Trivia:

In most Mega Man games, there is a Dr. Wily fight in which you fight the evil scientist in some sort of contraption, and when you drain the life meter, have to fight him again, with his face revealed, and a slightly different attack style. Although there are three Wily fights in this game, this "Wily's face revealed for the second form" tradition is not followed in this game.

Basically the same.

Like Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 has a special guest character as the accused villian. This time it's Protoman (could it really be him?), and he unleashes the usual 8 robot leaders that Mega Man must defeat. Then you go to Protoman's lair where you'll find out that there is a real Protoman, and a fake Protoman (It turns out the real Protoman was framed I think.). Once again, after defeating the final boss of the 2nd part of the game, Mega Man finds out that it was Dr. Wily behind the whole situation again! There is one new feature to the game and that's Mega Man's new robotic helper named Beat (who's a bird) that flies, and defeats enemies even on the other side of the screen. So basically that's it. Nothing new in this installment, but it's still worth playing.
