* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydyfI8_iK90 Wily Stage 1]], A dark, somber (and, quite frankly, underrated) song perfectly fitting such NintendoHard levels and their cruel master. Made even more awesome with the version from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw8_PWBiVH8 Mega Man Powered Up.]]
%%* Most of the ''Powered Up'' remixes deserve a mention. Worthy of note are the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJNWLwFIhiA Fire Man]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJNWLwFIhiA Elec Man]] remixes.
* ''Powered Up'''s rendition of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kazzSlJiADo Wily Stage 2]], a delightfully ominous prelude to the final battle...
* You want a great remastering? Check out ''Mega Man 1''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ctm-bDNhzg 8BitStereo.]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzb9pFwyiFY Wily Boss theme]], a frantic and chaotic fight theme. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtQQv4Z6HE remastered version for Shadow Devil]] in ''VideoGame/MegaManX5''.

[[AC:VideoGame/MegaMan2]]
* The intro starts it off quite nicely, and will probably be the one most people recognize as the 'Mega Man Theme' (aside from [=MM3=]'s intro or Wily Stage 1 below).
* Megalomania's remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R-tZ964iEg Quick Man]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiLsCtRC94I Flash Man]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uQjgTzw1Qw Wood Man]] are pretty amazing. Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiCpU8pvt10 Breis' remix of Metal Man]].
* One of the best ''Mega Man'' songs, and the one most likely to be recognized, is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJRoRt155mA Wily's Castle Stage 1/2]], from ''VideoGame/MegaMan2''. It's so good and so fondly remembered that people have turned it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmaltChJnV0 into an actual song called "Omoide wa Okkusenman"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9XomdyPcFQ with different versions]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiUmmQyTvTY like in violin form]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq-UIQCQIwo and a cappella]].
** No "Okkusenman" collection can be complete without mentioning [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=502NJA9zG8E Psycho and J's high-energy J-rock version]], which sounds like something X-Japan would bust out, and was used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv9n78NJfvI this video]], which cut this song to footage of X-Japan's final televised concert.
** Or perhaps the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weI7rJ6NYe4 "Minibosses" awesome rock version]], a medley of many of the game's best tracks. (Wily theme 1/2 is about seven minutes in.)
** And while the song is quite awesome by itself, there are [[Music/JAMProject certain people]] who could raise its awesomeness SerialEscalation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nnl0ycLvgU And guess what - it happened!]]
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrvCt4rbh2s They even performed it live, too!]]
*** One crazy guy mixed this with ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' video, and it results in [[https://youtu.be/4faY55gKVBM this.]]
*** The maker was inspired by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOL5fCk3ves this]] video, which may cause you to cry [[ManlyTears tears of MANLINESS]]!
** Indie metal band Armory'also included an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIJU8kRPViw awesome metal remix]] as a bonus track on their ''Dawn of Enlightenment'' CD.
** And if you enjoyed all of those, why not the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2g40ae_7E rock arrangement from the 20th anniversary album]]?
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOuBZC8Dy_k techno arrangement from the same album]] is also kickass.
** [[WithLyrics Gotta run]] [[Music/BrentalFloss gotta run now...]]
** [[Music/TheMegas I want to be the one who fights for justice / I want to be the one / I've got to be the one!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds88aL1hB6Q I want to be the one who fights against you / Doctor Wily!]]
** [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Although I like]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5lO3zUYU0o your moustache]].
** And it got an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqBiAm6ujxo awesome remix]] for ''Power Battles'' and the Anniversary Edition.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO4sbmHFh3o Also getting a version]] for his appearance in the new ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.

%%** The version by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BugUWeJIU8Y S.S.H]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOIjzmMZi_s Crash Man]] was oddly uplifting for an explosives expert. Here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB6YP2bxfiw Complete Works version]] and Music/{{Hyadain}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBkwyaA2ScU version]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fZnBluP7Eo Boss Battle]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkkqRNU2LE4 Complete Works version]]) was another memorable theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nznGPGE4t4 Stage Select]], ''especially'' the tropical-themed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8p6e0g-arA Complete Works]] variant.
* Don't try to deny imagining the laser sounds when you listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-uZF2rE7dQ Quick Man's stage]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si8HiBgcg_U Metal Man's stage music]] is so good it actually causes his weapon to be the most powerful one in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsW3oYwD2oM Flash Man's stage]] may wrap around quickly, but it's still intensely groovy stuff that takes the sting out of the game's obligatory SlippySlideyIceWorld.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1J6M9pkQ3c Bubble Man's stage]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tOSYlBPO0U the Complete Works version.]] Strangely relaxing, and well suited to the underwater sections of the level.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD1eW8wXSk0 Air Man's stage]]. [[MemeticMutation Even better if you can beat him]].
%%* The somber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J73r_zDlXaA Ending theme]].

