2) IMPORTANT INFO
==================
This section contains info on the Boss Order, Weapons, Teleport Layout, 
and Passwords.

----------
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!
 __          __
|  |        |  |
|QU|        |BU|
|__|   __   |__|
|  |  |  |  |  |
|FL|  |EN|  |HE|
|__|  |__|  |__|

---------
Passwords
---------
Cut Man Defeated: A4 - B3 - C4 - D3 - D4
Ice Man Defeated: A1 - A2 - B2 - B3 - D4
Elec Man Defeated: A2 - A4 - B3 - D1 - D2
Fire Man Defeated: A1 - B1 - B2 - C4 - D2 
Wily Stage: A1 - A3 - B4 - C2 - C3

===================
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 thing 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.
