Each game has a similar structure in which the player traverses a series of themed stages to face off against [[boss (video game)|boss]] robots, gain new weapons and abilities, then defeat Dr. Wily in a final confrontation. For the first six titles, an extra feature is the "Navi Mode", originally introduced in the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] (''[[Rockman Complete Works]]'') re-releases of the first six ''Mega Man'' games. Navi Mode adds helpers that provide game hints if the player is in need of help, revises the appearance of the health and weapon energy meters, and revises the weapon subscreens for the first three games. In addition to these eight games, the ''Anniversary Collection'' includes two unlockable [[Arcade game|arcade]] [[fighting game]]s (''[[Mega Man: The Power Battle]]'' and ''[[Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters]]''), which had a limited release outside Japan. These two titles are similar in gameplay but a bit more streamlined. The battles cut straight to the bosses, who get progressively more difficult with each one defeated. 

Some of the games in the collection have minor differences compared to their original releases. Several of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] games have remixed sound. In [[Mega Man 3]] a misspelling of Dr. Wily's name has been corrected. In ''[[Mega Man 6]]'', the arranged music is incorrectly mastered and suffers from extensive peaking. The typo in Mr. X's dialogue given upon defeating him has been corrected. In ''[[Mega Man 7]]'', an instance of the word "damn" was changed to "darn" in order to maintain an all-ages rating. In addition, the graphics of Mega Man walking away from Wily's Castle are absent from the credits sequence, as the developers were unable to port certain [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] graphical effects. In the compilation's version of ''[[Mega Man 8]]'', some of the Robot Masters' voice clips play at incorrect pitches. The PlayStation version of ''Mega Man 8'' is used, as opposed to the [[Sega Saturn]] version which included bonus features and additional boss battles.

Other unlockable elements in the ''Anniversary Collection'' include original art, remixed music, and bonus videos: The [[PS2]] version features the [[television pilot|pilot episode]] of the [[Ruby-Spears Productions|Ruby-Spears]] [[Mega Man (1994 TV series)|''Mega Man'' TV series]], while the [[GameCube]] and Xbox versions feature the ''Mega Man'' episode of [[G4 (American TV channel)|G4]]'s ''[[Icons (TV series)|Icons]]''. The [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] version also includes the first episode of ''[[Mega Man NT Warrior]]'' (based on the ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' game series) and the ability to change the control scheme. The PS2 and Xbox versions include some arranged music for the first six games, also originally present in the ''Complete Works'' versions.
