Trivia / Mega Man 5

• Banned in China: The game was banned in Vietnam due to Napalm Man's stage containing obvious references to The Vietnam War.
• What Could Have Been: A Japanese promotional tape depicts early versions of some of the Special Weapons, with some being noticeably different; Star Crash was a single orbiting star that homed in on enemies instead of a shield, Gravity Hold stopped time instead of damaging all onscreen enemies, and the Gyro Attack could be moved in multiple directions without limit.
