2)   IMPORTANT INFORMATION
=======================================================================
This section contains various information about the game.

----------
Boss Order
----------
Here is the order that would be the easiest to beat the eight Robot Masters:

Group 1: 
1st - Fire Man
2nd - Cut Man
3rd - Elec Man
4th - Ice Man

Group 2:
1st - Flash Man
2nd - Quick Man
3rd - Bubble Man
4th - Heat Man

-------
Weapons
-------
Here are descriptions of the weapons:

Rolling Cutter (CU) - Fires a cut blade that comes back like a boomerang. Can 
                      cause multiple hits.

Thunder Beam (EL) - Three waves of electricity are fired up, down, and forward 
                    at once.

Ice Slasher (IC) - Just shoots ice that is shaped like a spear.

Fire Storm (FI) - Launches a fireball forward while creating a shield of 
                  flames for a few seconds.

Carry (CA) - Not really a weapon. Creates a platform that you use to reach 
             higher ledges.

Atomic Fire (HE) - Can be charged to one of three levels. The higher the 
                   level, the more damage is caused, but more energy is used.

Time Stopper (FL) - The screen starts to "sparkle", and freezes some 
                    enemies until the weapon's energy runs out. 

Quick Boomerang (QU) - Fire up to three boomerangs that come back at you. Hold 
                       in "B" to keep on firing. This weapon uses very little 
                       weapon energy.

Bubble Lead (BU) - Fires a bubble. Amazing, isn't it? :)

Mirror Buster (EN) - This weapon is pretty cool. When you use it, a shield 
                     appears in front of you. When an enemy hits you with 
                     an attack, the shield reflects the attack and creates 
                     a small spear to hit the enemy.

-----------------
Teleporter Layout
-----------------
  Here's what Robot you'll find in the four teleporters in the Wily Stage. 
The first two letters of each Robot will be in their teleporter (Example: 
Quick Man - QU).

NOTE: The teleporter for Enker appears once you've defeated the other four 
      Robots!

=======================================================================
3)   BOSS STRATEGIES
=======================================================================
NOTE: The order of these bosses is the same as the list in the "Important 
Info" section.

-------------
Robot Masters
-------------
BOSS #1 - Fire Man
Recommended Weapon: Arm Cannon (P)
Weakness: Ice Slasher (IC)
Weapon Received: Fire Storm (FI)

  Fire Man is easy even with the Arm Cannon! Once he starts to shoot walls of 
fire at you, just jump over them. Then when you land shoot him once. This 
process will keep repeating so it shouldn't be too difficult.

BOSS #2 - Cut Man
Recommended Weapon: Fire Storm (FI)
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Rolling Cutter (CU)

  This guy can be a pain since he jumps around so much. When Cut Man launches a 
Rolling Cutter at you, just jump over it and jump over it again once he comes 
back. When you use Fire Storm, try to make Cut Man get hit by the fire shield 
to cause extra damage.

BOSS #3 - Elec Man
Recommended Weapon: Rolling Cutter (CU)
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Thunder Beam (EL)

  Using the Rolling Cutter, fire it once, it should be able to hit Elec Man 
twice, which will decrease most of his energy meter. Fire it one more time to 
defeat him.

BOSS #4 - Ice Man
Recommended Weapon: Thunder Beam (EL)
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Ice Slasher (IC)

  With the Thunder Beam, fire it three times to defeat Ice Man!

BOSS #5 - Flash Man
Recommended Weapons: Arm Cannon (P) & Ice Slasher (IC)
Weakness: Atomic Fire (HE)
Weapon Received: Time Stopper (FL)

  Not much about this guy... When he uses Time Stopper, he'll shoot a shower of 
pellets at you, so try to get over him if you can. Just use Ice Slasher or the 
Arm Cannon if you run out of weapon energy.

BOSS #6 - Quick Man
Recommended Weapons: Time Stopper (FL) & Atomic Fire (HE)
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Quick Boomerang (QU)

  When this battle starts, use Time Stopper to freeze him. After all of its 
weapon energy is gone, about 1/2 of Quick Man's energy will be depleted. Then 
charge up Atomic Fire to the maximum level, fire it and Quick Man will be 
finished off! 

BOSS #7 - Bubble Man
Recommended Weapon: Quick Boomerang 
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Bubble Lead (BU)

  Not a whole lot to say about this guy. Since Quick Boomerang doesn't use much 
energy, you can just hold down the fire button. Also, the boomerangs move in a 
circular motion so that can help when trying to hit him.

BOSS #8 - Heat Man
Recommended Weapon: Bubble Lead (BU)
Weakness: Same as above
Weapon Received: Atomic Fire (HE)

  With Bubble Lead, he's simple! As soon as this starts, shoot a bubble at him. 
Then he'll teleport to your location. When he stops, shoot him again. This way 
he won't be able to hit you! Keep repeating, and you shouldn't have much 
trouble.

------------
Misc. Bosses
------------
BOSS - Enker
Recommended Weapon: Arm Cannon (only weapon that damages him)
Weakness: None
Weapon Received: Mirror Buster (EN)

  This boss is really strange. When Enker raises his sword, you attacks will be 
directed to it like a magnet. Then after a couple of seconds, he will fire an 
attack. The size of the attack will vary depending on how damage he absorbs 
from your shots. If you shoot him a lot, the attack will be harder to dodge 
than if you just hit him once.

WILY BOSS #1
Weakness: Atomic Fire (HE)

  This boss can be a little difficult. Once the battle begins, the mouth of the 
robot will open...launching Cutting Blades at random places. To make this a 
bit easier, try to stand in the middle of the space between the wall and the 
boss. When the enemies go high, walk under them. For the low ones, jump over 
them. Some are hard to dodge because they may launch straight at you. Try to 
charge Atomic Fire at the third level, but if you don't have the time use one 
shot. Remember that each small shot from Atomic Fire will cause two notches 
worth of damage.

WILY BOSS #2
Weakness: Mirror Buster (EN)

  This one is easy considering he's a final boss! When the robot fires a small 
laser, use the Mirror Buster to reflect it back. To dodge the claw that 
attacks at certain times, get close to the robot and move back once it starts 
to move. Then when you're back far enough, use the Mirror Buster.