[[AC:VideoGame/MegaMan3]]
* The ever so loved [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEf8gPFFZ58 TITLE THEME]] is the most magnificent intro music in the entire series. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkKnsgfOLCU Complete Works version]])
** Megalomanias' remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrjenDacFWI The title theme]] is one of the best remixes from the classic ''Mega Man'' series.
** Also noteworthy is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J12HL_Xf0LY Year 200X's take on the theme]].
** One worthy mention to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM7iF9EJ7gQ this]] piano rendition. It sounded so great on piano while still capturing the original in-game tune.
** And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpbw6CODaB4 this]] one is a good version too.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h92upxAitdk Magnet Man]] is one of the ''happiest'' songs in the series.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acJXzrpLahU Snake Man]] gets a reverb-heavy theme that beautifully complements the reptile scale decor of his stage.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP-Yjn1E05M Spark Man's]] theme. It's even remixed for the fourth ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' game!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEAzwDqCxvw Gemini Man]] gets a funky, almost laid back theme that lulls Mega Man into a false sense of security before facing the Robot Master himself - or, rather, Robot Masters themselves, as "Gemini" is a MeaningfulName for the attack pattern...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liLtjlF8Xh4 Shadow Man's theme]] starts with a catchy bassline and just gets better from there.
** Here's ''The Wily Wars'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kkRu3x8AuA version]].
** ''Battle Network'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-qqfbuOsrs remix]].
** ''Power Fighters'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQCmu7DuA8k counterpart]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDJbOB1h2EU Needle Man]] gets a dark, atmospheric tune that is absolutely perfect for the nighttime Rush Jet flight in the Doc Robot version of the level.
* Sure the weapon is worthless, and sure the boss is pathetic, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc-12guILlE Top Man's theme]] is still awesome. Then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvXonDictM0 Wily Wars version of Top Man's theme,]] which is one of the few themes in Wily Wars that many consider to be actually better than the NES original theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzr37-SZmfM Wily Stages 1 and 2]] may not be as iconic as its counterpart from the previous game, but it still has a sense of urgency appropraite for the beginning of the game's last - and most difficult - section.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ3hNF3EyGA Dr. Wily Stages 3 and 4]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otnIGb_1Le0 Complete Works Version]]) dials up the urgency as Mega Man heads deeper into Wily's fortress toward the rematches against the eight Robot Masters.
* And, rounding out the trio, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ9ySQX_PF8 Wily Stages 5 and 6]], a perfect mix of creepiness and impending doom.
* The entire song may not play in-game, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra5VxSbQszg the Wily Stage intro]] theme for this game is delightfully spooky.
* The music for when you get a new weapon is made of awesome. ''[=MM3=]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fubizPiqpvc just says,]] "I have a new power, and I'm coming to kick ass!"
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRlDxDjzx7A original weapon get theme]] is more awesome than not just any of its remixes, but ''any other'' weapon get theme in the entire series. In fact, said theme was so awesome, it was brought back as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeKcgN5kxsU the US opening theme]] for ''X5'' (it kicks in at 0:15).
** [[SerialEscalation Can you make an already awesome track sound more awesome?]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b2CWouCaLw This]] remix speaks for itself.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNkRMbD6nDY Stage Select]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrUtegc5Smg Complete Works version]]). For not being included in the techno remix of the 20th Anniversary Rockman - Techno Arrange version, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_Qbt0TyxNk this.]] Don't mind the description.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkvZ4JvzlIQ Boss Battle]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD_Br8_kA88 Complete Works version]]) made the pain of fighting [[ThatOneBoss Doc Robot]] all the worthwhile. Even more so for the Yellow Devil Mk. II and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql314VvNeMY Wily Castle stage boss theme]].
* Proto Man's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkKKAQNxY4I Whistle Concert]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQxmAvM9T18 This.]] It'll make you cry ManlyTears.
** And if that didn't, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH0v1tCYhZI this]] will.

