Episode 15
Mega Man 2 is the best selling game in the series, and one of the best games ever made for the NES!
But did you know it was almost never made?!?
In this video we'll see how Mega Man 2 was developed by a small team at Capcom that really believed in what they were making. Then we'll jump into a deep dive of the game!
We'll learn:
* How to beat EVERY boss, even the ones in Dr. Wily's Skull Castle! We will learn what weapons to use, and what patterns to expect.
* SECRETS of Mega Man's arsenal! We'll learn ways to use some of these weapons that you've never seen before!
* INFINITE weapon energy? We'll learn which weapons never need recharging!
* How to find TONS of extra lives and Energy Tanks. With this much help, we'll never get a Game Over!
* How to clear EVERY stage, and what order to do them in!
* Differences between the NORMAL and DIFFICULT modes, AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

As a dude in his 30's, this channel reminds me of the good ole NES days. Enjoying each video.
Nostalgia straight into the veins lol
Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying it!
even better for those of us in our 40's i think 30s missed what it was like when nintendo first came out and everyone was running around squirrel shit nutty trying to find one
I, too, am a dude in his 30's, and I concur with your statement, fellow-dude-in-his-thirties.
Dude no kidding. People don’t even know.
@@deputyblunderbusboondoggle1807 Oh, I remember! A kid up the road from me got one right away because his dad was into computers and liked video games too. He had every kid in the neighborhood in his living room every day after school for a couple weeks. Those were the days!
We the people hereby request you eventually do Mega Man 3 - 6 on the NES and even the challenging part 7 on SNES :)
The people have been heard, and I'm very happy to play the other Mega Man games. I'll be working them in every so often - they're some of my favorites. I wouldn't mind covering the first few Mega Man X games, either.
im hoping we get both nes and snes libraries eventually these vids have totally refired my love for pixelated vidja games 🤓
@@UCanBeatVideoGames I contacted you. I've done 'No Miss No Damage' on all of these games. Maybe we can do a collaboration on some of these! I'm mostly a Mega Man Critic, and I look at fan games. I'm also a QA tester for some of the more well known fan games such as Unlimited and Rock N Roll.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames is it x5 where sigma has 3 forms? which ever one that is, i always thought was one of the hardest
@@kmkkorn420
Sigma had 3 forms in X1 and X4.
Finished this today with my seven year old daughter watching your video on my iPhone - she coached me through what order to take the bosses in the teleporter room. :-) Love the videos!
This was one of my favourite games growing up and the soundtrack is still a banger.
The soundtrack is so good!
Still my favorite Megaman game.
Arguably the greatest 8-bit soundtrack.
@ 08:12 That part of the Flash Man stage music sounds exactly like that song from Sublime called 'Date Rape.' I guess Sublime were MegaMan 2 fans.
Probably my fav NES soundtrack! :D
Damn dude! You made this game feel like a cake walk. Back in the day, I never could finish the game thanks to Quick Man's lasers. Then again, I was 8 and the third game was right around the corner. Never did go back and finish it. Seeing this makes me want to do that now.
You should play it! It really is a Great game. I've played through this game so many times and I still learned stuff from this video.
Agree with Benable - this game has aged really well compared to many others. Still a lot of fun!
Agreed, we are all intimidated by these games because we played them when we were 8-12. Lots of extra brain resources these days hopefully :D
Beating quickmans stage in the laser section without the use of flashmans move was hard back in the day
Its more than a cakewalk on easy
When the music is just as good as the game. Masterpiece.
0:52 - And of course 20 years later, Pump Man became a reality in Mega Man 10
As did a few of the entries at 2:00 :)
I'm sure they'd always go back to these whenever they needed to make new games. Pretty cool to see them become a reality, though
Mm2 was a labor of love that defined an entire era of video games. One of 10 games I have a sealed copy of. Also leaf shield and birds or screws is a brilliant way of doing an infinite lives trick.
Also, not cheezy... one of the best nes endings ever.
The king of indecent exposure, lol. Nice
🤣
The very first Mega Man game I ever played (1991) and Flash Man was the first Robot Master stage I picked. Been hooked on Mega Man ever since.
This was definitely my first Mega Man game, too! I was so blown away by it that I had to check out the original.
Oh yeah one of the 1st games i ever played. Funny story, I had kind of a hacked version where I could kill Air Tikis by mistake with 1 shot with anything(bought the game at flea market). Imagine my surprise years later when I played it again xD
After binging your channel, all I can say is that dog has amazing taste in video games. Also seems to be a glutton for punisment considering its choices. Probably gets tired of that evil guy constantly grabbing its games.
