Overview and Gameplay
Dr. Wily escapes prison when hidden robots activate, sending Mega Man into a new SNES battle against eight Robot Masters. Mega Man 7 brings the classic boss-weapon formula into a larger 16-bit presentation and introduces Bass and Treble to the series.
The adventure starts with an intro stage, then opens four Robot Master stages before revealing a second set of four. Defeated bosses give Mega Man special weapons, and passwords track progress toward Dr. Wily’s fortress.
