-->-- '''Rick & John, announcing The Mega Let's Play'''
The younger, bigger brother of 2013's ''LetsPlay/TheDPadTheLegendaryLetsPlay''. Not satisfied with playing a dozen or two games and being done with it, TheDPad opted to try something different as a followup to the first Franchise Play experiment, by declaring that they would play the ''entire'' ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise, rather than just the "core series".
On December 17, 2014 (while ''The Legendary Let's Play'' was wrapping up), The D-Pad released an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfOTEE9yQz4 announcement teaser] for the series, showing off the 64 games they intend to tackle (though some previously missed games have since been added to the mix). The series began with a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMxlGr8PKYg Capcom retrospective] on January 19, 2015, and has released daily video content since then, including standard LetsPlay videos, an opening and closing analysis of each game they play, and even reviews of the various televised ''Mega Man'' media in a crossover with ''{{WebVideo/Seriesly}}''.
Due to the scope of the project and the limitations of YouTube playlist sizes, the series is split into several parts on YouTube. The overall block of videos is viewable in a [http://dpad.fm/mega special dashboard playlist], and more links are listed on the series' [[Recap/TheDPadTheMegaLetsPlay recap page]].
!! Provides examples of:
* BonusEpisode: Rick and John specifically kept their hands off the controller for ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' for fear of blasting through it too quickly to enjoy. To make up for that, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2rYd4ZL2iA they held a race to see who could beat the game faster.]
* BonusMaterial: The ''{{WebVideo/Seriesly}}'' crossover episodes feature reviews of the [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon]] from TheNineties and the [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior ''Battle Network''-inspired anime]] from the TurnOfTheMillennium. While they weren't essential to the viewing experience of the Let's Plays themselves, the former reinforced the Mega Let's Play's growing {{Metaplot}}, while the latter helped inform the backdrop to ''[[UsefulNotes/Wonderswan Rockman.EXE WS]]''.
* ContinuityNod: The ending to ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]'' takes place [[spoiler:in an alternate timeline where the Legendary Let's Play never ended, and the team never played any ''Mega Man'' games at all.]]
* CrossOver: With ''{{WebVideo/Seriesly}}'', three times so far. While it's mostly an InNameOnly crossover, it's actually used as a plotline in the third crossover, with Ben mimicking the standard BondGunBarrel intro the review series started each video with.
* EarWorm: The intro and outro are provided by remix artist [https://studiostevewallace.bandcamp.com/ "Studio" Steve Wallace], and marks the first music actively licensed for use in a D-Pad video series.
* ExplicitContent: Verbally, at least.
* Metaplot: [[Metaplot/TheDPadTheMegaLetsPlay has its own page]]
* LetsPlay: Over 370 episodes by the end of January 2016.
* SignificantReferenceDate: The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfOTEE9yQz4 announcement trailer] was released on the 27th anniversary of the original ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Mega Man]]'', and the 21st anniversary of ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX1 Mega Man X]]'' in Japan.