🤣🤣🤣 He's a good boy
Has he beaten the Elite Four on Pokemon Blue?
This was my introduction to Mega man. Loved it ever since.
Me too , I didn’t play MM1 until years later
Im 43. Never owned a Nes, had a gamboy and snes. But missed nes games. Your channel has helped me enjoy metroid and now megaman 2! Love your video's. Thanks and keep em coming 👌
I played this game all the time. One of the best ever. Sound track rules!
Dude soundtrack is amazing! Gets me hyped!
Absolutely loving these videos. Especially the history section at the front. Could even split that into its own content before releasing the demo portion. Also love the tranquil, even-paced voiceover and the humor you inject. Bravo sir!
Thanks Carlo!!
I like this
ALOT
I have a soft spot for This game. This was the first in the mega man franchise I had ever played. What great memories…
There's one good trick to avoid being hit by the Boobeam Traps, much like MM1 pause trick. When they start flashing signaling they are going to shoot, start pressing the start button repeatedly to come in and out of the menu, the shots will not harm you that way.
Cool! I've seen some stuff where you can pause repeatedly to extend jumps and stuff, too. This game has so many hidden layers
Ohh nice!!
Although metal blades are easier in the "living room" boss area, bubble lead is actually its weakness as each component only needs to be hit by one bubble lead as opposed to two metal blades.
But you have to wait for them to get in range. Far better to use metal and kill them before most can get close.
You sir are the reason i haven’t accomplished anything since I discovered your channel! Good job lol
🤣 Thanks!
I absolutely love your channel. I get such a nostalgic rush. This game is probably my top 5 favorite of all time. The music just makes it that much gratifying
Crazy, I randomly just started playing this again for the first time in 20 years. What a great game, and awesome video!
Thanks man, This is one of my favorite new channels I stubbled upon you about 6 months ago and have watched everyone, Thanks for your hard work. I finally beat this game.
You sir have earned a new subbed! I just watched this, mm 1 and your tmnt run. Can’t wait for more. Keep up the great work.
Just discovered this channel today and have watched 3 videos already and they are awesome. Great job. I look forward to new videos and catching up on what I have already missed
what a no-nonsense video..
informative & entertaining at once..
just discovered your channel now and im glad i did..
more power to you man..👍👍
U can beat video games: No nonsense video
Also u can beat video games: flash man is the king of indecent exposure
The soundtrack to this one brings back such memories. It's absolutely killer.
So awesome to see the tricks too, I could never beat this one as a kid. I remember being *so* excited when I finally beat Heat Man and Quick Man to finish them all off, only to realize there was the whole castle section to deal with after! That dragon felt impossible!
What a superb overview sir! I will never forget when me and my friends set up several NES units at my bar mitzvah party and I encountered MMII for the first time 🙂
"But what if I told you.... but what if I told you...."
I literally am waiting for the exact moment you start the lines... makes my day everytime man. Thanks for the great video! My favorite Mega man as well. 🤘🤘
I remember those specific magazine spreads from Nintendo Power regarding the robot design contest. That was for Mega Man 6, the winners being Knight Man and Wind Man.
You're 100% correct. I couldn't find any pictures from the Japanese contests, but I wanted to show something to represent it, and I had this issue of Nintendo Power.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Wow, you still have the issue? I think my mom threw all mine away. That wasn’t a criticism by the way. Just got excited because I remember seeing that back in the day so I thought I’d mention it. I would love to see all the Japanese entries someday.
Watching your Bionic Commando video now. Definitely subscribed.
great video ! I can't believe you complete the entire game in 50 mins!!!! I spent entires weekends and nights trying to do it! Thank you!
Just stumbled on this channel.
You sir, are doing the lord's work. Gobless.
Thanks, Troy!
Im on a quest (a quest lol!!) to beat all the classic 6 NES Mega Man games.
So far Ive completed 1, 2 and 3 and have made good progress in 4,5 and 6........with a lot of thanks this ^ guy.
Thank you ' U Can Beat ' for your help an getting me intrested in these games.
I cant believe I've never known/heard of your channel before... SUBDED!!! You're my new hero XD. Too many memories bring me to tears here, especially when you flashed that MegaMan 2 Nintendo power volume 7. I owned a copy of that one and I read it over and over again... MegaMan 2 was truly one of the greatest console (not just NES ) games ever made, but my favorite will always be MegaMan 3. I hope you run a walkthrough of that one :) .
