Sachiel 29 Mar 2022 07:04
One thing i have to say though. "Minimum man" is kinda redundant. There are already achievements for all the stages with buster only, why do i have to do them again. And since you are allowed to die there is no extra challenge to it. My game crashed at the last willy stage once and i had to do it even a third time. I think just having buster only last willy stage would make way more sense
Emoon 1 Apr 2022 22:16
@Sachiel I totally agree. Basically it's a "do the entire game in one sitting" type of cheevo, yet meaningless since, like you said, dying and restarting stages is allowed anyway.
Olafur 1 Apr 2022 23:42
at the very least, it should be just the four wily stages, since you need to beat the six initial stages first and then do the four in order, all at once.

MASTERED! WOW, NEVER AGAIN!!!
Juaroomblah 20 Jul 2022 20:29
This was extremely fun actually.
GrayCloudSpectator 24 Jul 2022 16:45
Wow, my second Mega Man batch! When I made an account here and played this over a year ago, I never would have thought that I would master this one day. But as usual, coming back to the game and being invested in studying how the game works while playing, actually makes this a rather fair set.
WanderingHeiho 31 Jul 2022 05:02
Mastery #228: It started with me thinking the Powered Up main set and it's 468 Stage subset would be the closest to mastering this, and then I mastered the PS1 port, but I've finally done it and mastered the NES original's set! But why do I now feel the pull towards a bonus? Yep, that scares me.
Jazmataz 19 Sep 2022 14:15
Mastered! My first Mega Man Mastery. Yeah the Sequels (2, 3 and 4 especially) are better than this Game (Controls) but I respect this Game for the Start Point of a Great Series.

replayed for the first time in years honeslty better than i remember tbh
emersonhatake123 6 Dec 2022 23:23
I dominated, really Domina, I never expected to dominate this megaman, however, with a lot of determination I managed, great set, achievements that I thought were impossible turned out to be quite easy
Renan007 14 Dec 2022 10:49
Platinado! Muito obrigado pelo set incrível Salsa e Jaarl ๐Ÿ˜€
BenTobitt 26 Dec 2022 02:41
So yeah, the box art. Did a 5 year old win a competition to have their drawing used for the box art or something? I feel dirty just looking at it ๐Ÿคฃ
YoungElder 30 Dec 2022 02:37
Okay, so I've just finished the game a few minutes ago and I saw something I've never seen happen before. In the ending screen with Roll and Dr. Light, I pressed the Start button (not sure why, I just did). To my surprise, the game placed me in the stage select screen with the Wily levels unlocked, and I kept my score of over 1,000,000 points.
Was this always a thing in MM1 or was it some kind of glitch?
Neat1Up 30 Dec 2022 03:08
I didn't know that can happen.
GrayCloudSpectator 30 Dec 2022 06:55
No, it's not a glitch and a regular part of the game. I assume it's for anyone who wants to increase their score. It's also pretty fun going through the levels again and wreaking havoc with a full weapon set.
LucasCardoso456BR 22 Jan 2023 14:34
Mastered!
Chuckles 22 Jan 2023 19:08
I've played through this game many times throughout my life, but getting all of these achievements taught me so many things I had no idea of. Great set!
DeliaSymbols 23 Feb 2023 06:30
The first game I started collecting achievements for, and I finally mastered it! Yay!~
MeisterSkielz 4 Jun 2023 01:37
Finally Mastered!, a though but very fun set, i didnt need to use the pause glitch at any time, the game has a very fair difficulty, its just a matter of practice to finish it without dying
