The content of "Mega Man MegaWorld" is mainly the content of the 1st to 3rd generations that originally appeared on the FC red and white machine. Rock Man works are included together, but don’t think it’s just a simple content transplant. In fact, although the content of the levels has not changed, the entire image of the game has been greatly improved, the colors are more vivid, and Rock Man has become slightly more handsome. The music has also been re-arranged and produced, and compared with 8-bit style music, there is a very obvious difference!

"Wily Tower" (WilyTower). In this project, Dr. Wily created three more powerful combat robots to fight Rock Man to the death. Their shapes are also very special, referencing the three characters from the Chinese mythology story "Journey to the West". Characters: Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and Zhu Bajie. After the player defeats all three of them, they can fly to the Willy Tower where Dr. Willy is and have a life-or-death showdown with him.

In addition, their numbers begin with "MWN" (normal power). Dr. Wily's robot number starts with DWN, which stands for "Dr. WilyNumbers"), which is specially made for the MegaWorld game. These three robots are quite special. Among them, Sun Wukong will appear twice, and Zhu Bajie is the rare one who has 2 lines of health bars.
