***Tips***
1.	Don’t use Metal-Blade or Quick Boomerang on the hermit crabs in Bubble Man’s stage.
2.	To avoid spike instant-death damage, lava damage on Heat Man’s stage or the laser beam damage on Quick Man’s stage, allow a robot to collide with you. The flashing effect will allow you to be temporarily invincible.
3.	When on a ladder: If you decide to pause, when you restart you will automatically fall towards the ground remember this and quickly push . 
4.	Hold “B” down when using Quick Boomerangs to keep the boomerangs coming!
5.	Hold “B” down when using Atomic Fire to increase the strength of the shot.
6.	Crash Bomber can penetrate Wood Man’s wood shield, use this to your advantage when defeating Wood Man. 
7.	Watch out for the acid droplets on Dr. Wily’s last stage, they take only 3 to kill you.
