History VideoGame / MegaManSuperFightingRobot

* SFR-006: Axe Man, weak to the Flash Dagger, gives the [[AnAxToGrind Giant Axe]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Axe Man. You can get his weapon, Giant Axe.

** Some of the weapons are very reminiscent of other classic weapons. Trash Attack is [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Power Stone]] turned UpToEleven (or possibly [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Water Shield]]'s shield throw move without the shield itself), and Soak Rain is considered to be "what [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Thunder Wool]] should've been".

* HomingProjectile: Wizard Man's weapon, the Magic Missile.
** Which, in D&D, [[FridgeBrilliance can't be dodged]]!

** The title, of course, is a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon, and the stage select music (and part of the intro sequence's music) is a nod to the same.

* SFR-004: Dagger Man, weak to the Magic Missle, gives the [[KnifeNut Flash Dagger]].

* KnifeNut: Dagger Man.

** The plot is a shout-out to ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'', with Proto Man painted as the BigBad in the opening story.
** The title of the game is a reference to the theme song of the ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon, with an 8-bit remix as the stage select music.

** Dagger Man is pretty much a shout-out to ''VideoGame/MegamanBattleNetwork''. His stage takes place in {{Cyberspace}}, the Swordy enemies makes an appearance there, and in the ending, he's doing a battle routine, 6X3 grids and all.
*** The miniboss of his stage, Crorq 2.0, is quite obviously the upgraded version of the main antagonist from the horrid Mega Man DOS and Mega Man 3 DOS games.

** Some of the weapons are very reminiscent of other classic weapons. Trash Attack is [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Power Stone]] turned UpToEleven (or possibly [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Water Shield]]'s shield throw move without the shield itself), and Soak Rain is considered to be "what [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Thunder Wool]] should've been".
** [[spoiler: The awesome Dr. Light battle. In regular levels of difficulty, his attacks are based off the VideoGame/MegaMan1 Robot Master weapons. On Insane difficulty he combines those attacks with weapons from later games[[note]]Specifically, he combines Rolling Cutter with [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Wheel Cutter]], Super Arm with [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Power Stone]], Ice Slasher with [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Water Wave]], Hyper Bomb with [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Drill Bomb]], Fire Storm with [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Solar Blaze]] and Thunder Beam with [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Plug Ball]][[/note]].]]
** Dr. Wily's escape in this game is reminiscent of his escape in ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''; he disappears into a revolving door in the background. In this case the door isn't visible on the black background, but the animation is the same.

** Soak Rain is effective against Coal Man (extinguishing his flames).

** [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] with Coal Barrage. Despite what you think, it doesn't follow the logic of "fire burns trees", hence it's not Leaf Man's weakness. However, fire ''does'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration burn trash]], so Trash Man will become vulnerable to it. Fire burns trash faster than still-green leaves since green leaves are still somewhat moist, while dried out trash is, well, dry.

However, fire ''does'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration burn Trash (Man)]]. Fire burns trash faster than still-green leaves since green leaves are still somewhat moist, while dried out trash is, well, dry.

* BossRemix: Proto Man's battle theme is remixed from ''VideoGAme/MegaMan5'''s title screen music.

Burns trash faster than still-green leaves since green leaves are still somewhat moist, while dryed out trash is, well, dry.

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to other popular Mega Man fan games (such as ''Unlimited'' and ''Rock Force'', the game's plot is far less serious, acting almost as a parody of ''Mega Man 5'''s plot. The game is also significantly easier than both, acting as a good entry point towards Mega Man fan games.

* TrickBoss: [[spoiler:Proto Man. This isn't supposed to be a spoiler at all, but he's not the final boss.]]

** [[spoiler: The awesome Dr. Light battle. In regular levels of difficulty, he possesses the weapons of the VideoGame/MegaMan1 Robot Masters. On Insane difficulty he includes the weapons of more recent games.]]

* SFR-003: Coal Man, weak to Soak Rain, gives the [[PlayingWithFire Coal Barrage]].

* SFR-001: Leaf Man, weak to the Giant Axe, gives the [[GreenThumb Leaf]] [[BattleBoomerang Boomerang]]
* SFR-002: Zap Man, weak to the Leaf Boomerang, gives the [[ShockAndAwe Zap]] [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Barrier]]
* SFR-003: Coal Man, weak to Soak Rain, gives the [[PlayingWithFire Coal Barrage]]
* SFR-004: Dagger Man, weak to the Magic Missle, gives the [[KnifeNut Flash Dagger]]
* SFR-005: Wizard Man, weak to the Trash Attack, gives the [[MagicMissile Magic]] [[HomingProjectile Missile]]
* SFR-006: Axe Man, weak to the Flash Dagger, gives the [[AnAxToGrind Giant Axe]]
* SFR-007: Soak Man, weak to the Zap Barrier, gives the [[MakingASplash Soak Rain]]
* SFR-008: Trash Man, weak to the Coal Barrage gives the [[ExtraOreDinary Trash ]] [[DoubleJump Attack]]

* SFR-001: Leaf Man, weak to the Giant Axe, gives the [[GreenThumb Leaf Boomerang]]

-----

* LogicalWeakness:

** Dagger Man's weakness to Magic Missile doesn't seem obvious until you realize that his level is Cyberspace. It's a classic MagicVersusScience scenario where Magic disrupts high technology.

* ExcusePlot: The game's plot is basically ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'' (Proto Man is the villain) with hints of ''VideoGame/MegaManUnlimited'' (Wily is a prisoner in his own fortress), and many, many ideas are recycled here. Then again, since ''Mega Man'' games often tend to be a case of PlayTheGameSkipTheStory, that's not necessarily bad. It also helps that Mega Man himself suspects that [[GenreSavvy there's something fishy about the whole business from the beginning]].

* GenreSavvy: At this point, Mega Man has practically SeenItAll. He immediately assumes Wily was behind it all and refuses to believe him when he claims innocence, never really seems to believe Proto Man is the true villain [[spoiler:and the most he can muster when Wily does reveal it was him and goes through the self-destructing fortress routine again is exasperation.]]

* JokeItem: The Hairspray item in the shop. [[spoiler:It just changes the color of Dr. Light's hair and beard.]]

** Instead, Leaf Man is weak to Axe Man's weapon because sharp blades are used to cut plants and trees.

** Some of the weapons are very reminiscent of other classic weapons. Trash Attack is Power Stone turned UpToEleven, and Soak Rain is considered to be "what Thunder Wool should've been".

** The title, of course, is a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon.

* NotQuiteDead: One of the abandoned robot masters in Trash Man's Stage is the mid boss, and he's none too pleased about his premature burial.

** The crosshairs in the second fortress stage is possibly a ShoutOut to the "Krack-Shot Kroc" level from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble''.

* InvincibilityPowerUp: Zap Man's Weapon, the Zap Barrier functions as this. Giving Mega Man a brief period of invincibility for a short while to enemies and obstacles, including ''spikes''.

** Averted with Coal Barrage. Despite what you think, it doesn't follow the logic of "fire burns trees", hence it's not Leaf Man's weakness...
