3''Mega Man 72'' is an NES-style PC fan game created by [[http://mega72.supersanctuary.net/story.html 72dpiarmy]] (of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWar'' fame), which features the typical ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' setup of eight robot masters and 8-bit style sprites.

5The project was started in 2009 by the ''Mega Man 72 Team'' aka ''72dpiarmy'' and has since been in [[DevelopmentHell the works]]. Updates are posted to their forum on [[http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=5670.0 Rockman Perfect Memories]] on occasion.

9!!This game provides examples of:
10* AbandonedHospital: Inject Man seems to occupy one. A {{r|idiculouslyHumanRobots}}obot-hospital, no less!
11* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Ooze Man's level is a water treatment plant.
12* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Distort Man's level could count as this.
13* AsianFoxSpirit: Being a fox, Balance is modelled after one of these.
14* CallBack: The plot mirrors ''5'''s in nearly every respect (both involve a rival being framed by an impostor).
15* ChainsawGood: Saw Man has one on his arm, that he can use to grind on the floor. As if tossing saw projectiles weren't enough.
16* CreatorCameo: Distort Man and Plasma Man are the winning designs of a Robot Master contest, that was held for the game. Gamble Man is also one, but the final design is far different from its original concept.
17* DarkerAndEdgier: Mostly if one [[AllThereInTheManual reads the character profiles]], anyway.
18* EldritchAbomination: Distort Man, despite being a robot, has a freakishly nightmarish appearance.
19* EternalEngine: Plasma Man's level is a giant power plant.
20* {{Expy}}: Saw Man is essentially a remodelled Metal Man with a paint job. Though the fact that HK Lurch 18 is [[AuthorAppeal a big fan of the latter]] explains the similarities.
21* HornetHole: Buzz Man's stage is a giant hornet hive.
22* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Distort Man and Plasma Man. Given that their designs were chosen for the game, it's (somewhat) justified.
23* {{Oddly Named|Sequel2ElectricBoogaloo}} FanSequel [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: Justified, as the game is named after the forum its development team is from. Still [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools doesn't prevent it from sounding bizarre]], however.
24* PinballZone: Not exactly based on pinball, but Gamble Man has a casino level.
25* PlayingWithFire: Buzz Man's weapon is actually a flame thrower.
26* TheRival: Mute is this to Mega Man, Proto Man ''and'' Bass, as well as Balance for Rush and Treble.
27* {{Wackyland}}: Mirror Man's level is full of weird gimmicks like this.