[[AC:VideoGame/MegaMan4]]
* Megalomanias' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI3KyviaT6c Pharaoh Man]]. Also KHARAMIX's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a6kLj6c8ww Remixed Pharaoh Man.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_wpW6zpqHY Cossack's 2nd theme]] is hands down the best fortress theme in the classic series EVER. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lek7z037pA Complete Works version here.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqj0clNDTaU Remix here.]]) It really made you feel like you were scaling the highest parts of Cossack's fortress amidst a gathering storm.
* The game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA95aSG2FYk final stage theme]] is even more epic.
* ''Mega Man 4'''s final boss theme is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3B85DIMNUc a constantly looped 11-second track of music.]] And it's still awesome!
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXMMo_sNgUk Ring Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joz0T6M8OUk Complete Works version]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LcXeF0xlKg Bright Man]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6xDTHe_asE Complete Works version]] is full of bass-y guitar goodness.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ABrEvM_ZE Pharaoh Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJUJB9WTuWk Complete Works version]]), an atmospheric, Egyptian-tinged theme backed by a relentless snare line.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv0HLs0BWBY Cossack Stage 1]] is a criminally underrated theme that fits the first Cossack stage incredibly well.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5oXCTDeHFE Dive Man]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-rgxR_zIC4 Skull Man]], a cheerful track featuring some of the best-sounding 8-bit drums on the NES.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku_Ur8MAwIs Drill Man.]] So awesome, that it was featured in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnunSRIyqWs Rockman Online trailer.]] (the music starts kicking at 0:53)
%%* The overlooked [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMPq6AzQTWI Ending theme]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Q-XqQ8tB4 Toad Man]] himself may have been hilariously weak, but his music isn't... especially that bassline.

[[AC:Mega Man 5]]
* The Complete Works set is pretty good, but U-GEN's remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsT54Sx1lxA Charge Man]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHo3h0iulh0 Wily Stages]] take the cake.
* Napalm Man's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvw2GVlJWVk NES cut]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pedpw_SS388 Game Boy cut]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3p6-SPO6bs Complete Works version]]). And did you ever imagine Napalm Man, a living arsenal on foot (well, treads), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcqyeteskio getting a jazz treatment?]] [[UpToEleven With]] [[WithLyrics lyrics?]]
%%* Gravity Man's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9sOiROSpNU NES mix]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jifo5gUSXi4 Complete Works remix]]).
* Gyro Man's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvv28zR5Eio&t=77s NES version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQZ480DzS4 Complete Works remix]]) suits the LevelInTheClouds theme of the stage blissfully.
* Crystal Man's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-2gN3a334E NES version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcgdQUmeAZk Game Boy version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61tWEQ0Phj0 Complete Works version]]) complements the shimmering rock formations of the level beautifully with its minimalist scoring and its harmonic modulations.
* Star Man's theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsc-NbIqaEA NES version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeFK7yVbN-o Complete Works remix]]). The tune's heavy echo and offbeat, dissonant harmonies are very well suited for an outer space level.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOzdjR91wag Stone Man's theme]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHJcd9CiB5I Complete Works version]]) stands out for some rather clever chord progressions.
* Proto Man's stage theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juyogUMglZg NES version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmjDywjfmiA Complete Works remix]]).
** As the description puts it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8j_YUq_Vcs "The people that made this really, really like Darkman's theme."]]
** ''Rockman Holic'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGAYC-hQ4Cs delivers.]]
* Wily's stage theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BBXHsUvFP0 NES version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX__kXWFMTU Complete Works remix]]), composed by Creator/YokoShimomura.
* The main boss theme ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFD_H9pjTxc NES cut]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdwE5Ls6MD8 Game Boy cut]]). The opening riff of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWDegTRd0uc Complete Works mix]] is essentially [[IncomingHam INCOMING AWESOME!]]
* Of all the arranged music made or recycled for the ''Complete Works'' series, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgCs20MaweQ this one]] is the only original composition. And it is GOOD.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cj3i_0JItc "Get A Weapon" music]], very awesome even though it's a rather simple bass jingle.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kozTMLFSgIU Final Boss theme]] features some kick-ass echoes. Plus it has a certain attitude, very much giving it the flavor of a VillainSong.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpwe5Z4LBYw Ending theme.]]