Thanks for the sub, Phil! I'm excited to play Mega Man 3 for the channel, it will definitely happen.
The first time I ever saw Mega Man 2 was in that issue of Nintendo Power, and I was blown away! My parents had just asked if I wanted to get a game for my birthday, and I immediately told them Mega Man 2 was the one - a decision I have never regretted!
I appreciate all the word play for bosses... thank you for making this video
Thanks WF!
Bob Ross of retro-games this fellow.
Nice! This was the first Mega Man game I had and the 2nd one I beat. I didn't beat MM2 until after I beat MM4. I like your strategies on how to get through it. I've been doing it the "hard way" all these years with picking Metal Man first, using the arm cannon on Crash Man (I did eventually learn how to beat him with it without getting hit once), etc. Always good to see some new ideas I just never thought about!
One of my favorite Megaman games after 3. Cool video on the history of the making of this awesome game!
When playing this game, I often fight Metal Man first just to pick up the awesome Metal Blade weapon since it's so darn useful and powerful. Crash Man is often my next target due to how easy he's defeated using just your normal Mega Buster cannon due to the jumping pattern he uses (just run at him, light tap jump and shoot at the same time to hit him, and repeat until he's dead plus he won't ever land a hit on you since his crash bombs always end up and explode well away from you).
Knowing this pattern, Crash Man is the easiest boss to kill, not the hardest.
I beat this game when it first came out. IMO it has one of the best NES soundtracks ever!
2021-08-10
Unforgotable: Music of Dr.Wilys Castle Stage1. Just Love it.
But overall the musics fit so perfect to each stage. Especially Crashman Stage music so funny ....
Another one beat!!! Back to back 3-2 now on to part 4, awesome video once again, we sure can beat video games lol✌️
He made this game look so easy! The amount of useful tips in this video is amazing. Got me itching to play Megaman 2 again.
Thanks!! If you play it, let me know how it goes!
Never beat this game, until today.. Your video was a big help, the game is way easier than I remember it being back in the day. Feels good to finally beat it.
That's so awesome! Congratulations!!
It makes me really happy to be able to help. Well done.
Your skill is amazing! I play Mega man a lot and I can’t do the things you do. Mad props. Thanks for your hard work on these videos they make these games playable.
Awesome guide man!!!! this made megaman a breeze to run through! please keep em coming!!!!!
This is a great channel and I’m sure you’ll gain more followers soon enough! I also wanted to point out that Mega Man 2 is the only game you covered so far that I beat by myself as a kid when it first came out! ( yes, I’m aging myself)
Mega Man 2 and 3 were the very first games I had for the NES. I believed I knew everything there was to know about them. Boy, you proved me SO wrong!
Love this game. One of my top ten in terms of nostalgia.
5:04 OMFG TY for sharing this unknown to me aspect!
I loved this game. The gameplay and music is just incredible. It's burnt into my psyche.
I do love this game, so I really appreciate this amazing content, GG!
Wow!! Thank you very much!!! This content is PURE GOLD!!! Very professional. I absolutely LOVE your channel!!!! Hope U bring to us the ultimate guide for "ultimate air combat" for NES.
My goodness, the music in this game is so good.
What a game. The soundtracks... the dynamics... Wonderful. ^^
Great video, it really takes me back. Everyone has a robot kill pattern. Mine starts with Metal Man because I like how you can direct the metal blades when you have his power.
Thank god YT suggested me this awesome channel. Thanks for your excellent work!
This may be my new favorite youtube channel! Please never stop doing these!
Man, I haven't played this since I was 12.....
2 was always my favorite, but the entire series was fantastic, I loved the music ALMOST as much as the Castlevania series.
Thank you so much, I enjoyed watching this old game.
Me and my mom just did a video where she finally beat this game using your tips! She played it as a kid and was never able to beat the end boss. She finally did it last night! We gave your channel a shout out.
Excellent video and play through with commentary! Thank you!
Your content rules! Love these videos! Proud of you!
I remember recording gameplay of this game on my mom's VCR when i was a kid. Even back then we loved watching gameplay, and the sound track was fire and still is.
I didn't record anything until SNES - I wish I had, tho! That would be cool to watch back!
Soundtrack is incredible. Thanks for watching!
One of the best soundtracks in video games 👍 It's never the equipment, but the composer.
