Robot Masters
Note: In addition to their primary weaknesses, all Robot Masters in this game are weak to their own weapons.
Doc Robots
After beating the eight Robot Masters, Mega Man must complete a more challenging "Doc Robot" version of four of the stages. Every stage contains two Doc Robots - the first acting as a miniboss, the second as the stage boss - which fight by using the data of Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. Although sprites of these Robot Masters are briefly seen "entering" the Doc Robot from above, all Doc Robots use the same sprite in battle.
Each Doc Robot is weak to two weapons obtained from this game's Robot Masters, and does not grant a weapon when defeated.
