History VideoGame / MegaManRevolution

* MakeMeWannaShout: Amp Man's main power is sonic blasting, a lot of the enemies in his stage have sonic-themed weaponry, and his OG music gives the impression of some sort of sound factory.

** Dr. Light, or at least, Dr. Light while he's on a caffeine high (see SanitySlippage below), is an unlockable character in ''Remix'', as revealed in a livestream by ACE_Spark.

* MythologyGag: Whenever Proto Man sees a Joe-type enemy, he gets angry and gains permanent charge shots as long as the Joes are on screen, including against Goalie Joe, the miniboss of Cryo Man's stage. His hatred of Joes stems from his dialogue against Copy Robot in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.
--> '''Proto Man:''' That madman. Even worse than those Joe robots, to think he'd make something like this!

* DenserAndWackier: ''Remix'' has much more silliness than the original version.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Subverted. While Dr. Remir (in OG) shot the untrustworthy Dr. Wily for his failure, he turns out to be ''[[KnightOfCerebus much]] [[EvilutionaryBiologist worse]]'' than Wily ever tried to be.]]

* ObviousBeta: The earlier versions of this game. The later versions have managed to patch most of the bugs the earlier versions had... most of them, anyways. Sprite INC is making an extra effort to iron out a lot of the obvious bugs and glitches the game has so it can truly shine.

* BonusBoss: ''Remix'' will have some.

* BonusBoss: ''Remix'' will have some.
** Duo is the boss of the Robot Museum stage, and defeating him grants the player Ion Blade.
** As accidentally shown in Mike Crain’s “Magnet Man vs. Pyre Woman” video, it appears that the Mega Man sprite from the Mega Man DOS games will also appear as a boss in a level set in Madagascar.

In the year 20XX, a meteor has crashed onto Earth, its passage unnoticed by all, except for one man. One year after this, robots around the world turn violent, including eight robots built by Dr. Light. Unsurprisingly, the cause is Dr. Wily, who has once again risen to TakeOverTheWorld. This time, he's using a new strain of [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Evil Energy]] (said strain is what he found from the meteor that crashed a year earlier) to corrupt the aformentioned eight Robot Masters. As Dr. Light upgrades Mega Man in order for him to stand a chance against the new threat (giving him the [[VideoGame/MegaManV Mega Arm]] MKII), a scientist named Dr. Neil A. Remir appears, claiming to be an expert on Evil Energy. Proto Man, who’s eavesdropping on the conversation between Light and Remir, is disappointed to see that Light hasn’t learned from his mistakes by trusting Remir (knowing that something’s up with him). Meanwhile, Bass is upset that Wily is underutilizing him yet again. As he's already powerful enough to take on the Robot Masters himself, he goes on his own quest to prove himself to Wily once and for all.

* MultipleEndings: Mega Man and Bass have their own endings.

** Averted in ''Remix'', where it's given the name "Sakana". It's also been reduced to a midboss.
* NonHumanUndead: Ghost Man is a very good example; he is supposed to be a junky robot brought back from the dead (hence the name). Also some of the robots in the stage are seemingly undead as well.
** Reaperbot, the fourth (third in OG) Wily Fortress boss, also qualifies.

* PaperThinDisguise: In ''Remix'', Dr. Remir got some [[https://www.deviantart.com/ace-spark/art/Mega-Man-Revolution-Remix-Dr-Neil-A-Remir-885508559 minor design changes]]. These changes show that he's definitely not what he makes himself out to be. No one else (bar Proto Man) seems bothered by this, however.

** The Needlemice, the mini-bosses of Haste Man's stage, are very blatant ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' references.

* ContinuityNod: One of the sub-weapons that can be unlocked for Custom Man is the [[VideoGame/MegaManRockForce Circuit Breaker]].

* GreenAesop: It turns out that Evil Energy is [[spoiler:something similar to nuclear runoff from the technology used by Remir's race. His people are immune to it, but their ''planet'' is not... well, ''[[DeathWorld was]]'' [[{{Mordor}} not]]]].

* KangaroosRepresentAustralia: Robot kangaroo enemies appear in Sand Man's stage, which is set in Australia.

* PromotedToPlayable: In the Sprite INC updates, Proto Man is planned to be this. His original NPC role will in turn be replaced with Duo, since the game primarily deals with Evil Energy, which Duo himself specifically fights against and thus would make more sense for him to be the one providing support for Mega Man and Bass.
** This was taken further after Mike Crain took back over, where Proto Man was made playable from the start, and also given his own story.

** [[spoiler:The name of Remir 4 is Area [[WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix P A-38]]. The OST reinforces this by outright calling the track "The Place that Sends You Mad".]]

* TerminallyDependentSociety: [[spoiler: Dr. Remir's alien race, having become complacent with their superior technology, and [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair inevitably paid the price for it]] in the form of the Evil Energy their tech produced effectively ''killing'' their home planet. Despite this, Remir still insists on finding a way to make Evil Energy safe(r), leading to the events of the game.]]

** If you die in no-lives mode, a [[VideoGame/ShovelKnight giant bolt with wings appears near the place you have died]].

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Dr. Remir. To access him and the Sondebar Base, you have to collect all of the [=letters/plates=].]]

* OffModel: Many of the new enemies and bosses in the earlier versions are drawn poorly or don't even fit the game's art style. Luckily, this was one of the issues chosen to be fixed by Sprites Inc.

* PaperThinDisguise: In ''Remix'', Dr. Remir got some [[https://www.deviantart.com/ace-spark/art/Mega-Man-Revolution-Remix-Dr-Neil-A-Remir-885508559 minor design changes]], which show that he's definitely not what he makes himself out to be. No one else (bar Proto Man) actually seem to care about these oddities, though.

** Sand Man has one on his right arm to shoot. Fitting as he is a robot cowboy.

* BeamSpam: Haste Man's level is full of killer beams that rain from above.

* BonusLevel: ''Remix'' will have some, with optional rewards for including them, including Evil Energy resistance, [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsGun which is crucial for the final stage]]]]. Three have been shown so far on the Facebook page.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Subverted. While Dr. Remir shot the untrustworthy Dr. Wily for his failure, he turns out to be ''[[KnightOfCerebus much]] [[EvilutionaryBiologist worse]]'' than Wily ever tried to be.]]

* LongRunner: Since 2002 this game has been in development but didn't take off until sometime in 2007.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Amp Man's main power is sonic blasting, a lot of the enemies in his stage have sonic-themed weaponry, and his OG music gives the impression of some sort of sound-factory.

* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:Dr. Remir gives one after being reduced to 1 health unit.]]