Just got the NES mini and how the h*ck did i beat this game when i was young lol. Its a hard game nowdays, but with your tutorial its so much easier. Thanks for all these playthrough. You got a new subscriber 😀
Mega man 2 was my first mm game that i played back in 88 when i was 5 and i became a fan instantly. I completed in 92 when i was 9 and created a mega man club. Where my friends and I would buy the games together and master them. Then years later i became an adult and the mega man collections came out 2002 or 04 and I introduce my step son to the blue bomber. Now im in my 40s and im starting to collect every mega man game made. Ucbvg is the best channel on youtube and it would be a honor to meet u in some Comic-Con or gaming convention. Thank u for all ur great content and God bless bro.
This game was the only MegaMan game I actually beat.
This brings back so many memories.
There were a lot of useful ideas I had never thought of even though Ive beaten this game many times. Like time stopping the falling spikes. Good idea.
Loving your videos! Mega Man 2 was a favorite of mine. I love the order you used. I always like to bear Metal Man first, because his weapon is so useful in the game. I used it like you used Fireman's weapon in Mega Man.
played this game SO MUCH, looking forward to finishing the game with you because I don't remember if I ever beat it!
Beat MM2 tonight thanks to this channel. Now onto MM3.
This is like Video Game story time mixed with a complete guide on how to beat it. It's a brief history and some trivia of the game. While telling how to beat it, and probably on the regular hardware.
I see this is gonna be perfect.
This channel is just great to watch late at night or when in bed. Its so calming.
I don’t remember how I got this game all those years ago, but I never really paid the box art that much attention. But the pistol, Quick Man clearly being quick, and Dr. Light (?!) directing Crash Man to attack is a great view into the artist’s understanding of the actual game. Great video!
Thanks!! Very interesting look into the artists mind there, I wonder how long he played it before drawing that?
really good guide. went through and beat it with this. nice
That ending feels super reminiscent of old samurai movies
I thought I knew everything about this game but I had never heard about holding a and b when selecting a stage to change the background. Awesome!
Thanks!! Always love showing people something new!
And still one of the best soundtracks of any video game ever.
Yeah but i think Mega Man 3 has better music.
And yet it’s not even the best Mega Man soundtrack, just goes to show how talented Capcom was.
Would love to see more of the MM series. #4 was always my favorite when it introduced the charge up blaster.
Thank you so so soo much bro, I never thought I could complete this game 🥺
Flash Man...The King of Indecent Exposure!
I almost missed it. Glad I caught it!
Another great video. These days, when I feel too casual and not too good at games, I just remember that I beat this game, back before playthrough. Then, I don't feel so bad...
Thanks, Brad. This game feels really good to beat!
Dude, your videos are amazing!
Nice work! This might be my favorite NES game and you crushed it.
Thanks, man! it's easily one of my top 5 favorite NES games.
I swear i have the world record in this game. I once beat this game in 22mins on difficult setting(no cheats, no hax fair straight run) but i didnt think to record it. One of the best mega man games of all time! Tyvm ycbv for this trip down memory lane
Great video. Decades later after first playing Mega Man 2, I finally beat it legit thanks to this guide. Don't judge me. I beat other games on my own. lol
Fun video. Loved watching this classic game. I have the Crashman theme as my ringtone. It's my favorite level theme in the series. Megaman 2 and 4 were the only two Megaman games we owned growing up. Was cool seeing different uses for some of the weapons. I didn't think about using Woodman's shield on those moving platforms in Crashman stage or against the bird eggs. Platform 3 always seemed to be the least useful of the three platforms. Some fun games on NES could be cool to see try. Kickle Cubicle and Swords & Serpents.
if you still have an extra Crash Bomb to use when you make it to the 2nd wily fight, you can take him out in a single shot if you can fire the bomb so it explodes slightly below the cockpit
Finally getting around to watching this, a few notes I have about the video:
- (10:20) Quick second is good for Normal but pretty annoying on difficult because Quick himself can be a pain
- (11:32) I almost think it's better if you encourage players to memorize the Force Beam section and use it on Quick because he can be pretty annoying Buster Only for newcomers
- (12:39) Air Shooter does like 4 damage but it can also be somewhat annoying to hit Quick with, stick with Crash Bomber or the Buster
- (17:29) Hey, someone else who uses Time Stopper to freeze the Crushers! Nice! Great advice for newcomers
- (19:15) I'm pretty sure it's impossible to make that jump without some form of item
- (19:32) Unfortunately that's not a mask, that's just Metal Man's fac
- (25:35) I wouldn't say you have infinite lives, if you Game Over you lose all your E Tanks which is REALLY bad in the later levels
- (27:16) WOOOAAAAAH! I never knew you could do that! Not super practical to pause every 3 Metal Blades to avoid depleting weapon energy but still pretty neat!