[[AC:Mega Man 6]]
* U-GEN's remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nd25uVPJtM Blizzard Man]]. Also, there's a number of interesting remixes which have themed instruments based on where the Robot Masters actually came from--here's the link for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkL2-wC7fio Tomahawk Man]], you can follow the links to the others.
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan6'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BselAFaGfaQ Final Battle]], because it ''does'' sound like it is the final battle, glad it wasn't though. Here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdE-rGOUNUU Complete Works version]] for good measure.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onjJOITgjp4 Stage Select Theme.]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTnoX9JFblo Complete Works version]]). If that doesn't get someone pumped for fighting Robot Masters, what will?
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QELcaSaWw0 Plant Man.]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTwXJ4bQA1U Complete Works version]])
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3c67kv0saI Yamato Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZJYIuUslG4 Complete Works version]]) has a mysterious Asian-influenced theme, perfect for exploring his castle.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoht_KRBTz4 Tomahawk Man.]] Megaman does Western, and it perfectly captures the spirit of the stage. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeUboRWkQa8 Complete Works version]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfRbiNWU98I Remix]] from the 20th Anniversary Rock Arrange CD here.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oil4MlUZq6I Knight Man's stage.]] Heroic and regal, perfectly complementing Knight Man's hi-tech Medieval castle. It's been said it'd be right at home in ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' as well. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj_zA5t1X_I Complete Works version]] here.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXGBC7jpmF0 Wind Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dno_grSAKg Complete Works version]]).
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhA7FygSiy0 Flame Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OCsKbNa4Yc Complete Works version]]).
* The theme for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhJ7Ss-puVY Mr. X Stage]] [[PaperThinDisguise (cough) Wily! (cough)]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tFCeL5n2DU Complete Works version]]) was oddly soothing.

[[AC:Mega Man 7]]
* Behold--Breis' remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAAEUiP7Hhs Shade Man]], PAY HOMAGE!
* [[{{Leitmotif}} Bass's theme]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs2aNI5wY6Q Here ya go]]. And here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyO279azD_g technofied remix]] from ''8'' for good measure.
%%* Also from ''Mega Man 7'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F6oBVSPULA Slash Man's stage]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QvVL4Xk3ZE Burst Man's stage]] themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htqSQnTgfMg Opening Stage]] (and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAiERYeVvho Mad Grinder remix]] from ''The Power Fighters''). This theme is fitting for a city in ruins being sieged by a big robot, and a robot saving the city.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVsL6a20zPA Junk Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-bqvqdCXKA Power Fighters version]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24wtlVy81gQ Wily Stage 1]], one of the best Wily stages in the series, with its melancholy harmonies. Not only does it work for Castle themes, but also shows the rage of being betrayed by Bass and having enough of Wily's attempts.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyVY-8tt-Ng Wily Stage 2.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ScD9OzdC0 Wily Stage 4.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huDeUlKBsv0 Wily Capsule]] and the rest of the fortress boss theme. It's an amazing them that's guaranteed to make you frantic and get your adrenaline pumped.
* An example that most players will probably miss, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEZcGJZHRdY The Robot Museum]]. [[LongSongShortScene The stage is practically nonexistent]], but it's a great medley of Snake Man, Guts Man, and Heat Man's themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcKuycu7LSM Shade Man.]] As well the alternate song for that stage, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWxf0SLEVFM coming out of Ghosts 'n Goblins.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-_MHWEGiFA Freeze Man.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiLqsaFYNxw The ending theme.]]

