* HitboxDissonance: 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.

* OffModel: The game's U.S. and European covers both depict Quint in the background. Unfortunately, the artist apparently screwed up and confused him with Proto Man, resulting in him having red-and-white armor instead of the green armor of his official character art, along with slightly odd proportions that make him look more like a ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' character.

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.

This game was released just five months after ''Dr. Wily's Revenge'', and both the rushed development schedule and developer Biox's unfamiliarity with the series are rather apparent in the rather odd storyline and various aspects of the gameplay. Unsurprisingly, this proved to be the only ''Mega Man'' game which the company ever worked on.
Aside from all that, the gameplay is much the same as in the NES ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'', meaning that energy tanks, the slide move and Rush are introduced for this entry. In addition, despite the game's numerous other flaws, it did introduce what would become the standard format for the three following games, which consists of four full Robot Master levels and fights, followed by another four Robot Master levels and fights (as opposed to the previous game, which just gave you four Robot Masters from ''Mega Man'' with corresponding stages, followed by a BossRush of the ''Mega Man 2'' Robot Masters).

!!Tropes:
* AllThereInTheManual: As with the previous (and following) game, the only way to understand the plot is to read the manual.
* GrandfatherParadox: Ignored, which begs the question of what could happen to Quint if he destroyed his own past self...
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Quint is apparently this to Mega Man.
* RearrangeTheSong: Almost all the music in this game is new, though for some reason the "Got a new weapon" theme is a slightly rearranged version of the one from ''3'' NES.
* SequelDifficultyDrop: Put it this way -- it's like the developers only played the NES ''Mega Man 2'' on its easy mode... and then decided ''that'' was way too difficult! Even without the decidedly easy level designs though, the introduction of Energy Tanks and Rush makes the challenge much more reasonable than in the previous game.
* WeaksauceWeakness: This time around, the Robot Master weaknesses are exactly the same as they are in the NES games.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Quint just teleports out after you battle him, and is never seen or mentioned again. Presumably with Wily's plot foiled, the timeline which led to Quint's creation ceased to exist.
