Mega Man Shattered Diamond (Mega Man SD for short) is a Mega Man fan game under development by Team Circadia, made in Game Maker Studio 1.4 using a modified version of WreckingPrograms' Mega Engine. The team has their own dev blog, a YouTube channel, and can be contacted on Discord.

Two particularly talented scientists present a crystallized energy source referred to as "Visnium" to help prevent an incoming energy crisis, only for them and their energy diamond to suddenly get stolen away by Dr. Wily! Dr. Wily then proceeds to use the diamond to power up his robot army and the scientists' forcibly reprogrammed Robot Masters for world conquest. Once again, Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass, as well as Roll, must stop a new threat from the megalomaniacal genius.


The game features examples of the following tropes:

  • Adaptational Badass: Roll, who remains in her housekeeper garb during battle, like in Mega Man Powered Up and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. The gameplay footage shows that she can perform close-ranged broom strikes similarly to Zero, and she has a new boomerang move that can be charged up for her broom.
  • Animal Motifs: Jungle Man is basically a robot monkey who even acts like a monkey.
  • Everything Fades: The gameplay footage shows destroyed objects completely disappearing from existence as soon a brief explosion effect fades.
  • Flash of Pain: The gameplay footage shows the player character flashing white for a few seconds after getting hit.
  • Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Inverted with regards to the playable characters. While Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass all use primarily ranged attacks, the sole female playable character, Roll, primarily uses melee attacks.
  • Shield-Bearing Mook: One of the enemies seen in the gameplay footage carries a shield, and covers himself with it whenever he's not firing his blaster. However, sustained direct hits to the shield make him drop it, rendering him vulnerable.
  • Spread Shot:
    • The Switch Spark explodes into a plus shape of four smaller ground- and wall- crawling sparks upon impact.
    • The series' Mascot Mook Metools are present in the game and they fire their usual triple spread of shots.