- (28:07) I'd honestly recommend just fighting the first Friender normally instead of insta-killing it with Atomic Fire, since newcomers will want that for Wood Man.
- (28:20) Nice! Showing the trick of using Time Stopper to prevent the Frienders from spawning! Good tactic for newcomers
- (29:00) Oh wow, didn't know if you turned to the left, the Pipis would spawn from the left, nice!
- (31:37) Technically they're still Mettaurs
- (34:18) I would argue Quick is harder than Crash without his weakness
- (34:52) The reason for the Clash Man/Crash Man difference is because the letter R doesn't really exist in Japanese, so they have a difficult time representing it
- (41:20) Highly recommend against using Time Stopper here so you can use it on Quick Man- (41:59) Picopicko-Kun is weak to Bubble Lead, while it's more difficult to hit him with this, it also kills him quicker.
- (42:42) I doubt Wily 3 was an intentional throwback to Wily 3 of the first game but that is a nice coincidence that both are water levels
- (41:59) Picopicko-Kun is weak to Bubble Lead, while it's more difficult to hit him with this, it also kills him quicker.
- (42:42) I doubt Wily 3 was an intentional throwback to Wily 3 of the first game but that is a nice coincidence that both are water levels
Overall, great video!
This was just what I needed, was getting stuck in the Wily stages! Thanks!
The title screen music with Mega man standing on top of the skyscraper.. without the helmet and letting the hair blowing in the wind.. just like Rambo would have done... = /chefs-kiss
These guides are awesome!
Interesting order. I usually do airman first to get item 2, which allows you to get the extra life and the E tank in metal man’s stage without dying. After metal man, I do woodman, then bubble, then heat, getting item 1. Next I do crash man with air shooter, and now with crash bombs and item 1, you can get the extra stuff in flash man’s stage, then finally I do quick man last.
I do CrashMan after MetalMan. Otherwise the same order you use. Item 2 in Bubble Man's stage to help with the dropping platforms.
Airman first is the traditional path - they even recommend it in the instruction manual! It IS nice to have platform #2 early, I can't deny that!
Air>Bubble>Metal>Heat>Crash>Flash>Wood>Quick. If you can manage that order you can get all the 1ups and E Tanks.
Thank you for ultimate guide 😍 i was playing mm 2 last night and i couldn't defeat any robot master. This will help a lot
You are the bob ross of gaming! I love the content! Please do mega man 3. I grew up on megaman so anything you can do would be great. I can help with boss weakness if you need. Keep doing what you are doing cause it's awesome!!!
Wow this dude is the "chills" of video game channels. That flat voice thing will be his ever known trademark.
He reminds me of Bob Ross too yo!😎
I’ve been thinking the same thing! Except it doesn’t sound as forced as Chills does IMO
@@chrisschojan5081 I don't even listen to his whole shows, just his intro information. Pretty neat work he does. Not subbed but he pops up so I check in.
I used to love that entrance to bubble man, where you drop in the water.... I don’t know just thought it was so cool
There were so many cool things they added to this game just for flavor. I love that stuff.
Easily one of my favorite NES games of all time! I never knew there was a way to beat the 4th Wily stage with one full bar of Crash Bombs. I always died at least once to refill Crash Bombs, since the walls remained gone. Thanks for this!
I also found a quirky trick that shooting a Crash Bomb at Wood Man using Leaf Shield causes him to launch the shield earlier than he normally would. The explosion of the Crash Bombs also hurts Flash Man and Metal Man a lot, but sneezing hurts Flash Man. Another quick way, pun intended, to defeat Quick Man... after using a full bar of Flash Stopper, a fully charged Atomic Fire will take the rest of Quick Man's HP.
My route is Air, Quick, Flash, Metal, Bubble, Heat, Wood, Crash. Item 2 is incredibly important in zipless runs.
Also I am so happy that you acknowledged Heat Man as being a zippo :D
Pretty awesome that you have Heat Man as your avatar! Some of the bosses in this had really cool designs.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames yeah dude, he's become something of a mascot for me lmao
My buddy had this one, it was one of the first we beat (easier level I think) very satisfying, Nice watch.
NES music reminds me of childhood trauma. 😘 🍝 thanks for taking me back. I always did metal man into woodman…
