Game Description:
Mega Man 5 is a platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Dr. Light is kidnapped by Proto Man and its up to Mega Man to save him. But first, Mega Man must defeat Proto Man's army of Robot Master before reaching his stronghold.

Unlike Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 has the enhanced, wider Charged Shot. But the gameplay mechanics are the retained. Aside from having by his side his companion support robo dog Rush, a new robo bird named Beat joins him, created by Dr. Cossack.
Hack Description:
This patch is meant to make the game a bit easier and less frustrating.
Applying this patch to Mega Man 5 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:
- Final stages (where mobility items are mandatory for progress)
- Boss battles (running out of weapon energy)
