The second of the five Mega Man games to be released on the Game Boy. Mega Man II (aka Rockman World 2) may have almost the same name as Mega Man 2, but it's a very different game. Releasing just five months after Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, it was developed by Thinking Rabbit Inc., and was the only Mega Man game the company would ever work on, with all future Game Boy installments going back to Minakuchi Engineering, developers of the first game.Dr. Wily has used a stolen time machine to travel into the future, and brought back some rebuilt versions of the Robot Masters from the second and third NES games. Along with the Robot Masters, Wily has brought back Mega Man's own future self, who has been corrupted into an evil robot known as Quint, who is armed with the Sakugarne, a deadly cross between a jackhammer and a pogo stick.The gameplay is much the same as in the NES Mega Man 3, meaning that E Tanks, the slide move, and Rush are introduced for this entry. In addition, it introduced what would become the standard format for the rest of the Game Boy installments, with an additional set of four full Robot Master levels and fights following the first set (as opposed to the previous game, where the second set of Robot Masters are all fought in a Boss Bonanza with no additional stages).Robot Masters from Mega Man 2: DWN-009: Metal Man, gives Metal Blade DWN-010: Air Man, gives Air Shooter DWN-013: Crash Mannote (called "Clash Man" in this game), gives Crash Bombernote (or "Clash Bomber") DWN-016: Wood Man, gives the Leaf ShieldRobot Masters from Mega Man 3: DWN-017: Needle Man, gives Needle Cannon DWN-018: Magnet Man, gives Magnet Missile DWN-020: Hard Man, gives Hard Knuckle DWN-021: Top Man, gives Top SpinThe remaining Robot Masters from 3 NES were held over until the following Game Boy outing.New for this game: ???-???: Quint, gives Sakugarne | |

After Boss Recovery | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_15df66d9 | comment |
After Boss Recovery: Starting with the 3 NES Robot Masters, while you'll still get health refills after defeating each Robot Master (and Quint), you'll no longer get weapon energy refills and will have to rely on item drops from the enemies. Many fans actually appreciated this, feeling that it added an element of strategy to an otherwise ridiculously easy game and forced careful management of weapon energy during the second half, and this mechanic would later reappear in Mega Man IV and Mega Man V. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: As with the previous (and following) game, the only way to understand the plot is to read the manual. The Japanese manual gives more backstory than the localized Western one; Wily originally intended to use the stolen time machine to go back in time to before the events of the first game and launch a secret attack. However, the time machine was seriously flawed, and even with his modifications, it could only travel to the future and back. | |

Chicken Walker: The first form of the Wily Machine is Wily's spaceship attached to a pair of backwards bending legs. In this form, it can jump toward Mega Man. | |

| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: The Wily Machine has three forms. After each form is destroyed, Wily's spaceship will detach from the previous form before flying away and coming back with a new attachment. The first form has his ship attached to a pair of legs, the second is attached to tank treads, and the final form is a dinosaur-like robot. | |

Sequel Escalation: This game is larger in scope than Dr. Wily's Revenge, thanks to introducing a second set of Robot Master levels along with Rush and the Slide maneuver from Mega Man 3. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Considering the later Mega Man sequel series that take place across the coming centuries, it's pretty bizarre to see Wily just casually going to the future and back. This is the first Game Boy game where the second set of Robot Masters have dedicated stages, but they are accessed through a teleporter room instead of a level select, with no indicator of which Robot Master is in each teleporter. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Like Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, the second set of Robot Masters are accessed from identical teleporters. However, there's no way to tell which teleporter leads where until they're used, making it almost impossible to follow their weakness loop without a guide. The only saving grace is you're given a level to play through to get yourself a chance to heal up, stock up on weapon energy, and earn bonuses before the boss. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Quint just teleports out after you battle him, and is never seen or mentioned again. Presumably with Wily's plot foiled, either the timeline which led to Quint's creation ceased to exist, or he was changed back to Rock and returned to his own time. | |

| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: While Dr. Wily appears in his normal size while outside of the Wily Machine, during the final battle, his Wily Machine is smaller than usual, which has the added effect of Wily being depicted as smaller than Mega Man himself. | |

Time for Plan B | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_a2e4af42 | comment |
Time for Plan B: The Japanese manual states Wily initially planned to go back in time to before Mega Man's creation, and launch a surprise attack. When the flawed time machine could only go to the future and back, however, he settled for abducting the future Mega Man and remodeling him into Quint. | |

Hitbox Dissonance | |
| Mega Man II (Video Game) / int_a5e998f0 | comment |
Hitbox Dissonance: The game's hit detection is notoriously spotty in both directions, meaning that enemies can damage Mega Man despite his not appearing to touch them, while Mega Man's own shots can either no do any damage despite making contact, or destroy an enemy even when his aim seems slightly out. That said, the easy difficulty means this is more of a minor inconvenience than anything else; it only really becomes a problem in the final level (and Crash Man's to a lesser extent), where shooting enemies while on ladders can be difficult. Quint can be damaged by firing at the area above his head for a few early hits before he even calls his Sakugarne in and starts attacking. Needle Man's hammer attack has a smaller hitbox than its animation would suggest, so it often appears to go right through Mega Man without dealing damage. | |
