Background
Bass, known as Forte in Japan, is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to imitate Mega Man's design, along with Treble, an imitation of Rush's design. He was created based on a research conducted on Mega Man with the intention of surpassing his power sometime during or before the events of Mega Man 6, and made his debut in Mega Man 7. Bass is the prominent anti-hero of the original Mega Man series, and his goal is to become the most powerful robot in existence. Although Bass and Mega Man are rivals, at times they team up to take down mutual enemies of the two. Despite being created by Dr. Wily, Bass frequently rebels against his creator, usually for his own purposes. Bass was later succeeded by Zero, an advanced creation from Dr. Wily.

|
Bass is first encountered at the end of the Opening Stage and is fought as a mini-boss. According to himself, he and Treble were trying to stop Dr. Wily, and he picked that fight with Mega Man to see if he lived up to his reputation. If Mega Man defeats him, or fights him to a draw, then he'll tell Mega Man that he's as good as everyone says, and that he might not need his help. If it's the other way around, then Bass will scoff at Mega Man, telling him that he's too weak to battle Wily. Later on, Bass and Treble are seen again at Shade Man's stage, after purposely getting themselves injured in battle. Bass then starts putting himself down, saying that he feels stupid to have been beaten so easily, and that he should probably leave Wily to Mega Man. Mega Man responds by telling him that "[they're] a team", and that Dr. Light will be glad to fix him up. Bass and Treble then warp away to Dr. Light's lab to get repaired. Sometime later, after the repairs were finished, Mega Man comes back to the lab to find that it's been trashed, and that the culprit behind it was none other than Bass. Dr. Light then tells him that Bass stole all the parts for the "new enhancements" as well. Shortly afterward, Dr. Wily appears on the monitor and reveals that Bass and Treble are his creations, and that he used Bass to get closer to Mega Man, so that he could earn his trust, and then steal the Super Adapter blueprints, so that he could use that enhancement for Bass and Treble. Bass is encountered again for the third time at the first stage of Dr. Wily's castle, where he's once again fought as a mini-boss. The two of them have a battle, and Mega Man manages to defeat him. Bass then swears revenge, saying that he'll be back. He, of course, stays true to his word, as he is encountered for a fourth time at the very next Wily Castle stage. This time, he performs a fusion with Treble, and tries to destroy Mega Man with the very enhancements that he stole, which were meant for Mega Man and Rush. After a hard fight, Bass is once again defeated, and warps away. He and Treble aren't seen again until the ending, where they save Dr. Wily when Mega Man was about to kill him, with Bass stating that, "He who hesitates is lost." Bass also appears as a playable character in the hidden two-player battle mode. Mega Man: Battle & Chase
Mega Man 8
However, Bass would show up again later on, and fights against Mega Man in the third level of the Wily Tower. Although Mega Man had warned him not to do so, Bass would use the Evil Energy to power up his attacks, and assume a stronger form of his Treble Boost. Here, he has no weakness, although the Flash Bomb can hit him multiple times. Mega Man manages to defeat him once again and Bass then vows never to give up trying to defeat Mega Man, before teleporting out. A robot calling himself King attacked and took over the recently built Wily Castle, declaring he was the strongest robot and that robots were superior to humans, thus he wanted to create a nation of robots without humans. Mega Man is sent by Dr. Light to stop King, and Bass, who took offense to King's claims of being the strongest robot, embarks on yet another mission to destroy the Robot Masters (as well as King himself) before Mega Man can, so that he could prove that he's the strongest, and to get Wily's Castle back. Bass, of course, does manage to defeat them. After using all eight of the Robot Masters' powers to open the Crystal Gate to King's castle, Bass goes through it and destroys all obstacles in his way, and eventually comes across King himself. King congratulates Bass for making it that far into the castle, and then engages Bass in combat. King, wielding a shield with reflective abilities, used that to absorb Bass' blasts and send them right back at him in the form of a powerful laser beam. Because of this device, King was seemingly unstoppable. That is, until Proto Man appeared and used his powerful "Big Bang Strike" ability. Due to the fact that Proto Man used nearly all of his power on that attack, it was too much energy for King's shield to absorb, which led into it getting destroyed, as well as King getting hit and weakened by it in the process. No longer in possession of that shield, Bass' attacks actually began to do some damage, and he ended up defeating King. King then questions Bass, asking why he's fighting for "lowly beings" like the humans, and tells him that robots are more advanced than them. Bass then tells him not to forget that humans are the ones who created robots. After that, King asks Bass to finish him off, but first teleports an unconscious Proto Man out of the fortress. Bass then asks King who created him, and King answers him by telling him that Dr. Wily was his creator, which shocks Bass. