Which hero is best for starting out?

Mega Man—as the series protagonist—offers a balanced play style with blaster abilities that most closely resemble original NES platforming muscle-memory; his learning curve is friendly for mastering classic Robot Master bosses.

How do you obtain hidden weapons?

Each defeated Robot Master grants their weapon, e.g., freezing Ice Man's weapon to later defeat Heat Man; hidden weapons often unlocked after clearing particular stage routes via tournament bracket progress—look for 'boss weaknesses rock-paper-scissors hints.'
