| 1 | ''Make a Good Mega Man Level'' and its sequels have its own interpretation of the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' canon... and incorporates non-''Mega Man'' games into its canon at the same time! As a result, characters in the games are a little crazy. |

| 6 | See Characters/MegaManClassic for the official interpretations of these characters. Only tropes that apply to these games should be used here. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | !!Mega Man (Rockman) |
| 9 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_-_mega_man_5248.jpg]] |
| 10 | Mega Man, known as Rock in his original form, is the main protagonist of the series. Built by Dr. Light to be a lab assistant, Rock volunteered himself to be upgraded into a Super Fighting Robot to stop the evil plans of Dr. Wily. The games themselves act as celebrations of his many victories over Dr. Wily. He is the only character to be playable in every ''Make a Good Mega Man Level'' game. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. While Mega's still quite powerful, he no longer has his PowerCopying abilities, instead using a pre-loaded set of weapons. |
| 13 | * CutsceneBoss: He's this in the intro stage of ''Episode Zero''. After you reach him, the game cuts to a time card saying "Five minutes later" followed by the base's self-destruction. |
| 14 | * WeirdnessMagnet: Over the course of the games, he gets attacked by sentient pictures of milk, badly drawn clones of himself, characters and enemies from other series, and title screens that spit out enemies. His adventures here are a ''little'' bizarre. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | !!Eddie |
| 17 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eddiecw_912.jpg]] |
| 18 | A support robot created by Dr. Light who, ever since he was introduced, has appeared throughout stages to give Mega Man a random item drop. This makes his effectiveness vary, as sometimes he can give you something extraordinary (like an E-Tank), but other times he can give you something rather minor (like weapon energy). Some suspect that Eddie is secretly evil, though there is currently little evidence to support this. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * SecretShop: Runs a shop unbeknown to Dr. Light in the basement. |
| 21 | * VideoGameCrueltyPotential: It is possible to kill off Eddie in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'' through using Slash Claw against him. Doing so prevents him from showing up in stages. He still runs the shop, [[spoiler: and still appears in the [[VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Seven Force]] fight to assist you]]. |
| 22 | * YoureInsane: Eddie's reaction to the player showing up with the bolt counter maxed out. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | !!Dr. Wily |
| 25 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wilycw_3931.jpg]] |
| 26 | A stereotypical mad scientist, he schemes to take over the world, creating several robots to help him. Though Wily's schemes were stopped time and time again, this did not stop him from being recorded in history as a legendary mad scientist, his legacy continuing even into the next century. He, for some reason, likes wiggling his eyebrows before going in his capsule (on some games). |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * BigBad: Naturally, it's ''Dr. Wily'' after all. Averted, however, for ''Episode Zero'' where [=SRARA=] serve as the main antagonists. |
| 29 | * CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: Accidentally creates a dodgy decoy robot that becomes self-aware. |
| 30 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: One of his last ditch attempts to destroy Mega Man in ''2'' involves [[spoiler: him ramming his craft into Mega Man's spaceship. Said craft is also [[TooDumbToLive his escape pod]].]] |
| 31 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: In ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'', he manages to create [[spoiler: a cannon capable of distorting reality itself.]] |
| 32 | * SanitySlippage: Shown as undergoing this during ''Episode Zero'' as he works on [[spoiler:the Reality Core]]. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | !!Knight Man |
| 35 | A combat robot who entered into the First Annual Robot Tournament, where he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily under the guise of Mr. X. In ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'', he runs the Chateau Chevaleresque, and will give rewards for collecting certain amounts of [[MacGuffin Noble Nickels]]. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * BloodKnight: His reason for the player giving him Noble Nickels. [[spoiler:Once they are all collected, he reveals his true intention to defeat Mega Man, wanting to prove himself in combat once more.]] |
| 38 | * RetiredBadass: Once a powerful combat robot, Knight Man now spends his days tending to his bar. [[spoiler:Once Mega Man collects all the Noble Nickels, however, he shows that he's ''far'' from out of the game.]] |
| 39 | * ShoutOut: [[spoiler:His boss fight and the cutscene leading up to it include several references to works outside the official ''Mega Man'' series:]] |
| 40 | ** [[spoiler:When he obtains all the Noble Nickels, he states "I will have it in me". This is a reference to the ending of ''VideoGame/MegaManRockForce'', where Plant Man says "You know, I didn't think Knight Man had it in him" during part of the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue.]] |
| 41 | ** [[spoiler:Phase 2 and 3 of the fight reference ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'', with the second phase being a battle in space with free movement and the third phase being a battle on the moon's surface, complete with the moon exploding into the same crescent shape.]] |
| 42 | ** [[spoiler:His SuperMode in the third phase sports golden hair, an obvious nod to [[Franchise/DragonBall Super Saiyans]].]] |
| 43 | ** [[spoiler:One of his attacks in Phase 3 involves [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders stopping time, throwing a flurry of blades, then letting time flow again.]]]] |
| 44 | ** [[spoiler:Another attack in Phase 3 of his fight is directly lifted from [[Videogame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Magolor Soul]].]] |
| 45 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:Gains one during his Super Boss fight.]] |
| 46 | |
| 47 | !!Volt Man |
| 48 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_2746.PNG]] |
| 49 | -> Artwork by [[https://tsuki-no-michi.deviantart.com/ Tsuki-no-michi]] |
| 50 | A boss from ''[[VideoGame/MegaManDOS Mega Man]]'' on DOS, Volt Man has the dubious honour of being one of the most overused devkit bosses in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2''. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Can combine with other copies of himself, and form the EldritchAbomination called Volt Man the the Assimilator]]. |
| 53 | * ArmoredButFrail: His Force Field weapon can block almost any attack, but he can't take much punishment without it. |
| 54 | * TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:The Volt Men's ultimate goal is to assimilate until there is nothing but Volt Men.]] |
| 55 | * BarrierWarrior: His Special Weapon is the Force Field, which he uses for both offense and defense like most shield-bearing Robot Masters. |
| 56 | * {{Cephalothorax}}: Like several other Robot Masters, he doesn't really have a head. |
| 57 | * GlassCannon: Takes heavy damage from the Mega Buster, but makes up for it by having absolutely painful attacks himself. |
| 58 | * HiveMind: [[spoiler:When together, all the Volt Men speak in union.]] |
| 59 | * PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:One of the Volt Men takes Eddie's place in the shop. The disguise is a clearly crude drawing on a cardboard box.]] |
| 60 | * RecurringBoss: Appears the most of any boss in the game. |
| 61 | * WolfpackBoss: Turns out the reason he shows up so often? [[spoiler:There's a lot of him.]] |
| 62 | |
| 63 | !!Agent Roslyn Krantz |
| 64 | |
| 65 | !!Toad Man |
| 66 | An agricultural robot who appeared in ''Mega Man 4''. He tends to be viewed as weak. |
| 67 | * ButtMonkey: Toad Man doesn't get a lot of respect. ''Especially'' in ''Episode Zero'', where Yamato Man openly mocks him, and one late-game level features him as a joke boss who dies in one hit from any weapon! |
| 68 | * RecurringBoss: Not to the extent of Volt Man above, but he's fought several times over the course of ''2'' and ''Episode Zero''. |
| 69 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Knives' conversation at Lily Airfield indicates that he somehow survived being sliced in half by Scooby Doc at the end of ''Scooby Doc 4''. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | !!Galaxy Man |
| 72 | A space research robot who appeared in ''Mega Man 9''. He runs the Pit of Pits. |
| 73 | * {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:In the second game, he can be fought at the end of the Pit of Pits]]. |
| 74 | * UnexpectedShmupLevel: [[spoiler:Galaxy Man's battle disables Mega Man's normal gravity.]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !!Yamato Man |
| 77 | A combat robot who appeared in ''Mega Man 6''. He manages the dojo seen in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'' and ''Episode Zero''. |
| 78 | * BadBoss: Subverted. He seems to be this in ''Episode Zero'' based on what you hear from his construction workers, but if anything it's a result of ''their'' shoddy craftsmanship and his frustration towards them. |
| 79 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: You get his phone number after you defeat him in ''Episode Zero'', after which he can give you tips during boss fights. |
| 80 | * OptionalBoss: He's the boss of the optional level "Mojo Dojo" in ''Episode Zero''. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | !!Pirate Man |
| 83 | A combat robot who appeared in ''Mega Man & Bass''. He runs a radio show that Zero can tune into in ''Episode Zero''. |
| 84 | * {{Superboss}}: [[spoiler:After beating ''48 Hour'', you can get his location from a Kaizock aboard the SS Elroy to find and battle him.]] |
| 85 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: While his radio show is mostly inane ramblings, he ''does'' offer good tips on occasion, like which levels serve as good currency grinding locations. |
| 86 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Of course ''Pirate'' Man runs a ''pirate'' radio show. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | !!Duo |
| 89 | An alien robot out to fight for justice and destroy Evil Energy. He appears in Episode Zero to assist Zero in the game's climax. |
| 90 | * AssistCharacter: Aids Zero during the final boss fight, primarily by shielding him from the boss's BulletHell attacks and charging up a powerful attack of his own to weaken him and allow Zero to finish him off. |
| 91 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: He attacks Zero by mistake at first. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | !!Quint |
| 94 | Mega Man from a peaceful future that was modified by Dr. Wily to fight against Mega Man in the present. |
| 95 | * AdaptationalBadass: Unlike in canon, he has more than just one easily avoidable attack. In fact, he jumps around and attacks more aggressively and can launch rocks farther than in canon. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:Original Characters]] |
| 100 | !!Zero |
| 101 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeroart_5.png]] |
| 102 | [[caption-width-right:350:Zero in ''Episode Zero''[[labelnote:Click to view [=MaGMML2=] artwork]][[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeroart.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | Originally a hastily-built decoy robot, built only to slow Mega Man's escape from Wily Castle, he somehow gained sentience and became angry at Dr. Wily for using and discarding him. He rebelled against Wily, and is a [[spoiler: supporting character and the TrueFinalBoss]] of the second game. He serves as the protagonist and PlayerCharacter of ''Episode Zero''. |
| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * AdaptationalBadass: He's a ''lot'' stronger and faster in ''Episode Zero'' than in the rest of the series. |
| 107 | * AdaptationalWimp: In stark contrast to his ''X'' series self, Zero in the ''[=MaGMML=]'' series is incredibly weak. His primary trait is his [[StoneWall ridiculously effective armor]], but he has no innate abilities beyond that; he can't even deal a single point of damage to Mega Man by himself. Even in ''Episode Zero'', where [[LightningBruiser he's at his strongest]], his abilities like his weapons and elemental chips are given to him by others instead of being earned or naturally acquired. |
| 108 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Is the main character of ''Episode Zero''. |
| 109 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:After his creation, Absolute ZERO, is defeated in ''2'', he ascends into the sky, his purpose in life fulfilled.]] |
| 110 | * BattleBoomerang: Using the Cutter Chip, he shoots this. He can shoot out [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} four of these around him]] using the Blank Drive. |
| 111 | * BodyHorror: His mouth is where his lungs would be if he were a person, and despite being a robot, he is fairly organic-looking. |
| 112 | * BossSubtitles: [[spoiler:Zero Soul gets the subtitle "Soul of Souls" in ''[=MaGMML=] Remastered''.]] |
| 113 | * CanonWelding: [=MaGMML=]'s Zero is [[spoiler:partially made from the remains of the prototype Zero from ''VideoGame/MegaManUnlimited'']], explaining his apparent sentience and free will. |
| 114 | * {{Cephalothorax}}: His face is on his chest. |
| 115 | * CloudCuckoolander: Clearly not all there in the head, given his ramblings and musings to himself. This is mostly in ''[=MaGMML2=]'', as Zero is substantially more sane in ''Episode Zero''. |
| 116 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler:In spite of his mad ramblings, it turns out he is exactly correct in regards to the dangers of the festival.]] |
| 117 | * {{Fanboy}}: ''Episode Zero'' has a few scenes where he expresses a desire to be like Mega Man and ultimately prove himself as a WorthyOpponent to Rock. He also expresses full confidence that Mega Man can stop Wily's Reality Core scheme. |
| 118 | * ForWantOfANail: WordOfGod states that the events of the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series onward are no longer possible in the [=MaGMML=] continuity due to [[spoiler:the original Zero prototype breaking down]]. |
| 119 | * GadgeteerGenius: Capable of creating giant robots in his visage, and they're fairly threatening. [[spoiler:Although they tend to break down spectacularly after enough battle damage.]] |
| 120 | * {{Gonk}}: He's not a very appealing robot; not only looking like a warped and monstrous version of the original Zero, but also looking disturbingly organic. |
| 121 | * GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:He's quite proud of Mega Man when he manages to beat Absolute Zero. Zero's defeat animation even makes it look like he's ''bowing'' to Mega Man out of respect]]. |
| 122 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler:In ''2'', he uses [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Zinnia's theme]], which plays whenever he shows up as the MysteriousStranger (and after Absolute ZERO's defeat).]] |
| 123 | * LightningBruiser: His ''Episode Zero'' incarnation has a dash functionality and powerful weapons in the Z-Saber and Z-Burst, and only gets more Lightning and Bruiser with the Zap Chip equipped. |
| 124 | * MysteriousStranger: [[spoiler:He hides his identity in the second game by covering himself in a cloak.]] |
| 125 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Zero Soul, the final boss of The Arena in the first game.]] |
| 126 | * PromotedToPlayable: ''Episode Zero'' revolves around Zero and his own unique moveset. |
| 127 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Speaks in very long-winded dialogue in the second game and ''Episode Zero''. |
| 128 | * ShoutOut: [[spoiler:His Zero Soul form is a reference to the recurring "Soul" bosses in the Franchise/{{Kirby}} series. ''Remastered'' takes this a step further by giving him the BattleBoomerang and raining paint attacks used by most Soul bosses.]] |
| 129 | * StylisticSuck: His spritework is intentionally crude and choppy. In ''Episode Zero'', he has more fluid sprites, though this can be disabled. |
| 130 | * TakeThat: His concept mocks the idea of fangames having the real Zero as the final boss. |
| 131 | * WalkingSpoiler: Knowing about him ruins the joke of his appearance in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level''. His involvement in the sequel's plot also gives away quite a bit. |
| 132 | * WorthyOpponent: He sees Mega Man as one, and wants Mega Man to see him in the same light. |
| 133 | * ZeroEffortBoss: Except for his Zero Soul form, his battles have a tendency to be this; with his battle in the first game, [[spoiler:Absolute ZERO's last phase, and Zero Heart]] being unable to do much more than knock Mega Man back without hurting him. And the latter can't even do that much! |
| 134 | |
| 135 | !!Simulation Recon and Regulation Administration |
| 136 | The main antagonists of ''Episode Zero'', this group -- consisting of blue variants of the Up n' Down, Shield Attacker, Sniper Joe, and Met enemies -- have been suspiciously attempting to inspect the simulations featured in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'' for reasons unknown. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AIIsACrapshoot: The reason they're so crazy is [[spoiler:they have the same AI chips as Justice Man.]] |
| 139 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: They may be clumsy and moronic, but they can still put up a good fight. [[spoiler:They also accidentally resurrect [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Trio]] thanks to corrupting the Energy Elements.]] |
| 140 | * BigBad: Collectively the group is this, but SRARA Met is the only one with any actual plans. |
| 141 | * BossRush: [[spoiler:You face off against all of them at once in their final fight in Null and Void.]] |
| 142 | * EyepatchOfPower: SRARA Met has a metal one bolted over their right eye. |
| 143 | * InSeriesNickname: SRARA Up n' Down and SRARA Shield Attacker call each other Uppity and Shieldy, respectively. |
| 144 | * InTheirOwnImage: [[spoiler:Their actual plan is to use Energy Elements and Tier X to create their own perfect world]]. |
| 145 | * {{Leitmotif}}: They use [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the Ultra Recon Squad's]] theme when talking to Zero and their battle theme when fighting him. |
| 146 | * MisterBig: SRARA Met is about the same size as Up n' Down (if not slightly shorter), but serves as the team's leader. |
| 147 | * SomethingAboutARose: SRARA Joe's favorite thing in the world is roses. |
| 148 | * QuirkyMiniBossSquad: A band of recurring {{King Mook}}s that serve as the game's antagonists. |
| 149 | * SayingTooMuch: A running gag has either SRARA Up n' Down or SRARA Shield Attacker almost spill the beans on their plans before the other one stops them from saying too much. |
| 150 | * SinisterShades: SRARA Met, Shield Attacker, and Up n' Down have them as part of their "festival inspector" disguises (though Met keeps theirs perched on top of their helmet), and even the group's logo is a silhouette wearing a pair of sunglasses. |
| 151 | * VillainousFriendship: Within the group, SRARA Up n' Down and SRARA Shield Attacker have a close relationship and are almost always encountered alongside one another. Though, they're always bickering and it's more of a case of VitriolicBestBuds. |
| 152 | * WakeUpCallBoss: SRARA Up n' Down is fought shortly after the Giant Spear Man and does not use simple attack patterns. |
| 153 | |
| 154 | !!Knives |
| 155 | A young woman with a knife in her hair bun and a crush on Zero. |
| 156 | ---- |
| 157 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: As her postgame sidequest progresses, Zero grows increasingly sick of her. |
| 158 | * ConspiracyTheorist: And how. Just to name a few, she believes that Wario and the Giant Spear Man are both agents of the Illuminati, that the alien creatures in Contra Base are a front for performing heart surgery on a really big person, that Horizon Zero is a distraction from "real issues like the giant rubber duck", and she believes the Double Helix Earth theory. |
| 159 | * ImprobableHairstyle: So much so that she had to glue her hair knife in place. |
| 160 | * ImYourBiggestFan: How she greets Zero. |
| 161 | * MadeOfIron: Apparently she was hit by three cars over the course of her life. |
| 162 | * NoodleIncident: Absorbed multiple liters of Bone Power, had a bad falling-out with clay as a kid, |
| 163 | * ParentalAbandonment: Neither Zero nor Knives wants to know what her parents were like. |
| 164 | * ShoutOut: Her sidequest is heavily based on the Yancy/Curtis sidequest from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' |
| 165 | * StalkerWithACrush: She reveals that she's been watching Zero over the course of the game. |
| 166 | * VagueAge: All that's confirmed about her age is that she is in fact an adult. |
| 167 | * WalkingSpoiler: She only appears after defeating the final boss of the game. |
| 168 | |
| 169 | !!The Box Cartel |
| 170 | The main antagonists of the ''48 Hour'' contest. A crime syndicate consisting of robots eager for recognition from Dr. Wily, they hijack the cruise ship that Mega Man and his family are vacationing aboard. |
| 171 | ---- |
| 172 | * BigBad: Don Atetemino is the Box Cartel's leader, and thus the antagonist of the game as a whole. |
| 173 | * ChestMonster: Kamikamin, just like in [[VideoGame/MegaManAndBass his source material]]. |
| 174 | * CriminalFoundFamily: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, the five of them become this.]] |
| 175 | * DoppelgangerSpin: Dockalocker is fought in a giant locker room, where he can attack Mega Man with copies of himself from other lockers. (The real one is always the one with the hat.) |
| 176 | * ILied: [[spoiler:Don Atetemino conned the others into joining him, having [[DefectorFromDecadence already defected from Dr. Wily]] prior to creating the Box Cartel and being unable to fulfill his promise of getting them in Dr. Wily's good graces.]] |
| 177 | * LastVillainStand: [[spoiler:Even when Don Atetemino knows he can't defeat Mega Man when they meet face-to-face, he stays behind in the Cartel Hideout to fight anyway so that the rest of the Box Cartel can escape. While he isn't actually ''killed'', he's ready to serve his sentence when he's defeated.]] |
| 178 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: Like SRARA above, they're {{King Mook}}s that serve as the game's antagonists. |
| 179 | * TestosteronePoisoning: Blocky is obsessed with his manly image and admires Dr. Wily's own manliness. |