[[AC:Mega Man 8]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkMbXr151_Y Duo's theme]], sounding like a mixture of a victory fanfare and a Mecha battle. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alg1mDurFyQ Duo Appears]], a cutscene variant.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeIlXylRNP4 Intro Stage]]. It's tranquil and melodic, befitting of the backdrop.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS2v9_ey-sA Stage Select]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xX2n8UaApI Boss Battle]].
* Tengu Man, which goes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81pQ4KaU94s relaxed on the PSX]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDE3ij7Nzvg a fast-packed, driving track with a mindblowingly catchy trumpet hook on the Sega Saturn]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLUwCW3dm5U Frost Man]]. The high notes and the trumpet bring up the image of walking in a cold city.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3KiM0QiMK4 Grenade Man]]. Who knew that gospel went hand-in-hand with a psychotic, trigger-happy BloodKnight?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUPLLJC3-Gk Astro Man]]. Considering that the entire stage is one big acid trip, it works.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQo2pONXtAU The title theme]] was riveting, to say the least.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il06IFowTTY The track]] that plays during the fight between Mega Man and Bass in the intro. [[LongSongShortScene Should have been used for a boss battle or something...]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_2ZSPrddQQ Cut Man]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk7k0TveRaM Wood Man]] remixes for the BonusBoss battles with them in the Saturn versions.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiU6elbwdKM Wily Stage 1]]. It just kicks ass. Too bad the stage and boss are jerks.
* From the ending, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0IclnEtdl8 Reminiscene]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NI2qFWbYGk Proto Man's theme]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guwV4H08BA8 the credits reel]], all in rapid sucession.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g42uM4DhVE Still Life]], which was remade into the theme of ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8errfBaeo0 The American intro theme]] surprisingly fits the intro like a glove.
** Don't forget [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOtQQV7jrS8 Electrical Communication]], the J-Pop song used in the Japanese version! J-Pop + Mega Man = Heck yes, another way to get you pumped up for the action to come.
** And while we're at it, here's the Japanese ending, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpJpaLTK5-0 Brand New Way]]. Dontcha feel satisfied after beating the game listening to this? No, seriously, this wouldn't feel out of place as an ending theme for an anime!
** In fact, these two epic pieces were reused for ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman''.
* Handsome Guy, er, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHyYRlhgg2E Aqua Man's]] stage.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-wez5eZwWA Wily Stage 2]] is very refreshing to hear after the infamous Wily Stage 1. Very suitable for the Rush Jet sequence on the last half of the stage.
* The Wily Machine 8 Theme: The [[https://youtu.be/MfVETYCmIlk Sony PSX]] & [[https://youtu.be/aUT_RKAdxBM Sega Saturn]] renditions have subtle differences but both nicely emphasize Dr. Wily's madness, summing up the character in these chilling soundtracks. Good candidates for Wily's {{Leitmotif}}.

[[AC:Mega Man 9]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' brings brand new 8-bit beats to a not-so-8-bit world:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7qcJwJfyyk Splash Blue]], from Splash Woman's stage. Suitably aquatic-sounding and easy-going for the game's underwater level.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdDbbzuq1vY Galaxy Fantasy]], from Galaxy Man's stage. One of the most frantic-sounding stage themes, and the ascending figure just before it loops around is a delight.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwQ9iCqtpUk Concrete Jungle]], from Concrete Man's stage. The percussion solo at the beginning really helps to hook you on the song before transitioning into a somber, yet fast-paced tune that manages to mix both an industrial and natural feel for a stage set in a dam in the forest.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTvjc12new0 Thunder Tornado]], from Tornado Man's stage. It's the song they used for the trailer for good reason.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdLQzZwqVqA Jewel Temptation]], from Jewel Man's stage. It just oozes a sense of fabulousness, especially at the beginning of the song, making it very fitting for a Robot Master like Jewel Man.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OMF8Yknu3w Hornet Dance]], from Hornet Man's stage. A melodic, incredibly moving piece for the trek through the gardens in Hornet Man's Stage.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7sjf6p2Dqs Plug Electric]], from Plug Man's stage. True to the name, it's got a very mechanical, Techno-style feel to it, making it a perfect fit for the game's electric style stage.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCgsV4KNRd4 Magma Burning]], from Magma Man's stage. It's definitely a fire robot theme, with a somewhat dramatic air to it.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUmH36qC-k Splash Blue]], and World Outs' remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgFgGAabeFs Tornado Man]].
* The Dr. Wily levels collectively have some of the best Wily music in the series:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_UPDQYsGGQ Flash in the Dark]], from the first stage. Some have even referred to it as the modern-day successor to "Wily's Castle 1/2"!
** [[https://youtu.be/PGh8CT4283g We're the Robots]], from the second stage, has a real drive to it that keeps you powering through one of the longest levels in the game.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeXAxoYXny4 Strange World]], from the third stage, features a fragmented-sounding melody that complements the ever increasing stakes of this level - complete with two vertical autoscrollers - very well indeed.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnJVzStPscc Castle of Evil]], from the fourth and final stage. The music keeps looping itself perfectly and it sounds appropriately "chaotic", just like you expect when you're near the end.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nk72j3FKkU Wily Machine]], the final boss music.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2QOJDWErPc Overdrive Scramble]], the music for the Special Stage hosting Fake Man.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPvBa35R6OE Maze of Death]], the music for the Endless Stage.

