Go to Dr. Light's lab and purchase a Mystery Tank, then go to Acid Man's stage and shoot the first spider twice with the Mega Buster. This will cause it to spawn 6 mini-spider bots. After they land, immediately open the menu and select the Mystery Tank, and watch in amazement as all eight of the spiders transform into 1-Ups!

In the first area of Block Man's stage there is a Large Screw that is is worth 100 screws. If you keep grabbing it and exiting the level you will be able to gain enough screws to buy anything in Dr. Light's Lab before you even finish the first stage.

When Speed Gear is used time will slow down for Mega Man allowing him to avoid spikes and other hazards. Speed Gear will also allow Mega Man to fire his weapons rapidly while enemies move in slow motion. Power Gear increases the power of Mega Man's weapons and Double Gear gives you both perks at once. When a gear is being used Mega Man starts to overheat as indicated by a gauge above him, which slowly builds up the longer he uses a gear. The gauge can be cooled down by deactivating these gears and if it overheats all Gear Systems will be lost temporarily.

The Rush Jet will become unlocked once you have defeated at least four of the Robot Master bosses. Once unlocked Rush will appear and transform into a flying sled which Mega Man can ride, his rear legs becoming jet thrusters. The Rush Jet allows Mega Man to traverse areas quickly, without touching the ground and can also be used in mid-air.

There are some unlockable items hidden in the in-game shop that become unlocked by finishing the game's story mode to the end (this includes defeating Dr. Wily). Once you have achieved this the hidden items in the shop will become available to buy at a price of three thousand Bolts.

Awakening Chip (Infinite): Infinite Weapon Energy for completing the game.
Cooling System (Infinite): Infinite Double Gear Time for completing the game.

During battle you can quickly cycle through the various weapons by using the shoulder buttons or alternately, use the right analog stick to quickly select a specific weapon.

You get this Rush ability by default at the start of the game. When used Rush will appear and a coil platform will emerge from his body which can be ued to propel Mega Man to higher areas by jumping on the coil. As long as you have any amount of Rush Meter you will be able to summon Rush.
