For no particular reason, I’d like to record my preferred order for tackling the minibosses at the beginning of the NES game Megaman 2. Pay close attention.

1. Airman: Use your shooter
2. Metalman: Use your shooter
3. Woodman: Use metal blades
4. Bubbleman: Use metal blades
5. Crashman: Use air attack
6. Heatman: Use bubble attack
7. Flashman: Use heat attack or shooter
8. Quickman: Use crash bombs

If you follow this order, you should have all the special weapons you need when you need to get 1UPs and other goodies.

Good hunting.
