Mega Man II (AKA Mega Man 2) is the sequel to the first Mega Man (NES). You continue to play Rock who must bust up Dr. Wily's evil robots in the traditional action platformer sort of way. This is one of the easiest Mega Mans in the series, but also one of the most enjoyable games. It's also the first standard Mega Man with regard to eight enemy robots, no score, empty boss corridors, and proper power-up icons.

Music
The music in Mega Man II is often regarded as the best for the entire series. Specifically, the music for Bubble Man and Dr. Wily Stages 1 & 2 are the favorites of many retro gamers. The music covers a broad range of timbres and tempos to fit the robot domain they belong to and all of the music is very catchy. The majority of the music was composed by Takashi Tateishi with a little help from Manami Matsumae.
According to the composer, the music had to be painstakingly converted from the notes into machine code.

The majority of the game's music was composed and arranged by Takashi Tateishi using the sound driver programmed by Yoshihiro Sakaguchi. Most of the sound effects are pulled from Manami Matsumae's work in the first game. Matsumae also contributed to three songs: the Game Start fanfare is remixed from her tune in the first game, the Opening theme is a remix of Matsumae's Ending theme from the first game, and the guitar solo in Airman Stage was composed by Matsumae. All of these facts have been confirmed by the audio team directly.

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site. The soundtrack was recorded using Not So, Fatso!.