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Wily appears on the monitor, scolding King for helping an enemy, and telling him to finish Bass off. King refuses, and then Dr. Wily uses a device to increase his "brainwashing" (and supposedly enhancing King's power in the process). King's armor then changes from gold to a violet coloring, and then he breaks through the wall and enters the next room. Bass follows him, only to find King fusing with the giant blue machines that he fought while he was at King's fortress. Bass engages King in combat once more, and defeats him once again. After that, King tells Bass to get out of the castle quickly before it explodes while he's in it. Bass, in a rare display of humanity, shows concern for King, asking about his safety. King told Bass that he would make it out of the castle somehow, but after Bass leaves. Bass quickly warps out of the castle, leaving King behind. During King's "last" words, before he's supposedly destroyed, he says that he and Bass could have probably been good friends. After that, the castle explodes, seemingly killing King and burying him under rubble. After his victory over King, Bass decides to go to Dr. Wily's newly built laboratory to challenge him out of anger of being deceived and betrayed. Bass once again manages to overcome all obstacles in his path, including the newly resurrected Robot Masters, and eventually came face to face with the doctor himself. Dr. Wily then thanks Bass for getting rid of King, and then told him that he was going to put a restraining bolt on him before he goes haywire like King did. The two of them engage one another in combat, and Dr. Wily is eventually defeated, and starts bowing to Bass, pleading for mercy. Bass then holds Wily at gunpoint, demanding an explanation for creating King. According to Dr. Wily, he created King to test Bass' abilities. He supposedly designed King with the intention of creating the most powerful robot in the world, and since Bass destroyed him, he has proven himself as the strongest. Bass scoffs at him, telling him that it was a "lame excuse", and then Dr. Wily changes the subject by revealing his plans for a second model of King. He told Bass that if he joins King II, then the two of them will be unstoppable. Before Bass could answer, however, Proto Man arrives and destroys the plans. Angered, Dr. Wily orders Bass to destroy Proto Man, but he refuses. Proto Man then asks Bass if he would rather destroy Mega Man with his own power. After that, he decides to give Bass a lecture, saying that he will never defeat Mega Man because he has "nothing to fight for". Bass then gets angry about it, telling Proto Man to get lost, in which he does. After that, Bass scoffs at Proto Man, saying that he doesn't need a reason to fight, and will continue fighting to destroy Mega Man. Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha
After Bass defeated the Grey Devil in Rockman Shadow's robot factory, Rockman Shadow tells Bass he will tell him who he is once he defeats his men. Bass manages to defeat all the Robot Masters and Rockman Shadow reveals to him he is another robot like Quint that Wily created when he traveled to the future. Rockman Shadow then offers Bass to join him to destroy the real Mega Man, and that way he will be truly the strongest. Bass rejects the offer because he doesn't want to be ordered around by someone who resembles Mega Man, and says he will do things his way, first of which to destroy Rockman Shadow. The two of them engage in an earnest fight and Rockman Shadow is eventually defeated. Before dying, he tells Bass that he was left behind as Quint's flop. He increased his strength, and devastated the world. As nothing was able to stop him in the future, he traveled back in time to find someone that could defeat him. He also tells Bass that seeking strength is not the way for robots to live, because even if Bass crushes his enemy, another one will always appear until he ends up dead like him. Bass admits it was a good lesson and he and Mega Man bury Rockman Shadow, before leaving Bass tells Mega Man that he will spare him for now, but tells him to not forget that he (Bass) is the strongest one alive. Bass later is shown in the game ending credits with Treble taking a nap and in the ending picture with Dr. Light's team and Rockman Shadow. Mega Man 9
Mega Man 10
Sometime during his journey through Dr. Wily's castle, Bass succumbs to the Roboenza virus and collapses to the floor. However, Treble came to his rescue by giving him one of the prototype cures that he stole from Dr. Wily, and Bass was able to recover and continue his journey through the castle. He eventually came face to face with Dr. Wily, and defeated him once again. Afterward, he mocks him for his "half-brained plans for world domination". It was then revealed that Dr. Wily caught the flu, but Bass assumed that it was Roboenza. Dr. Wily then assures him that it isn't Roboenza (due to the fact that it only affects robots, rather than humans). Seemingly, Bass just left Dr. Wily there to suffer. However, it was later revealed that Dr. Wily was taken to the hospital by unknown circumstances. |

Powers and Abilities
Standard Equipment
*Bassnium: Bassnium, known as Fortenium in Japan, is the energy that powers Bass. Tired of his constant defeats, Dr. Wily began to study Mega Man, hoping to create a similar robot. During this process, he unintentionally created a powerful energy source which he named Bassnium; he then created Bass using this energy.
