Mega Man

""Kyahahaha! The world is mine!" - Megaman 8"

"Ten-four, Supreme Space Cadet, sir!"

"Whatever turns you on, Wily."

"I hate Mega Man. He ruins everything."

"I hate to say I told you so, but... I told you so."

"Just the image of Mega Man standing [...] there's a sadness to it. Even his sprite has a certain gravity and seriousness to it [....] When I see a young child playing alone, in a park or in the middle of the street, playing by himself [...] there's something so sad about that sight, it can almost bring me to tears. And there's something similarly lonely about Mega Man [...]. In the backstory I wrote, Mega Man alone is equipped with the functionality to turn himself off. That very fact imbues him with a sadness. The other robot masters were made for some kind of specific job or work, so there's no need for them to have an "off switch" they can control. However, a robot helper like Mega Man can make his own judgements, and therefore can decide whether he's needed or not [...]. The sadness of being a robot is having this inorganic existence."

"Wily: "What do you mean he escaped?" Proto Man: "As in: Got away, vamoosed, departed, beat feet...” Wily:: "I know what the word means!" -At the Mega Man TV Show Episode The Day the Moon fell"

"I knew you'd risk yourself for Mr. Lincoln!"

"Give me that, you robo-twits."

""At last, the world will bow down to the genius of Doctor Wily!" -Mega Man 11"

""Wahahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, your attention. please. The name's Wily! The one and only -- the brilliant scientist, Dr. Wily! It may seem rather sudden to you, but I've decided I'd like to take over the world! (Laughs) Ahem! Anyway, to begin... Dr. Light! I'll be taking your precious robots!!" - in the beginning of Mega Man: Powered Up"

""Wha... Why you insolent fool! I will crush you with a loud, loud crunch!" - just before final boss 1 in Mega Man: Powered Up"

"Boy, what's the world coming to when you can't trust your own brother?"

"That madman! Even worse than those Joe robots... to think he'd come up with something like this..."

""You forget, Mega Man. Robots cannot harm humans..." - at the end of Mega Man 7"

"Wily: "Why do you oppose me, the one who created you?" Bass: "Because you always interfere with me! I can defeat Mega Man by myself with no problem. You should go crawl in a hole somewhere." Wily: "You know, I think I regret creating you, pompous robot." Bass: "Ha! You created me? So what? If you created a powerful robot such as myself, it must have been an accident." Wily: "Funny you say that, you're actually right. I studied Mega Man hoping to create a similar robot. Then I developed a powerful energy called "Bassnium" purely by accident. Thus, I created you Bass. Currently Bassnium is the most powerful energy on Earth. But, that's not for long. Hee hee, I've learned from my accident... ...And I've created a new type of robot which is much more powerful than you or Mega Man! It'll be some time before I complete this project, though. You better get ready!" Bass: "Ha! This girlie-looking, long-haired robot will be the strongest? Don't make me laugh!" Wily: "Don't be so over-confident. This robot's power level is far superior to yours. And this is more than just a simple robot. With this robot and my other project complete, the world will be mine! No one will stop me! Hee hee hee hee!" Bass: "Yikes! This guy is as crazy as I thought." - at the end of Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (when Bass wins the final stage alone)"

"Don't strain your brain, Wily. He'll come back. He always does."

"Figure out how your enemies' weapons can help you. Then go after the Robot Masters in the right order to get the weapons you need for the next battle."

"Rush has been sent to obedience school, so he disappears when you don’t need him anymore."

"Dr. Light: Oh no! Right after we received the last element... Wiley ran off with Gamma!"

"RC- Rush turns into a springboard for high jumps. Rm – Rush’s submarine keeps you alive underwater. RJ – in Rush’s jet, the sky’s the limit."

"In the year 20XX AD. A vicious army of robots is bent on destroying the world!! And behind this destruction is... ProtoMan!?"

"A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIEND cont. Waiting for you in certain stages if Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase. When you see him, just walk right up and Flip-Top will toss you a power-up item. Once his compartment is empty, Flip-Top will automatically transport back to Dr. Light's lab for a refill."

