16
17!!Examples:
18* AntiFrustrationFeatures: You can save in between Fortress stages.
19* BarrierWarrior: Zap Man, with his Zap Barrier.
20* BattleBoomerang: Leaf Man's weapon, the Leaf Boomerang. If it hits an enemy, it will stay in place dealing multiple hits, and it can also retrieve items (though E-tanks and the special letters are not retrieveable).
21* BigBoosHaunt: Trash Man's stage, being a [[DownInTheDumps junkyard]], plays this up, with floating skull robots, bubble bat enemies, moody depressing music with actual "gravestones" of robots placed about in the level. The gravestones are actually of robot masters from Mr. Weird's abandoned attempt at a fan game, but one of them is NotQuiteDead, and breaks out of his "grave" to be the stage mid-boss.
22* BlahBlahBlah: When Mega Man gets suspicious of Dr. Wily's involvement in the crisis, Wily responds, "Okay, fine. Bwahaha, I'm evil and want to rule the world. Et cetera, et cetera."
23* BleakLevel: Trash Man's Stage. A literal robot graveyard in the rain.
24* BossRemix: Proto Man's battle theme is remixed from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'''s title screen music by speeding it up.
25* BossRush: As per tradition in ''Franchise/MegaMan'' games.
26* BottomlessPits: All over the place, but sometimes averted in Wizard Man's stage where falling down some of the pits with down arrows above them will drop you through the ceiling.
27* CallBack:
28** The plot is a call-back to ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'', with Proto Man painted as the BigBad in the opening story.
29** Some of the weapons are very reminiscent of other classic weapons. Trash Attack is [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Power Stone]] turned up to eleven (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".
30** [[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]].]]
31** 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.
32* CrosshairAware: In the second fortress stage, a crosshair will appear on Mega Man and something off-screen will shoot at him.
33* {{Cyberspace}}: Dagger Man's level takes place in this.
34* DarkReprise: The music of the final stage is a slower and more ominous version of the title screen music from ''VideoGame/MegaMan2''.
35* DeathRay: The third fortress stage has these, although they're not instant death like [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Quick Man's]].
36* DeathTrap: Quite a few of them.
37* DeflectorShields: Zap Barrier.
38* DoubleJump: By using Trash Attack in the air.
39* DownInTheDumps: Trash Man's Stage. Overlaps with BigBoosHaunt and BleakLevel.
40* EasierThanEasy: Two difficulty settings, Easiest and Easier, below Easy.
41* 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 there's something fishy about the whole business from the beginning.
42* FireIceLightning: Three of the enemies in Wizard Man's stage are a red cloaked mage that teleports and shoots a spread of fireballs, a blue floating staff that causes ice crystals to rain down, and a robed purple mage that calls down aimed lightning bolts.
43* FreezeFrameBonus: [[spoiler:Occasionally, the pattern of lights on the flashing screens at the beginning of Dagger Man's level briefly form a backwards version of Dr. Wily's "W" logo, [[{{Foreshadowing}} suggesting that Wily is more involved than he claims]]. As if ''that'' part needed a spoiler.]]
44* FunWithAcronyms:
45** One of the enemies in the fourth fortress stage is listed in the credits as a T.N.A.T., which stands for "Totally Not A [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Thwomp]]".
46** Also applies to the second fortress boss, the U.F.O. (Unrelenting Fighting Obliterator).
47* GunsAkimbo: Coal Man has guns that shoot fireballs replacing his hands.
48* GravityScrew: In the fourth fortress stage, the gravity will fluctuate between normal, 0.5 (water/space physics), and 2.0 (low jumping ability).
49* GreenThumb: Leaf Man.
50* HarderThanHard: Insane mode, only unlocked by beating the game on Hard.
51* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:Proto Man was brainwashed by Dr. Wily the whole time. Not even Mega Man is really surprised this time]].
52* HomingProjectile: Wizard Man's weapon, the Magic Missile. Which, in D&D, [[FridgeBrilliance can't be dodged]]!
53* InvincibilityPowerUp: Zap Man's Weapon, the Zap Barrier functions as this. Giving Mega Man a brief period of invincibility for a short while against enemies and obstacles, including ''spikes''.
54* JokeItem: The Hair Dye item in the shop. [[spoiler:It just changes the color of Dr. Light's hair and beard.]]
55* KingMook: Splashmo Prime, to Splashmo.
56* 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.
57* LogicalWeakness: As is sometimes done with other Robot Masters.
58** Soak Man is weak to the Zap Barrier, since water conducts electricity.
59** Soak Rain is effective against Coal Man, extinguishing his flames.
60** Leaf Boomerang is effective against Zap Man because leaves are not conductive.