| 217 | |
| 218 | !!!Tropes applying to the judges as a whole: |
| 219 | * AuthorAvatar: Starting from ''[=MaGMML2=]'' onward, judges are represented by their avatars, and judges from the first game have their avatars represented on the Wiki. [[spoiler:[=ACESpark=] and [=JupiHornet=] have their avatars as playable skins.]] |
| 220 | * CausticCritic: [=ACESpark=], the British judge, was one of the more highly critical judges in ''[=MaGMML2=]'', although he also gave positive feedback if he felt a level did something right. |
| 221 | * CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer: [=Duvi0=]'s judge comments, ostensibly a result of [=Duvi0=] having thought the other four judges of the first contest said everything that needed to be said critically, can come across as this, as they are less comments on the levels and are given in the form of jokes. |
| 222 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [=JupiHornet=] has mentioned that he still hasn't gotten over predicting that Cruise Elroy's "Sheriff Man" would make it to the Top 10 in his official review of the level, [[FailedFutureForecast only for it to place]] ''[[FailedFutureForecast 11th]]''. [[spoiler:There's also an entire question in "[[PopQuiz Deep Thoughts]]" devoted to poking fun at him for using Rush Jet to cross two-tile gaps in his judging livestream. Poor guy gets it hard.]] |
| 223 | * ThemeNaming: All of Pachy's levels are named "Just A [noun] Level" ("Ice" in ''2'', "Space" in ''48H'', and "Judge" for the level they created to apply for ''[=MaGMML3=]'' judge). |
| 224 | * UnexpectedCharacter: The representations of Mick Galbani & [=ACESpark=] appear in the "Judge Application Stage" mini game that was released, as [=NPCs=]. This mini-game and the stages within are non-canon. This is the only in-game appearance of any of the Judges outside of judge comments. |
| 225 | * UpThroughTheRanks: Mick Galbani & [=ACESpark=] are returning to host the third game, having both previously been judges. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | !!Davwin Armanios |
| 228 | [[quoteleft:209:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image4_9.png]] |
| 229 | |
| 230 | The only Judge representative to actually appear in the game with a speaking role, in the form of Judge comment comics. They are also unlockable as a playable skin. There is talk of these Judge comment comics being continued via the twitter, furthering their role in the series, but they're otherwise not considered part of the story line. |

