Episode 106
The Mega Man series was one of the most successful on the NES, and by the time the 5th game came out they had firmly established the formula. Mega Man 5 may not be the most innovative game in the series, but it absolutely delivers on robot blasting action!
The graphics are top notch, and the music goes above and beyond what is expected from an 8-bit game. This time Mega man has a new robot pet - Beat the bird - and he can put a serious beatdown on some of the late game bosses!
So how did this game get made? In today's episode we'll find out, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
The best way to complete EVERY STAGE!
Where to find EVERY hidden BEAT LETTER!
The secret SHORTCUT to skip Crystal Man's stage!
The best way to use EVERY WEAPON!
MAPS and data for every stage, and boss!
How to WALK ON WATER in the Wave Man stage!
Where to find EVERY hidden E-Tank, and M-Tank!
How to WALK THROUGH A WALL to skip one of the final stages!
The best strategy for defeating EVERY BOSS, using the best weapon for the job, OR just the Mega Buster!
Thanks for watching!

I'm at a terrible low in my life. These are the highlight of my week.
I take the simple joys as I can get them.
It makes me happy to know we have at least one more of these mega man videos coming
Still have the X series (my favorite) to get to.
@@richardwade1544 X2 is my favorite
I wonder if UCBVG will do Mega Man EDIT: 9, 10 and 11, not 7 and 8 [END EDIT] that were released on modern consoles.
@@RyanPetrynka I bet he will get to it at some point. It's a retro game for all intents and purposes.
@@RyanPetrynka 7 was SNES and 8 was PS1/Saturn. 9 and 10 might be what you were thinking about and were released for 360 and PS3.
Mega Man! One of my top notch games. And it still is to this day,2023! This is a badass channel for old school gaming! Awesome guides and tips, you’re in the right place!
Thanks Tony!!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames yessir always!
Best nintendo channel, right along summoning salt. Don't ever stop! Your content is legendary! A boring day turns into saturday morning all over again with my brothers. Love this channel!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames 6 is my personal favorite, can't wait for that video.
5 was a close second to 3 as far as my favorite mega man game. I always thought of the M-Tank as a 10th E-Tank, because it refills your energy as well as your weapons.
The NES Mega Man games are always a good time! I do like how the lore explanation for Mega Man's Mega Buster being so powerful in Mega Man V is because it was upgraded by Dr. Cossack as a reward for saving his daughter in Mega Man IV.
Technically Proto Man saved Kalinka, but I guess he also helped kidnap her, so might as well give the cool buster upgrade to the brother that didn't do that. Plus, Proto Man already has a sick buster.
So than what happened to it in 6?
@@popeyedoyle6360 I think Mega Man's Mega Buster retains the charge ability up until it is mysteriously taken away from him in Mega Man 9. No explanation really given.
I stopped enjoying video games a long time ago, but ever since I found your channel I find myself playing these old games for hours, the best part of the day is coming home from work and putting one of your videos and trying to successfully replicate everything you teach.
I remember beating this game in 93 when I was in kindergarten. This is the game that made me love video games and become the crazy collector that I am today.
LMAO "Stoned Man"! This game has one of my favorite final boss themes. Excellent work as always! I had no idea about skipping the jet ski section.
What a perfect way to spend my day off. I can't wait to rewatch this every night before bed!
whoa
Puts me right to sleep. Nothing like the sounds of 8 bit gaming and the dulcet tones of UCBVG to send me straight to slumber land.
I know 2 and 3 are the most beloved games, and I understand why. But the latter three games are so much more polished, I find it hard to go back to the first three sometimes. Five is my least favorite of the second three games, but I still had a fun time with it.
They were all amazing dude with the exception of Mega Man 8 which I never really cared for. Mega Man 2 was my first and most favorite mega man game of all time.
For about 2 months straight every video I would load up was immediately followed up by your how to beat Dragon Quest. RUclips was ON POINT for those two months. Lol
Same here.
@@bryangarcia5599 it was awesome.
