Mega Man 7 - (Part 1) - Robot Masters 1-4
3It's nice to be back in the world of Super Nintendo! Here's another long overdue game: 'Mega Man VII'. I last did 'Mega Man VI' in 2021 and did 'Mega Man X' last year. I debated whether to do X2 and X3 first before doing this one...
But Mega Man VII is the only mainline Mega Man game for the SNES. So we can cover the whole SNES series in just one game! 'Mega Man VIII' released for PSX. But we won't be tackling that one until we beat X2 and X3. Lots of Mega Man ahead! Let's get playing...
(PART 1) - ROBOT MASTERS 1-4
Similar to X, the game starts with a little intro stage. At the end, you'll meet 'Bass' and his own version of Rush, 'Treble'. Afterwards, you'll proceed to the stage selection menu. You're limited to the first four Robot Masters for now. They are: Burst Man, Cloud Man, Junk Man and Freeze Man.
The weaknesses for these four go in a loop, as usual. So you'll need to beat one using just the Mega Buster. I would recommend Burst Man, however it's up to you. The weaknesses are as follows:
Burst Man - Freeze Cracker
Cloud Man - Danger Wrap
Junk Man - Thunder Bolt
Freeze Man - Junk Shield
Burst Man is the most logical one to start with, as you can easily beat him with the Mega Buster. However, some may argue that you should start with a different stage to avoid revisiting them for the secret items.
I think this is unavoidable, so I won't worry about them until later. I'll make a stand-alone video later on all the upgrades and secret items.
