Unlike the five sequels, in "Mega Man" you fight the six robot masters in the exact same order every time. You fight Cut Man and Elec Man in Stage 2 of Dr. Wily's Castle. In Stage 4, you fight Bomb Man, Fire Man, Ice Man, and Guts Man.

In the sequels, after beating each Robot Master in the teleport room, you get a health refill.

The only game in the classic series to feature points, "Mega Man" implemented that feature during a time when points was one of the major "points" of gaming.

Wisely, the five NES sequels did away with points, focusing rather on story and solid platforming.
