* BagOfSpilling: He left his DoubleJump somewhere near Mega Man's slide and charge shot just in time for ''10.'' Also, his high jump became a long jump instead (although that follows basic Newtonian physics.)

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: When ''X'' and ''Zero'' players get their hands on a copy of GBA ''and Bass'' for the first time, his dash control will seem...obscure (unless you've played ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', at least.)

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: He was built to be TheRival to Mega Man and [[{{VideoGame/MegaMan7}} his original appearance]] had him more or less function like a carbon copy of him, and his incarnations in ''[[VideoGame/MegaManThePowerBattle Power Battle]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan2ThePowerFighters Power Fighters]]'' mostly followed suit. He wouldn't get his signature DoubleJump, rapid fire, or aimable buster until ''[[{{VideoGame/MegaManAndBass}} Mega Man and Bass]]'', with the latter two abilities carried over into ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]''.

* FatalFlaw: His {{Pride.}}
* FragileSpeedster: In ''Mega Man and Bass''. He has the ability to dash and double jump, making him far more mobile than Mega Man. Combined with his rapid fire buster that can aim in any direction, this makes him much better at clearly platforming sections. However he's at a disadvantage against bosses where his mobility is less useful and his rapid fire buster is useless thanks to the bosses' MercyInvincibility.

** According to that same ''Power Fighters'' ending, it is said by Wily, that Bassnium won't be for long the strongest energy on earth, implying that Wily [[CallForward found a superior energy source.]]

** Despite reinforcing his resolve in the above game's ending, he seems to have mellowed out on his threat to eliminate Mega Man...at least, for the time being.

* TheMole: Introduced as an ally, but is actually trying to get on the good graces of the good guys to steal the Super Adapter blueprints for Dr. Wily.

** ''Much more extreme'' in the case of the fan-translated SNES version of ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', where he outright calls Wily - ''his creator'' - "a dirty '''son of a bitch'''".

* PsychoPrototype: In ''The Power Fighters'' Wily tells Bass that he's planning to create a stronger robot by improving on the material he used to make Bass. It was meant to be an aversion, as [[VideoGame/MegaManX said robot]] was supposed to turn the world into an apocalyptic hellhole, but it's ultimately played straight as he is [[AntiAntiChrist firmly on the side of good]].

* AntiHero: In ''Mega Man & Bass'', both arcade games, and as DLC in ''10''. While certainly not a "good guy" by any means, he nevertheless is not nearly as heartless as his ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' counterpart Vile.

** According to that same ''Power Fighters'' ending, it is said by Wily, that Bassnium won't be for long the strongest energy on earth, implying that Wily found a superior energy source.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: "Bass" is pronounced like the musical instrument, not the fish. Except in the eight game, where it is pronounced incorrectly.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Much more an emphasis on the "Jerk" part, but there are some important moments worth mentioning. Duo mentions to Bass (in ''The Power Fighters'') that there is good in him, even though Bass denies it. Case in point, he was able to use Evil Energy without dying and he is very caring when it comes to his pet Treble. Doesn't even have a single known case of Human-related murder in his name (although he does attack his own creator Dr. Wily in anger periodically), likely because of his respect towards the humans for creating the robot race he is a part of (as Bass mentions to King after defeating him for the first time in ''Mega Man & Bass''). Furthermore, he never tries to kill any robot that isn't specifically a combatant, such as Roll or Auto, nor has he ever shown a desire to, and while he's not above stealing powerups made for Mega Man, he'll still opt to face him in single combat, rather than use underhanded methods.

* SmugSnake: And his helmet resembles a cobra head.

* {{Expy}}: Many have commented on the similarity between him and Sigma's pet, [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 Velguarder]].

* OneHitKill: Being punched by its spiked fists is instant death.

** To give a good example, compare the sprite used by MegaMan8BitDeathmatch to a sprite of Mega Man himself. Using a pixel to centimeter ratio and stacking Mega Man's sprite to match Gamma's height, Gamma is 36.025 meters tall!

** In VideoGame/MegaMan7, nobody expected that Bass could say "''Damn!''" Thankfully, in the following re-releases it was replaced with "Darn!"
** ''Much more extreme'' in the English-translated SNES version of ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', where he outright calls Wily - ''his creator'' - "a dirty '''son of a bitch'''".

* {{Expy}}: Born fighter who's almost obsessed with defeating the series' hero and proving himself the greatest fighter alive. He's not afraid to help his rival out in order to eventually beat him himself, either. The hero is his to defeat. Are we describing Bass or [[DragonBall Vegeta]] here?
