Track list[]
Cover of the 2002 release.
- I Want to Go to School (学校に行きたい Gakkō ni ikitai) - After defeating Dr. Wily with Atomic Fire, Rockman and Rush return home. Meanwhile, Roll is hanging out with her human friends from school, and later Roll asks Dr. Right if she can go to school as well. Dr. Right is hesitant, and Roll cries. Rockman and Rush comfort her.
- Wily's Evil Plot (ワイリーの悪だくみ Wairī no warudakumi) - Wily plans a new scheme and intends to create feature-packed robots, but instead ends up creating Manzai comedy robots who tell unfunny jokes. Reggae suggests that he send a robot to capture Roll. The robot gives Roll a fake enrollment letter to trick her into coming to Wily's base, with the base disguised as a school and Wily as a school principal.
- Hold On, Roll! (待ってて！ロール Mattete! Rōru) - Rush calls Rockman to inform that Roll had disappeared. Dr. Right is able to detect Roll thanks to a transmitter he plugged into her beforehand and Rockman goes after her with the Rush Jet Adapter. He finds Roll and Wily, and fights against Wily's Super Mechazaurus, an improved version of the Mechazaurus that has great resistance and strength, and attacks with Super Fire. Rockman tries to use the Star Crash and Hyper Rock Buster against it, but they have no effect and he is knocked out. When Super Mechazaurus is about to to finish off Rockman, Blues appears and saves him, taking him to Dr. Right and leaving afterwards. Wily commemorates his victory, but Roll says Rockman will find a way to defeat him.
- Defeat Wily (ワイリーをやっつけろ Wairī o yattsukero) - Rockman awakes after repairs, and he asks Dr. Right how he can defeat Super Mechazaurus to save Roll. Dr. Right modifies Rockman to make him able to use the Hyper Energy Punch. An announcer says the city is being attacked, and Rockman goes after Wily. Rockman uses Wind Storm and it distracts Super Mechazaurus and Wily, giving him the chance to save Roll. After saving her, Super Mechazaurus grows wings and tries to trample Rockman, but Rockman is able to push back its force using the Rush Power Adapter. Super Mechazaurus instead attacks him with its tail, but Rockman grabs it and swings it several times before tossing it away, but it's not enough to defeat it. Rockman then decides to use the Hyper Energy Punch, charging a large amount of energy to be used in one powerful attack, which, to Wily's surprise, is able to destroy the Super Mechazaurus. After the battle, Wily escapes and Rockman faints.
- Peaceful Morning (平和な朝 Heiwa na asa) - Rockman awakens in Dr. Right's lab, and Dr. Right says Roll can go to school, making her very happy.
