To get Wily Tower selectable from the games to play, all you need to do is beat MegaMan 1-3 in MegaMan: The Wily Wars/RockMAn Megaworld. After you beat all three, Wily Tower will appear as a choice to play. There are only 3 bosses and then Wily's Castle, but the fact that you can choose any combination of up to 8 weapons and 3 items from all three MegaMan games makes the replay value astonishing. Wily Tower also has some of my favorite stages in all of MegaMan. They look and sound beautifuly in my opinion.

Well, Wily Stages in Wily Tower all have their own music. Other than that, they seem to be more factory-ish then other Wily Castles.

The final Wily Stage in Wily Tower is fairly short. The only "enemies" in the level are the annoying drills from MM2, the cranes from MM2, and the "blood coming from the celing" from MM2. Right before the boss, though, ProtoMan comes and goes while opening a path to the boss door. (Like my HyperBomb couldn't do that for me...)

The boss comes in 3 stages. The first stage is the legs. You need to go up on the rising blocks and aim for the "pelvis" area when it's available. CrashBombs are nice to have, because even if you hit it when it's being shielded, the explosion goes THROUGH the sheild and damages it. Occasionaly, it shoots out some missiles and speeds up, but no big deal.

The second stage has it trying to punch you, like the Egg Viper from Sonic Adventure, and the concept is the same for both of thoes bosses; jump on the platform on the "fist" and let it loose on the boss. HardKnuckle is very helpful in this stage.

The final stage is your typical WilySaucer boss. This time, he's not that easy to hit. The only weapon I found to hit him (actually, the only one I tried that worked seeing as ShadowBlade failed) is ElecBeam. Wily drops bombs often, which have a timer, and then explode. I'd say this is one of the easiest WilySaucer to beat, assuming you can hit it.

After that, you beat Wily Tower! Congratulations on beating this rare little MegaMan game! At the end of the "credits," you can all laugh at Wily. But, he gets away for another game. (In my opinion, Wily Tower happens between MegaMans 3 and 4, so he's probably going off to Cossak's lab.)

My Weapon/Item Setup for this stage is as follows:

Weapons:
ElecBeam
SuperArm
HyperBomb
MetalBlade
ShadowBlade
CrashBomb
FireArm
HeavyKnuckle

Items:
RushCoil
RushJet
Rush Marine