"RUSH TO THE RESCUE! Rush can change into mighty machines that get you through tough spots."

"Dr. Wily: Until now I have managed to frame ProtoMan for my crimes, but now the real ProtoMan has appeared and spoiled my plan!! Dr. Light is a captive in my lab. Come if you dare!! Ha, ha, ha."

"BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER! “Cossack to Mega Man! Cossack to Mega Man! Come in, Mega Man!” “Protoman has gone wild! City Hall and the spaceport have been totally destroyed and the city's power grid is in shambles. I've never seen destruction on this scale before.” “I know you're worried about Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the city from the grip of Protoman's robots. I can modify your reactor to give the Mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light and I had been working on a special project, but it's not finished yet. Maybe if I can get it working, it might give you an edge.” Remember to watch your back mega Man. Protoman seems to have become more ruthless than we thought possible. Good Luck.” “Cossack out!”"

"ATTACK OF THE CYBERNETIC SOLDIERS! The dark shadows of Protoman's eight robots now cover the city. Each of these cybernetic soldiers have surrounded themselves with wave after wave of mindless metal munchkins who are just waiting to pound Mega Man! It's up to you to run, jump and climb past death-dealing robots and metallic maniacs to get into the robot master's inner sanctum. Once you arrive, you'll dig in and stand toe-to-toe against his awesome attacks! Pummel him with the power of your Mega Buster to throw him on the scrap heap for good. Add his weapon to your arsenal and get ready for action as you face the enxt robotic rebel!"

"POWER UP! As you blast Protoman's cybernetic creations to smithereens, you will gain their special weapon and add it to your arsenal."

"ROBOTIC REINFORCEMENTS Mega Man isn't the only one who is worried about Dr. Light! Rush and Flip-Top are scouring the city for any clue to the location of their lost leader. But if Mega Man is in needs of a little help, Rush is ready to leap to his side. Using his special powers, Rush can transform into a two unique configurations to help Mega Man get by treacherous traps."

"Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase, will appear from time to time and give Mega Man a power-up item. Once he has dropped off his package, he will automatically transport himself back to Dr. Light's lab."

"As MEGA MAN defeats each enemy, he acquires their powers. HeatMan: The [H] Atomic Fire can throw three different sizes of fireballs. The longer you hold the fire button, the bigger the fireball. AirMan: The [A] Air Shooter throws small tornados WoodMan: The [W] Lead Shield creates a shield around you until you move. The leaves are then thrown in the direction the control pas is pushed. BubbleMan: The [B] Bubble Lead is a bubble that rolls on the ground in front of your and damages that it hits. QuickMan: The [O] Quick Boomerang can throw up to three boomerangs. Hold the fire button for continuous fire. FishMan: The [F] Time Stopper will freeze all enemies for a little while. Be careful. When this is used, it will continue until it is completely drained of energy. It cannot be turned off early. MetalMan: The [(M)]: Metal Blade is a gear. Up to three may be thrown in any direction the control pas is pushed. This is probably the best general purpose weapon and the energy lasts a long time. CrashMan: The [C] Crash Bomber can be thrown at walls and will detonate after a short delay. It may be used to get through certain walls. These weapons work with varying degrees of effectiveness on different opponents. It is best to experiment, especially when fighting the final robot of each level."

"In the year of 200X, a super robot named Megaman was created. Dr. Light created Megaman to stop the evil desires of Dr. Wily. However, after his defeat, Dr. Wily created eight of his own robots to counter Megaman."

"A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS Mega Man is more than a match for Dr. Cossack's metal munching maniacs. But even a cybernetic super-hero needs a little help now and then. So, Dr. Light has sent Mega Man a couple of robotic reinforcements – just in case."

"In every area, Mega Man must battle his way through an endless array of anarchistic androids. As he blasts these robotic rebels into oblivion, Mega Man may find a variety of special items to aid him in his journey."