| 232 | * ButtMonkey: The gags in the lower-ranked stage reviews often leave poor Davwin in some less than stellar circumstances. |
| 233 | * FurryReminder: The result of the Airflow Hubble gag has a human doctor asking whether they require a Doctor or a Vet. |
| 234 | * GoMadFromTheRevelation: Happens to them as the result of judging Airflow Hubble. |
| 235 | * NonHumanNonBinary: The wiki lists Davwin's gender as "gender-fluid", and uses non-binary pronouns. |
| 236 | * SelfImposedChallenge: Their unlock condition requires you to defeat all of [[VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Seven Force]]'s forms using only the Mega Buster. |
| 237 | * StunnedSilence: After judging the level Snow Man, this is Davwin's only reaction to the excited level creator detailing his creation. |
| 238 | * WordOfGay: ACE has confirmed the character's sexuality and gender indentity on the wiki and in chatrooms, but this is not present in [=MaGMML2=] for obvious reasons. |

| 248 | !!Entry Bosses |
| 249 | [[folder:''Make a Good Mega Man Level'']] |
| 250 | !!Wily Archives |
| 251 | |
| 252 | A set of capsules similar to the Weapons Archive from ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'', using the data of fortress bosses instead of regular Robot Masters. They serve as the midbosses and main boss of Research Facility. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * CallBack: Aside from the obvious one to ''Mega Man 10'', the bosses featured in the Wily Archives include [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 the Yellow Devil]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Mecha Dragon]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Kamegoro Maker]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Cossack Catcher]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Dark Man 3]], and [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Mechazaurus]]. |
| 255 | * CompositeCharacter: The Wily Capsule Archive node uses attack patterns from multiple Wily Capsules, including the infamous ''VideoGame/MegaMan7'' Capsule. |
| 256 | * SequentialBoss: Like the Weapons Archive before it, the Wily Archives are split into three groups throughout the level, with each group (aside from the last one) featuring three bosses, ordered by game. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | !!The Moon |
| 259 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_836.PNG]] |
| 260 | A small moon from ''VideoGame/{{Cocoron}}'' that serves as the midboss of NEON GRAVITY. [[spoiler:It reappears in ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'' as one of the three secret bosses found in Tier 10.]] |
| 261 | ---- |
| 262 | * GravityScrew: It has its own gravitational pull. |
| 263 | * OptionalBoss: [[spoiler:In the second game.]] |
| 264 | * PlayingWithFire: Its one attack has it spit fireballs at Mega Man. [[spoiler:The second game plays this up even more by adding several different fire attacks to its arsenal.]] |
| 265 | * {{Telefrag}}: [[spoiler:One of its new attacks in ''2'' is teleporting to Mega Man's current location.]] |
| 266 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Goes from being a simple midboss in the first contest to a full-fledged boss in the second game.]] |
| 267 | |
| 268 | !!Gravity Machine |
| 269 | |
| 270 | [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Gravity Man]] piloting a large floating mech, serving as the boss of NEON GRAVITY. |
| 271 | ---- |
| 272 | * CallBack: The machine's design is directly based on the [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Cossack Catcher]]. |
| 273 | * FlunkyBoss: Summons Ring Rings each time it stops to attack. |
| 274 | * GravityScrew: Not by itself, but it takes full advantage of the Ring Ring's own gravitational pull to make its attacks more difficult to dodge. |
| 275 | * OutOfFocus: [[spoiler:Ends up as the only boss from the first contest's top three entries not to appear in the second game, with The Moon taking its place as a secret boss. Even Ronrez makes an appearance in Tier X.]] |
| 276 | |
| 277 | !!Ronrez |
| 278 | |
| 279 | A group of robots based on Reznor from VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld. They serve as the midboss of Mega Man World. [[spoiler:They also reappear in the second game as the boss of the Tier X level Swiss Hotel.]] |
| 280 | ---- |
| 281 | * BreathWeapon: They spit fireballs straight forward. [[spoiler:In the second game, they instead spit their fireballs directly at Mega Man.]] |
| 282 | * TookALevelInBadass: Subverted. [[spoiler:While they are promoted to boss battle status in the second game and now aim their fireballs at Mega Man, they still lack invincibility frames, and they actually have less health than in the first contest.]] |
| 283 | * WolfpackBoss: Fought in a group of four, like their inspiration. |
| 284 | |
| 285 | !!Birdo |
| 286 | |
| 287 | A robotic version of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' character, and the boss of Mega Man World. [[spoiler:It reappears in the second game as one of the three secret bosses found in Tier 10.]] |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * BreathWeapon: Simply spits small bullets straight forward. [[spoiler:Its arsenal gets significantly upgraded in the second game, and now includes fireballs, large bouncing projectiles, and eggs.]] |
| 290 | * OptionalBoss: [[spoiler:In the second game.]] |
| 291 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Gets a full health bar and a new set of attacks for its reappearance in the second game.]] |
| 292 | |
| 293 | !!Glass Man |
| 294 | [[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_6157.PNG]] |
| 295 | -> Artwork by Phusion |
| 296 | A Robot Master with the ability to create glass, and the boss of the stage of the same name. [[spoiler:He reappears in the second game as one of the three secret bosses found in Tier 10.]] |
| 297 | ---- |
| 298 | * BarrierWarrior: His main attack is a glass wall that can push Mega Man and deflect projectiles. |
| 299 | * GlassWeapon: Glass walls and glass balls, to be specific. [[spoiler:The second game adds glass spikes and spiked glass balls into the mix.]] |
| 300 | * OptionalBoss: [[spoiler:In the second game.]] |
| 301 | * OrbitingParticleShield: [[spoiler:Can use his glass walls as this in the second game.]] |
| 302 | * SphereFactor: At low health, he will sometimes encase himself in a giant glass ball and bounce around the room. |
| 303 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Not as much as the other examples above, but in the second game, he gets a second health bar and a few brand-new attacks.]] |

