4	''Rockmen R: Dr. Wily's Counterattack'' (ロックメン R: Dr.ワイリーの逆襲) is a Japanese [[DoujinSoft doujin game]] for Windows PC done in 16-bit graphics and released by Capricorn on January of 2009. It is a fangame based on ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man\|Classic}}'' (a.k.a. ''Rockman'' in Japan) that stars Rock's sister, Roll, and features a unique cast of Robot Masters as well as a new Robot Master named Piano.

6	The developers unfortunately met with a cease-and-desist by Creator/{{Capcom}}, thus making it virtually impossible to buy the game anywhere, but eventually the game managed to get enough coverage and [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes spread]] across the internet.

8	Capricorn later went on to make another ''Mega Man''-styled game on May of 2013 called ''Touhou Rock Maiden'', a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fangame staring [[{{Miko}} Reimu Hakurei]]. Despite having dealt with the cease-and-desist by Capcom and the original game being taken down, Capcricorn went on to develop a sequel, ''Rockmen R2: Dr. Wily's Return'' (ROCKMEN R2 Dr.ワ○リーの再起!!), which was released in late 2018 during Winter Comiket 95 and digitally via the [[https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ241785.html Japanese]] Platform/{{DLsite}} on January 5, 2019 and [=DLsite=]'s [[https://www.dlsite.com/eng/work/=/product_id/RE241785.html English]] version on July 19, 2020.

10	-----
11	!!Rockmen R features examples of:
12	%%* ActionGirl: Roll.
13	%%** DarkActionGirl: Piano.
14	* ArmCannon: One of the few pieces of ''Rockman'' media to depict Roll with a functional arm cannon, alongside the 2008 mobile port of the original ''[[Videogame/MegaMan1 Mega Man]]''.
15	* ArtEvolution: The sequel features vastly improved visuals over its predecessor and a softer artstyle.
16	* AscendedExtra: Roll as the main character.
17	* BigFancyCastle: Waltz Man's stage.
18	* BeamSpam: Laser Man performs this often enough.
19	* BottomlessPit: A number of them through out the game, including Rapid Man stage, Weasel Man's stage, and Wily's Castle Stage 3.
20	* CreepyDoll: Puppet Man and his Roll-dolls, not to mention his teddy bear bombs.
21	* DistressedDude: Rock, he was beaten by Piano and taken captive.
22	* ElegantGothicLolita: Roll's color scheme when using Death Waltz evokes this.
23	* EternalEngine: Energy Man's level qualifies for this.
24	* {{Expy}}: Piano is this to Roll just as Bass is to Rock.
25	* FanSequel: To ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' originally.
26	* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Puppet Man's stage is a little more difficult then he actually is to beat. Rapid Man has the same problem, his stage is challenging but his actual fight is fairly simple.
27	* KaleidoscopeHair[=/=]PowerDyesYourHair: Roll's hair color changes depending on which weapon she uses:
28	** Sonic Boomerang: Turquoise hair
29	** Death Waltz: Light blonde
30	** Flare Shot: Hot pink hair
31	** Bullet Strike: Orange hair
32	** Puppet Bomb: Purple hair
33	** Thunder Wheel: Indigo hair
34	** Laser Wave: Cyan hair
35	** Immortal Stone: Gray hair
36	* KillHimAlready: Shockingly averted at the end, as Roll decides to do this to Dr. Wily. Until he reminds her of the [[ThreeLawsCompliant First Law]]. [[spoiler:However, it just turns out to be a robotic copy of him.]]
37	* MirrorBoss: [[spoiler:Mega Man.]]
38	* MirrorMatch: Your first time fighting Piano in the intro stage.
39	* MissingSecret: In the weapons menu, there's an empty space between Immortal Stone and Rush Coil.
40	* MusicalAssassin: Waltz Man along with his sonic-based Death Waltz.
41	* NintendoHard: Its a difficult game if your ill-prepared for it.
42	* PlayingWithFire: Flare Man takes the cake on this one.
43	* PasswordSave: This game uses a password save system like in the classic ''Mega Man'' games.
44	* RecurringBoss: Piano's role in ''Rockmen R'' is similar to that of Bass for Mega Man.
45	* ShiftingSandLand: Averted to a point with Rapid Man's level, its more like Cliff-Oasis-Gully type area. Justified as his level takes place in Australia's outback.
46	* SpaceLevel: Laser Man's level looks like this.
47	* SpikesOfDoom: Shockingly very few and far in between but still there.
48	* WarmUpBoss: Piano in the intro stage.
49	* {{Youkai}}: Weasel Man is based on the kamaitachi, a weasel youkai with sickle-like nails that rides dust devils.
