4 | ''Rockmen R: Dr. Wily's Counterattack'' (ロックメン R: Dr.ワイリーの逆襲) is a Japanese [[DoujinSoft doujin game]] for Windows PC done in 16-bit graphics and released by Capricorn on January of 2009. It is a fangame based on ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'' (a.k.a. ''Rockman'' in Japan) that stars Rock's sister, Roll, and features a unique cast of Robot Masters as well as a new Robot Master named Piano. |

6 | The developers unfortunately met with a cease-and-desist by Creator/{{Capcom}}, thus making it virtually impossible to buy the game anywhere, but eventually the game managed to get enough coverage and [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes spread]] across the internet. |

8 | Capricorn later went on to make another ''Mega Man''-styled game on May of 2013 called ''Touhou Rock Maiden'', a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fangame staring [[{{Miko}} Reimu Hakurei]]. Despite having dealt with the cease-and-desist by Capcom and the original game being taken down, Capcricorn went on to develop a sequel, ''Rockmen R2: Dr. Wily's Return'' (ROCKMEN R2 Dr.ワ○リーの再起!!), which was released in late 2018 during Winter Comiket 95 and digitally via the [[https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ241785.html Japanese]] Platform/{{DLsite}} on January 5, 2019 and [=DLsite=]'s [[https://www.dlsite.com/eng/work/=/product_id/RE241785.html English]] version on July 19, 2020. |

11 | !!Rockmen R features examples of: |
12 | %%* ActionGirl: Roll. |
13 | %%** DarkActionGirl: Piano. |
14 | * ArmCannon: One of the few pieces of ''Rockman'' media to depict Roll with a functional arm cannon, alongside the 2008 mobile port of the original ''[[Videogame/MegaMan1 Mega Man]]''. |
15 | * ArtEvolution: The sequel features vastly improved visuals over its predecessor and a softer artstyle. |
16 | * AscendedExtra: Roll as the main character. |
17 | * BigFancyCastle: Waltz Man's stage. |
18 | * BeamSpam: Laser Man performs this often enough. |
19 | * BottomlessPit: A number of them through out the game, including Rapid Man stage, Weasel Man's stage, and Wily's Castle Stage 3. |
20 | * CreepyDoll: Puppet Man and his Roll-dolls, not to mention his teddy bear bombs. |
21 | * DistressedDude: Rock, he was beaten by Piano and taken captive. |
22 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Roll's color scheme when using Death Waltz evokes this. |
23 | * EternalEngine: Energy Man's level qualifies for this. |
24 | * {{Expy}}: Piano is this to Roll just as Bass is to Rock. |
25 | * FanSequel: To ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' originally. |
26 | * HardLevelsEasyBosses: Puppet Man's stage is a little more difficult then he actually is to beat. Rapid Man has the same problem, his stage is challenging but his actual fight is fairly simple. |
27 | * KaleidoscopeHair[=/=]PowerDyesYourHair: Roll's hair color changes depending on which weapon she uses: |
28 | ** Sonic Boomerang: Turquoise hair |
29 | ** Death Waltz: Light blonde |
30 | ** Flare Shot: Hot pink hair |
31 | ** Bullet Strike: Orange hair |
32 | ** Puppet Bomb: Purple hair |
33 | ** Thunder Wheel: Indigo hair |
34 | ** Laser Wave: Cyan hair |
35 | ** Immortal Stone: Gray hair |
36 | * KillHimAlready: Shockingly averted at the end, as Roll decides to do this to Dr. Wily. Until he reminds her of the [[ThreeLawsCompliant First Law]]. [[spoiler:However, it just turns out to be a robotic copy of him.]] |
37 | * MirrorBoss: [[spoiler:Mega Man.]] |
38 | * MirrorMatch: Your first time fighting Piano in the intro stage. |
39 | * MissingSecret: In the weapons menu, there's an empty space between Immortal Stone and Rush Coil. |
40 | * MusicalAssassin: Waltz Man along with his sonic-based Death Waltz. |
41 | * NintendoHard: Its a difficult game if your ill-prepared for it. |
42 | * PlayingWithFire: Flare Man takes the cake on this one. |
43 | * PasswordSave: This game uses a password save system like in the classic ''Mega Man'' games. |
44 | * RecurringBoss: Piano's role in ''Rockmen R'' is similar to that of Bass for Mega Man. |
45 | * ShiftingSandLand: Averted to a point with Rapid Man's level, its more like Cliff-Oasis-Gully type area. Justified as his level takes place in Australia's outback. |
46 | * SpaceLevel: Laser Man's level looks like this. |
47 | * SpikesOfDoom: Shockingly very few and far in between but still there. |
48 | * WarmUpBoss: Piano in the intro stage. |
49 | * {{Youkai}}: Weasel Man is based on the kamaitachi, a weasel youkai with sickle-like nails that rides dust devils. |
