Once Dr. Light has completed BEAT, he'll be ready to swoop to Mega Man's rescue on command. Press the START button and when the weapon box appears, press the control pad in any direction to hilight BEAT and press the A button to activate him. When Mega Man returns to the fight, press the B button to whistle for a little help from above. Soaring down from the clouds, BEAT will automatically attack any enemy on screen and shred them to tin foil with his razor-sharp talons.

There are a number of things added to the Mega Man titles, some which have actual utility and others that are unnecessary. One addition is a counter that tells how many uses of each acquired weapon are left, which takes the guesswork out. Some unnecessary additions are Beat the Bird, who hovers on certain screens with a pointer telling you in what direction you should go, as if the ladder or hole in the ground weren’t indication enough. There is ... an exclamation point that flashes at certain points on a stage that indicate that the pause menu will give you a tip, sharing pearls of wisdom such as “Don’t fall on the spikes.” However, sometimes the tips are useful, although they can detract from the player’s own resourcefulness, not allowing gamers to figure out things for themselves. Thankfully, there is the option to turn off most of these additions for the purists and the more independent gamer.