- Bass Buster: Bass Buster, known as the Forte Buster in Japan, is Bass's main weapon. In Mega Man 7 and the arcade games, Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, the Bass Buster has the same capabilities as the Mega Buster. It can fire green bullets and charge shots. However, in Mega Man & Bass, the Bass Buster loses its charge ability in favor of a drastically increased rate of fire and the ability to fire in 1 of 7 directions. In Mega Man 10, the Bass Buster has the additional ability to disarm the shields of the Shield Attackers and Sniper Joes.
- Stolen Parts: In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, after Bass saves Roll in the mission "Rescue Roll!", she will give the stolen new parts to him to enhance his charge shot.
- Super Buster: The Super Buster is an upgrade for the Bass Buster that doubles its power, thereby making it quicker and easier to defeat enemies and bosses.
- Hyper Buster: The Hyper Buster is an upgrade for the Bass Buster that makes it possible to shoot through walls.
- Treble: Treble, known as Gospel in Japan, is a wolf-like support robot created by Dr. Wily to work with Bass in a similar way to Rush with Mega Man. Unlike Rush, Treble possesses considerable offensive capabilities to support Bass in battle. Bass can also fuse with Treble to gain wings and fly, as well as to improve his offensive capabilities.
- Flight Ability: Treble can fly to transport Bass like the Rush Jet. This function was only used in the opening animation of Mega Man 8.
- Super Adapter: The Super Adapter allows Treble to merge with Bass, acting like an armor that increases his strength and gives him the ability to fly and perform a flying fist attack. Unlike Mega Man's Super Adapter, Bass has the ability to fire either a regular charged shot or a rocket punch, as opposed to just the rocket punch. It was created by Dr. Wily using the parts Bass had stolen in Dr. Light's lab in Mega Man 7, which were originally planned to enhance Rush's Super Adapter. Bass used this in the second battle against Mega Man in the Wily Castle.
- Support Item: In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Treble appears to assist Bass for a limited time when he takes the Support Item dropped by Eddie. Treble shoots from his mouth when Bass attacks with a normal shot, and dashes at enemies at high speed when Bass fires a charge shot or performs a somersault kick. Treble also jumps when Bass does so, but he doesn't attack during the jump.
- Treble Boost: Treble Boost, known as Gospel Boost in Japan, is an item in Mega Man 10, Mega Man & Bass and Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha that allows Bass to turn into Super Bass. While using it Bass can fly and fire shots in three directions at the same time. It slowly comsumes Weapon Energy, making its use limited. In Mega Man & Bass and Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, Bass can buy this ability in the item shop. In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha, he can fire in one of seven directions, but it can only be used once.
- Treble Item: Treble Item is an item that Bass can buy for 20 Screws in Reggae's shop. When used, Treble appears and gives a random item to Bass, similar to Mega Man's Eddie Call.
- Treble Rescue: Treble Rescue is an item that Bass can buy for 30 Screws in Mega Man 10. It acts similar to the Beat Call, saving Bass from bottomless pits by using the Treble Boost for a few seconds.
- Communicator: In Bass' ending from the Japanese version of Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Wily contacts Bass. During the conversation, Bass orders Treble to cut the communication when he got angry with Wily, suggesting Treble is the source of the communication. As only their voices are heard, it's unknown if Treble can only reproduce the voices or is able to show images like the Rush Vision.
- Energy Aura: In several instances, Bass has been shown to posses the ability to release energy in the form of an aura that usually suspends him in the air. He can use said aura to shield himself from attacks.

Notable Techniques
*Jump: Jump is a common action that allows characters reach higher places.
- Move: Move is the most basic of the commands. It allows the player to navigate the character through the gameplay environment by walking, running, etc. Some items and moves, like Speedster and Dash, improves the mobility of the character.
- Dash: Dash (ダッシュ Dasshu) is a move that temporarily speeds up the character. While dashing, the character lowers their body, and can avoid some attacks. However, it cannot get the character as low to the ground as Sliding can.
- Air Dash: Air Dash allows the character to dash straight ahead while in mid-air. In Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, this is Bass's dash move. Unlike other appearances, this can only be performed by pressing down+jump while in the ground, like Mega Man's Sliding and Proto Man's Dash. Bass rises from the ground slightly and performs an Air Dash. Besides the speed boost, this helps him avoid ground-level attacks.
- Hi-Speed Dash: An item that increases the speed of a Dash and Air Dash of Bass' dash technique.