22:00 There is a trick I do for the Beat letter in Crystal Man's stage. Do a big jump near the top to align with the left wall at the beginning height of the jump. After passing the spikes in the second screen and transitioning to the third falling screen, hold left to get the letter. Guarantee of getting the letter without dying or pushing the left directional too late.
Fun strategy for the fight w/ Crystal Man:
If you stay close to Crystal Man and move under him back and forth shooting him when he lands, he'll never use his Crystal Eye attack. Instead, he'll just keep jumping over you at close range. It's exactly the same technique used against Toad Man from Mega Man 4. Great vid and channel!
I think this was my favorite Mega Man of the 6 on NES. Part 3 will always be the most special to me (I had 2 copies at one point, along with all the others). But I love them all. Never even got to Mega Man 7...... Thank you for showing!
Thanks to this video, I now have a vision of an alternate continuity where Dr. Wily chose to weaponize food by making a different kind of Gyro Man
I knew it was only a matter of time before he got to Mega Man V. And I'm not kidding when I say that in this Mega Man game, you can actually defeat all the robot masters with JUST your arm cannon.
I've always been amazed by the graphics and gameplay of this game... it's really a Legend.
Thank you for making this Guide, I'm going to play Megaman this week following your advice 😁✌🏻
The Mega Man series is just great. The stages, the enemies, the music...
I've never played it, but I love watching others play it. ^^
Appreciate the David Bowie (RIP) reference at Starman
Well played sir
As someone who bought both Mega Man Legacy and Mega Man Legacy collection 2, both Mega Man X legacy collections, and Mega Man 11, I hope you eventually do guides to every Mega Man mainline game.
Happy Monday Morning all!
Thank you again to UCBVG and pooches for another complete walkthrough!
I’ve been playing Megaman games a very long time now, and I’m amazed that I always manage to find out stuff I didn’t know about these games in these videos.
Stoked! This was one of my favorites as a kid!!!!
One of the best channels for classic games! Thank you for the work you put into these game playthroughs. 🐺🔧
One of my favorites too, along with Mega Man 3. As a side note on 1:35:00, Crystal Man's designer is a young Yusuke Murata (along with MM4's Dust Man), who later illustrated the manga One-Punch Man!
These were my absolute favorite games to play growing up. The mega Man series was and is the best. Thank you for doing these.
This was my first Mega Man game! I been waiting for you to get to this one!!
I love your use of all of the game's weapons in this guide! Gyro Attack is certainly a great weapon in Mega Man history! Also, I love your trick/strategy for the last part of Proto Man Stage 3!
I thought I mastered classic Mega Man games, but you have tips I never knew about for every level.
I love the scene out your window in this one! Great choice; this isn't my favorite Mega Man, but it does have my favorite soundtrack out of the NES titles. I usually start with Charge Man, just so I don't have to use Power Stone against him; I like to think that Capcom made Power Stone for the Dreamcast out of penance for how bad this weapon was.
I have not played Mega Man 6 yet, but this is probably my favorite of the NES Mega Man titles so far. I definitely enjoyed playing it as well as watching you play it in this video.
I absolutely LOVE Star Man’s stage music
I had so much fun playing Mega Man V as a kid and have been really looking forward to this video. I might have to fire the game up again for old times' sake.
It always amazed me how much depth you can see the 2d background.
1:08:59 "There Is No Dark Man X Unfortunately" Lmao I Took That As A DMX & Mega Man X Reference
Having never played a great deal of these games i love seeing these. They are also great for back ground filler while driving long distance, keep up the great work!
I just got to the They Might Be Giants / Tiny Toons Adventures reference. I just wanna say that I appreciate you for that!
Love your videos. Keep up the great work! I get a ton of enjoyment out of them. Very relaxing to watch and relive my gaming childhood!
“This stage was brought to you by the letter G” -This is some of the best content on RUclips keep it coming man! I like your commentary!
While I'm more partial to Mega Man IV (yes, I'm THAT person), Mega Man V is right up there as one of my favorites. I should check to see if my cart. still works after all these years...
"Yeah, it's me again. I need to have another skull castle built..."
"Okay, but we'll need you to play in advance this time. Last time your check bounced."
I first played this 30 years ago, and I had no idea about the Crystal Man skip until now. Color me impressed.
