Mega Man 6

(From the Instruction Manual)
THE MYSTERIOUS MR. X!

The most talented robot designers from across the globe have come to the 1st Annual Robot Tournament sponsored by the billionare, Mr X. Traveling from Japan, Canada and the United States, the designers have brought their finest cybernetic creations to do battle in a series of tests to see which robot can claim the title of "The Most Powerful Robot In The World."

Nothing seems strange as the contest begins, but when the top eight robots enter the arena for the final event, the lights dim and the mysterious Mr. X appears..

"Ladies and Gentlemen... I wish to thank you all for coming to see the final event of my 1st Annual Robot Tournament. As you know, I have kept the final event of the tournament a secret. This event will test the strength, skill and intelligence of each of these find robots. In fact, it will also test the strength and skill of each one of you. That may seem strange, but I'm sure you will understand when I explain that the final test for these robots is to help me conquer the world!"

"Please excuse me and my robots as we teleport out of here, but we have a lot of work to do. But don't worry, you'll see me again soon. Real soon!"

MORE POWER TO YOU!

Unable to stand against the awesome power of Mr. X's army, Mega Man and Dr. Light realized they needed something new to combat this threat. Laboring long and hard, Dr. Light was able design two new transformations circuits for use with Rush, Mega Man's canine companion. Once Mega Man finds these power adaptors, he will be able to call Rush to his side and together they will become more powerful than ever!

POWER MEGA MAN: Rush transforms into body armor and gives Mega Man an extra punch. Press and hold the B button to charge up the armor to make a really big hit! Warning: Because of the size of the Power Mega Man Armor, Mega Man cannot use other weapon systems and cannot slide while wearing it.

JET MEGA MAN: Rush transforms into a jet pack to help launch Mega Man into the sky! Press and hold the A button to fire the turbo thrusters and send Mega Man soaring into the sky. Warning: The turbo thrusters can only keep Mega Man in the air for short time before they overheat and drop Mega Man back down to the ground.

A LITTLE CYBERETIC SUPPORT

Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase, will teleport down with a power-up item from time to time, but for this mission Mega Man needs a little more help. Dr. Light has been hard at work to create a remote-controlled attack bird named BEAT. But BEAT's four new circuit plates are missing! If Mega Man is able to find and collect the B, E, A, and T circuit plates, he'll automatically teleport them back to Dr. Light for final assembly.

Once Dr. Light has completed BEAT, he'll be ready to swoop to Mega Man's rescue on command. ... Soaring down from the clouds, BEAT will automatically attack any enemy on screen and shred them to tin foil with his razor-sharp talons.
