[edit] Story

In the year 20XX AD, the world is at peace thanks to Megaman. Dr. Wily's fourth attempt at world domination has failed and his name has once again faded from the minds of the citizens of the world. A few months later...
(Rock and Roll are walking through a field and suddenly a mysterious robot appears in front of them.)
Terra: "So, you are the famous Megaman! I am Terra - and you will soon be my slave!"
(Roll retreats and Mega turns in Mega Man to fight against Terra, but even the charged shot doesn't worked on him, and is defeated.)
Mega Man: "What?! My Mega Buster has no effect on him..."
A few hours later, the world was attacked by warrior robots from space.
Mega Man (awakening): "Where am I?"
Dr. Light found Megaman and equipped him with the new "Mega Arm". The most powerful weapon ever devised.
Why have the Stardroids come here!?

Dr. Light: "Megaman, our world is once again in chaos. The alien robots call themselves "Stardroids" and have conquered most our major cities. They are constructed of alien material which render our weapons useless. But, I have done some analysis and constructed a new weapon for you. It will replace your Super Mega Buster. It is called the "Mega Arm" and it allows you to charge energy in your fist before you fire it. I have also created a new assistant for you. His name is "Tango". I'll enhance this item replicator to make powerful items for you. Collect as many P Chips as possible and return to my lab to exchange them for power-up items. Good luck, Megaman."

[edit] Weapons

English name	Japanese name	Stardroid	Description
Black Hole	ブラックホール	Saturn	It creates a large black hole above the user's head which sends out a damaging deluge of projectiles through the screen.
Break Dash	ブレイクダッシュ	Pluto	A close range attack. Mega Man must charge up the Mega Arm (provided the Break Dash is selected) to use it, using a dash that can break certain blocks. It is like a hybrid of Slash Man's "Slash Claw" and Charge Man's "Charge Kick."
Bubble Bomb	バブルボム	Venus	It sends out bubbles that slowly float up and roll through the ceiling before exploding. But if an enemy touches them, they'll explode instantly.
Deep Digger	ディープディガー	Uranus	It lifts up certain blocks to throw at enemies, similar to Guts Man's Super Arm. Mega Man must be above the blocks to lift them.
Electric Shock	エレクトリックショック	Jupiter	It sends out an short range electrical bolt from Mega Man's hand, damaging anything that gets in its wake.
Grab Buster	スナッチバスター (Snatch Buster)	Mercury	It sends a shot that can actually steal energy from the enemy itself.
Photon Missile	フォトンミサイル	Mars	It sends out a missile that delays for a second before launching. This is perfect for setting up traps.
Salt Water	ソルトウォーター	Neptune	It sends out a large orb of water that, when it hits something, will split and bounce into three smaller balls.
Spark Chaser	スパークチェイサー	Terra (Earth)	It is a laser weapon that can change direction (almost in a homing fashion) and can hit multiple times.
Tango	タンゴ	Initial	Charging the Mega Arm while Tango is selected will make her appear and roll toward enemies.
Rush Coil	ラッシュコイル	Venus	Rush can be used as a spring to Mega Man jump higher.
Rush Jet	ラッシュジェット	Saturn	Rush turns into a jet to be used as transport.