Oh yeah! Love this show so much. I Look forward to watching it all week long.
Great entry in the series, can’t wait to watch this!
This channel is so cool. I’ve been watching a bunch of episodes on my home tv. “But what if I told you…” instant classic! Keep up the cool vids.
MMV for victory! ✌🏼 Thanks for the complete walkthrough, UCBVG 🐶
You deserve more followers. A very underrated channel. 👍👍
I just played through this! First time Ive recently played a game Ive seen on the channel. I especially loved the Intro section of this one.
Great video as always. I remember introducing a friend who was interested in learning about older games to this. I thought this was probably the best one to start with because it's easy and has a more modern approach and sensibilities to it. He got wrecked by Gravity Man and gave up. I was a little surprised because we played Super Mario World together and he could do most of the harder levels in that.
Crystal Man uses the Crystal Eye attack based on Mega Man's distance to him being far away. This means that the player can manipulate the AI to prevent Crystal Man from using that technique by staying closer to the boss.
Thank you for showing us how to beat all the best video games!!!!
Mega man is my favorite series of all time. Love to see more of the blue bomber.
I just wanted to pay my respects and wish you luck in the games. I completed the first Megaman in 1996. The 2, 3, 4th chapter I've recently walked through with your tips. While waiting for 5th chapter of Megaman on your channel I started playing in it. I reached Dr. Wily castle and the 5th episode of UCBVG Megaman came out. We're on the same page - playing the same game simultaneously. Ur tips was very useful to beat Dr.Wily. But there is no capsule room shortcut in the Japanese version. I had to take pleasure from rematch with bosses. It's great that after all these years so many people haven't forgotten 8bit games. Waiting for 6th episode of Megaman)))
Most games UCBVG carefully describes every mook bot/enemy. MM5,” charge up to get rid of this traffic cone enemy.” 😂
Came for the great video and strategies and got a bonus 'They Might Be Giants' reference. Never disappointed here.
I instantly found myself wishing you had lead off with a joke like "Mega Man 5 is the 27th installment of one of the most..." No particular reason! Just would've been so unexpected. As always, love the video!
Terminology and cadence, superb
Watching you play this and mention Power Stone makes me think you would be a LEGEND at a Dreamcast games. Some of those games were hard as nails.
I beat every Mega Man on NES. Without cheats! I felt so proud.
Just got through playing the original six last year, but it's nice to see how these could/should be played with bit more skill.
Anyways, you must spend so much time to create such good content and it's perfect for both background as well as to seriously watching.
Fantastic ! You always make every game look so easy and natural to play ! Thanks for all that you do.
“Stone man, not to be confused with ‘stoned man’ who you find outside your local dispensary” 😆
YEP!! this is my first Megaman game i have played back in elementary days not sure if grade 5 or 6,2000,01 or 02...so every sound/bgm had been always nailed in my brain..thankfully i was able to beat it even though im just a kid and no knowledge about internet even strategy guide..its about learning every stages,how it is laid out, dying many many times and strategize how to beat the bosses..same as Ninja Turtles The Arcade i also beat that 1 PLAYER ONLY..so Megaman V will always have a place in my heart.... anyways Nice Video SIR!!!! PEACE!!!
Thanks bro. TBH: that chase at the end reminds me of sonic chasing Dr. Robotnik during final zone after he destroys his random chambers 😅
I just started Mega Man 5 about 10 minutes ago and popped on here to see if you did a video on it to find this as soon as i opened up RUclips.
Wasn't expecting that 'They Might be Giants' reference. Nice!
There's a set of claws on both sides of Wily's lab. On the left they are higher up, clutching one of the towers.
48:25
I know a contractor...
Just say the word, and I'll get you hooked up with a game doggo themed battle castle.
Wow! I too used to always start with Gravity Man! (And, I too can also now see the benefits of starting with Star Man.)
this is the megaman game i played the most as a kid. Dunno why, i remember the fake protoman fight being a massive wall for me back then so i rarely ever managed to beat this game.
Excellent. Now just one more Mega man Nes game to go. Thanks for this video guide.
