Trivia

 * This is Keiji Inafune's favourite Mega Man game.
 * This is the first Mega Man game that shows the map of Wily Castle.
 * This is the first Mega Man game to have Dr. Wily create his own set of Robot Masters, instead of using someone else's.
 * This is the first Mega Man game to have the "Teleport System" when encountering the Robot Masters again.
 * This is the first Mega Man game to have Energy Tanks, although the player could only carry four, instead of nine as in later installments.


 * Like the first game, using a Game Genie on Mega Man 2 will cause the music to be riddled with quirks and odd sounds.
 * Quick Man's stage is taken from this game and is used as Dr. Wily's fortress stage in the Game Gear Mega Man game.
 * Also, Shadow Devil's stage in Mega Man X5 and QuickMan.EXE's stage in MegaMan Network Transmission are similar to Quick Man's stage.
 * Many ideas that were not used in the original Mega Man game, due to cart size limitations, were recycled for Mega Man 2.