- Bass Buster: Bass Buster, known as the Forte Buster in Japan, is Bass's main weapon. In Mega Man 7 and the arcade games, Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, the Bass Buster has the same capabilities as the Mega Buster. It can fire green bullets and charge shots. However, in Mega Man & Bass, the Bass Buster loses its charge ability in favor of a drastically increased rate of fire and the ability to fire in 1 of 7 directions. In Mega Man 10, the Bass Buster has the additional ability to disarm the shields of the Shield Attackers and Sniper Joes.
- Stolen Parts: In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, after Bass saves Roll in the mission "Rescue Roll!", she will give the stolen new parts to him to enhance his charge shot.
- Super Buster: The Super Buster is an upgrade for the Bass Buster that doubles its power, thereby making it quicker and easier to defeat enemies and bosses.
- Hyper Buster: The Hyper Buster is an upgrade for the Bass Buster that makes it possible to shoot through walls.
*Ice Wall: Ice Wall is Cold Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. When equipped with this weapon, Mega Man or Bass creates an ice column that can be pushed to attack enemies. The Ice Wall shatters after some time, breaking faster when damaged. Creating an Ice Wall above or in the same position of an enemy will make the column hit the target several times before breaking, causing massive damage to stronger enemies. The ice column can also protect the user against some attacks from the opposite side. Pressing the FIRE Button again once the Ice Wall is erected will make the user fire weak buster shots as long as the Ice Wall is still on the screen or if the user runs out of Weapon Energy. Ice Wall is very helpful for Mega Man, as he cannot double jump like Bass, and it can be stood on and used to pass by spikes safely and reach high areas. In some areas in a few stages, using Ice Wall will even be mandatory for Mega Man in parts that would otherwise be easy to clear with Bass's double jumps. Ice Wall is also capable of floating on water, providing a makeshift platform for the user, which can be rather helpful if the player needs to traverse over waters that may have spikes or bottomless pits below. Unsurprisingly, when used underwater, Ice Wall will float up to the top of the water's surface (or a ceiling if the area is completely submerged). Once the Ice Wall floats on the water's surface or hits a ceiling, it will not budge for the player and will shatter after its preset time.
- Wave Burner: Wave Burner is Burner Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. It is a short-ranged flamethrower that can hit enemies multiple times while active. When used by Mega Man, the flames are red and more detailed; when used by Bass, the flames are green and less detailed, like Burner Man's flames. The Wave Burner can also break ice blocks, destroy explosive boxes (marked with a fire logo), and can act as a small light source in dark areas like the ones in Dynamo Man's stage. When used underwater, it is unable to create flames and harm enemies, but releases waves that can push some enemies and objects, such as the floating spiked mines in Pirate Man's stage.
- Remote Mine: Remote Mine is Pirate Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. When equipped, the user fires a remote mine that can be controlled by using the D-Pad and can be detonated by the player at any time. The weapon is capable of sticking on enemies and walls. Mega Man and Bass can use only one Remote Mine at a time, but Pirate Man can use three Remote Mines in a row.
- Spread Drill: Spread Drill is Ground Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. When equipped, the user shoots out a big drill missile, which upon pressing the FIRE Button again, will split into two smaller drills. When the player presses the FIRE button again, the two drills can then be split again into two smaller drills each for a total of four small drills. If the first drill is not split by the user, it will slowly fall down after a while, but the other drills move straight forward. Certain blocks can be destroyed with this weapon.
- Tengu Blade: Tengu Blade is Tengu Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. It is a multitasking sword weapon that can send out a projectile as well as being used as a slashing weapon. It can bounce off of walls, and can also be used as a dashing weapon (similar to the Charge Kick from Mega Man 5 or the Break Dash from Mega Man V) by sliding (with Mega Man) or dashing (Bass) with the weapon equipped. This is Magic Man's weakness, which can actually slice him in two (although Magic Man returns to one piece afterward), as well as cutting his cards.
- Magic Card: Magic Card is Magic Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. It is a card that can be shot straight forward or upward and come back to the user like a boomerang unless it hits an enemy. It can also pass through walls. As a bonus, it can snatch items dropped by enemies and that are out of reach, whether too high, too far away, too dangerous to reach for, or unreachable by other means. When Magic Man uses it, he can steal health from the player and use it to heal himself.
- Copy Vision: Copy Vision is Astro Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. When Mega Man or Bass uses it, a holographic copy of them appears forward their current position to shoot at enemies. The copy fires twenty-eight shots before disappearing. The copy will also attract the fire and attention of all enemies on screen (like the Telly Rs), including bosses (even if they are not weak to the weapon), providing a distraction. The player can also fire weak buster shots by pressing FIRE while a clone is deployed.
