A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6474doDSXJo third title]] featuring the ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' Robot Masters against [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Cossack's Robots]] was in development, but [[DevelopmentHell has had no further updates or news following the v0.2 demo release]].

* GreenThumb[=/=]PetalPower:

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: In all the games, it's visibly obvious that the level you're in is heavily designed around the abilities of your Robot Master, to the point that if they tried to run someone else's stage, it'd likely be {{Unwinnable}}.

* TheBigGuy: Guts Man, given he's one of the good guys.

* BadassInDistress: The plot of the first and second game.

* BlowYouAway: Air Man.

* SequentialBoss: Wily Saucer.

The game also comes with a sequel, ''Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight 2'', which follows a similar premise to its predecessor. This time, a virus has infected all of the robots and has shut down Mega Man. However, Dr. Light stored Dr. Wily's eight robots that were fought in the first game and they were immune to the virus. Dr. Light sent them against Dr. Wily's current Robot Masters. Each one of them is assigned a Robot Master. However, unlike its predecessor, defeating each Robot Master unlocks that corresponding Robot Master, allowing them to be played in other stages. For example, Air Man plays in Snake Man's stage, but after defeating Snake Man, Air Man can be played in any other stage. It is necessary to play as the Robot Master in these stages to play with some of the gimmicks involved. Also, there are these items, well as a [[LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} certain goofy Let's Player]] has worded it, Squiggly Things, that are hidden throughout the first 12 stages (including the Doc Robot stages). When all of them are collected, Dr. Light will give you a secret weapon.

All tropes present in ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' and ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' are present in the respective games, unless if mechanics change otherwise.

A [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6474doDSXJo third title]] featuring the [=MM3=] Robot Masters against Cossack's Robots is currently in development.

** Flash Man fights Top Man because Top Man moves fast like Quick Man, whose weakness is Flash Man's weapon.

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'', Gamma was an ''AntiClimaxBoss''. In the second game of this series, not so much. It takes the combined effort of all eight of Megaman 2's Robot Masters to bring him down.

* BadassInDistress: The plot of the game.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Almost all of the matchups have this kind of mentality, be it against you or the robot masters.

* {{Nerf}}: Metal Man's weapon is much slower and doesn't go through walls.

* PuzzleBoss: During the Wily Saucer boss phase where you play as Elec Man, you have to [[spoiler:align the cannon to where it fires at the Wily Saucer.]]
** [[spoiler:In the 2nd game, you have to figure out which robot can damage each phase of the FinalBoss. There are 8 phases, one for each robot, and after you complete a phase, the robot you used to complete it is abducted and can't be used again for the rest of the fight.]]

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Magnets will attract all robots... except for Wood Man.
* TookALevelInBadass: Gamma in the second game. In ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' he was an ''AntiClimaxBoss'', but not anymore.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Almost all of the matchups have this kind of mentality, be it against you or the enemies.

** Ice Man fights Heat Man because of ice beating out fire. On an inversion, ice is generally weak to fire.
** Bomb Man fights Quick Man because Quick Man's weakness is bombs.
** Fire Man fights Air Man because wind blows out fire.
** Elec Man fights Metal Man because metal conducts electricity. On an inversion, Elec Man's weakness is a flying, spinning blade.
** Metal Man fights Needle Man because their weapons are made of the same material. And anybody knows what happens when you [[OneHitKill fight Metal Man with his own weapon...]]
** Bubble Man fights Gemini Man because Gemini Man uses his twin as an illusion. Bubble Man's weapon is the only one that can damage the hologram projector in the final level of the original second game.
** Quick Man fights Shadow Man because the Quick Boomerang beats Metal Man. Some can say that Shadow Man (and his weapon) is a {{nerf}}ed version of Metal Man.
*** It goes further. Both Quick Man and Top Man could be considered "speed" types. Top defeats Shadow Man, and so does the speedster!
** Crash Man fights Hard Man because bombs blow up boulders (again).
** Flash Man fights Top Man because Top Man moves fast like Quick Man.
** Heat Man fights Magnet Man because heat is one of the elements that can reduce magnet's magnetism.
** Wood Man fights Spark Man because wood is not conductive.
* ExcusePlot: Just like any other Mega Man game.
* ExtraOreDinary: Cut Man and Metal Man.
* FinalExamBoss: It takes all the playable characters to beat Wily.
* FragileSpeedster: In the second game, Quick Man is fast and has a great jump, but he gets less MercyInvincibility upon being hit by an attack than the others.
* GreenThumb / PetalPower: Wood Man and his leaf shield. With added metal leaves that Cut Man can't cut!
** In the sequel, Wood Man can block out certain electrical lasers by sticking leaves in them.
* AnIcePerson: Ice Man uses this trope as a weapon.

* DualBoss: Bubble Man and Flash Man.
