Introduction

Doing a speed calculation. For context, it's noted as a plot point in Mega Man 3's manual that Mega Man travels across planets through teleporting. Which is the first feat.

"Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”. “GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace. Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”… –However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!!"

This also creates a feat from Mega Man V where Proto Man travels from Earth to Pluto through his teleporter.

Mega Man 3

Link to the feat once again.

The planets Mega Man travels to in 3 are not within our solar system and are all uncharted, so we'll use the baseline assumption of the nearest solar system from Earth based on Mega Man's first choice for a robot master implying he's still at Earth during this and Proto Man teleporting him back home at the end of the game. Both of these have an unused timeframe but we can assume no more then a minute since Mega Man is not only in a hurry during the game but Dr. Light notes he just found Mega Man on the ground suddenly.

Nearest Solar System is 4.3 lightyears away from Earth.

So (4.068e+13 km)/(60s) = 6.78e11 km/s or 2,261,564.56544347x Speed of Light

Mega Man V

Link to the feat once again.

Ok so, the basic assumption was that Proto was at Earth, makes little sense to assume he was just randomly jerking around on some other planet. The timeframe I'm going to use is from when the music stops to when Proto Man appears, so around 6 seconds.

Pluto on average is 5.05 billion kilometers from Earth.

(5050000000km)/6s = 841666666.6666666666666667 km/s or 16844.98680751
