Players control Mega Man in side-scrolling stages built around shooting, jumping, and careful platforming. Defeated Robot Masters grant new weapons, and each weapon can exploit weaknesses in other bosses and enemies. Progression moves from selected stages into a Dr. Wily fortress section, where enemy density and boss rematches raise the difficulty. Movement, positioning, and weapon management are the main skills.

Developed and published by Capcom, this is the first Game Boy entry in the Mega Man series. It condenses elements from the NES games into a portable format while keeping the series' precise jumping, weapon-weakness system, and boss-driven structure. Despite the smaller scope, it is remembered as a tight and challenging adaptation that helped define Mega Man on handhelds.
