Challenge Achievements

For Bronze x1 through Gold x50, you can feel free to get Gold on any 50 of the 54 total challenges. However, this guide will recommend the easiest set of 50 challenges to do and in order of increasing difficulty to allow you to build your skills over time. Do note that it is unknown the exact time you need for each Gold Medal, and such I recommend checking out this guide by Captain America and others for the times necessary to obtain a Gold Medal on each challenge:

In addition, the game will tell you the benchmark for Gold if you have a Silver Time, and what the Silver Time is if you get a Bronze Time.

Choose any of these 4:

• MM2 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM3 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM4 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM5 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM6 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• All Appearing Blocks (No Items)
  
• All Robot Rush (No Items)

I recommend getting Gold in the No Items challenges for the MM1 Robot Rush (You can utilize the pause trick to break this challenge), MM5 Robot Rush, MM6 Robot Rush, and All Appearing Blocks challenges, as those are the least annoying. However, you can choose whichever of these 4 you are most comfortable with.

Dr. Wily Forever: Complete the Dr. Wily Forever challenge

You must defeat the final bosses of every game in a row. This includes Wily Machine 1, Alien, Gamma, Wily Capsule, Wily Machine 5/Wily Capsule, and Wily Machine 6 (both forms)/Wily Capsule.
The Weaknesses are:

• Wily Machine 1: Fire Storm -> Thunder Beam
  
• Alien: Bubble Lead
  
• Gamma: Hard Knuckle -> Top Spin
  
• Wily Capsule: Pharaoh Shot
  
• Wily Machine 5/Wily Capsule II: Super Arrow -> Beat
  
• Wily Machine 6/Wily Capsule: Silver Tomahawk (all 3 forms)

All You Need is Mega Buster: Complete any Challenge marked with "NO ITEMS."

Challenges you can do this for:

• MM1 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM2 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM3 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM4 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM5 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• MM6 Robot Rush (No Items)
  
• All Appearing Blocks (No Items)
  
• All Robot Rush (No Items)

The easiest challenge to do this for is the MM6 Robot Rush (No Items) due to the bosses having relatively easy to learn patterns. Simply learn what the bosses do, and dodge their attacks while Charging your Mega Buster at all times. That being said, completing any of the No Items Challenges [MM1-MM6, or the All Appearing Blocks (No Items)] will earn you this achievement.

All Appearing Blocks: Complete the "ALL APPEARING BLOCKS" Challenge.

While this sounds difficult, as you go through every section with Appearing Blocks from all 6 games, it’s much easier than it sounds. You have all the utility items at your disposal, use them to skip as much of the Appearing Blocks as possible. As a reminder, per game, you have:

• MM1: Magnet Beam
  
• MM2: Item-1, Item-2, Item-3
  
• MM3: Rush Coil, Rush Jet, Rush Marine (useless during this challenge)
  
• MM4: Rush Coil, Rush Jet, Rush Marine (useless during this challenge), Balloon, Wire
  
• MM5: New Rush Coil, Rush Jet, Super Arrow
  
• MM6: Rush Power Adaptor, Rush Jet Adaptor

Bring Them All On!: Complete the "ALL ROBOT RUSH" Challenge.

A difficult task indeed, as you must defeat all 46 Robot Masters in a row, but you can die quite a few times and still manage to beat it. If you’re aiming for a Gold Medal, the time to beat is 20 minutes. Otherwise the time limit is 34 minutes. Remember that you have all Special Weapons available to you, use them to your advantage and defeat the Robot Masters as quickly as possible. The order of the Robot Masters is all mixed up, but remains constant in between runs. Refer to the Robot Rush Order Index for more details.

Unstoppable: Complete the "ALL ROBOT RUSH (NO ITEMS)" Challenge.

An even more grueling task, you must defeat all 46 Robot Masters with only the Mega Buster. Once again, you can die several times and still manage to beat it. The Gold Medal time is 39 minutes while the overall time limit is a full hour. This time, there are no Special Weapons available to you, so I suggest reviewing the other Robot Rush (No Items) challenges in order to figure out how to effectively defeat each Robot Master with just the Mega Buster. Once again, you may refer to the order in which the Robot Masters show up below in the Robot Rush Order Index. This is by far the hardest challenge in the game, good luck!

Some golds are absolutely impossible without the pause glitch. At least is some version the clock stops while changing scenarios. In PC it doesnt. Those 8-9 seconds you lose wont let hou get MM1 Megamix i.e.

[JosueAB]

Do the achievements not work if I'm playing the Rockman version, or are my achievements being wonky?
