Ain't got no time for CAVES (Mega Man 2. NES) - A Wild Glitch Appears!
968Mega Man 2 for the NES has so many useful zips you can exploit to gain time during a speed run. Or even if you're not speedrunning, they're just fun to play around with. This particular zip allows Mega Man to complete the final stage much faster than normal.
Just like most of the zips in Mega Man 2, you'll need to use the Item-1 platforms to boost Mega Man into the corner of a ceiling. On this particular stage, you WILL need to stop the zip on the correct spot by pressing RIGHT on the D-Pad.
You'll need an Item-1 to push Mega Man into the corner of the ceiling that hangs down just after the first magma drip. The Item-1 needs to be placed in such a way that the center of the platform is to the LEFT of that corner in the ceiling, and Mega Man needs to be facing left.
You need Mega Man to stop just above the boss doors. Most speedrunners will end the zip just BEFORE Mega Man reaches that spot, then they will slowly "wiggle" him to the right one space at a time.
To wiggle, hold right, then press left for just one frame (doesn't need to be perfect), then immediately press RIGHT and JUMP at the same time. This should move Mega Man one "block" to the right. Do this until you're in the right spot.
As usual, I learned about this zip from a cool speed runner named @duckfist • Mega Man 2 Speedrun Tutorial w/zips
