Order

It's best, if you defeat the bosses in the following orders:

If you want to play safe:
Burst -> Cloud -> Junk -> Freeze -> Slash -> Spring -> Shade -> Turbo (you'll have to replay levels, if you go with this order. It's the easiest, btw)

or

If you want to go straight after the items, without backtracking:
Freeze/Burst -> Burst/Freeze -> Cloud -> Junk -> Spring -> Turbo -> Slash/Shade -> Shade/Slash

Overmap

The "R","U","S","H" Parts and Super Adapter

Super Adapter, is a somewhat of a mix between Jet and Power Mega Man from Mega Man 6. You will need to locate the four Rush circuit plates, each with the letters R, U, S and H on them. They are all found in the first four levels of the game.

"R"
Requirements: Rush Coil
Location: Burst Man

It is easy to find, as you will see it while proceeding through the area where the water rises and falls above the spikes.

"U"
Requirements: Rush Jet(not mandatory, completely optional)
Location: Cloud Man

When you come to the area where you can't see the platforms in the sky unless they are near Mega Man, keep going until you find a platform above him. Use the Rush Coil to jump up to it and climb up it. There will be an extra life above on the right and the U plate will be on the left. Use Rush Jet to acquire it or try making a leap of faith

"S"
Requirements: Freeze Cracker
Location: Junk Man

You will need the Freeze Cracker to find this. When you find the lava waterfall in the level, shoot it with the Freeze Cracker and it will freeze and then crumble. Walk through to find a secret passage and a ladder. Climb down and shoot the next lava waterfall to find the S plate.

"H"
Requirements: Rush Coil
Location: Freeze Man

When you find the area where there are two ladders, one going down and the other up, use the Rush Coil to jump up to the upper ladder and climb up it. You will see the plate on a ledge high above, so jump up the platforms or use the Rush Coil to reach it.

Rush Jet and Search

Rush Search
Requirements: None(or Rush Jet(if you visited Junk Man first), if you hate tight platforming) or Rush Coil
Location: Freeze Man

It is in clear view on top of a high platform, accessible by jumping across other platforms high up in the screen. Rush Search will allow Mega Man to find different items in the ground, including powerup items such as energy and weapon tanks, plus other special items.

Rush Jet
Requirements: Thunder Bolt
Location: Junk Man

In Junk Man's stage, you will find an area with a large platform attached to what looks like a chain in the background. A small control panel will sit on the ground near the platform and is easily seen. Shoot the panel with the Thunder Bolt to make the platform begin moving.

Climb up the ladders and you will find the Rush Jet which has now been uncovered from one of the platforms. The Rush Jet will allow Mega Man to ride on Rush's back as he flies across the screen and will keep flying until he hits something. You can control the jet by pushing up or down

Hyper Rocket Buster/Hyper Rush Punch

Hyper Rocket Buster
Requirements: Rush Search + Super Adaptor
Location: Turbo Man

When you come to the area where there is a long ladder leading up and to the left of it are platforms attached to the wall that look like traffic lights, jump off the ladder from the top and land on the bottom platform. Destroy the enemy there and pick up the energy capsule. Use Rush Search to find the item. The Hyper Rocket Buster will allow a charged shot while using the Super Adapt to home-in on targets and destroy them.

Energy Equalizer/Balancer

Energy Equalizer/Balancer
Requirements: Rush Search
Location: Shade Man

When you have to fight the pumpkin robot near the middle of the level, instead of shooting the core of it when it opens to destroy it, shoot the eyes of the outer shell when it is closed to destroy it. You will notice the eyes will flash when you hit them, indicating that it is taking damage.

Keep shooting it until it explodes and it will blow open the right wall. Continue on and when you find a large painting of Dr Wily in the background, use Rush Search under it to find the item. This item will refill the weapon with the lowest energy when you are using the Mega Buster or a special weapon that has full power.

Exit Part

Exit Part
Requirements: Rush Search
Location: Freeze Man

It is found just outside Freeze Man's room. On the raised platform just before the one with the door to Freeze Man's room, use the Rush Search and if Rush begins to bark, it means he has found something special. He will then dig up the Exit Part. This item can be used from the menu screen and will allow Mega Man to leave a level from any point if he has defeated the level boss.

Auto's Screw/Hyper Bolt

Auto's Screw
Requirements: Super Adapter
Location: Spring Man

In the area where the black boxes shoot out large bouncing jack-in-the box type objects, jump up the top left corner of the area using the Super Adapt. The box up there will destroy the wall to the left when it hits it.

Go into the secret room and you will find the screw. This will make all of the items at Auto's shop half their original price and will make the following five new items available.

Beat

Beat
Requirements: Scorch Wheel + Super Adapt/Rush Coil
Location: Slash Man

When you reach the area with the large trees with the snakes wrapped around the trunks, go to the farthest one on the right and use the Scorch Wheel on it. The tree will burn and reveal a hidden ladder behind it. Use the Shield Adapt or the Rush Coil to reach the ladder and continue on.

You will find a bird trapped in a cage in a small room. Use a charged shot of the Mega Buster to break the bird out. Beat will help Mega Man by rescuing him if he falls down a hole. When Beat comes down and picks Mega Man up, hold left or right to pull him away from the hole. You can only use this item four times.

Protoshield

Protoshield
Requirements: Rush Coil
Location: Cloud Man -> Turbo Man -> Shade Man

When you come across a ladder leading up that is too high to reach, use the Rush Coil to jump up to it and climb up into a small room where you will meet Protoman. The second location is in Turbo Man's stage near the location of the Rocket Buster Upgrade.

At the top of the long ladder but still in the large room with the traffic-light platforms, jump off the ladder and hold right to walk through the wall and meet Protoman again. Then go to Shade Man's stage and destroy the pumpkin robot the normal way by shooting the core.

Go down, and then walk to the right wall of the room and you will walk through it and find another room. Continue on and you will meet Protoman, who will then battle you. Beat him to receive the Protoshield. This item can allow Mega Man to be protected from some energy blasts.

Thanks, I was able to get all the powerups and items thanks to this guide!

[vmv81]

Thanks for the guide.

[Powdertrail]

One tip for the tipper: If you use Freeze Cracker on the floating enemy that controls the weather in Cloud Man's stage, instead of raining, it will start snowing. The snow will reveal the location of the platforms that you have to jump on to get the "U" plate for the super suit!

[Keytee Tamira]

I found the solution for my problem! I just replayed Cloud, Turbo and Shade stages in order and met Protoman again. Now i have the shield ^_^

[Keytee Tamira]

I did meet Protoman on both Cloud Man and Turbo Man stages... yet he doesn't appear in Shade Man's stage. I do have all RUSH letters.
Maybe it's because i met Protoman on Turbo Man stage after i already finished all stages, and then i used Exit after meeting Protoman?

[Shmooooey]

Haha, thanks! I try my best to reply ASAP!

[sam caulk]

Thanks! Also you reply in a matter of seconds, I like that about you.

[Shmooooey]

I'll try, once I have some free time

[sam caulk]

Can you Do the Same Thing With MM8 (Bolt Locations)

[Eddy]

Thank you for the guide; even though I got some of those hidden items by luck