[[AC:Mega Man 10]]
* The AST for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpc6uiCajbc Against the Pressure]]. The E-Tank set is probably the best set of remixes for the other soundtracks though, here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFk2jO8Istg Nitro Man]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl_Le1SKn-o Solar Man]].
* The music from the trailer, which ended up being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4L3UEK-Wwg Nitro Man's stage theme]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey3j3ziyd9E The Image version]] is also pretty good.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bK3Pf8SIx4 Shooting Staaaaar!]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaybSX-BR2Y King of Blades]], Blade Man's stage theme. It might not seem all that great to some people, as it feels like an 8-bit theme based upon a much higher-resolution soundtrack, but arrangements seem to fix this problem nicely. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp__HZ--R98 Teckwork's XG-MIDI Composition]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyp6LWv_VlM Valiant Clash by E-Tank]] really bring this song to life.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soGhdXV45vs Desert Commando,]] a somber tune with a bit of a Middle-Eastern vibe to it. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4Wo1-vrIA AST remix]] ramps up the Middle-Eastern feel, and combines it with some beautiful guitar riffs.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qLfLcVTr14 Solar Inferno]], Solar Man's stage theme, is a contender for the heaviest piece in the classic series, almost like a track from the X series in 8-bit form.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltg5Kys3OUE Abandoned Memory]], from the first Wily stage.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgTZhVEhDuw A SNES remix of it]], as if it were composed for ''VideoGame/MegaManX2''.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgGUJ5MVUQo And here's the Genesis remix of it]], which sounds as if it were in ''Thunder Force''.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej5qXKUjFK0 Silent Rain]], which serves as a prelude to Abandoned Memory.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HozdujUyTUk Against The Pressure]], from the second Wily stage. It starts with one of the most wicked sounding intros in Mega Man music's history, before transitioning to a very heroic and determined track, giving a sense that you're here to put a stop to a truly villainous plot.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pGHXBuKB4A No Turning Back]], from the third Wily stage.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmeIjZblW-g The Wily Machine battle theme]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYGn4dL3BDY Deep In Space]], the final Wily stage, is an otherworldly sounding tune that remixes the game's opening song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myjb9RSweyI Future World]]. A great way to build up to the final showdown with Wily.
%%* And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoCMwMWoZKY the credits, of course]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HExovWE84Ws Sheep Man]] has an otherworldly air to it that further emphasises the reference to Creator/PhilipKDick's ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNi91f13eNQ Teckwork's Cybersheep's Dream]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX_D5Jf09S8 E-Tank's Counting Cybersheep]] keep the trend going. A user by the name of "DjKlzonez" even cooked up a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TuE1QggLqw MM7-style]] arrangement of this song, as did [[https://youtu.be/3kU-zIuOqo8 Princess Zelda 2020]].
* The theme songs for the Special Stages, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-UuoIUVBEM Heart Of Enker]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt0lcRoz4mg Get The Punk Out]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEiOtnE9oLA Farewell To Ballade]]. Twice as awesome if you know [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huHPHKg8DCs where]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmTANLZuRGo they're]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYYgrnA0NTY from]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P965wiVKcJw Proto Man's shop]] is a non-stage example of good ''Mega Man'' music.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56kQQzi5hzM Endless Struggle]].
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVG4USFCal8 Boss Battle music]]. Or the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjzYS68bVXk Wily's Castle Boss theme]], for that matter.
* The Image Soundtrack also has some gems, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRoB5-w3NO8 For You]], Roll's Theme with added instruments, which has been boosted so much by just the violin that it sounds like a character theme from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxtbHgjV1LU Close to the End]], a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJttEO69R3k Starway to Darkness]] and the Wily Machine theme.
* Another great song from the Image soundtrack is
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJr0I03CQL0 Stage Select]] theme for ''Mega Man 10'' is by far one of the best yet for this series.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z66JX88jL2Q shop remix]] of Bass' {{leitmotif}}.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pErxCFRJNd4 Wily Capsule]], considered to be the sequel to ''Mega Man 9''[='=]s Wily Machine theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwi9cx_uAHU Strike Man]], playing ball. It was also the theme for Creator/{{Capcom}}'s website at one point.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G0x5YrMgCI Pump Man]], strangely relaxing.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOGepwAG-s0 Chill Man]] gets a stage theme in which the two top voices alternate between playing in near-unison to create an echo effect and providing a driving rhythm sure to keep Mega Man charging through the frigid air to confront the game's ice-based Robot Master.