Cool thank you for the time you take to make the videos with such a high quality of presentation and production 👏
💚💚💚💚💚💚 this channel, saturday morning with my bros everytime you load one up. The intro is legendary brother!
Thank you!!!
Mega Man 5 is one the more underrated games...
A They Might Be Giants reference. I love it!
"Not to be confused with "Stoned" man or men that you saw outside your local dispensary." LMBO 😂😂
Great to see Mega Man but also so cool to hear the They Might be Giants reference, keep doing what you're doing
Oddly enough, this was the LAST of the classic Mega Man games I had beaten among the 6 on the NES. I didn't get a chance to beat this one until I acquired the Mega Man Collection on my Gamecube years later~ Personally I think that Proto Man's Castle and the Wily Capsule themes are vastly underrated and are quite good for what they are~
MM5 has a great soundtrack. I like it much better than 4's. In fact, I think I'd tie it with 3 for my 2nd favorite of the NES games, after the legendary 2. Proto Man stage is definitely a stand-out.
Came home to find this beauty waiting. Loaded bong and beer; fire it up!! 💕💨
WOW! Your gravity man song is the particle man song! Omg that was an obscure reference that im not sure many people got! Lol
I cannot believe you just referenced triangle man!! That's a crazy reference!!
I can't telll you how much these videos have helped me ,thank you !!
Dr. Wily's skull castle does have claws on both sides - one set is on the ground, the other is clutching a pillar like a set of talons.
Me, working at a dispensary as I'm watching this video: HEY!!! ...we're stoned inside too.
This channel is a highlight for me each week!
I love this game. It was my very first game I purchase with my own money as a kid.
Hands down, my fav action platformer series.
It only gets better, by following a recipe that works, and never jumping the shark... at least not on the NES.
I remember getting this game in my early teens from some family member as a birthday or Christmas present one year, and despite already having an SNES, I still had my NES as well so I invested a fair amount of time in this game and even though I don't think I ever beat the entire game, I do remember fighting the 8 robot masters repeatedly on various playthroughs and I don't think I ever figured out the particular "weapon" each one was weak to and instead would beat all of them with my Mega Buster every time. This is partially because in older games in the series, certain bosses were basically invulnerable (meaning like 1 bar of health taken off by a shot from your arm cannon, versus them killing you in a few hits) if you didn't have the correct weapon, but if you did have the correct weapon, they would die in like 3 or 4 hits. Versus this game where the correct weapon often does only slightly more damage than a charged shot from the Mega Buster.
Also, thanks for teaching me 30 years later that Gyro Blades can go up or down. Never knew that.
Oh heck yes you did the robot masters in the order I usually do them in.
20:10 NOTE: Eddy can rarely drop E-tanks, which means you can farm TWO E-tanks on some levels (e.g. Napalm Man).
E-tanks also respawn when you revisit stages, which is nice.
The music in this game slaps hard
Your videos are as descriptive as a college professor. Hope you get an award.
Mega Man V, for me, has the second best soundtrack after Mega Man II.
Outside of II where Metal Blades cost like nothing to use and Flash Stopper for Quick Beams, I never seem to ever think about using the weapons I'm bestowed. Thank you putting the idea in my head. And I could say that on each of your videos.
I hope you get to VI soon.
what a neat video, reminds me of reading nintendo power walkthrus lol. Nostalgic af
In the Battle Network series Gyro Man flies with the propeller on his back but he also transforms into an actual helicopter too and also acts as the computer program for a real helicopter used by his human operator
Really cool way of making the physics make sense, it's not just a weird detective's forever alone hat
Love the They Might Be Giants reference.
I can't believe that was a They Might Be Giants reference. Nice.
Power Stone has two major strengths, which are illustrated in its boss fights:
1. You can hit enemies behind you while running away from them. This is valuable against Charge Man.
2. You can hit enemies way on the other end of the room while jumping and dodging. This is valuable against the final Dark Man.
Guys, it's actually useful.
Some of the toughest megabuster only bosses. Wave and charge man were the most personally rewarding to master if I recall.
Yoooo, i've been looking forward to these, thank you so much :D
Mega Man V now that’s what I’m talking about!!