| 306 | [[folder:''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'']] |
| 307 | |
| 308 | !!Crator, Cream, and Kichona |
| 309 | |
| 310 | A trio of characters fought at the three ends of Tier 2's Yggdrasil, hailing from Zatsupachi's ''Cutezome Mythos''. |
| 311 | ---- |
| 312 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: |
| 313 | ** The three lack CollisionDamage unlike most ''Mega Man'' bosses, which is a blessing given their erratic patterns and high damage values. |
| 314 | ** None of the three are fought in the Mega Arena, owing to their unreasonably high difficulty. |
| 315 | * CombatMedic: Kichona sports a nurse's hat, and uses a giant syringe as her weapon of choice. |
| 316 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Kichona uses, of all things, a giant syringe to both guard and attack, healing herself if it hits Mega Man. |
| 317 | * KillEnemiesToOpen: Kichona's door won't open until both Crator and Cream have been defeated (in other words, playing through Yggdrasil at least two times). |
| 318 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: The three resemble chibified humans (or, as Garirry far less-charitably put it, "bad [[OriginalCharacter OCs]]") more than anything in the ''Mega Man'' artstyle. Even their sprites lack the black outline ''Mega Man'' sprites often have. |
| 319 | * NoSell: Outside of the Mega Buster, if any of them are hit with a Special Weapon that's not their weakness, then they deflect it entirely. |
| 320 | * OneHitKill: Cream's hammer does 28 points of damage if it hits Mega Man. For reference, that's the total number of hit points he has. |
| 321 | |
| 322 | !!Color Man |
| 323 | |
| 324 | A palette-swapped Guts Man fought at the end of Tier 2's Something Original. Instead of boulders, he throws Color Blocks. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * PaletteSwap: The only distinguishing aspect of him is that he looks like Guts Man, but with a mismatched paint-job (likely referencing his level being a hybrid of existing ''Mega Man'' levels). Even his "official art" is simply Photoshopped Guts Man art. |
| 327 | |
| 328 | !!Chomp Man |
| 329 | |
| 330 | A Robot Master with a Wanaan for a head, apparantly built by Dr. Cossack. He is fought at the end of his eponymous stage in Tier 3. |
| 331 | ---- |
| 332 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:Together with Combust Man, he's battled as Chimerabot 2 in the sixth Wily Star II stage.]] |
| 333 | * GreenThumb: The Chomp Claw (a weapon he himself never uses) lets Mega Man fire a miniature Wanaan into the air, which creates a vine that he can climb up. |
| 334 | * HeadSwap: His in-game sprites resemble Gravity Man's, albeit colored green and grey and with a Wanaan for a head. |
| 335 | * JungleJapes: His level is a high-tech base in the middle of the jungle. |
| 336 | * KingMook: He resembles a Wanaan, a ground-based mook from ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'', with a humanoid body. |
| 337 | * ManBitesMan: His main method of attack is biting Mega Man with his head. |
| 338 | * RecurringBoss: In addition to being [[spoiler:one half of Chimerabot 2]], Chomp Man appears in the [[spoiler:Tier X]] level, Deep Thoughts. |
| 339 | |
| 340 | !!Bowser |
| 341 | |
| 342 | The iconic ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' villain, fought at the end of Tier 3's [=SMB3=]. |
| 343 | ---- |
| 344 | * {{Fireballs}}: As you'd expect Bowser to, he fires three of these in quick succession in his boss fight. |
| 345 | * MovesetClone: His AI is an edited version of Guts Man (who was included in the devkit as a boss), though his boulder-tossing attack is replaced with a volley of three fireballs. |
| 346 | * MythologyGag: His weakness is the Super Arrow; a weapon that attaches to walls via a suction cup at the tip, making it look like a plumber's plunger. According to the MaGMML wiki, it's more specifically a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' episode "Robo-Koopa" (in which King Koopa and Mario fought in mech suits, with the latter's having plungers for hands). |
| 347 | |
| 348 | !!Combust Man |
| 349 | |
| 350 | A Robot Master fought at the end of his eponymous stage in Tier 3. He has all sorts of powers relating to combustion... most prominently, ''self''-combustion. |
| 351 | ---- |
| 352 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He's combined with Chomp Man to form Chimerabot 2 in the Reality Core.]] |
| 353 | * MadeOfExplodium: One hit is all it takes to blow him up. |
| 354 | * PlayingWithFire: Presumably, he has fire-related abilities, but the only one we see him display is self-combustion. [[spoiler:Chimerabot 2, however, makes much greater use of them.]] |
| 355 | * PunnyName: Combust Man dies... or rather, ''combusts'' from one hit by anything. |
| 356 | * ZeroEffortBoss: All he does is stand in place and wait to be shot at. The only thing that ''doesn[='=]t'' destroy him in one shot is Mario when playing as him via Cheat Mode. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | !!Taco Man |
| 359 | |
| 360 | A Robot Master whose head is a giant taco, fought at the end of his eponymous stage in Tier 3. |
| 361 | ---- |
| 362 | * AntagonistTitle: His level is named after him. |
| 363 | * HeadSwap: His body is a recolored Elec Man sprite, with a giant taco sporting a face replacing the head. |
| 364 | * HellIsThatNoise: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFBoQK-eATw His stage music]] is considered this by the Judges. The SoundTest (which names it "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA") even attributes its composition to {{Satan}}. |
| 365 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Small tacos, big tacos, he fittingly uses tacos as his main weapon. |
| 366 | * TheUnintelligible: According to his profile in ''Episode Zero'', he has a defective voice synthesizer that renders him unable to speak properly. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | !!Alien |
| 369 | |
| 370 | A multicolored alien that, though resembling [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Wily's holographic alien]], is very much real. It is the boss (and only real threat) of Tier 4's Alien Temple. |
| 371 | ---- |
| 372 | * AliensAreBastards: Before the fight, it states its intention to capture Mega Man alive or dead just for stepping into the titular temple. |
| 373 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: One of a few entry bosses to have pre-fight dialogue, and it has no problem with the English language. |
| 374 | * BlindedByTheLight: The Flash Stopper is able to freeze it in place. |
| 375 | * BossOnlyLevel: Alien Temple is primarily a boss fight with it, with only two screens featuring no enemies or hazards preceding it. |
| 376 | |
| 377 | !!Neon Man |
| 378 | |
| 379 | A Robot Master armed with lasers and holographic capabilities. He is encountered at the end of his namesake stage in Tier 4. |
| 380 | ---- |
| 381 | * EnergyWeapon: Neon Man's main weapon of choice is a SpreadShot of four lasers. |
| 382 | * FlunkyBoss: One of his attacks has an Apache Joe fly in and drop a red ball that bounces around the arena while following Mega Man. |
| 383 | * MasterOfIllusion: During his boss fight, he replaces the background of his arena with that of a scrolling city. This motif is present throughout his stage as well, with Holograns manipulating the graphics to scroll to the left, obscuring what's solid and what isn't. |
| 384 | |
| 385 | !!CATS |
| 386 | |
| 387 | The [[MemeticMutation memetically infamous]] main antagonist of ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'', fought as the boss of Tier 5's AD 2101. |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * BlindedByTheLight: The Flash Stopper can freeze him in place; probably not too surprising, given his blatant copying of Pharaoh Man's attack pattern. |
| 390 | * EasterEgg: Using the Flash Stopper and the Slash Claw (both of which are effective on him) causes him to yell "FLASH!" and "SLASH!" respectively. |
| 391 | * MovesetClone: His boss pattern is virtually identical to that of Pharaoh Man, who was included as a devkit boss. Rolling Cutter attacks are also added. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | !!Joe Man |
| 394 | |
| 395 | A Robot Master resembling a common Sniper Joe, located at the end of his namesake stage in Tier 6. In that same level is an upgraded (but physically identical) version known as Joe Man R, with higher health and damage output. |
| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: Joe Man R's high difficulty led to him being one of the few bosses excluded from the Mega Arena. |
| 398 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: In what is almost certainly a jab at Joe Man R's infamous difficulty, Joe Man reappears in the [[spoiler:Tier X]] stage Metallic Ocean, where he promptly fills up ''ten'' healthbars... [[spoiler:and promptly explodes, leaving his Energy Element free for the taking. Incidentally, Metallic Ocean was created by the same person who created Joe Man, making this a case of SelfDeprecation]]. |
| 399 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He forms one half of Chimerabot 1 with Bond Man in Reality Core.]] |
| 400 | * KingMook: He's effectively a Sniper Joe elevated to the level of a Robot Master. |
| 401 | * LogicalWeakness: The Slash Claw can pierce shields and cut apart Joe enemies very easily, and the same holds true for Joe Man. |
| 402 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He carries a shield with him, as you'd expect a Sniper Joe would. Just like them, it prevents Mega Man from damaging him while he has it out in front of him. |
| 403 | * OptionalBoss: Joe Man R, a much harder version of Joe Man who can be fought after defeating his normal counterpart. Defeating him earns the player a Nobel Nickel. |
| 404 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: In addition to the standard Sniper Joe gun, he attacks with grenades and landmines. Joe Man R takes it up a notch by running around his room while leaving a trail of landmines behind him. |
| 405 | |
| 406 | !!Match Man |
| 407 | |
| 408 | A Robot Master resembling a giant matchstick with a face, found at the end of Tier 7's Gunpowder Cellar. |
| 409 | ---- |
| 410 | * BlownAcrossTheRoom: In the hands of the player, the Match Blast propels them in the opposite of the direction it's aimed in (if it isn't aimed, it propels them upwards slightly). |
| 411 | * BossArenaIdiocy: Averted; despite being a literal match in a cellar of gunpowder (with barrels of the stuff in the background of his arena), his location does nothing to affect him. |
| 412 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He's combined with Force Man into Chimerabot 4 in the Wily stage Reality Core.]] |
| 413 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Match Man looks nothing like a robot (let alone a Robot Master), instead looking like a literal giant matchstick with a face. He doesn't even have any limbs or stylized details akin to Heat Man (another Robot Master themed after an inanimate object). |
| 414 | * PlayingWithFire: Like Heat Man, he protects himself by lighting himself on fire (naturally, he does this by striking himself on the ground), and using the Match Blast to send waves of fire out towards Mega Man. |
| 415 | |
| 416 | !!Cursor |
| 417 | |
| 418 | A sentient mouse cursor who causes trouble for Mega Man in the Tier 7 level Cursor Curse. It returns in ''Episode Zero'' in Cursor Corruption to mess with Zero. |
| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: At the start of the level, it tries to delete Mega Man by right-clicking, as a real mouse cursor would. It even drags around and creates objects to impede him. |
| 421 | ** Taken even further during Cursor Corruption, when it cuts Zero and pastes him into the second half of the stage. |
| 422 | * FlunkyBoss: During its fight, it summons all manner of mooks to attack Mega Man for it, and even before then it aids Volt Man in a fight midway through the stage. It repeats this strategy when fighting Zero, but adds a few new moves. |
| 423 | * HelpfulMook: In Cursor Corruption, it's sometimes of the Accidentally Assisting variety, because the explosions from its Delete attack are needed to destroy certain types of blocks. |
| 424 | * KingMook: It uses the sprites of the Pointan enemy from ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'', though Pointans themselves ironically aren't present in the game. |
| 425 | * OneHitKill: Fittingly, its "delete" attack at the start of the stage is this. It isn’t this in Cursor Corruption. |
| 426 | * ProactiveBoss: Before the fight against it at the end, it annoys the player by trying to delete them, placing down objects that impede their progress, and even dragging away the Energy Element. |
| 427 | |
| 428 | !!The Kid |
| 429 | |
| 430 | The main protagonist of ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' and the boss of Tier 7's Spiky Situation. |
| 431 | ---- |
| 432 | * AdaptationalBadass: For starters, he's not nearly as [[OneHitPointWonder squishy]] as he was in his source game. Additionally, he's as big as The Guy was, and he uses Delicious Fruit for his attacks. |
| 433 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: When fought in the Mega Arena, the player teleports out before his LastDitchMove can hit them. |
| 434 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The pattern his attacks take is telegraphed by the colour of the Delicious Fruit above his head (which varies from red, green, blue, and yellow). |
| 435 | * GreenThumb: Delicious Fruit, once the bane of The Kid's existence, is used against Mega Man in a variety of ways. |
| 436 | * LastDitchMove: Upon his defeat, the Delicious Fruit above his head will explode into a larger spread of smaller fruit that can harm Mega Man. |
| 437 | |
| 438 | !!Avoidance Cherry |
| 439 | An extra boss that can be challenged after beating The Kid in Spiky Situation. All Mega Man can do is survive its attacks. |
| 440 | ---- |
| 441 | * AnimateInanimateObject: It's a giant Delicious Fruit. |
| 442 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: Owing to the inability to use E Tanks and copious amount of RNG in its attack patterns, the Avoidance Cherry isn't fought in the Mega Arena. |
| 443 | * HoldTheLine: The boss cannot be defeated directly; the player can only win by surviving its numerous barrages. |
| 444 | * ObviousRulePatch: In addition to disabling Mega Man's ability to fire, the player cannot pause the game to use an E Tank and tank damage until they win. Notably, it's the ''only'' boss in the game to do this. |
| 445 | * OptionalBoss: After defeating The Kid, the Avoidance Cherry can be "fought" to obtain a Noble Nickel. |
| 446 | * PuzzleBoss: Mega Man cannot fire when fighting the Avoidance Cherry; the only way to defeat it is to avoid its attacks as its health gradually dwindles. |
| 447 | |
| 448 | !!Doc Robot |
| 449 | One of a series of powerful robots that can use the programming and abilities of other robots, Doc Robot is battled at the end of Tier 7's Ruined Lab, where it uses the attacks of various devkit bosses. |
| 450 | ---- |
| 451 | * AdaptationalBadass: Doc Robots were no slouches in ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' by any stretch, but this one has three health bars and uses several Robot Master weapons at once. |
| 452 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: In the Mega Arena, Doc Robot's health is lowered from three bars to one. |
| 453 | * BattleBoomerang: Cut Man's Rolling Cutter is among its large arsenal. |
| 454 | * DeadlyDisc: The Metal Blade is one of its many attacks. |
| 455 | * EnergyWeapon: Both the Gemini Laser and the Laser Trident are at Doc Robot's disposal. |
| 456 | * GreenThumb: Occasionally, it uses the Plant Barrier, but it is unable to harm Mega Man directly. |
| 457 | * MovesetClone: Doc Robot's two movement patterns are taken from Crash Man (walk back and forth, jump high in the air and attack when Mega Man fires) and Gemini Man (walk back and forth, jump up a short distance whenever Mega Man fires). |
| 458 | * SpreadShot: Instead of the Centaur Flash, Doc Robot instead copies Centaur Man's spread shot move. |
| 459 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: One of its many attacks includes Crash Man's Crash Bomber. |
| 460 | |
| 461 | !!Force Man |
| 462 | A Robot Master motifed around Quick Man and his deadly OneHitKill lasers (referred to by some fans as "Force Beams" from a ''Magazine/NintendoPower'' issue, hence the name). He appears in his eponymous stage in Tier 8. |
| 463 | ---- |
| 464 | * ArmCannon: Like a few canon Robot Masters, Force Man has two in place of hands. |
| 465 | * DeathOfAThousandCuts: His Force Beam is present as an Alter Weapon, where it has this effect; for every frame it touches an enemy, it deals damage (ignoring shields and invincibility frames). However, it drains energy for every second the fire button is held. |
| 466 | * DynamicEntry: Rather than falling into his room as most Robot Masters do, Force Man warps in with a teleport effect styled after (what else?) a Force Beam. |
| 467 | * EnergyWeapon: His Force Beam, natch. His stage uses them quite prominently as well, with some even growing at an ''incredibly'' slow rate. |
| 468 | * {{Expy}}: His design draws a ''lot'' of inspiration from Quick Man; both have V-shaped head crests, a red, yellow, and black colour scheme, an intro where the head crest shines, and a tendency to run around a lot. |
| 469 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:In Reality Core, he's combined with Match Man to form Chimerabot 4.]] |
| 470 | * OneHitKill: Of course a robot who uses Quick Man's lasers would have this. Unlike the Force Beam he usually fires, however, the ones that kill with one hit are telegraphed via skulls that show up in the spot they're due to come down from. |
| 471 | |
| 472 | !!Crusher Joe |
| 473 | The prototype of a Robot Master named "Crusher Man", as depicted via a Sniper Joe with treads and a front-mounted Press. It's one of the main bosses of Tier 8's Conveyor Mayhem. |
| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * AnArmAndALeg: Using the Slash Claw, Force Beam, Haunt Pumpkin, or Truffle Cluster on Crusher Joe's treads will destroy them, preventing it from doing anything except using its crusher attack. |
| 476 | * TheGhost: Crusher Joe's pre-fight dialogue states it is a prototype of a future Robot Master named Crusher Man. However, no other reference to this robot exists. |
| 477 | * KingMook: Like Joe Man, it's a Sniper Joe elevated to the level of a boss. |
| 478 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Its front-mounted Press doubles as a shield for Crusher Joe's body. |
| 479 | * SpikesOfDoom: The Press in front of it retains the spikes at its base like all Presses do. Thankfully, like all Presses, these spikes aren't instantly lethal as most ''Mega Man'' spikes are. |
| 480 | * TankGoodness: It has tank-like treads, though instead of a turret, it has a side-mounted Press. |
| 481 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: It uses different coloured Jet Bombs from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'' as projectile attacks. |
| 482 | * TurnsRed: After losing enough health, it moves faster and fires six Jet Bombs at a time instead of four. |
| 483 | |
| 484 | !!Bond Man |
| 485 | The infamous phantom Robot Master, planned for the original ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' before being scrapped when the boss number was lowered to six. He appears in his eponymous stage in Tier 8. |
| 486 | ---- |
| 487 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:Becomes part of Chimerabot 1 with Joe Man in the Wily stage Reality Core.]] |
| 488 | * MovesetClone: Though his projectiles are different, his A.I. is edited from a devkit boss; namely, Crash Man. |
| 489 | * NostalgiaLevel: Thematically, his level is intended to evoke the feel of the original ''Mega Man'', with every non-custom enemy hailing from that game. |
| 490 | -->'''[=ACESpark=]:''' You aped the style of ''Mega Man 1'' stages without resorting to the worst aspects of that game, and put some honest to goodness creativity into repurposed dev-kit assets. |
| 491 | * StickySituation: Bond Man attacks with globs of glue that freeze Mega Man if they hit him. The arena is also covered with glue that slows down Mega Man's movement; this glue is also present throughout his stage, alongside glue Devils and Glue Tellies. |
| 492 | |
| 493 | !!Cirno |
| 494 | An ice fairy from the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series, who appears as the boss of Tier 9's Misty Lake. |
| 495 | ---- |
| 496 | * BulletHell: This being a ''Mega Man'' game, it's less pronounced, but still her primary method of attacking the player. |
| 497 | * CollisionDamage: Averted; she deals no damage if Mega Man touches her (not that it's a good idea to be close to her, anyway). |
| 498 | * AnIcePerson: One of her attacks is three circles of ice shards that spread out in different formations. |
| 499 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Her sprite depicts her with a red scarf over her mouth, in a reference to ''VideoGame/TouhouMother''. |
| 500 | |
| 501 | !!Donut X |
| 502 | A giant robot based on the Nightmare Snake miniboss from ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'', and the boss of Tier 9's Donut Observation Center. |
| 503 | ---- |
| 504 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The four green cores on each side of its body are the only vulnerable parts of the boss. |
| 505 | * {{Ouroboros}}: Like the original Nightmare Snake, this is what it is. However, due to its shape, it's been humorously re-envisioned as a large donut. |
| 506 | |
| 507 | !!Groovity Man |
| 508 | A Robot Master that's Gravity Man, but blue. His attacks, however, couldn't be more different. He's fought as the boss of Tier 9's Rad Gravity. |
| 509 | ---- |
| 510 | * PaletteSwap: Physically, he looks identical to Gravity Man, but with his colours swapped around. |
| 511 | * ShoutOut: His boss fight is a big one to the Raphael the Raven from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'', with the fight taking place on a small moon and Groovity Man using many of Raphael's attacks. Kamek even appears in the pre-fight cutscene, riding Dr. Wily's UFO instead of his broomstick. |
| 512 | |
| 513 | !!Captain Viridian |
| 514 | The hero of ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' and main boss of Tier 9's Sector Upsilon 6. In lieu of fighting Mega Man personally, [[AmbiguousGender they]] use a giant mech similar in appearance to an Octoper OA. |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * AdaptationalBadass: Here, Captain Viridian has an Octoper-style mech to battle Mega Man with. Justified as ''VVVVVV'' has no enemies to fight, hence Viridian's lack of offensive capabilities in the source game. |
| 517 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The mech is vulnerable only in the cockpit, where Captain Viridian is piloting it. |
| 518 | * GravityMaster: Captain Viridian doesn't use it themself, but the fight involves a set of gravity flippers across the top and bottom of the screen... and no solid ground to stop on. |
