| “ | Mega Man has more than 10 different weapons at his disposal. His forward air attack, Flame Sword, affects a wide area and doesn't leave much of an opening, making it useful in a variety of situations. His Leaf Shield special spins four leaves around him to deflect projectiles or hurt foes. He can also fire the leaves forward. | „ |

Origin
Based on these successes, Light then built six Robot Masters: Cut Man, Guts Man, Ice Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, and Elec Man. Once he got wind of this news, Dr. Wily grew jealous of the recognition Light received for their work. Wily then began his designs for world conquest, which involved stealing the Robot Masters and reprogramming them to do his bidding. Seeing Rock and Roll as useless, Wily left them behind, inadvertently creating his ultimate undoing, as Rock would volunteer to be converted into a fighting robot. As Mega Man, he would thwart Wily's plans time and time again. As Mega Man, Rock possesses the Mega Buster, a weapon that converts his hands into a powerful energy cannon. From Mega Man 4 onwards until Mega Man 9, the Mega Buster can be charged to release a Charge Shot. Beginning in Mega Man 3 and again continuing until Mega Man 9, he also possesses the ability to slide along the ground. Both of these abilities return in Mega Man 11. Mega Man's most impressive ability, however, is his Variable Weapons System, which allows him to copy the powers of Robot Masters he defeats. These weapons then prove useful for taking out smaller enemies or another Robot Master weak to that particular weapon in a rock-paper-scissor style system. Mega Man is consistently shown to have a strong sense of justice, highly valuing peace. These values were what led him to be converted into a fighting robot in the first place, and the games stress Mega Man's never-ending fight to ensure peace. It should be noted that these values were manually coded by Dr. Light, as he canonically does not have free will beyond the limits of his programming. Mega Man does have his breaking point, though, as seen in Mega Man 7. Tired of his repeated attempts at world domination, Mega Man attempts to kill Dr. Wily, but cannot do so due to his binding to Asimov's laws of robotics. It was this incident that drove Dr. Light to create a more advanced, human-like android that did not adhere to the laws of robotics, resulting in Mega Man's successor, Mega Man X. This news inspires Dr. Wily to do the same, which results in the creation of Zero. The ultimate fate of Mega Man is unclear, however, as there are no traces of his existence by the events of Mega Man X, which takes place a century after the original series. Mega Man has a large group of allies and companions who help him on his adventures. Dr. Light and Roll often serve in an advisory capacity, while other robots help him more directly. Rush, Mega Man's robotic dog, serves as transportation for him by transforming into tools such as a spring or jet, or by directly merging with Mega Man. Other robot helpers include Eddie, a small robot that distributes items, Beat, a bird robot that attacks enemies and saves Mega Man from falling into pits, and Auto, a robot assistant of Dr. Light that creates parts and upgrades for Mega Man. After a brief stint of working for Dr. Wily in Mega Man 3, Proto Man occasionally appears to assist Mega Man and give him advice on how to proceed with certain robot masters. Mega Man also has a rival called Bass and his own robotic dog Treble (called Forte and Gospel respectively in Japan). Created by Dr. Wily and initially arch enemies with Mega Man, Bass' villainous tendencies later shifted into more of an anti-heroic role after Wily effectively disregarded him while Zero was in development. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS
Mega Man is placed 27th on the tier list, placing him within the C tier. With his arsenal of projectiles at his disposal, Mega Man is granted a strong spacing game. Some of these projectiles also have useful utility, with Metal Blade being able to be thrown in all 8 directions, Crash Bomber being ideal for pressuring shields, and up aerial having the potential to KO opponents easily at the top blast line. Mega Man also possesses some highly powerful finishers, such as up tilt, down smash, and down aerial, and he also has great air mobility due to his good air speed and high air acceleration. However, being dependent on projectiles leaves Mega Man at a disadvantage against opponents with reflectors (and Villager), and his quick falling speed and high weight give him a vulnerability to vertical hits. Overall, Mega Man's high learning curve has not allowed for much tournament representation, but his results have been impressive thanks to the efforts of players such as ScAtt and Kameme.

| Sandbag | When attacked, produces items. |
| Screw Attack | Turns the holder's jumps into Screw Attacks. In Melee, applies for as long as the holder keeps the item, and a forced Screw Attack will be applied to those the item is thrown at. In Brawl, applies until the item wears off and does not need to be held in-hand once picked up. |
| Smart Bomb | Produces a large explosion when thrown or attacked. Has a chance to be a dud, though it can still explode if hit or thrown again. |

Other
Standard Tactics: Smash characters are general wild cards whose moveset tailor to how a person plays. Thus making it hard to tell what their standard tactics are.
Weaknesses: Holding their shield too long will cause it to break leaving them in a dazed state.
Note: The attack that Tabuu used to one-shot the entire Smash cast is far above his regular attacks and this is further proven in-game as when he uses this same attack it one-shots whoever is on-screen thus arguing that they should not scale to Tabuu because he one-shotted them is not accurate as it's with a very specific attack.
Trivia
- Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie are the only third-party playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series to have debuted on a Nintendo system. Mega Man and Simon doing so on the NES games Mega Man and Castlevania, respectively, the Hero debuted on the Nintendo 3DS with Dragon Quest XI (and his alternate costumes, Erdrick and Solo, both debuted on the NES), and Banjo and Kazooie made their formal debuts in Banjo-Kazooie for the Nintendo 64.
- Mega Man, Steve and Pac-Man are the only playable third-party characters who don't have any voice clips.
- Mega Man and Pac-Man are also the only third-party characters to debut as starters.
- Mega Man's ability to wall jump in the Smash series is a reference to the subseries Mega Man X, where Mega Man's wall kick was an integral part of the game.
- Mega Man himself has also been shown capable of wall jumps in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
- Mega Man is the second playable character to be referred to by an alias, rather than a form of their real name, after Solid Snake and predating Bayonetta and Joker.
- Mega Man is the only fighter in the series to stand completely still while idle, if not performing idle animations. This is based on his original sprite in Mega Man. He also stays still when crouching and when after a victory pose.
- Mega Man is also the only humanoid fighter with eyes who does not blink, due to him being a robot. Ironically, Mega Man was one of the first games to include blinking sprites, and the developer direct for Super Smash Bros. 4 shows Mega Man blinking in an early build.

You move through a cloud-filled sky over a vast mountain range, then into a deep-space vista of dark blues and purples. The scenery is as real as you get in this fantastical world."
