Mega Man 7 Secrets!-
The Super Adapter-
You have to collect the R, U, S, H plates.
Freeze Man-
You got to play the stage until you reach the end of the area after the icicle bot section. Use the upper ladder. You will enter a room with an H at the top. Get it.
Junk Man-
Alright, you are going to need Freeze Cracker for this one. Play the stage up to the part with the lava. Then use Freeze Cracker to freeze the lava fall. go through the wall and climb down the ladder. You then drop down next to another lava fall. Freeze that lava fall, and go into the cove where you find S. Get it.
We interrupt this page for the letter S, for Super Adapter. Which you will get when you finish collecting the letters.
Burst Man-
Play the stage until you find an R.
....What?! You thought there would be something special or secret about it?!
Cloud Man-
You could also use Freeze Cracker for this. When you come across the second weird weather changing robot, it appears that no matter WHAT you do, nothing happens. Use Freeze Cracker on it. It will make an invisible platform challenge later in the level easier. In the middle of that platform challenge, there is a floating platform with a ladder. Climb the ladder and get an extra life. Go to the left and you get the U.
The Rush Utilities-
Rush Jet-
The Rush Jet Utility is a little easy to get. Play Junk Man's stage until you get to the vertical section with the weird platforms next to the ladders, with the roomba blenders. Use Thunder Bolt (the weapon you get from defeating Cloud Man) to power the platforms. Shoot the weird looking thing at the bottom. You then go up to the little cove with the box in it at the top. That box is Rush Jet.
Rush Search-
You can use this utility to save you some bolts in the shop.
In order to get this, you'll have to play Freeze Man's Stage. Keep going until you get to the split path two screens after the part with the H letter. Go along the top. You will soon come across a box. That is Rush Search.
The Exit Utility-
The Exit Utility is carried from the Mega Man X series. It allows you to leave a revisited stage like a scared little pussy cat. How you get it, is simple. Go to the end of Freeze Man's Stage and use Rush Search next to the edge of the ledge near the boss doors. You can buy this in the shop, for like, 200 bolts. If you find the Hyper Bolt, you can buy it for 100 bolts.
The Beat Whistle-
Some of you have seen a random ladder in Cloud Man's stage. If you climb that ladder, you see Protoman. He says, "Use the Flame Weapon in the Woods." Some of you didn't even know what that meant. Later you get the Flame Weapon (Scorch Wheel), and/or see the Woods (in Slash Man's stage). So, use the Flame Weapon in the Woods. The last tree in the section hides a ladder. Climb it, and find Beat the Bird. Charge your buster and shoot the cage. You get three Beat Whistles. You can buy more in the shop for 80 bolts, but only after you find Beat. If you find the Hyper Bolt, you can get it for 40.
The Proto-Shield-
This is the best thing to get in the game. It blocks EVERYTHING. It is the BEST SHIELD WEAPON EVER!!! You have to see the Proto Man in Cloud Man's stage, then in Turbo Man's stage (after the moving tire section, go through the wall next to the ladder at the very top of that section), then destroy the INTERIOR of the Van Pookin mini boss in Shade Man's Stage. Go through the wall behind the Sniper Joe enemy. Go through the boss doors, and fight Proto Man for his Shield.
Then, go up to the Sniper Joe enemy outside, and get up REAL CLOSE to him, and hear an obnoxious noise.
The Energy Equalizer-
Okay, in order to get both the Energy Equalizer AND the Proto Shield, you'll have to revisit Shade Man's stage.
This time when you get to the Van Pookin mini boss, destroy the EXTERIOR. You'll get a different path. You must play to the near end. Go underneath the picture of Wily and use Rush Search. You will get the Energy Equalizer, instead of having to buy it at the shop after finding the Hyper Bolt for 240 bolts.
Ok. That's pretty much it.
Go on. Shoo!
Oh. You want to know about the Hyper Bolt, don't you?
Well, here you go.
The Hyper Bolt-
The Hyper Bolt adds more items to the shop, and splits the previous items' cost in half. Go to Spring Man's stage. Enter that big open room (yes, the one that takes FOREVER to get out of) and go to the uppermost left corner, and flip the punching block so it faces the left wall. It will punch the wall in, and you can enter the room. You should see a weird looking bolt on the left side. That is the Hyper Bolt.
You have to collect the R, U, S, H plates.