| 519 | * HumongousMecha: They pilot a large, energy-projectile spewing robot for the boss fight. |
| 520 | * TurnsRed: After losing the first health bar, Viridian goes offscreen while firing a barrage of projectiles that must be dodged while the player constantly flips gravity. Eventually, they come back and resume the same attack pattern from before. |
| 521 | |
| 522 | !!Mush King |
| 523 | A giant mushroom robot who appears as the miniboss of Tier 9's Truffle Man. |
| 524 | ---- |
| 525 | * HavingABlast: One of its attacks is shooting a long stream of explosions straight towards Mega Man. |
| 526 | * HoppingMachine: With no arms or legs, Mush King's one and only means of moving around its arena is by jumping. |
| 527 | * MushroomMan: It's a robot styled after a large mushroom, though it has typical ''Mega Man'' googly eyes and can move around by jumping with its "stalk". |
| 528 | |
| 529 | !!Truffle Man |
| 530 | A Robot Master built to resemble a humanoid mushroom, who appears as the boss of his self-named stage in Tier 9. |
| 531 | ---- |
| 532 | * MushroomMan: His head has a large spotted cap akin to a mushroom, and the rest of his body is coloured like a mushroom's stalk. Despite this, however, his actual attacks have nothing to do with mushrooms. |
| 533 | * SpreadShot: He never uses it himself, but the Truffle Cluster (an Alter Weapon based on him) fires a spread of four explosive spores, whose angle changes between firing in the air and on the ground. |
| 534 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: In lieu of any actual mushroom-themed weapon, Truffle Man instead drops mines that create large columns of explosions. The Truffle Cluster based on him is similarly explosive, only instead of mines the projectiles are spores. |
| 535 | |
| 536 | !!Kelbesque |
| 537 | One of Draygon's [[EliteFour Finest Four]] from the NES game ''VideoGame/{{Crystalis}}''. He appears as the boss of Tier 9's Mount Sabre. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * DishingOutDirt: One of his attacks involves summoning a cluster of rocks that flies towards Mega Man. |
| 540 | * PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Of the five judges, ''not a single one'' knew what he or his stage were referencing. |
| 541 | * VillainExitStageLeft: As in his source game, Kelbesque runs off the top of the screen after his defeat (though he still emits the classic Robot Master explosion). |
| 542 | |
| 543 | !!Guts Man Duo |
| 544 | A duo of mass-produced Guts Man copies found at the end of Tier 9's Guts Man's Asteroid. Though they act identically to the original, they attack the player simultaneously. |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | * DishingOutDirt: They toss boulders, as Guts Man does, but sometimes they'll throw a Caricarry from ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' at Mega Man. |
| 547 | * DualBoss: Although the two are battled at the same time, they share the same health bar and take equal damage, no matter which Guts Man is shot. |
| 548 | * EasterEgg: A hidden gap in the floor of their arena lets the player talk to the other Guts Man copies below; all of them have unique dialogue. |
| 549 | * MythologyGag: The final Wily stage of the original ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' had a corridor with several gold-coloured copies of Guts Man in the ceiling.[[labelnote:*]]What's not immediately clear is that Wily's first base, rather than being a Wily Castle as in later games, was a robot factory (leading to many assuming the copies are merely statues).[[/labelnote]] Not only are the two based on this concept, but their room has several other copies, some of which can be talked to. |
| 550 | |
| 551 | !!Sheriff Man |
| 552 | A gunslinging Robot Master with a sheriff motif, armed with the Badge Barrier. He appears as the boss of his namesake stage in Tier 9. |
| 553 | ---- |
| 554 | * ArmCannon: He has a buster styled after a revolver, even shooting metal bullets as opposed to the usual solar bullets. |
| 555 | * BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Sheriff Man uses fairly old bullets despite being an advanced robot in an era where energy weapons are commonplace. |
| 556 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:Together with Cyber Man, he forms Chimerabot 5 in the final Wily stage.]] |
| 557 | * OrbitingParticleShield: Like most shield weapons in ''Mega Man'', the Badge Barrier is made up of four large star badges, which he sends out one by one akin to Jewel Man. Appropriately enough, the Badge Barrier takes the place of the Jewel Satellite when Alter Weapons are used. |
| 558 | * RecurringBoss: A refight with him occurs in the [[spoiler:Tier X]] level Deep Thoughts. |
| 559 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: He has a red neckerchief, in keeping with his sheriff motif. |
| 560 | * TheSheriff: Whether he holds any real authority or not is unclear, however. |
| 561 | |
| 562 | !!Boil Man |
| 563 | A Robot Master resembling a giant boiler, found at the end of his eponymous stage in Tier 10. |
| 564 | ---- |
| 565 | * BubbleGun: He can pump water into the floor and make bubbles appear under Mega Man. Normally not a problem, were there not spikes lining the ceiling of his arena. |
| 566 | * DoubleJump: By firing a blast of steam from his ArmCannon, he can jump twice or even three times in the air before landing. |
| 567 | * HighPressureEmotion: His intro animation depicts him literally boiling up, complete with red glow and steam cloud. |
| 568 | * PlayingWithFire: His main projectile attack is lobbing fireballs at Mega Man, which create flame pillars on impact with the ground. These same pillars are made when he lands from a jump. |
| 569 | |
| 570 | !!Turbo Roost |
| 571 | A giant bird robot miniboss found in Tier 10's Launch Man & Shuttle Man. |
| 572 | ---- |
| 573 | * FeatheredFiend: It's styled after a bird, even flying using wings it flaps with. |
| 574 | |
| 575 | !!Dennis |
| 576 | A Metall who has achieved numerous transformations in an attempt to be noticed by Dr. Wily. He appears as an optional miniboss in Tier 10's Launch Man & Shuttle Man. |
| 577 | ---- |
| 578 | * MorphicResonance: All of Dennis's transformations are little more than every version of the Metall enemy included in the game's devkit. |
| 579 | * OneHitPointWonder: Since Dennis's transformations are just Met variants, most of them go down with one hit (and Special Weapons and Charge Shots can blow through several in one hit). |
| 580 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Dennis thinks highly of himself and his power, yet remains unnoticed by Wily and is fairly easy to take down. |
| 581 | * WellDoneSonGuy: A log entry in his room reveals he wants nothing more than Dr. Wily's admiration, down to achieving the ability to transform just to destroy his master's enemies. |
| 582 | |
| 583 | !!Air Devil |
| 584 | A robot that resembles a fusion between the Yellow Devil and Air Man. It appears in Tier 10's Launch Man and Shuttle Man, just before the titular Robot Masters. |
| 585 | ---- |
| 586 | * BlowYouAway: When splitting apart, it becomes several small tornadoes resembling Air Man's Air Shooter. |
| 587 | * CyberCyclops: As a Yellow Devil copy, it has a single red eye that doubles as its weak point. |
| 588 | * DetachmentCombat: Like all of the other Devils, its main method of attack is splitting apart and reassembling on the other side of the screen. |
| 589 | |
| 590 | !!Launch Man & Shuttle Man |
| 591 | A pair of Robot Masters based on a space shuttle and the fuel tank/boosters used to send it into space. They both fight Mega Man at the end of their namesake stage in Tier 10. |
| 592 | ---- |
| 593 | * AscendedExtra: Launch Man is the only contest stage Robot Master to appear as an NPC, where he acts as a means of transport to and from [[spoiler:Tier X]]. |
| 594 | * CombatMedic: Shuttle Man can heal Launch Man by 3 HP if he's still alive before the latter performs his diving attack. |
| 595 | * CoolAirship: The two are fought on an airship owned by Dr. Wily (the level is spent going from the ground up towards it). |
| 596 | * DualBoss: The two have separate health bars and attack simultaneously, but Launch Man is considered the primary Robot Master of the two; he takes less damage from attacks than Shuttle Man, he'll keep fighting if Shuttle Man is destroyed first, and Shuttle Man will [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere run away from the battle]] if Launch Man is destroyed. |
| 597 | * HoverBoard: The Shuttle Jet Alter Weapon is effectively an upgraded Item-2; while riding it, Mega Man can speed it up or brake it entirely. |
| 598 | * PlayingWithFire: One of Shuttle Man's attacks is creating a large fireball and throwing it down at Mega Man. |
| 599 | * ProactiveBoss: Downplayed, but the duo swipe the Energy Element from the Air Devil once Mega Man is only a screen away from their door. |
| 600 | * {{Roboteching}}: The Launch Rocket does this once it's near Mega Man. However, rather than swerving down, it swerves ''up''... while dropping two bombs below it. |
| 601 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Defeating Launch Man while Shuttle Man is still alive will cause the latter to panic, then fly away. |
| 602 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Launch Man's Launch Rocket, which is a guided missile that drops two bombs when it flies upwards. |
| 603 | |
| 604 | !!Cyber Man |
| 605 | A Robot Master from the fangame ''Mega Man Final 3: The Legacy Lives On'', now with a drastically altered design. He appears as the boss of his eponymous stage in Tier 10. |
| 606 | ---- |
| 607 | * DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Averted with his Alter Weapon, the Cyber Distorter. Once enemies are frozen, Mega Man can fire in seven directions, including diagonally. |
| 608 | * FloatingLimbs: Cyber Man's arms and legs float separately from his torso and head. |
| 609 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He's combined with Sheriff Man to form Chimerabot 5 in the final Wily stage.]] |
| 610 | * MatrixRainingCode: His stage is filled with several flashing 0s and 1s, and the Cyber Distorter causes the same effect on frozen enemies. |
| 611 | * TimeStandsStill: To a lesser effect, his Cyber Distorter (at least in the player's hands); when using it, enemies are frozen with a binary overlay. |
| 612 | * TurnsRed: After reaching 11 points of health, a conveyor in his arena activates, moving Mega Man to the right constantly. |
| 613 | * VillainTeleportation: He frequently teleports around his arena during his boss fight. |
| 614 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Originally, Cyber Man was little more than a PaletteSwap of Junk Man, but his appearance in this game gives him a more distinct appearance. |
| 615 | |
| 616 | !!8 Centipeder Tower |
| 617 | A giant centipede robot found at the end of Tier 10's Beneath Sand and Rock. |
| 618 | ---- |
| 619 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Though significantly anthropomorphised, it is clearly modeled on a centipede. |
| 620 | * DishingOutDirt: One of its attacks has it drop boulders onto Mega Man after ramming into a wall. |
| 621 | * PunnyName: Its name sounds like "eight centimeter tower", while being a large centipede. |
| 622 | |
| 623 | !!Hall Master |
| 624 | A miniboss battled before facing Quarantine Woman. It is the giant hand of a larger creature. |
| 625 | ---- |
| 626 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: Another hand is seen upon entering Quarantine Woman's room, before she subsequently destroys it. |
| 627 | * JumpScare: Just as you're walking up to the boss door, it bursts in without warning. |
| 628 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: In stark contrast to the robots of the ''Mega Man'' series, the Hall Master is very much an organic creature, one that wouldn't look too out of place in ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''. |
| 629 | * TheUnfought: Notably, it's one of the few original bosses to be excluded from the Mega Arena, despite not being overly difficult like other excluded bosses (such as the Yggdrasil trio or Joe Man R). |
| 630 | * TheUnreveal: All we see of the creature are its hands. |
| 631 | |
| 632 | !!Quarantine Woman |
| 633 | A Robot Master with a gas mask and a gun loaded with a toxic substance. She appears as the boss of her own stage in Tier 10. |
| 634 | ---- |
| 635 | * BadPowersBadPeople: The ''[=MaGMML=]'' wiki describes her Hazard Trapper as using a toxic substance, and the Dr. W sign outside her door suggests she may be one of Dr. Wily's creations. |
| 636 | * BossInMookClothing: A rather literal example; in her intro, she first appears dressed like one of the many Hazmat Joes running across her stage. That is, until she strips the suit off to reveal her true form as the fight begins. |
| 637 | * ChargedAttack: She never uses it herself, but the Hazard Trapper Alter Weapon can be charged up to rapidly fire eight blobs. |
| 638 | * TheFaceless: She wears a gas mask that completely obscures all facial features. It's difficult to tell if there's a face underneath it, or if it ''is'' her face. |
| 639 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:Together with Neapolitan Man, she forms Chimerabot 3 in the last Wily stage, Reality Core.]] |
| 640 | * GiantWallOfWateryDoom: One of her attacks has her summon a large tidal wave of a toxic substance and ride it towards Mega Man. |
| 641 | * LongHairIsFeminine: The only thing to suggest she's even a woman under the gas mask is her long hair. |
| 642 | * NonIndicativeName: Her name would suggest she works to contain hazardous materials and creatures, yet her main weapon involves toxic substances. Plus, the Dr. W sign outside her door doesn't speak highly of her moral alignment... |
| 643 | * PoisonousPerson: She uses a toxic substance as her main weapon; both as the Hazard Trapper in blob form, and as a giant wave that she rides. |
| 644 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her mask has an unsettling red visor that blocks any possible eyes hiding underneath (assuming the visor isn't her actual eyes). |
| 645 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: While not the only female boss in the contest stages (Cream, Kichona, Cirno, and Captain Viridian [[[AmbiguousGender possibly]]] are also present, as is Splash Woman as a devkit boss), she ''is'' the only original Robot Master to be female. |
| 646 | * SpamAttack: She fires her Hazard Trapper several times in one shot, creating several blobs to avoid. As an Alter Weapon, it functions similarly for Mega Man, and even has a low ammo consumption rate to encourage its use as this. |
| 647 | * WolverineClaws: Her right hand has a long set of claws that she uses to slash Mega Man if she gets close to him. |
| 648 | |
| 649 | !!Mixerlydia |
| 650 | A giant ice-cream mixer miniboss fought several times in Tier 10's Neapolitan Man. |
| 651 | ---- |
| 652 | * AbnormalAmmo: Somehow manages to top Neapolitan Man himself by using ''literal drops of ice cream'' for offense. |
| 653 | * AnIcePerson: It attacks by mixing a large pool of ice cream, scattering drops of it across the arena. |
| 654 | * RecurringBoss: One of the few custom minibosses to appear more than once in their stage, as well as appearing in [[spoiler:Tier X]]'s Deep Thoughts. |
| 655 | |
| 656 | !!Neapolitan Man |
| 657 | A Robot Master themed after neapolitan-flavoured ice cream. He acts as the boss of his same-named level in Tier 10. |
| 658 | ---- |
| 659 | * AbnormalAmmo: His Neapolitan Bomb, which is motifed around ice cream (if it isn't literally ice cream). |
| 660 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The colour/flavour of Neapolitan Bomb he shoots telegraphs its effect; vanilla/white splits into four diagonal directions, chocolate/brown splits into four cardinal directions, and strawberry/pink splits into eight projectiles with a much smaller range. |
| 661 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He is combined with Quarantine Woman to form Chimerabot 3 in Reality Core.]] |
| 662 | * AnIcePerson: Well, An Ice Cream Person; the bulk of his attacks are motifed around ice cream. |
| 663 | * SpreadShot: In addition to his Neapolitan Bomb's debris, he can fire clumps of ice cream in a three-way spread shot. |
| 664 | * TurnsRed: After losing his first health bar, a pit in his arena opens up, which spells death for Mega Man if he falls into it. |
| 665 | |
| 666 | !!Haunt Man |
| 667 | A spectral Robot Master with the power to "possess" statues and use unique skills based on them. He appears in his eponymous stage in Tier 10, the third-highest-ranked stage in the game. |
| 668 | ---- |
| 669 | * DemonicPossession: His main method of attack is to haunt inanimate statues and use them as proxy bodies to attack Mega Man. When both statues are destroyed, he merely flies around in an apparent attempt to haunt Mega Man himself. |
| 670 | * EvilLaugh: He uses Black Knight's laugh from ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' prior to taking on a new form. |
| 671 | * FighterMageThief: His forms each take on attributes associated with the three classes; the Knight is slow but durable, the mage uses a variety of spells, and his true form is incredibly fast but frail. |
| 672 | * FragileSpeedster: His true form, faced after both statues are destroyed, darts around his arena at high speeds. He also ends up being so weak that an uncharged Mega Buster shot cuts through 1/4 of his healthbar. |
| 673 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The Hornet Chaser, a small robot bee, is enough to OneHitKill his final form. Thanks to the Alter Weapons sharing damage values from the main weapons, he ends up suffering the same amount of damage from the weapon based on him, the Haunt Pumpkin. |
| 674 | |
| 675 | !!Spiked-Wall Man |
| 676 | A Robot Master in the shape of a giant spike-covered room, from the Flash animation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcHR3HizRTA Mega Man - Dr. Wily Fails at Life]]. He serves as the main boss of The Stage Nobody Asked For, the second-highest-ranked stage in the game. |
| 677 | ---- |
| 678 | * AdaptationalWimp: The original Spiked-Wall Man was made of instant-death spikes, and could kill Mega Man without giving him the chance to do anything. This Spiked-Wall Man has no instant-kill attacks aside from crushing Mega Man between solid spikes, and can actually be defeated. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't a force to be reckoned with. |
| 679 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His spikes have different properties based on their color. White spikes pass through Mega Man, blue spikes are solid, and red spikes damage him. |
| 680 | * GeniusLoci: A room filled with spike dispensers, and also sentient if the "Man" in his name is anything to go by. |
| 681 | * SequentialBoss: He changes his attack pattern for each third of his health depleted. |
| 682 | |
| 683 | !!Alter Man |
| 684 | A Robot Master resembling a one-eyed copy of Mega Man. He can be fought for a Noble Nickel at the end of the first-place level Identity Crisis. |
| 685 | ---- |
| 686 | * DashAttack: How he uses Slash Claw. |
| 687 | * EvilKnockoff: Essentially a Sniper Joe mixed with Mega Man. |
| 688 | * OptionalBoss: He's not required to be fought, but guards a Noble Nickel. |
| 689 | * PowerCopying: Can use Special Weapons like Mega Man. During the battle, he uses the four special weapons not used in the level itself. |
| 690 | * RecurringBoss: Is fought a second time in the [[spoiler:Tier X]] level Deep Thoughts. |
| 691 | * WallJump: Briefly clings to the wall when he uses Triple Blade. |
| 692 | [[/folder]] |
| 693 | |
| 694 | [[folder:''Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero'']] |
| 695 | !!Dangerous Duck |
| 696 | |
| 697 | !!Giant Spear Man |
| 698 | A boss in ''VideoGame/WarioLandII'' who just doesn't give up. Shows up in the level Defeat The Giant Spear Man! and serves as the main boss. |
| 699 | ---- |
| 700 | * AdaptationalBadass: Unlike in his source game, he doesn't flinch when attacked and has more attacks than just walking back and forth. |
| 701 | * AntagonistTitle: The level is named after him. |
| 702 | * FlunkyBoss: His final form is accompanied by an owl who drops enemies in. |
| 703 | * KingMook: Like in his source material, he's a giant Pirate Goom. |
| 704 | * RecurringBoss: Zero fights against the Giant Spear Man thrice in his level, getting more dangerous with every defeat. He's also a frequent element of [[BossRush The Ultimate Choice]]'s earlier variants. |
| 705 | * WarmUpBoss: He's the first proper boss Zero fights and also very easy. |
| 706 | |
| 707 | !!Phiranabiran |
| 708 | |
| 709 | !!Thwomp Man |
| 710 | * KingMook: He's a boss Thwomp with Concrete Man's body. |
| 711 | |
| 712 | !!Gomeramos King |
| 713 | |
| 714 | !!Dethgerbis |
| 715 | |
| 716 | !!Doc Robot Overloaded |
| 717 | A ultimate version of Doc Robot that Wily was working on but had to abandon. He served as the boss of Abandoned Lab. |
| 718 | ---- |
| 719 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Much like a typical Doc Robot, his abilities are based on that of other Robot Masters, specifically those of the Devkit Robot Masters from [=MaGMML2=]. |
| 720 | * ClimaxBoss: Chapter 1's, as he's fought in an abandoned Wily lair near the end and is easily the toughest boss in the chapter. |
| 721 | * DidntNeedThoseAnyway: He loses [[AnArmAndALeg his arms]] with his first life bar, then [[LosingYourHead his head]] with his second life bar. |
| 722 | * HoldTheLine: His third phase is him jumping erratically around the room like Quick Man. He's immune to damage, but his HP will steadily drain until he self-destructs. |
| 723 | * SequentialBoss: Has three distinct phases to his boss battle. |
| 724 | |
| 725 | !!Boomer Kuwanger |
| 726 | A holographic variant of Boomer Kuwanger. It serves as a miniboss in Vertical Hunger. |
| 727 | ---- |
| 728 | * BattleBoomerang: Like the real Boomer Kuwanger, it can throw the horns on its head like a boomerang to attack. |
| 729 | * CallForward: It's a hologram of a character from VideoGame/MegaManX. |
| 730 | |
| 731 | !!Giga Kuwangata |
| 732 | A merger of many holographic Boomer Kuwangers. It serves as the boss of Vertical Hunger, and the FinalBoss of chapter 1 as a whole. |
| 733 | ---- |
| 734 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's weak to the Psycho chip (though the player doesn't have access to it in Chapter 1), and as such is ''very'' susceptible to having its cutters fired back at it with the Z-Saber's AttackReflector. |
| 735 | * HumongousMecha: It towers over Zero and most other bosses in the game. |
| 736 | |
| 737 | !!Elemental Aces |
| 738 | |
| 739 | !!Fighting Fefnir |
| 740 | * CallForward: He's from VideoGame/MegaManZero. |
| 741 | |
| 742 | !!Fire Boy GH |
| 743 | * KingMook: He's a boss Fire Boy. |
| 744 | |
| 745 | !!Blade Man DOS |
| 746 | A Robot Master from the DOS games. He serves as the boss of Dispute Over Sawblades. |
| 747 | ---- |
| 748 | * IShallTauntYou: If Zero is killed, Blade Man will laugh at his death. |

