The amount of lives remaining is also indicated below the [[Playable Characters\|player]]'s health bar.
	* The item [[Life]] gives the player an extra life in this mode like in official ''[[Mega Man]]'' games, while also healing the player to full health. Prior to [[1.5.0]], the Life simply added a life to the life counter in this mode, but since 1.5.0, it performs both functions. No more than three lives can be obtained in a ~~same~~ level, so collecting a fourth ~~1-up item~~ does not ~~recharge~~ lives, although it will still recharge the health bar.		* The item [[Life]] gives the player an extra life in this mode like in official ''[[Mega Man]]'' games, while also healing the player to full health. Prior to [[1.5.0]], the Life simply added a life to the life counter in this mode, but since 1.5.0, it performs both functions. No more than three lives can be obtained in the same run in a single level, so collecting a fourth Life in the same run does not add extra lives, although it will still recharge the health bar. Restarting a level from the beginning or from a [[checkpoint]] will allow the player to collect up to three additional lives. The player cannot obtain more lives than they started the Wily Challenge with.
	* [[Tank#E-Tank\|E-Tanks]] and [[Tank#M-Tank\|M-Tanks]] obtained in a level are carried over into the next level played in this mode.		* [[Tank#E-Tank\|E-Tanks]] and [[Tank#M-Tank\|M-Tanks]] obtained in a level are carried over into the next level played in this mode.
	* A new "Skip" button is added to the pause menu and appears only in this mode. It allows the player to skip the current level and play a new one. Originally this option cost a life, but to reduce the user frustrations and mitigate instances like repeated levels, the challenge was modified in version 1.5.0 so that choosing this option would only cost a life if the player has 10 HP or less or while airborne. In such cases, it cannot be used if the player has only 1 life remaining.		* A new "Skip" button is added to the pause menu and appears only in this mode.
