Welcome to our Mega Man 9 walkthrough.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0002](mega-man-9-0002-small.webp)
You will have a choice of eight different boss areas. Choose Galaxy Man.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0003](mega-man-9-0003-small.webp)
The Galaxy Man stage is one of the easier stages, so it's a good place to start.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0004](mega-man-9-0004-small.webp)
Begin by running to the right.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0005](mega-man-9-0005-small.webp)
Some green UFOs will fly around, avoid or destroy them with one shot from your Mega Blaster. Then climb up two ladders found here.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0006](mega-man-9-0006-small.webp)
Continue to the right. You will find some Mets.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0007](mega-man-9-0007-small.webp)
Once you are close enough they will lift their hardhats and attack with a triple shot. Kill them quickly before they lower their hardhat again. If you are quick you can kill them before they get their attack off.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0008](mega-man-9-0008-small.webp)
Carefully jump down to the second Met. When you jump, hold to directional pad to the right to keep from falling in the spikes, otherwise it's instant death. Don't stand too close to the edge or the Met may knock you into the spike pit.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0009](mega-man-9-0009-small.webp)
Continue to the right. Be prepared for more UFOs.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0010](mega-man-9-0010-small.webp)
Climb the ladder.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0011](mega-man-9-0011-small.webp)
Jump to the middle platform, right above the spikes. Careful not to fall in the spikes.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0012](mega-man-9-0012-small.webp)
Jump over the spike pit, using the ladder as a grab point if necessary.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0013](mega-man-9-0013-small.webp)
Defeat the Met under the ladder and climb up.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0014](mega-man-9-0014-small.webp)
Jump over to the floating block.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0015](mega-man-9-0015-small.webp)
Jump from the floating block to the ladder and climb up.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0016](mega-man-9-0016-small.webp)
There are two floating teleportation devices in this room. Jump into the one that you can reach.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0017](mega-man-9-0017-small.webp)
You will notice that when you enter the first teleportation device, you will bounce up out of the second one.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0018](mega-man-9-0018-small.webp)
Enter the second teleportation device and you will bounce out of the first one. Hold the directional-pad to the left and push up to climb the ladder.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0019](mega-man-9-0019-small.webp)
You will find a grasping robot here. If it grabs you, it'll force you rightward for a while and eventually will let go. This won't hurt you here, but up ahead these robots can force you into spikes.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0020](mega-man-9-0020-small.webp)
Climb the ladder and jump over to the large health bubble if you need it.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0021](mega-man-9-0021-small.webp)
Head to the right and jump down over the spike pit.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0022](mega-man-9-0022-small.webp)
If you keep running to the right, you will come across more of the grasping robots. Some of them will take you right into a spike pit, so we need to avoid them.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0023](mega-man-9-0023-small.webp)
Walk slowly to avoid them. They will fall in front of you and harmlessly fall off the screen. Then continue on to the right, but be careful because there are a few of them.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0024](mega-man-9-0024-small.webp)
Once you make it past all the pits, climb down the ladder. You can drop too (the last grasping robot will force you to), but make sure you hold the d-pad left to avoid a spike pit below.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0025](mega-man-9-0025-small.webp)
Drop down the ladder and climb up the other ladder that leads to a Met to destroy.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0026](mega-man-9-0026-small.webp)

![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0027](mega-man-9-0027-small.webp)
More UFOs will fly at you. Don't stand too close to the spikes are they may knock you in. Destroy the UFOs, then climb the ladders and head right.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0028](mega-man-9-0028-small.webp)
You will come to more floating teleportation devices. There are six of them, three pairs. Each one will only take you to it's pair and vice-versa.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0029](mega-man-9-0029-small.webp)
Bounce in and out of the teleportation devices until you find one that comes out over to the right. When you bounce out of this one you'll have to carefully steer left of it and then make a hard right to land on the ground safely. If you fall in the pit it's instant death. Continue right.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0030](mega-man-9-0030-small.webp)
Here there are three circular robots blocking your path.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0031](mega-man-9-0031-small.webp)
Shoot the robots. They will split into four smaller robots. Do your best not to get hit and destroy or avoid all of them while climbing upward.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0032](mega-man-9-0032-small.webp)
Once the robots are defeated, climb up the ladder at the top.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0033](mega-man-9-0033-small.webp)
Two more robots, just like the green, circular ones you fought on the last screen.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0034](mega-man-9-0034-small.webp)

Open up your inventory and choose your Rush Coil.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0036](mega-man-9-0036-small.webp)
Press your attack button to drop your Rush Coil in front of you. Jump on his back and he will give you a high bounce upward. You want to hold the d-pad to the right as you bounce upward so you can reach the ledge with the extra life.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0037](mega-man-9-0037-small.webp)

There are two circular robots and two red shield robots as well. The shield robots are fairly fast and go back and forth along the platform.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0041](mega-man-9-0041-small.webp)
Shoot the shield robots in the back to defeat them.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0042](mega-man-9-0042-small.webp)

![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0045](mega-man-9-0045-small.webp)
Jump over the spikes and head left.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0046](mega-man-9-0046-small.webp)

There are two screws in the bottom corner of the room you can collect. The screws are used at the game's shop. You can use them to buy extra lives, energy tanks, etc. Also avoid the UFOs.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0050](mega-man-9-0050-small.webp)
Climb up the ladder to continue.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0051](mega-man-9-0051-small.webp)
Destroy or avoid the UFOs found here. There is a weapon energy bubble, but approach slowly if you grab it, there is a grasping robot ready to drop down on you. If you do grab the weapon energy, first select the weapon you want to charge from the weapon menu (the only one we've used so far should be the Rush Coil), otherwise it won't charge anything.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0052](mega-man-9-0052-small.webp)
Jump up the platforms and head left at the top if you want a health bubble.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0053](mega-man-9-0053-small.webp)

Jump in the teleportation device.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0056](mega-man-9-0056-small.webp)
When you bounce back out of the first teleportation device, you can fall past it to the right and then sharply press to the left to land on the platform and grab the large screw. Jump back into the teleportation device after you collect it.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0057](mega-man-9-0057-small.webp)

Jump up to the ledge on your right. Continue right. This is a door to the first boss battle.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0059](mega-man-9-0059-small.webp)
The empty halls before the boss battle give you a chance to change weapons and such. They also act as a continue point, should you die (unless you run out of lives completely.) Walk through the door on your right to enter the boss' room.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0060](mega-man-9-0060-small.webp)

Do the best you can to run away from the Black Hole Bomb.

![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0064](mega-man-9-0064-small.webp)
When you get used to the timing, you can turn around and get a few shots off before Galaxy Man disappears again. Then the cycle will start over.
![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0065](mega-man-9-0065-small.webp)

![Mega Man 9 Walkthrough - Mega Man-9 0066](mega-man-9-0066-small.webp)
