History VideoGame / MegaManPoweredUp

* FunnySchizophrenia: Ice Man, when evil, seems to grapple with this. Normally he's a dutiful military bot. When evil, a ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Private]]'' part of him seems reluctant to fight you, but it's fought off by a more ''[[IncrediblyLamePun General]]'' refusal to deviate from the mission. [[GeneralRipper Which mostly involves shooting you.]]

* LetsPlay: One is done by LetsPlay/AzureBlade49. Another is done by LetsPlay/ClementJ642.

* CloningBlues: Copy Robot can copy everyone can in story mode, including [[StealthPun Proto Man]].

%%* CloningBlues: Done in everybody's story mode, and can also be done ''literally''.

Suffice to say, the game received much acclaim when it was released, the game flopped in sales, axing any plans to release further remakes of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] Mega Man games.

* HundredPercentCompletion: To get this in your New Style Mode file, you'd have to clear ''every'' stage on ''every'' difficulty as ''every'' character! There are also Construction Packs to collect in order to expand the Construction Mode (which only appear on Normal or Hard).

* CloningBlues: Done in everybody's story mode, and can also be done ''literally''.

* BadassBaritone: Proto Man is strangely voiced this way.

* MythologyGag: There was also an Oil Man in the infamous ''[[CanonDiscontinuity Mega Man 3 (DOS)]]'' for the PC.

** Plenty to [[WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears the old Ruby-Spears TV Show]], such as an evil Robot in a scarf trying to tempt the good guys into joining Dr. Wily.

*** In Hard Mode, Time Man gains the ability to dodge most projectiles that don't directly hit his head (sans the Thunder Beam) [[BulletTime while time is slowed down]]. [[Franchise/TheMatrix Sound]] [[VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe familiar]]?

Suffice to say, the game received much acclaim when it was released, but due to a combination of the PSP getting off to a slow start, as well as fans being alienated by the chibi art style, the game flopped in sales, axing any plans to release further remakes of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] Mega Man games.

** Plenty to [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan the old Ruby-Spears TV Show]], such as an evil Robot in a scarf trying to tempt the good guys into joining Dr. Wily.

* DepravedBisexual: In addition to his PsychoElectro traits, Elec Man has several IncestIsRelative moments with his brothers and Roll.

* EvilCounterpart: The Evil Clone from the first game returns, but it's the robot you play as that's copied, and, oddly, their personalities are completely different from the ones they've been created from; an example would be that Ice Man's doesn't have FunnySchizophrenia, Proto Man's seems more carefree and less self-conscious, and Elec Man's counterpart has less IncestIsRelative moments, as well as not having the ridiculously conceited voice that the ''real'' one has.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Oil Man's color scheme was changed for international versions.

--> '''Bomb Man''': ''Dr. Wily!'' You no good rotten -- [[{{Angrish}} grunts in frustration]] I'm at the end of my fuse! Prepare for the blast!

--> '''Bomb Man''': ''Dr. Wily!'' You no good rotten -- [[{Angrish}} grunts in frustration]] I'm at the end of my fuse! Prepare for the blast!

* ScarfOfAsskicking: Proto Man again. Oil Man also has a scarf, and his dialogue with Proto Man has him bragging about both of them having scarves. An additional thing to note is that Oil Man's scarf is later used in the [[ComicBook/MegaMan Archie Comics]] adaptation to hide the UncleTomfoolery concepts.

-->'''Yellow Devil:''' Bumo... Bumomomo! Bumomo Bumomomomo Bumo!\\
'''Ice Man:''' Hmm, hmm, I see... But I also have my own mission... I can not allow you to derail me.

* RageBreakingPoint: BombMan claims that he crossed this before he and Wily square off for the Final Battle.
--> '''BombMan''': ''Dr. Wily!'' You no good rotten -- [=[=][[{Angrish}} grunts in frustration[=]=] I'm at the end of my fuse! Prepare for the blast!

* WholesomeCrossdresser: The Copy Robot has no problem wearing the dress that Roll (instead of a genderbent version of her outfit) had when he copies her form.

** Elec Man, while still being conceited, seems to respect Fire Man and isn't condescending to him like he is to other Robot Masters. He respects how much power he puts out in terms of Watts, which is a case of Fridge Brilliance and ShownTheirWork.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Oil Man's color scheme was changed when brought out of Japan.

** Mega Man 8: Roll "Cute, huh? I really love this outfit! The big buttons are just adorable!"

* FreudianExcuse: The reason Time Man's such an arrogant prick is because of self-esteem issues involving his status as an unfinished robot.

* LargeHam: Elec Man has traits of this.

* {{Retraux}}: You can download scenery packs of the original NES stages for the Construction Packs, even NES versions of Time Man and Oil Man's stages! (Unfortunately, no NES renditions of the Time Man and Oil Man songs play in these stages.)

* ShoutOut: Plenty to [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan the old Ruby-Spears TV Show]], such as an evil Robot in a scarf trying to tempt the good guys into joining Dr. Wily.

* SmugSuper: Elec Man has traits of ''this'' too.
-->'''Elec Man:''' I win, naturally.

** CameBackWrong: All of the Robot Masters you face in Castle Wily have off colour palettes, have different, noticeably glitched voice quotes during battle, have Wily's logo in their health bars instead of their mugshots, and there are no bits of dialogue before those fights. When creating one's own stages, if the player is playing as a Robot Master and ''that'' paticular Robot Master is also the boss set for the stage, then the boss will have the same off colour palette and Wily logo as the refight in Castle Wily.

* DownloadableContent: From Roll to her costumes.

** Roll:
--> This helper robot swings weapons to attack!
** Mega Man 8 Roll
--> "Cute, huh? I really love this outfit! The big buttons are just adorable!"
** Sports Roll
--> "1, 2, 3, go! I may not look it, but I can run really fast!
** Knight Roll
--> "Cool, huh? With this, I'm not afraid of Dr. Wily, [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins ghouls, or even ghosts]]!"
** Rainy Day Roll
--> "Who says rainy days have to be boring? Forget board games! I'm ready to rock!"
** Straw Roll
--> "This outfit's perfect for summer! No one gets away from me!"
** Vacation Roll
--> "It's great to get away from the grind and while away the hours on the beach!"
** Summer Roll
--> "Bad kids better watch out for me! I'll teach 'em a lesson!"
** Halloween Roll
--> "Trick or treat! Smell my feet! Just kidding, silly! Robot feet don't smell!"
** Alley Cat Roll
--> "Little kitties might look adorable, but don't forget they have sharp claws!"
** Roll Claus
--> "Merry Christmas! What did you ask for this year? I hope you've been good!"
** Ninja Roll
--> "Ninja style! I may be a ninja, but I don't hide! I run straight into battle!"
** Valentine Roll:
--> "Happy Valentine's Day! I wonder if my secret crush is obvious? Tee hee hee..."

** Time Man's stage is rife with time puns. For one, the whole stage is basically an obstacle course in ''timing,'' including several sections where you have to navigate past a series of ''time'' bombs.
** Gutsman is vulnerable to Time Man's weapon because he's the only Robot Master whose job is to make sure the work gets done on ''time''.
** Gutsman's stage includes several unnerving sections where you're riding a tiny conveyer across a bottomless pit, jumping to avoid being dumped into it, then having to make a tricky jump off the conveyer to reach solid ground. These are naturally the portions of the stage that demand the most ''guts'' to navigate.

--> "Cool, huh? With this, I'm not afraid of Dr. Wily, [[VideoGame/GhostsAndGoblins ghouls, or even ghosts]]!"