| 758 | !!Wafer Wagon |
| 759 | Neapolitan Man's personal ice cream truck, which serves as the boss of Metropolitan Neapolitan. |
| 760 | ---- |
| 761 | * BarrierChangeBoss: Each phase is weak to a different elemental chip. |
| 762 | * SequentialBoss: The truck has three phases to it, appropriately given vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate-colored life bars. |
| 763 | |
| 764 | !!Force Guard |
| 765 | |
| 766 | !!Advertising/{{Pepsiman}} |
| 767 | The mascot of Pepsi, and a sworn enemy of Coca-Cola. He appears as a boss in Pepsi Zero and Null and Void. |
| 768 | ---- |
| 769 | * AscendedExtra: Went from the bait of a BaitAndSwitchBoss in ''[=MaGMML2=]'' to a proper boss in this game. |
| 770 | * FightingClown: His run cycle really emphasizes this aspect of Pepsi Man. |
| 771 | * WrongAssumption: He fights Zero because he thinks that Zero is working for Coca-Cola. Interestingly, he’ll also comment on the costume he’s wearing. |
| 772 | |
| 773 | !!Volt Man the Real |
| 774 | The original model of Volt Man. He serves as the boss of Volt Man Factory. |
| 775 | ---- |
| 776 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He uses his sprites from [[VideoGame/MegaManDOS the original DOS game]], which makes him stick out like a sore thumb. |