- Lightning Bolt: Lightning Bolt is Dynamo Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. The user will hover in the air and summon a rain of powerful lightning bolts that cover the entire battlefield. This attack will hit every enemy and object in the area. During use, the player is momentarily invincible, allowing one to avoid enemy shots and some moving obstacles (such as the spike traps in Ground Man's stage). The Lightning Bolt can also be used to stall in mid-air, similar to Astro Crush. This weapon is very effective against Cold Man and King, as they are stunned in. The weapon perhaps provides the greatest aid against King Plane, since if the player is about to fall into a pit or a flying platform is destroyed by the plane's fists, it can be used to halt the fall and land on one of the platforms.
*Atomic Fire: Atomic Fire is the Special Weapon obtained after Heat Man's defeat. It uses a compression type blaster that generates explosive energy. It is noted to have heat hotter then the sun.
- Crash Bomber: Crash Bomber, known as Clash Bomb in Japan, is Crash Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It is a "flight type injection time bomb" that is launched and gets stuck to a target with a sharp point, detonating after a short delay. Dr. Wily made Crash Man's body with a thick armor to keep the explosions from hurting him.
- Dust Crusher: Dust Crusher, also known as Dust Crasher in Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Dust Man's Special Weapon. It takes the form of a bomb encased in a ball of scrap metal, that explodes and splits into four pieces of shrapnel (diagonally) when it hits something solid.
- Freeze Cracker: Freeze Cracker is Freeze Man's Special Weapon. When equipped with this weapon, Mega Man fires a shard of ice. If it hits a wall, it splits into six smaller shots. It can also be shot diagonally upwards or downwards. The Freeze Cracker can freeze certain enemies, and even the lava in Junk Man's stage and reveal a secret passage. In Cloud Man's stage, it can be shot at the second Tel Tel to change the rain to harmless snow, and it can freeze the floating cloud platforms, causing the cloud portion to crumble away, and revealing the invisible platforms in a certain part of the stage right away without having to get close enough reveal them. In Turbo Man's stage and Wily Castle 2, it can be shot at the burners in a certain part of the stage to freeze its flames.
- Gemini Laser: Gemini Laser is Gemini Man's Special Weapon. It was based on the "reaction element" discovered by Dr. Light. The Gemini Laser shoots a blue energy beam that reacts to the opponent's thoughts, and it reflects when it hits substances that do not have thoughts, like walls.
- Gyro Attack: Gyro Attack is Gyro Man's Special Weapon, a green propeller-shaped cutter that is fired forward and can change direction, up or down, once per shot.
- Ice Slasher: Ice Slasher is Ice Man's Special Weapon. It takes the form of an arrowhead-shaped blade of ice that can freeze enemies with a temperature of 200 degrees below zero
- Junk Shield: Junk Shield is Junk Man's Special Weapon. It uses electromagnetism to summon large chunks of scrap metal, which orbit around the user for protection and can hit enemies multiple times, but disappearing as they hit objects. The junk can also be thrown off as projectiles in three random directions across the screen, each projectile discarded from the two others by 120°. This is the primary weakness for Freeze Man; if he is hit by the attack, he will be stopped in place for a moment.
- Leaf Shield: Leaf Shield is Wood Man's Special Weapon. By using electromagnetic waves, it makes four leaf-shaped units with a special coating circle around the user as a shield. It can also be thrown to damage opponents.
- Super Arm: Super Arm is Guts Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It is a special equipment that allows the user to lift and throw heavy rocks. Its power cannot be adjusted, so the user should avoid certain actions (like shaking hands) with it equipped.
- Magnet Missile: Magnet Missile is Magnet Man's Special Weapon, a magnet-shaped missile that tracks its target with a magnetic force. In most games, Magnet Man first jumps in the air, then fires three Magnet Missiles that travel horizontally until it is parallel to the target, and then travels vertically toward the opponent. When equipped by Mega Man, these Magnet Missiles function the same as that from Magnet Man, however he can only have two Magnet Missiles on the screen at a time. If a Magnet Missile hits an enemy during its horizontal track, it will just explode without vertically tracking anything.
- Napalm Bomb: Napalm Bomb is Napalm Man's Special Weapon. When Mega Man uses it, he sends out a bomb that bounces about on the ground. It explodes if it kills an enemy on contact, or after a few seconds of no activity. It will change direction if it hits a wall. It is useful against low-lying enemies like Mousuberu. No boss in Mega Man 5 is immune to this weapon. It also seems that Napalm Bomb is the weakness of many big enemies, such as Dachone. The Bridge from Mega Man IV and the second Weapons Archive of Mega Man 10 are also able to use the Napalm Bomb. The odd thing about the Napalm Bomb is that, in reality, napalm is an extremely flammable, sticky substance, which isn't explosive. Real napalm bombs function with this substance, and Napalm Bomb doesn't cause any kind of burning or fire-effect.
