comment
The first of five Mega Man (Classic) games for the Game Boy, Dr. Wily's Revenge (known as Rockman World in Japan) features the bare minimum of a plot, even compared to the other Mega Man games. In a nutshell, Dr. Wily is smarting at having his backside kicked in the first two Mega Man games, and has rebuilt four of the Robot Masters he built for the first game, and four from the second. And so, the Blue Bomber sets out to stop his arch-nemesis once again, unaware that Wily has a secret weapon intended to stop him once and for all — Enker, the "Mega Man Killer."In addition to being the first portable Mega Man game, Dr. Wily's Revenge was the first title in which Capcom outsourced the development to another company, namely Minakuchi Engineering, who would subsequently develop the third through fifth Game Boy outings (plus Mega Man: The Wily Wars note known as Rockman Mega World in Japan for the Sega Genesis and the Game Boy's version of Bionic Commando; Mega Man II was instead outsourced to Thinking Rabbit Inc.). This paved the way for other third-party developers to handle future Mega Man outings.Robot Masters from Mega Man: DLN-003: Cut Man, gives you Rolling Cutter. DLN-005: Ice Man, gives you Ice Slasher. DLN-007: Fire Man, gives you Fire Storm. DLN-008: Elec Man, gives you Thunder Beam.Guts Man and Bomb Man sadly didn't make the cut for this or any other Game Boy game; this led to some degree of fan outrage, particularly with regard to the former (and likely led to him getting a Suspiciously Similar Substitute, Uranus, in Mega Man V).Robot Masters from Mega Man 2: DWN-011: Bubble Man, gives Bubble Lead. DWN-012: Quick Man, gives Quick Boomerang. DWN-014: Flash Man, gives the Time Stopper. DWN-015: Heat Man, gives the Atomic Fire.The remaining four Robot Masters from 2 were held over for the following Game Boy outing.New for this game: MKN-001: Enker, gives Mirror Buster

Violation of Common Sense: Cut Man's jumping patterns may be hard to discern, until one realizes that he jumps whenever he's right next to Mega Man, meaning the best way to dodge Cut Man is to walk right into him.

Unwinnable by Design: The Wily Machine's second form is immune to everything but the Mirror Buster. If you happen to run out during the fight, you're screwed — even if you die, the checkpoint puts you right back at the Wily Machine with no enemies to farm ammo from (and the Cutting Wheels the first form summons move too fast to kill either way).

 Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (Video Game) / int_35743edc
comment
Further setting it apart is its unusual Boss Corridor design. Rather than the standard hallway with a large door on either end, this game has a vertical drop into the right side of the corridor with one door in the middle, followed by another pit on the left dropping you into the boss room. The rest of the Game Boy series would use more traditional horizontal corridors.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the only Game Boy game to lack E-Tanks, the slide, and Rush, despite Mega Man 3 being released almost a year prior. It's also the shortest of the Game Boy games by far, as the second set of Robot Masters lack their own stages (instead being encountered in a traditional Boss Rush in Wily Castle). Further setting it apart is its unusual Boss Corridor design. Rather than the standard hallway with a large door on either end, this game has a vertical drop into the right side of the corridor with one door in the middle, followed by another pit on the left dropping you into the boss room. The rest of the Game Boy series would use more traditional horizontal corridors.

Nintendo Hard
 Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (Video Game) / int_62259825
comment
Nintendo Hard: Often regarded as the hardest Mega Man game, ever, which is really saying something considering what competition it's up against. Basically, imagine everything that made the first NES game hard, ramp the tricky level designs up to eleven, then make it so that item drops by destroyed enemies are exceptionally rare, to the point where it's not at all uncommon to complete a level without ever getting a single energy refill. The one saving grace is that there's a password system, though even that won't take you any further than the start of the first Wily Stage.

Marathon Level
 Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9
comment
Marathon Level: Both Wily stages are particularly lengthy. Wily Castle not only requires you to beat a very difficult stage, but also fight the four Mega Man 2 bosses at the end, as well as newcomer Enker, and unlike most Mega Man games where the boss rush is its own level that you can restart from if you get a Game Over, getting a Game Over here sends you right back to the start of Wily Castle. Wily Station at least only contains the one boss fight, but the stage is far longer, being the only stage in the game that has two mid-level checkpoints as opposed to the standard single one.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The game stars Mega Man, Dr. Wily is his arch-enemy, and Wily is out for revenge. Which, granted, is true of every Mega Man game after the first one, but if nothing else you can't accuse this game of false advertising.

Boss Bonanza: The first Dr. Wily stage ends with a room full of teleporters that lead to boss fights, just like in the NES games, but instead of leading to rematches with the four Robot Masters Mega Man has defeated up to that point, these teleporters lead to battles with four of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. Once they have all been defeated, a new teleporter appears, leading to one more new boss battle with Enker.

 Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (Video Game) / int_c09dbbbb
comment
Weaksauce Weakness: The weaknesses have been shifted around a bit to compensate for the different Robot Master lineup, though the trope still applies as normal. However, most of the Robot Masters from the second NES game are immune to the weapons of those from the first game (except for Flash Man being weak to Ice Slasher), and Enker is completely immune to everything bar the Mega Buster...which he can reflect back at Mega Man if shot at the wrong time (technically Enker's affected by the Time Stopper, but it won't achieve anything beyond freezing him in place until your weapon energy runs out).

Revenge of the Sequel: Not on the title screen, but on the game's packaging. Oddly enough, unused sprites show that at one stage Capcom were going to call the game Mega Man World, in line with the Japanese version, but for some reason changed it to Dr. Wily's Revenge before release.

11th-Hour Superpower: Enker's Mirror Buster is a powerful Attack Reflector, but you're only ever given the opportunity to play with it in the final stage — and since the Final Boss can only be damaged with it, you aren't encouraged to use it willy-nilly. To a lesser extent, all the Mega Man 2 weapons are this, as you're also only able to use them in the final stage (and against the other Mega Man 2 bosses).
