use this on a trashcan and the lid doesn't fly that mean|
| | that there is something in it, and if you get mad you can |
| | kick something ;) |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Parts | You start out with both your foot AND your arm!!!!! |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
_____________________________________________________________________
|2) Machine Buster |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|This gun is exactly like a machine gun (fancy that). It has very high|
|rate if fire and pretty darned good range, but it's power is super |
|low. Not a very good weapon, but it can be useful in the first stages|
|of the game. |
|_____________________________________________________________________|
|Attack | Low to medium- definitely not a power weapon |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Energy | High, it is hard to get drained when using this |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Range | Not spectacular, but still very good |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Rapid | Very very. It is a machine gun after all |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Special| The bullets spread so you can hit multiple enemies. The |
| | spread is lame, and this weapon is medium power only when |
| | you don't let it spread. When it does spread, you're |
| | basically dividing a weak weapon into more pieces, so my |
| | advice is just not update the spread. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Parts | Blumebear Parts: Found in Downtown in a trashcan after you |
| | have completed the city hall mission. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
_____________________________________________________________________
|3) Powered Buster |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|This Weapon has VERY good power and AMAZING range. Great on bosses |
|because you can stand back VERY far and blow them up to smithereens. |
|It isn't great if you're up close, but that's what your left-hand is |
|for, right? |
|_____________________________________________________________________|
|Attack | VERY good, powerful enough to make a dent in a boss's |
| | confidence |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Energy | Doesn't get too high, but high enough to get you through the|
| | battles you use it in |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Range | Best in the game. You can kill things that you can't even |
| | see |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Rapid | About one to two seconds between shots |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Special| This gun's range is to be utilized if you want it to be |
| | effective. This gun cannot be used while moving, but after |
| | you fire your blast you regain motion. If you upgrade |
| | special, I believe the explosion and fire ball get bigger. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Parts | Cannon Kit: Found in ruins outside of the last sub-gate |
| | (outside of the area you fought the Bonnes in their digging |
| | machine). It is in a chest, and you do not need the drill or|
| | the high jump to get it. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
_____________________________________________________________________
|4) Drill Arm |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|This gun is unique to say the least. It probably has the best attack |
|in the game, (explained below) but I do not use it as a weapon. This |
|gun is mainly used to knock down the weak walls in dungeons, and that|
|is all I ever use it for ;) |
|_____________________________________________________________________|
|Attack | Second or First most powerful (see Rapid) |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Energy | When fully upgraded, it has infinite energy. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Range | ZERO. You can only use this on something RIGHT UP TO YOUR |
| | FACE. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Rapid | What makes this gun so powerful. It's a drill, meaning, it |
| | is CONSTANTLY active; if you hold the button you just stand |
| | there drilling, and any enemy in front of you gets damaged |
| | EVERY SECOND IT'S ON. Only problem is the drill is tiny and |
| | you need to look right up a reaverbot's nose before you can |
| | hit them. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Special| There are orange walls in dungeons (on the map they are |
| | bluish greenish) and they can be drilled through to reach |
| | hidden areas. In these areas are essential weapon parts, |
| | buster parts, etc. This weapon is just used to get these |
| | things, it isn't really for combat. |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
|Parts | Blunted Drill: Found in Main Gate where the three lion- |
| | reaverbots are. It is in a chest (it is not hard to miss) |
|_______|_____________________________________________________________|
