Game Description:
The Mega Man series is iconic for its amazing stages of perilous platforming, shooting enemies with your arm cannon, stealing weapons from the robot masters, and using them as another's weakness!

The unique trait about the Mega Man series was that you could pick which stage started with, and do the robot master stages in any order! Each robot master has a stage you have to complete, and at the end, you fight the robot master. Some are super easy to beat, and others are downright impossible! (That's why you use their weakness).

After you defeat all the robot masters, it's on to the Wily stages! The main enemy of the game is Dr. Albert Wily.
Hack Description:
This patch is meant to make the game a bit easier and less frustrating. Applying this patch to Mega Man will make the weapon energy of all weapons restore fully whenever a life is lost. This mechanic is officially applied in Mega Man games for the PS1 and later.

Situations where this primarily affects the game:
- During boss fights
- Wily Stage 1 (Mandatory Magnet Beam)

Also included is a version that changes the palettes of most levels, an idea inspired by Retrorain's Mega Man Remastered hack.
