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.

This is a patch of Mega Man that gets rid of the score system to make it more in-line with future entries.

Changes:
-Score balls aren't dropped from enemies.
-The score is not displayed on the top of the screen.
-Clear points aren't added up nor displayed when selecting a boss.
-The number of score balls collected isn't counted after defeating a boss; you go straight to the select screen.

An additional patch is included which also disables the select button, which in turn fixes the bug that allows players to get a lot of hits on bosses from one shot.

Huge thank you goes to bisqwit for his Mega Man 1 disassembly.
