This patch is meant to make the game a bit easier and less frustrating.
Applying this patch to Mega Man 5 will make the weapon energy of all weapons restore fully whenever a life is lost.
This mechanic is officially applied in Mega Man games for the PS1 and later.
Situations where this primarily affects the game:
Final stages (where mobility items are mandatory for progress)
Boss battles (running out of weapon energy)