"Keep going! Destroy all the robot fiends in this level, and you’ll face the diabolical Robot Master. His Energy Meter appears on the right of yours, so you can keep an eye on who’s winning! If you lose all your chances, the game ends. But if you demolish the Robot Master, you gain his weapons and capture the energy crystals from his world. Then you can take on the next maniac."

"MEGA POWER! At Mega Man's command is a host of high-tech weapons including the miraculous Mega Buster!"

"WARNING! Because of the size of the Power Mega Man Armor, Mega Man cannot use other weapon systems and cannot slide while wearing it."

"MORE POWER TO YOU! Unable to stand against the awesome power of Mr. X's army, Mega Man and Dr. Light realized they needed something new to combat this threat. Laboring long and hard, Dr. Light was able to design two new transformations circuits for use with Rush, Mega Man's canine companion. Once Mega Man finds these powers adaptors, we will be able to call Rush to his side and together they will become more powerful than ever!"

"THE BATTLE BEGINS! Wave after wave of mindless metal machines march toward you. Summon the full power of the Mega Buster and melt them down to size. Pick up energy pellets and weapon capsules to keep up your strength. Keep a eye on your energy meter in the top left corner of the screen. Because once your energy is gone, so is your life! Run, jump and climb through the mazes of twisted corridors to the lair of the robot master. Once you arrive, it's going to be a cybernetic slugfest and only one of you will survive. Keep on pounding the robot master with your weapons until his energy is depleted. Once he's been deactivated, grab his weapon and add it to your arsenal. Now you're ready to take on another of Dr. Cossack's crazy creations."

"Battle your way through a mad onslaught of crazed machinery. The Robot Masters pour on more insane weapons than you can believe! They clank, buzz, crawl, shoot, and blast from every direction. Explore every room and corridor. Climb every ladder Dodge, slide, leap, and fire to blast your attackers or at least get away! You start the round with 3 chances to make it through. Watch your Energy Meter at the top left corner of the screen. Your energy drains away as your take the crushing blows your foes dish out. Good thing you’ve got a steel noggin!"

"WARNING! The turbo thrusters can only keep Mega Man in the air for short time before they overheat and drop Mga Man back down the ground."

"A LITTLE CYBERNETIC SUPPORT Flip-Top, Dr. Light's cybernetic suitcase, will teleport down with a power-up items from time to time, but for this mission Mega Man needs a little more help. So, Dr. Light has been hard at work to create a remote-controlled attack bird named BEAT. But BEAT's four new circuit plates are missing! If Mega Man is able to find and collect the B, E, A, and T circuit plates, he'll automatically teleport them back to Dr. Light for final assembly."

"Soaring down from the clouds, BEAT will automatically attack any enemy on screen and shred them to tin foil with his razor-sharp talons."

"SPECIAL ITEMS As Mega Man blasts through wave after wave of cybernetic soldiers, he'll find a variety of powerful items that will increase his chance of survival in the battles that lie ahead."

"USING YOUR PASSWORD If you reduce the sinister cyborgs into scrap metal, Mega Man may be rewarded with a secret password."

"In the year 20XXAD. The world cheered Megaman when at long last he captured and imprisoned Dr. Wily. But... Dr. Wily always knew his schemes might end in failure and had planned for just such an occasion. Four robots had been hidden away and after six months without being contacted by Dr. Willy, they activate and begin searching for their master..."

"Megaman: Can't this thing go any faster, Auto?? The city is under attack!"

"Bass: You are as good as they say, Megaman."

"Megaman: Dr. Light, what do you think of Bass?"

"In addition to the weapons, there are three special transportation items. These are: Item: acquired when HeatMan is defeated. This is a levitation platform. Up to three may be launched at a time. Item: Acquired when AirMan is defeated. This is a jet sled. Use it to fly over difficult areas. Item: Acquired when FlashMan is defeated. This is an elevator and may only be used against a wall. This item is capable of traveling higher than the Levitation Platform."