| 788 | !!Recluse Woman |
| 789 | A robot master modeled after the brown recluse spider, who manages a server farm. She is the boss of String Theory. |
| 790 | ---- |
| 791 | * {{Pun}}: She's themed after spiders because her servers connect to the ''web''. |
| 792 | * SquashedFlat: When she starts climbing up the walls of the belltower, it's possible to cut down the bell's clapper and have it land on her for a OneHitKill. |
| 793 | |

| 796 | ---- |
| 797 | * FlunkyBoss: In addition to firing shots at Zero, it spawns Internet Pursuers, smaller versions of itself, to chase him down. |
| 798 | * OptionalBoss: Nobody's forcing you to fight it, but it guards a CD in its level. |
| 799 | * TakeThat: Its Z-Phone conversation with Yamato Man and CD entry are both drawn-out jabs at how bad of a browser Internet Explorer is. |
| 800 | * UniqueEnemy: While the Internet Destroyer itself isn't an example due to being a miniboss, the Internet Pursuers it spawns are only seen in its fight. |
| 801 | |
| 802 | !!Sakuya Izayoi |
| 803 | A time-manipulating, knife-throwing ninja maid (who is also an {{Expy}} of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO]]) from the Franchise/TouhouProject series. She appears as the boss of Temporal Pillar. |
| 804 | ---- |
| 805 | * FlechetteStorm: As per in her home canon, this is how Sakuya attacks- throwing lots of knives and making use of it in conjunction her TimeMaster abilities. |
| 806 | * NinjaMaid: Sakuya is this to a T. |
| 807 | * TimeMaster: Sakuya's abilities, as per Touhou canon. She doesn't just [[TimeStandsStill stop time]] in the fight, but also uses a mechanic from ''VideoGame/TouhouLunaNights'', occasionally throwing green knives that ONLY move when time is stopped. |

| 810 | |
| 811 | !!CWU-41B |
| 812 | A [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 suspiciously familiar]] water filtration unit armed with various weapons and tactics, and the boss of Wicked Waterworks. |
| 813 | ---- |
| 814 | * DamageSpongeBoss: The CWU-41B's bubble has 28 HP on its own, so the boss has effectively seven full health bars' worth of damage capacity. Fortunately, its bubble has no MercyInvincibility. |
| 815 | * NoOSHACompliance: Discussed and averted in Yamato Man's phone conversation. Apparently in the ''[=MaGMML=]'' universe, OSHA requires all water filtration robots must have 5% of their budget allocated to weapons systems. |
| 816 | * SequentialBoss: Every time its bubble gets popped, the CWU-41B changes shot and movement patterns. |

| 842 | * KingMook: To the Robo-Rabbits. |
| 843 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Trying to call Yamato Man during your fight with Big Chungus will cause him to say, “I’m hanging up” and not offer any tips. Granted, Big Chungus isn’t that hard to fight... |

| 953 | |

| 955 | ---- |
| 956 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Its appearance and attacks are a fusion of the contest's top four entries. |
| 957 | * ArtEvolution: ''Remastered'' plays up the "Glass" part of its name more, making it transparent save for the outline and bow. |
| 958 | * GravityScrew: Has its own gravitational pull. |
| 959 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Two of its attacks involve this, with one being an egg that explodes on contact, and the other being a mechanical Spiny egg that explodes into eight smaller projectiles. |

