Just go buy Mega Man 9. The level in the demo is the hardest one in the game. That third elephant is a total bastard. You're better off going back to that level when you've got some better weapons from the other robot masters.
I've been playing the Wii version, and I'm now at the (potential spoiler if you've never played a Mega Man game) Wily battle in the end. And by the way, it bugs the hell out of me that my save game is actually at the beginning of Wily's castle instead of at the last stage of Wily's castle. Then again, it's still better than back in the day with no save games... but it's still annoying. In any case, it's classic Mega Man fun all the way if you aren't afraid of a challenge and some pattern memorization.

That comic edit is just sheer brilliance. :D

Thanks Pekka - out of a twist of fate I actually got a review copy of MM9 shortly after I posted the show and so I'm going to be talking about it this week. Once you get used to the pattern the elephant gets easier - I can usually get to Concrete Man only taking a few points of damage - but defeating him with only the Mega Buster is going to take some doing :)