61** Despite what you think, Coal Barrage doesn't follow the logic of "fire burns trees", hence it's not Leaf Man's weakness. However, Trash Man is vulnerable because trash is often thrown into incinerators.
62** Instead, Leaf Man is weak to Axe Man's weapon because sharp blades are used to cut plants and trees, and axes are the favored tools of lumberjacks.
63** 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. That, and Magic Missile homes in on him, making his teleportation ability useless.
64* MagicVersusScience: Likely the reason why Dagger Man's weakness is Magic Missile, since his level and abilities are cyberspace-based.
65* MakingASplash: Soak Man. You can get his weapon, Soak Rain.
66* MythologyGag: Trash Man's level contains tombstones of various robot masters from the creator's (unfinished) first attempt at making a Megaman game. The miniboss, Battery Man, is also one of them.
67** The title, of course, is a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' cartoon, and the stage select music (and part of the intro sequence's music) is a nod to the same.
68** 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.
69*** 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.
70* {{Not}}: What Dr. Wily says after doing his usual begging for forgiveness.
71* NotQuiteDead: One of the abandoned robot masters (Battery Man) in Trash Man's Stage is the mid boss, and he's none too pleased about his premature burial.
72* OneHitPointWonder: One of the cheats unlocked from one of the collectible [=CDs=] in a second playthrough can turn Mega Man into this.
73* OptionalBoss: By beating the game in certain ways, you can unlock five optional bosses, accessible through the "Special" menu:
74** [[spoiler:Bass]]: Unlocked by beating the game on Hard mode.
75** [[spoiler:VideoGame/ShovelKnight]]: Unlocked by beating the game with over 1,000 screws in reserve.
76** [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaI Simon Belmont]]]]: Unlocked by beating the game with no upgrades.
77** [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Red Mage]]]]: Unlocked by beating the game with all the upgrades.
78** [[spoiler:Dr. Light]]: Unlocked by beating the game on [[HarderThanHard Insane]] mode.
79* OriginalFlavor: Played with, to amusing results. The game design, graphic design, sound design, etc, are all very true to the Capcom games, rivaling VideoGame/MegaManUnlimited in that regard. But the BetterThanABareBulb writing and crossover materials used in the extras gleefully revel in the games fangame origins.
80* PlayingWithFire: Coal Man. You can get his weapon, Coal Barrage.
81* PrecisionFStrike: Upon defeating Proto Man, the first thing he says is, "Damn!" As for C-137 Mode, given [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty what it's based on]], Rick Sanchez has the words "ass", "asshole" (said twice) and even "shit" in his dialogue lexicon.
82* SarcasticConfession: [[spoiler:When Mega Man accuses Wily of being the one truly behind this (pre-fortress), Wily responds in a sarcastic tone that yes, [[EvilLaugh muahaha]], he's evil and trying to take over the world, et cetera, et cetera, before asking the heroes' help. Even after all that, Mega Man doesn't really seem to believe Wily is innocent, but goes anyway because Proto Man is there and has to be stopped.]]
83* ShockAndAwe: Zap Man.
84* ShoutOut:
85** One of the bonus collectible [=CDs=] in a second playthrough unlocks "[[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty C-137]] Mode", where you "Play as everyone's favorite alcoholic scientist".
86** Axe Man's weapon, Giant Axe, is pretty much the axe subweapon from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaI''. His stage is also very reminiscent of Metal Man's, what with the color scheme, conveyor belts, gear enemies, and the moles.
87** At the beginning of his boss fight, Wizard Man seems to be casting [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Arcane Brilliance]] on himself. His damaging spells seem also to be from the mage spell classes used in [=WoW=]--fire, frost, and arcane.
88** The crosshairs in the second fortress stage is possibly a ShoutOut to the "Krack-Shot Kroc" level from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble'', though [[LetsPlay/RoahmMythril at least one LPer]] also compared it to [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork SearchMan.EXE]] from ''Battle Network 4''.
89* TemporaryPlatform: The Yoku blocks in Wizard Man's stage.
90* TrickBoss: [[spoiler:Proto Man. This isn't supposed to be a spoiler at all, but he's not the final boss, Wily is.]]
91* WackySoundEffect: The Doot Doot bonus option does this to your uncharged Mega Buster shots.
92* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Done with the Robot Masters at the end of the game. In the case of Trash Man, however, it's more like "Where Was He Then?", as his segment takes place during the destruction of Wily's latest fortress.
93* WorthlessYellowRocks: During the aforementioned ending, Coal Man attempts to find more coal and is unconcerned with the large amount of diamonds he uncovered in the process.