- Noise Crush: Noise Crush, also known as Crash Noise and Crush Noise, is Shade Man's special weapon. It fires a powerful sound wave to damage enemies. If the wave hits a wall, it will bounce off it. If it comes in contact with Proto Man, he will charge automatically, and he can then discharge a powerful wave. The charged wave is larger and will do more damage to enemies.
- Plant Barrier: Plant Barrier is Plant Man's Special Weapon. It is a barrier of condensed energy shaped like flower petals that spins around the user and protects him from some attacks.
- Rolling Cutter: Rolling Cutter is Cut Man's Special Weapon, a versatile cutter made of ceratanium that can cut anything in half. It has the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of the user in a teardrop-shaped pattern, before returning to the person that used it.
- Scorch Wheel: Scorch Wheel, known as Burning Wheel in Japan and the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Turbo Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 7 and Mega Man: The Power Battle. When equipped and used by Mega Man, he creates a wheel of fire that surrounds him before sending it forward, and it rolls on the ground like a normal wheel until it hits a wall or an enemy. If the player holds the attack button, the fire wheel will rotate around him for a while before being launched. When used in the air, the wheel will slowly fall downwards while travelling forward. Scorch Wheel can be used to scorch certain objects, especially the trees in Slash Man's stage (this is how Beat is found) and can even be used on some ice on the floors on Freeze Man's stage. Scorch Wheel can also light the candles in the dark corridor in Shade Man's stage, allowing the player to see the platforms, the spikes, and the rest of the landscape.
- Slash Claw: Slash Claw is Slash Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It allows the user to swing his arm to generate a crescent-shaped beam of energy straight forward. It is a short range weapon, but the powerful slashes are very effective against smaller enemies.
- Thunder Bolt: Thunder Bolt, known as Thunder Strike in Japan and in the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Cloud Man's special weapon. This weapon shoots a ball of electricity straight forward (though due to a program glitch, it tends to curve downward if fired while falling). It travels through walls and splits on impact with an enemy, traveling upwards and downwards. This weapon will electrocute Junk Man, preventing him from using his Junk Shield and magnetism attacks if used consecutively. Conversely, if the Thunder Bolt is used on Spring Man, it will cause him to become magnetized, and he will pull Mega Man toward him and toss him upward, causing some serious damage (8 units). It will also supercharge Turbo Man, making him temporarily invincible as he drives around his chamber, and will interrupt the elemental orb attack from the Wily Capsule. The Thunder Bolt can also be used to activate the elevating barrel machines in Junk Man's stage so the player can reach the Rush Jet item and momentarily illuminate the dark hallway in Shade Man's stage if the player does not have the Scorch Wheel yet. If the Thunder Bolt is shot on the cloud platforms on Cloud Man's stage, it will cause a thunderstorm in the platform and the electricity can hurt Mega Man.
*Bass Cyclone: Bass Cyclone is the Special Weapon that Forte obtains from Aircon Man in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. It fires a powerful wind barrier forward that can pass through multiple enemies if it is not reflected. If the barrier hits a wall, it will pause for a second before disappearing. This weapon can be used to break through certain walls.
- Flame Mixer: Flame Mixer is the special weapon Forte obtains from Konro Man in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. It sends four small flames above him. If the player holds the attack button, the four flames will rotate around Forte, making a fire shield before being launched until the button is released or all energy is drained. Forte can move freely without releasing it.
- Doppler Attack: Doppler Attack is the special weapon Forte obtains from Komuso Man in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. With this weapon, Forte changes into four miniature copies of himself while the attack button is held. While active Forte is invincible and can fly freely all over the screen, being able to pass through walls and damage enemies by touching them. This weapon can also be used to escape from hazards like spikes and pass by narrow passages that usually only Rockman can pass by sliding. Forte will die instantly if he returns to normal in a solid terrain.
- Bass Vulcan: Bass Vulcan is the Special Weapon Forte obtains from Dangan Man in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. It fires a homing missile that will track the nearest enemy. The projectile can pass through walls, and if enemies like Mets can't be hit, the missile will circle the target until it causes damage or moves off-screen.
- Time Bomb: Time Bomb is the special weapon Forte obtains from the Clock Men in Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chōsensha. It can stop time for four seconds. While active Forte can't shoot, but he can walk through stopped enemies and their attacks without suffering damage.
