Character differences

When you start the game you have a choice to play as either Mega Man or Proto Man.
While they both function relatively the same Proto Man has a shield that he uses when he jumps to reflect projectiles, He may also have some movement differences.

By the end of the game it doesn't matter which character you choose due to a cut scene that eliminates Proto and forces you to use Mega. All your weapons will carry over to Mega if you played as Proto throughout the game.

Glitches (May Not Be Complete)

If two platforms via Item1 are place close to each other they may disappear at the same time despite being place at different times.

if you fire a projectile then pause, change your weapon, then unpause the projectile that you fired will switch to the new projectile. (you must pause relatively quickly from firing the first projectile)

(May need to be reworded)
if you stand on a ladder and a piece of geometry and slide towards the geometry you'll slide and climb the ladder downwards, if you did it correctly you should appear to be standing within the ladder, but you are standing one pixel into the level collision. From here if you tap the opposite direction you fall out of the geometry, but if you tap the direction towards the geometry you'll go in another pixel, keep tapping to continue on. keep in mind that you may not be able to get out of the level in some areas, if this happens you'll have to reset. It seems that you can only do this when going towards the right
 
in the final battle if you some how get Alto in the left corner before the bass cut scene plays, mega will stand inside Alto and Bass will teleport into the same spot as Mega. Due to the placement of the characters when Mega goes to shoot Bass the shot will just bounce off Alto and not kill Bass. The transformation will still happen but Bass will still be in the Arena. Bass won't do anything but he can still be hit and this will cause the animation that appears during the transformation scene normally.

Medals

Camo - near the area with a large bolt, sniper joe, and a yellow jumpy dude, there's a small gap that you can slide through that will take you to the area with a "M" medal.

Diamond - in a reflection area where there are platforms with one block spaces between each platform, at the end of the room where you would normally drop down to the next room there is a ladder that you can grab that will take you to the area your reflection is normally in, go back to the start of the room and use item1 to reach the ladder to find an area with another "M" medal

Blaze - in the area that has you sliding from point to point while flames are being turn on and off, before you jump down the hole to continue, jump over the hole and slide into the area to the left, you will get a "N" medal

Glacier - in the area with conveyor belts, a sniper Joe, and spikes in the water. Slide between a belt and a platform and fall into a gap between the spikes and find a "G" Medal

Thorn - when you fall down a pit that has two paths, take the lower path and get to the water area, travel till you find a drop with spikes and fall down it to find a "III" Medal

Areo - the area with a destructible wall, use the Camo Missile on the wall and follow the path to find an "A" Medal

Razor - the area after the three ladders there's a pit with a weapon energy capsule on the other side, get to it using item1 and use a Camo Missile to destroy a part of the top of the room and use item1 to get to the ladder to find the "E" Medal

Arach - In the area with the grass patches in the last patch there is a hidden ladder, climb down it to find an "A" Medal

Collecting all the Medals will reward you with the Ultra ability. this ability changes your regular shots into charge shots.

Simple tips

The Route i have gone with is
Camo, Diamond, Blaze, Glacier, Thorn, Areo, Razor, Arach, Dragon, then the Wily stages

Every Boss is weak to something, and the game has a bio to help point you in the direction of what it is, note the bio only unlocks after you beat them. For Glacier Man it would say, Dislikes Global Warming, hinting towards using Blaze Man's weapon which is Blaze Cannon (Note that not all bosses appear in the bio section but every boss does have a weakness)

The game give you the Buster and an Item1 to start off with. Item1 summons in a small platform for you to use and is required to beat the game in some places.

the weapons are Camo Missile, Diamond Darts, Blaze Cannon, Thorn Spread, Speed Wing, Razor Blade, Arach Barrier, Dragon Lance, And Ultra

Sliding is useful trick that allows you to move faster, just be careful doing it on screen transition because the left over distance would carry over and possibly drop you into a pit