[[AC:Mega Man 11]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsNHB_V1hTU Fuse Man's Stage theme]] gets you really pumped, and it's no wonder why it was used for the game's trailer. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxbUSBzFl-M& Its instrumental version]] manages to evoke the nostalgic feeling of an ending theme, with piano solos that make traversing through Fuse Man's stage an intense and powerful experience.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bf2cFa8Q00 Blast Man's Stage theme]] is a tune that's both fitting with the movie set motif and energy-filled enough that it fits in with the rest of the game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3R1BF2fiOo The instrumental]] is also extremely bombastic with the drum beats, with more of an urban feel to it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyK4rH199lU Acid Man's theme]] is a dreary song that fits really well with the lab the stage is set on. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zGF-wQlZQg The instrumental version]] turns the theme into a film-noir or ragtime version that's just as soothing for the ears.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh01NcEKNH4 Tundra Man]] is a cold-sounding yet beautiful theme ready to get your blood pumping in the icy museum you're traversing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAglWjWJKoA The instrumental version]] is a slightly slower and elegant piano-filled remix of the original.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBfrflu1g1Y Fittingly for the Robot Master it's based on,]] Impact Man's theme is heavy and mechanical. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adh7_q1hogw The instrumental version]] makes it seem more like a day-to-day construction site, which is apt for Impact Man.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvWJKZpd2No Bounce Man's instrumental version]] feels like something you'd hear in a child-like amusement park, being joyful sounding with awe-inspiring violin sections.
* Dr. Wily's delightfully diabolical {{Leitmotif}}, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnn7DJVR3kc "Evil Machinations"]], and its remix for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC0Wsqn9vmk Gear Fortress Stage Select]]. Bonus points for the MusicalNod to ''4'''s boss theme.
* The arranged versions of the tracks in the official album are all really great.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-z4mkh1M1w Block Man]] is a very chill remix that brings to mind Search Man & Aqua Man's themes.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIoKUXJvHY Fuse Man]] is a slow-paced orchestral piece that makes it feel like it's part of an official movie soundtrack.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22PMzlntONY Blast Man]] is a jazzy-techno mix that's like an explosion to your ears. It even devolves into a dubstep breakdown at the end!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAYqPkzIPnM Acid Man]], while hardly sounding like the original, provides a neat-sounding electronic song that's distinctly "liquid-like".
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azFmtFASiF8 Tundra Man]] has a song reminiscent of 80's workout songs with female vocals.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSydlUutxFM Torch Man]] is a haunting song that makes it feel like you're on a dangerous forest at night.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8015pUyExk Impact Man]] is a very-urban sounding song that makes it feel like a jazzy construction site.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7DTLvPfwa4 Bounce Man]] is a slow and whimsical piece that's very "aerial" sounding.
* On the official album, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0x4M4PwjzY "RM11"]], sung by Mega Man's seiyuu, Ayaka Fukuhara. That's right, ''Mega Man himself is singing this.''

[[AC:Mega Man & Bass]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0uTXKPTZEM Player Select]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEUwyyII8Zk GBA version]]) is a pounding song that will make you want to choose your character and start playing.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfNSCzO7WNU The intro stage music, the Robot Museum]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKbz73Dkbkg GBA version]]) is a memorable song that's perfect for setting up the mood of the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIsKKrMVlHM Cold Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joQ---_gEEc GBA version]]) is an icy sounding track which gets even better when that trumpet-sounding instrument kicks in, topped off with a mini bass solo before it loops.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eecwz_9tP4 Ground Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4II-4_CpswA GBA version]]) is a fairly heavy-paced track that's fitting for the temple that you're currently ransacking to get to Ground Man.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4sWbNR56dY Dynamo Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3CWvYvB4Go GBA version]]) is an electronic and sciency track that fits the power plant that the stage takes place in.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKqG2VSMpgo Pirate Man]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTueAuakgow GBA version]]) is a marine and tropical song that goes along with the open seascape the level's home to.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb67bX7WODI Tengu Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UEgTa8Ddx4 GBA version]]) is a chill-sounding sky song which feels like you're going on a relaxed plane ride.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_VDlbgakRI Magic Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGhE9_1n660 GBA version]]) is a parade-like tune that makes it feel like the circus is coming to town.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kiF806g9oM Astro Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUOtN454uRs GBA version]]) is a repetitive futuristic song that makes the impending fight with Astro Man seem more and more dangerous.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_a9ETm8q9A Burner Man]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0iTQYkw-9Y GBA version]]) is a bouncy forest tune that's catchy and will leave you coming back to the stage, [[ThatOneLevel whether you like it or not]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODecZTr6lkM Boss Battle]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSP97Hs7iv4 GBA version]]) is a fast-paced action song that brings to mind the hectic bosses that are fought to this tune.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2shHCsqFRY King Tower Stages]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9TjEjKVKFY GBA version]]) is a final-sounding song that'll make you want to clear whatever traps King will throw at you.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZI9FDIPz4Q Final Stage]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdCHk999BzI GBA version]]) is a slow-paced threatening song that leaves you in anticipation of the Wily fight ahead.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtCdhVJNtEM "Binetsu" by Bereeve]], the theme song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgNIxTV5OtA for the commercial.]] Say what you will, but this might be a contender for [[RatedMForManly manliest]] song in all of Mega Man.