| 962 | |
| 963 | Air Man piloting a flying saucer, serving as the boss of Everything's Blowing Up, the fifth Wily Stage. Returns in the ''Make a Good Mega Man Level 2'' entry Boil Man as the Air Capsule II. |
| 964 | ---- |
| 965 | * ArtEvolution: The Air Capsule in the original [=MaGMML=] was little more than Air Man piloting one of Wily's flying saucer mechs, but it gets some extra jets and a cloud-themed top in ''Remastered''. The Air Capsule II, meanwhile, uses a whole new sprite for the capsule, and even new sprites for Air Man himself. |
| 966 | * BlowYouAway: Air Man makes use of several tornado attacks even when in the capsule. |
| 967 | * BrickJoke: In the hub of the first game, Air Man says he isn't going to make an "I Can't Defeat Air Man" joke. He starts the Air Capsule battle by saying he lied, with an 8-bit rendition of the song playing during the battle. |
| 968 | -->'''Air Man:''' I LIED |
| 969 | * DeadlyRotaryFan: Can use a variant of Gyro Man's Gyro Attack in the first game. |
| 970 | * LegacyBossBattle: The Air Capsule II. |
| 971 | * {{Leitmotif}}: As stated above, a NES rendition of "I Can't Defeat Air Man" is the Air Capsule's theme. |
| 972 | * PoseOfSupplication: Does this when the Air Capsule II is destroyed, not unlike Dr. Wily. |
| 973 | * RecurringBoss: Fought once as a fortress boss in the first game, then twice in the second game, first as a secret boss, then as one of the bosses in the [[spoiler:Tier X]] stage Deep Thoughts. |

| 988 | ---- |
| 989 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The glass full of capsules on its back is its weak point. |
| 990 | * BullfightBoss: After deploying an enemy to harass you, it will charge or hop across the screen before ramming into the opposite wall, temporarily stunning it and exposing it's capsule tank. |

| 1000 | ---- |
| 1001 | * BossWarningSiren: Heralds its appearance. |
| 1002 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Is destroyed by its own laser attack. |
| 1003 | * KaizoTrap: Just because its health bar has been depleted after taking a hit from a laser doesn't mean the battle is quite over; Mega Man must continue dodging lasers until Vanguard explodes. |
| 1004 | * SequentialBoss: After its health bar is depleted, it summons two sets of spikes from off-screen and gets a second health bar. |
| 1005 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Its second phase provides a taste of what's to come in the Wily stages. This is supplemented by its boss music; it uses the normal boss theme for its first phase, only to switch to the fortress boss theme for its second phase. |
| 1006 | * WaveMotionGun: Makes use of several giant lasers after its second health bar is depleted...one of which flies straight into it, emptying its third health bar in under a second. |

| 1036 | A flying robot with the power to use Special Weapons. It serves as the boss of Wily Stage 4, Inner Sanctum. |
| 1037 | ---- |
| 1038 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: |
| 1039 | ** Mega Man has infinite weapon energy while fighting Autobounce, preventing him from running out and making the battle {{Unwinnable}}. |
| 1040 | ** Because of the nature of this battle (as well as the battle against [[spoiler:the Wily Machine SWORD]]), clearing the Masochism challenge only requires clearing the True Arena without spending weapon energy instead of without using Special Weapons at all ([[ExactWords since infinite weapon energy is given to the player at points when either battle forces use of a Special Weapon, you technically don't spend any weapon energy when fighting them]]). |
| 1041 | * BarrierChangeBoss: It can only be damaged by whatever weapon it's currently copying. |
| 1042 | * PowerCopying: Can use powers based on each of Mega Man's Special Weapons (with Flash Stopper, the Rush utilities, and Wire Adaptor being the exceptions). |

| 1046 | The transforming machine from ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes'', and the boss of Wily Stage 5, the Unobtainium Mine. |
| 1047 | ---- |
| 1048 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Subverted. While Seven Force absorbs power from copies of seven devkit bosses, its forms aren't actually based on them. |
| 1049 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: If Mega Man dies during a phase after Barbarian Force, he will have the option to skip to whatever phase he was on when he died. Winning the fight without doing this rewards Mega Man with a Noble Nickel. |
| 1050 | * AwesomeButImpractical: ''Zero'''s CD entry on the boss shows its weakness is its high energy requirements, a weakness Dr. Wily finds out the hard way when his robots keep getting drained by it. |
| 1051 | * BossArenaRecovery: Eddie will toss Mega Man a large health pill inbetween phases of the Seven Force fight. |
| 1052 | * BossSubtitles: Each phase of the fight is accompanied by the name of the form being fought. |
| 1053 | * {{Expy}}: Several of its forms are ones to forms of the original Seven Force. Barbarian Force is based on Soldier Force, Solar Force is based on Urchin Force, Falcon Force is based on Eagle Force, and Lobster Force is based on Crab Force. |
| 1054 | * HighAltitudeBattle: Falcon Force is fought in mid-air, with Mega Man riding a flying platform. |
| 1055 | * SelfImposedChallenge: Beating all seven forms of Seven Force in one go nets you a Noble Nickel. Doing this buster-only nets you [[spoiler:a costume based off [=ACESpark=]'s avatar, Davwin]]. |
| 1056 | * SequentialBoss: True to its name and origins, it has seven different forms. |
| 1057 | |
| 1058 | !!Holo Dragon |
| 1059 | |
| 1060 | A holographic copy of the Mecha Dragon, and the first boss fought in Wily Stage 6, the Reality Core. |
| 1061 | ---- |
| 1062 | * CrosshairAware: One of its attacks involves aiming a crosshair at Mega Man, then spitting a barrage of fireballs where the crosshair lands. |
| 1063 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Its presence has little to no foreshadowing, and its only real purpose is to segue from the opening segments of the Reality Core into the primary "maze" section of the stage. |
| 1064 | |
| 1065 | !!The Chimerabots |
| 1066 | |
| 1067 | Five robots fused from two Robot Masters each. They serve as bosses in Wily Stage 6, the Reality Core. |
| 1068 | ---- |
| 1069 | * AbnormalAmmo: Chimerabot 3 uses Quarantine Woman's attack pattern, but replaces her toxic blobs with Neapolitan Man's ice cream balls. |
| 1070 | * ActionBomb: Chimerabot 2 incorporates Combust Man's death explosion as an attack, except the energy balls are flaming, deal damage, and the attack doesn't actually cause the Chimerabot to die. |
| 1071 | * AmbiguousGender: Chimerabot 3, being a fusion between a female Robot Master (Quarantine Woman) and a male Robot Master (Neapolitan Man). |
| 1072 | * EnergyWeapon: Chimerabot 4 inherits these from Force Man. |
| 1073 | * {{Fireballs}}: Chimerabot 2 spits these while using his chomp attack. |
| 1074 | * FusionDance: Each Chimerabot is a fusion of two Robot Masters from the contest entries. |
| 1075 | * MoreDakka: Chimerabot 5 can fire a barrage of bullets directly at Mega Man. |
| 1076 | * PaletteSwap: With the exception of Chimerabot 4, who sports Match Man's body and Force Man's helmet, each Chimerabot has the color scheme of one robot combined with the sprites of another. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Chimerabot 5, who mostly has Cyber Man's shape with Sheriff Man's color scheme, but also has more subtle design elements borrowed from Sheriff Man (such as his hat and arm cannon). |
| 1077 | * PlayingWithFire: Chimerabot 2 inherits this ability from Combust Man (and puts it to much greater use), while Chimerabot 4 inherits it from Match Man. |
| 1078 | * StickySituation: Chimerabot 1 inherits Bond Man's glue attacks, which it encases in Joe Man's grenades and mines. |
| 1079 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Chimerabot 1 uses bombs that leave behind puddles of glue, and mines that explode into glue blobs. |

| 1095 | * {{Cumulonemesis}}: A ''mechanical'' cloud enemy, but a cloud enemy nonetheless. |
| 1096 | * NonIndicativeName: Its attack pattern doesn't match the recurring Devil bosses of the ''Mega Man'' series. If anything, it looks and acts more like [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Kracko]]. |
| 1097 | * ShockAndAwe: Its main attack is a lightning bolt that explodes into a cluster of smaller sparks when it hits the ground. |
| 1098 | * WeaponizedOffspring: Will periodically create smaller cloud robots that slowly home in on Mega Man. |

| 1132 | * {{Foil}}: To Zero from the first game. Both are fights against crudely drawn versions of Mega Man characters in a space bound platform, using music from the newest ''Shovel Knight'' expansion at the time of release. This one puts up more of a fight, however. |
| 1133 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: One of his attacks is to throw Doctor Dad. |
| 1134 | * {{Irony}}: Calls Mega Man a fake and ripping him off, but ''he's'' the rip-off. |
| 1135 | * {{Jerkass}}: Doesn't take orders from Wily, but accuses Mega Man of ripping him off and attacks him anyways. |
| 1136 | * LethalJokeCharacter: He may look like a crude ripoff, but he's still a tough fight. |
| 1137 | |

| 1157 | * MesACrowd: Can divide itself into two. |
| 1158 | * PurpleIsPowerful: It's purple. [[spoiler:The same color as Evil Energy, of course]]. |
| 1159 | * RealityWarper: Its CD entry states that it's extremely potent at this, being able to open [[VideoGame/SkullmanInScoobyDoc4TheDestroyerFeaturingAtsushiOnita Wargates]] with ease, which it does to summon help when it's low on health. |
| 1160 | * ShoutOut: All of its voice sound effects are taken from [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Fawful]]. |

| 1163 | !!Trio |
| 1164 | The Evil Energy-infused robot Duo fights in the intro to ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''. He serves as the final part of the final battle. |

| 1166 | * BackFromTheDead: Duo killed him in the intro of ''Mega Man 8'', but he reconstituted himself in ''Episode Zero'' using the corrupted Energy Elements. |
| 1167 | * CompositeCharacter: Combines aspects of his ''Mega Man 8'' and [[ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics Archie Comics series]] selves. |
| 1168 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Trio even comments on this in his dialogue, stating that [=SRARA=] only resurrected him by pure accident. |
| 1169 | * MadeOfEvil: He's capable of reconstituting himself using just Energy Elements tainted with Evil Energy, which he implies has also become an extension of his soul, suggesting he's this. |
| 1170 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: He borrows his name of "Trio" from the Archie comic. |
| 1171 | * OutsideContextProblem: [=SRARA=] wasn't even trying to resurrect him, but them screwing with the Energy Elements brought him back anyway. |
| 1172 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Wants to [[ExaggeratedTrope rule the universe]] using the energy of Tier X. |
| 1173 | * UnexpectedShmupLevel: His fight disables Zero's normal gravity. |

| 1204 | ---- |
| 1205 | * {{Expy}}: Of Wile E. Coyote. |

| 1229 | * HumongousMecha: A giant Zero-shaped robot. |
| 1230 | * SequentialBoss: Absolute Zero has ''four'' phases to its fight. [[spoiler:The last two, however, are jokes. The True Arena replaces the final phase with different form dubbed Zero Heart, but despite its flashy BulletHell attacks, it does no damage whatsoever to Mega Man.]] |
| 1231 | * TrueFinalBoss: Guards the game's last collectible Energy Element and can only be challenged after whomping Wily. |

| 1254 | * ZeroEffortBoss: '''[[AvertedTrope Averted]]'''. Unlike the other fights against Zero, Zero Soul is as hard as a TrueFinalBoss should be. |

| 1286 | * MorphWeapon: Wields a keyblade, and can pull the same tricks the Lingering Will does, such as an ax, a ship, and a bazooka. |