*Air Shooter: Air Shooter is Air Man's Special Weapon. It causes air to become tornadoes, being used to fire several small whirlwinds that spread out and rise upward, making it an effective weapon against airborne enemies. Formerly, the Air Shooter's system was used in a kite flying attempt that apparently failed.
- Atomic Fire: Atomic Fire is the Special Weapon obtained after Heat Man's defeat. It uses a compression type blaster that generates explosive energy. It is noted to have heat hotter then the sun.
- Bubble Lead: Bubble Lead is Bubble Man's Special Weapon. When equipped by Mega Man, he shoots a heavy bubble that rolls around on the ground. These bubbles have high attack power and can be used to locate traps in the ground.
- Dive Missile: Dive Missile is Dive Man's Special Weapon. It fires amphibious homing missiles that can lock onto nearby targets, chasing them down before striking. It was originally used to catch big fishes before being remodeled for combat.
- Gemini Laser: Gemini Laser is Gemini Man's Special Weapon. It was based on the "reaction element" discovered by Dr. Light. The Gemini Laser shoots a blue energy beam that reacts to the opponent's thoughts, and it reflects when it hits substances that do not have thoughts, like walls.
- Gyro Attack: Gyro Attack is Gyro Man's Special Weapon, a green propeller-shaped cutter that is fired forward and can change direction, up or down, once per shot.
- Noise Crush: Noise Crush, also known as Crash Noise and Crush Noise, is Shade Man's special weapon. It fires a powerful sound wave to damage enemies. If the wave hits a wall, it will bounce off it. If it comes in contact with Proto Man, he will charge automatically, and he can then discharge a powerful wave. The charged wave is larger and will do more damage to enemies.
- Pharaoh Wave: Pharaoh Wave replaces Pharaoh Shot as the weapon obtained by the player in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. It is obtained by the player that takes the Special Weapon Item after defeating Pharaoh Man in the "Recover the new parts!" course. When used by Pharaoh Man and the playable characters, it releases two waves, one forward and one backwards. Also, when Pharaoh Man's giant eye is hit, he counters by releasing one wave from the eye. Pharaoh Wave is Gemini Man's weakness, and can hit the two Gemini Men at the same time.
- Plant Barrier: Plant Barrier is Plant Man's Special Weapon. It is a barrier of condensed energy shaped like flower petals that spins around the user and protects him from some attacks.
- Power Stone: Power Stone is Stone Man's Special Weapon. In most appearances it releases three stones that spiral about by using the force of attraction on each other to crush enemies with their circumferential orbit. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters it summons a large stone hand from the ground.
- Quick Boomerang: Quick Boomerang is Quick Man's Special Weapon. It is a small boomerang-shaped cutter that can be fired at high speed, but has short range. Mega Man can fire a couple of boomerangs with a small amount of energy.
- Rolling Cutter: Rolling Cutter is Cut Man's Special Weapon, a versatile cutter made of ceratanium that can cut anything in half. It has the form of a large pair of extremely sharp scissor blades that are thrown like boomerangs, flying in front of the user in a teardrop-shaped pattern, before returning to the person that used it.
- Shadow Blade: Shadow Blade is Shadow Man's Special Weapon in the original Mega Man series. It is a large hira shuriken that can be thrown to attack. When used by Shadow Man, the shuriken is coated with a special, deadly liquid that is capable of deranging the functions of mechanisms. He usually throws two Shadow Blades at a time: one diagonally up and the other in front of him.
- Slash Claw: Slash Claw is Slash Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It allows the user to swing his arm to generate a crescent-shaped beam of energy straight forward. It is a short range weapon, but the powerful slashes are very effective against smaller enemies.
- Super Arm: Super Arm is Guts Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It is a special equipment that allows the user to lift and throw heavy rocks. Its power cannot be adjusted, so the user should avoid certain actions (like shaking hands) with it equipped.
- Thunder Beam: Thunder Beam is Elec Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. When used by Mega Man or other characters, three high power electric energy beams are shot in different directions, one forward, one straight up, and one straight down. It also has the ability to go through enemies and hit multiple times, making it a powerful weapon.
*Chill Spike: Chill Spike, also known as Chilled Spike in Japan, is Chill Man's special weapon from Mega Man 10. This weapon launches a special freezing gel which flies in a parabolic trajectory. An enemy hit by this liquid may freeze and become unable to move, similar to the effects of the Ice Slasher. The gel freezes when it strikes the ground or wall and forms razor-sharp icicles on the spot where it landed, which can be used as a trap. Aside from the Wily Capsule and Sprinklans, enemies weak to Chill Spike are only weak to the trap portion of the weapon. Chill Spike can also damage some of the enemies otherwise invulnerable to normal weapons.