[[AC:Mega Man I-V]]
* Aside from the Wily Base mentioned above (remixed into Enker's theme in ''10''), the first GB game has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArqPzMZJVg4 Wily Station]].
* Regardless of what you think about the game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs_uIiAZhXE Air Man's theme]] from [[VideoGame/MegaManII the second game]] sounds really good, despite the high pitch.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGdRat13ZOU Wily Marine Fortress]] theme of ''Mega Man III'' definitely has an epic vibe to it.
* From ''Mega Man III'', this has ''got'' to be one of the best [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK-mY3SEWuw Weapon Get]] themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXo_Ka1v6vs Wily Battle]] from ''Mega Man IV'' is so awesome, as is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9TK4jU4cxs the theme for the first four bosses]], an intense remix of the regular MM4 boss theme.
* ''Mega Man IV'' proves that it's no slouch when it comes to original music with its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTqvdSakg-4 Title Theme.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DACqY11nnGw Wily Station]] from ''Mega Man IV''.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5EUy-mrTek stage select]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAKKt1lY1z4 title screen]] from ''V''.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKfkmIBywg8 Stage Start]] theme in ''V''.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOvyNDizY1M Space Rush]] and[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b5RMt7U4HU Wily Star]] from ''V''.
* [[https://youtu.be/qeaxTwhY1W0 Sunstar’s boss theme]] is one of the most rocking tracks on the original UsefulNotes/GameBoy. It’s an intense and climactic track that perfectly complements the battle against one of the strongest Robot Masters in the franchise.
%%* The Stardroids received some pretty sweet tunes:
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRpYimpxZD4 Terra's theme]]. 'Tis a shame he jobs when you face him.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK4m_9jTmL4 Mercury Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq-7dFjjL_Y Venus Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Ze9Apt1rQ Mars Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-LGiapYiS8 Jupiter Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kJKb5lyfpM Uranus Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrBuG1Py5GY Saturn Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JpHmlr1VIo Neptune Stage]].
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzHymbsvP3k Pluto Stage]].
%%* The DummiedOut [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8WZg2pGZhQ song]] from ''Mega Man V/Rockman World 5''.

[[AC:Mega Man: The Power Fighters/The Power Battle]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7-TNqqVTSg The Slash Man remix]] from ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'' is pretty darn catchy.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D18Il8jFpYs Midboss Battle]] from ''The Power Battle'', which was reused for the Yellow Devil in the sequel and as a replacement track for Wily's stage in the original ''Mega Man''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-S5IKkf0Q0 Bass Theme]] from the credits to Power Fighters is probably the best rendition of his theme yet.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYv1tawQmUI The second part of the Blue Bomber's ending theme]]. Of all the remixes on Megaman's theme, this one may be among the most epic.

[[AC:Mega Man Soccer]]
* Proving even the less popular games in the series don't slouch on the music is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiNF4rUL_DY Wood Man's Theme.]]

[[AC:Mega Man: Battle & Chase]]
* The opening, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed-GRY889ps "Over The Top"]]. Even if it's just a kart game, it's a Mega Man game; it has to open with epic music! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGMGlndKB70 An equally epic remix]] is also available when you win a race with Mega Man.
* Roll's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnFPtbD60_o "Wind, Carry My Words"]] ("Kaze Yo Tsutaete" in Japanese). It's so pretty and catchy! Gotta love her!
* Quick Man's theme, [[https://youtu.be/F_ro8myLCZA "Through The Air"]], is seriously upbeat and enjoyable -- with a nice jazz bridge between an epic overarcing rock guitar/organ riff -- and overall gives an epic sense of speed. Certainly befitting of the fastest Robot Master around!
