(From the Instruction Manual)
BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER!
'Cossack to Mega Man! Cossack to Mega Man! Come in, Mega Man!'
'Protoman has gone wild! City Hall and the spaceport have been totally destroyed and the city's power grid is in shambles. I've never seen destruction on this scale before.'
'I know you're worried about Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the city from the grip of Protoman's robots. I can modify your reactor to give the Mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light and I had been working on a special project, but it's not finished yet. Maybe if I can get it working, it might give you an edge.
'Remember to watch your back Mega Man. Protoman seems to have become more ruthless than we had thought possible. Good luck.'
'Cossack out!'
ATTACK OF THE CYBERNETIC SOLDIERS!
The dark shadows of Protoman's eight robots now cover the city. Each of these cybernetic soldiers have surrounded themselves with wave after wave of mindless metal munchkins who are just waiting to pound Mega Man! It's up to you to run, jump and climb past death-dealing robots and metallic maniacs to get into the robot master's inner sanctum. Once you arrive, you'll dig in and stand toe-to-toe against his awesome attacks! Pummel him with the power of your Mega Buster to throw him on the scrap heap for good. Add his weapon to your arsenal and get ready for action as you face the next robotic level!

Using his special powers, Rush can transform into a two unique configurations to help Mega Man get by treacherous traps.

JUST BEAT IT!
Prior to Dr. Light's kidnapping, he and Dr. Cossack had been working on a brand new attack robot named BEAT. Hidden throughout the city are the parts needed to activate this powerful new ally. If Mega Man can collect the letters to spell out M-E-G-A-M-A-N-V, Mega Man can call and activate BEAT.