- Commando Bomb: Commando Bomb is Commando Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 10. When equipped, the player will fire out a missile that travels in a straight path. After launching the Commando Bomb, pressing up or down on the Control Pad will make it turn at a 90 degree angle. Pressing left or right will make it turn again. When it impacts a wall, ceiling, or floor, it will produce a large blast which spreads horizontally or vertically, and follows the contours of the landscape. The blast can sometimes strike multiple times. The bomb itself without the explosion is not very powerful, and striking an enemy before it impacts a surface will prevent the explosion. This weapon can be used to break through certain walls. The Commando Bomb can only be used if there are at least three units of Weapon Energy remaining. If it is moved horizontally a second time, it will inch the player forward one pixel. Also, the bomb's direction can only be changed twice.
- Rebound Striker: Rebound Striker is Strike Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 10. When use, Proto Man will throw a rubber super ball either straight forward or diagonally up or down that bounces off of surfaces. As it gets faster and stronger with each successive bounce, it builds up power to inflict more damage to the target. It can bounce up to five times. When this weapon is used, it is not shot out of the gun but actually thrown with the player character's free hand.
- Solar Blaze: Solar Blaze is Solar Man's special weapon in Mega Man 10. It is a fire projectile that splits apart and launches two fire waves to the left and right after a set period of time or after hitting an enemy or surface, which look like two Fire Storm blasts. It is effective against enemies that cannot be attacked from the front, like Shield Attackers, and can hit two enemies between the player. It can be used to break some blocks. The Solar Blaze is quite slow if it is allowed to move the full distance before it splits apart.
- Thunder Wool: Thunder Wool is Sheep Man's special weapon in Mega Man 10. Proto Man launches a thunder wool-cloud that slowly rises, and a lightning bolt shoots straight down from the cloud. He can fire up to two consecutive shots. The cloud itself does very minimal damage. Pairing two clouds together will increase the lightning strike area and power. Thunder Wool is Pump Man's primary weakness, a single bolt from this weapon can not only penetrate and dissipate his Water Shield, but can also strike Pump Man in the process.
- Triple Blade: Triple Blade is Blade Man's special weapon in Mega Man 10. When equipped, the player fires three blades that move in three different directions, being able to attack multiple enemies at one time. There are two patterns: surface-to-air on the ground, and air-to-surface in mid-jump. It can sometimes destroy Shield Attackers from the front.
- Water Shield: Water Shield is Pump Man's Special Weapon that the player obtains in Mega Man 10. When equipped with this weapon, a rotating shield of water surrounds the user. Unlike other shields the Water Shield isn't all together, but instead 8 water droplets slowly form around the user. Pressing the attack button once more deactivates the Water Shield and hurls the water out at high-speeds that spiral outward. Despite being a shield weapon, projectiles are still able to make it through due to the spacing between each water droplet.
- Wheel Cutter: Wheel Cutter is Nitro Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 10. The user attaches a spinning blade to his arm to dart at enemies, and by releasing the attack button it is launched at enemies, following the contours of the landscape. Up to three Wheel Cutters can be launched at a time and it's effective for attacking distant enemies. In addition, by holding a Wheel Cutter near a wall, it can be used to quickly scale them.

Standard Tactics: Bass more often goes for fusing with Treble along with using the robot master power up that best suits the situation along with his own bass buster.
Weaknesses: If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.
Trivia
- Bass is labeled as "Dr. Wily's most powerful creation" in the Bass mode trailer of Mega Man 10.
- Despite being Mega Man's rival, Bass has never been a main stage boss. As of now, he has only been fought against as a mini-boss within the Wily Castle and Wily Tower stages of Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8.
- Bass's name is mispronounced as 'bass', as in the fish, in Mega Man 8.
- Aside from Dr. Wily, Bass has the most lines of any character in the original series.
- Bass shouts "Damn!" in the original English release of Mega Man 7, but is censored to "Darn!" in re-releases.
- "Emulous" (Bass' good point in the Mega Man & Bass CD data) is defined as "amibitious or eager to emulate/inspired by or deriving from a desire to emulate".[19]
- The cloak that Bass wore in Rockman Online seems to be inspired by his NetNavi counterpart Bass.EXE's similar cloak.
- Despite Bass' helmet extending right down to his jaw, like Ballade's helmet, this feature is not present in any of his sprites, although it is seen in in-game artwork and official artwork of Bass. It should also be noted that various manga adaptations have depicted Bass without his helmet extending down to his jaw, i.e. Mega Man Megamix.
