[edit] Recovery items
[edit] Life Energy
Life Energy, also known as Energy Pellet, is an item that recovers health. It usually comes in 2 sizes, small and large. There are sometimes extra large versions of them that usually restore to full health. In the Mega Man Zero series and the Mega Man ZX series, the larger ones can be sliced with a saber weapon to create smaller and different types of energy.
[edit] Weapon Energy
Weapon Energy recovers the energy for Special Weapons. Like life energy, it usually comes in two sizes, small and large. It also sometimes comes in extra large versions that restore full weapon energy. In the Mega Man Zero series, the larger ones can be sliced with a saber weapon to create smaller and different types of energy.
[edit] 1UP
1UP, also known as Extra Life, Spare Body and Stock Heart, grants an extra life, with the maximum being nine. It appears in most Mega Man games, except for the Mega Man Legends series and MegaMan Battle Network series. It had various appearances, the first being a face of Mega Man and Mega Man X, which later changed to the player's helmet (Mega Man, Bass, X and Zero), a Z Panel (Mega Man Zero series), a ZX (Mega Man ZX), a heart (Mega Man: Powered Up), and an A Panel (Mega Man ZX Advent). A rare Battle Network exception appears in MegaMan Network Transmission as Backup chips. MegaMan can only carry two at the start, but can increase the maximum to the traditional nine.
[edit] Life Up
Life Up is a item that increases the maximum health of the player. It first appears in Mega Man X where it was known as a Heart Tank. While it can usually be found in the stages, some games (Mega Man X5 through Mega Man X8) allow the player to make them.
Absent from the Zero series due to the Cyber-elf system, they reappeared in the ZX series. Here, there were only four of them, but they gave double the health they previously did to compensate.
[edit] E-Tank / E-Can / Energy Tank
The E-Tank is an item that can only be used once to replenish a player's life energy. The player can usually carry several of those at once, up to a maximum of four or nine.
[edit] W-Tank / W-Can / Weapon Tank
The W-Tank is an item that can only be used once to replenish a player's single special weapon with weapon energy. The player can usually carry several of those at once, usually to a maximum of four.
[edit] S-Tank / S-Can / Super Tank
The S-Tank is an item that can only be used once to replenish all of a player's special weapons with weapon energy and also the player's life energy. The player can usually carry only one at a time.
[edit] M-Tank / M-Can / Mystery Tank
Same as the S-Tank, simply a different name used in other games in the series. It has the bonus effect of turning all on-screen foes into Extra Lives if used while the player has full health and all weapons are full.
[edit] ?-Can
Can be destroyed to reveal its contents. Generally contains life or weapon energy, or sometimes even a 1UP.
[edit] Sub-Tank
The Sub-Tank is a item similar to the E-Tank, but instead of being used once, it remains with the player and can be refilled after usage, usually by picking up more life energy when the player's life energy bar is already full. It appears in the X, Zero and ZX series.
[edit] Yashichi
Yashichi is a rare recovery item that is only found in the last stage of Mega Man and is given by the Rush Charger in Mega Man 8. Similar to the S-Tanks and M-Tanks, it refills all health and weapons.
[edit] Other items
[edit] Energy Crystal

In the ZX series, they come in four categories: Boss (Enemy Mega Men, Pseudoroids and the intro and final bosses), Enemy A (stronger-than-average or special story event enemies, usually mini-bosses), Enemy B (weaker, common enemies) and Other (mostly people), each with its own code letter (B, M, E and O respectively).
