Mega Man's first appearance in first-party ''Super Mario''-related media is as a playable guest character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', as well as the third third-party character to be confirmed as a playable character in the series.

 

Much of Mega Man's moveset is based around the special weapons (referred to as the "Variable Weapon System") obtainable from the various Robot Masters in the classic ''Mega Man'' series.<ref name="Developer Direct">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ#aid=P-_6kKFPkbY YouTube - Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013]</ref> His special moves include [[#Metal Blade|Metal Blade]], [[#Crash Bomber|Crash Bomber]], and [[#Leaf Shield|Leaf Shield]] from ''Mega Man 2'' as his standard special, side special, and down special respectively, and [[#Rush Coil|Rush Coil]] from ''Mega Man 3'' as his up special. His dash attack is the Top Spin, a move from ''Mega Man 3'' which can hit multiple times. His up smash is the Spark Shock and his down smash is the Flame Blast, from ''Mega Man 3'' and ''Mega Man 6'', respectively. His aerial attacks include Slash Claw from ''Mega Man 7'' as his back air, Flame Sword from ''Mega Man 8'' as his front air, Air Shooter from ''Mega Man 2'' as his up air which sends a tornado into the air that pushes opponents up, and Hard Knuckle from ''Mega Man 3'' as his down air which acts as a meteor smash. His grab is the Super Arm from the original ''Mega Man''. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Mega Legends|Mega Legends]], which involves the other incarnations of the Mega Man character appearing alongside this one to blast opponents all at once.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Mega Man (SSBU)}}

Mega Man returns as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His Final Smash now incorporates Proto Man and Bass, but otherwise functions the same as before. His Mega Buster can fire farther than the previous installment, improving some of his moves.  

 

Mega Man benefits from universal changes: his mobility is faster, his short hop timing is reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, he can directionally air dodge, and he can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on a ladder.

 

 

'''{{fandom|megaman|Metal Blade}}''' is Mega Man's standard special move, originating from ''{{wp|Mega Man 2}}'' as the weapon obtained by defeating {{fandom|megaman|Metal Man}}. When used, Mega Man throws a metal sawblade that deals little damage at opponents. Like the game of origin the Metal Blade can be thrown in eight directions by tapping the control stick in the corresponding direction after pressing the special attack button, but only one can be thrown at a time. The Metal Blade also acts like an item in that other players can pick up and throw a Metal Blade.

The first custom variant for this move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' is '''{{fandom|megaman|Hyper Bomb}}''', {{fandom|megaman|Bomb Man}}'s weapon in the original ''{{wp|Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man}}''. When used, Mega Man throws a bomb at an arc in the direction he is facing that damages opponents on contact, and explodes as soon as it hits ground. The second variant is '''{{fandom|megaman|Shadow Blade}}''', {{fandom|megaman|Shadow Man}}'s weapon from ''{{wp|Mega Man 3}}''. Mega Man throws a shuriken at opponents that travels a set distance before returning to him, allowing for multiple hits; while it can be thrown in eight directions, it cannot be picked up by opponents, as the Shadow Blade disappears as soon as it hits a wall or the ground.

[[File:SSBU Crash Bomber.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Crash Bomber in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''{{fandom|megaman|Crash Bomber}}''' is Mega Man's side special move. Originally {{fandom|megaman|Crash Man}}'s weapon from ''Mega Man 2'', it can be used by holding the control stick to the sides and pressing the special attack button. When used, Mega Man fires a bomb that travels across the screen. When it hits an opponent or a wall, it behaves like a [[Gooey Bomb]], sticking to them for a few seconds before detonating; it can also be passed to other players by running into them. Mega Man can only shoot one Crash Bomber at a time.

 

The first of Mega Man's custom versions of this move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' is '''{{fandom|megaman|Ice Slasher}}''', {{fandom|megaman|Ice Man}}'s weapon from the original ''Mega Man''. When used, Mega Man shoots an ice projectile across the screen that can freeze opponents. The other variant of this move is '''{{fandom|megaman|Danger Wrap}}''', {{fandom|megaman|Burst Man}}'s weapon from ''{{wp|Mega Man 7}}'', which has Mega Man fire a bomb inside a bubble that arcs up after firing.

[[File:Mega Man Rush Coil Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Rush Coil in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]

'''{{fandom|megaman|Rush Coil}}''' is Mega Man's up special move. First appearing as one of {{fandom|megaman|Rush}}'s abilities in ''Mega Man 3'', it has since become a staple throughout the classic ''Mega Man'' series. When used, Mega Man summons Rush to launch him into the air using a spring on his back. If Rush is summoned on the ground, Mega Man can spring off of him a second time for a second, higher jump; however, other fighters may also jump on Rush while he is summoned.

 

 

[[File:Mega Man Leaf Shield Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Leaf Shield in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Leaf Shield}}

'''{{fandom|megaman|Leaf Shield}}''' is Mega Man's down special move, originally appearing as {{fandom|megaman|Wood Man}}'s special weapon in ''Mega Man 2''. When used, Mega Man creates a barrier of four leaves around himself that can protect him for a limited time. Like in the game of origin, Mega Man can also throw the shield to attack opponents. When the barrier is attacked, the leaves disappear one at a time.

 

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant of this move is '''{{fandom|megaman|Skull Barrier}}''', {{fandom|megaman|Skull Man}}'s special weapon in ''{{wp|Mega Man 4}}''. When this move is used, Mega Man creates a barrier of flaming skulls that reflect projectiles, though the barrier does not last as long. The second variant is '''{{fandom|megaman|Plant Barrier}}''', the weapon obtained from {{fandom|megaman|Plant Man}} in ''{{wp|Mega Man 6}}''; Mega Man creates a barrier of petals around him that provide greater defense, though it does not travel as far when thrown.

====Final Smash====

[[File:SSBU Mega Legends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Mega Legends in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Mega Legends''' is Mega Man's [[Final Smash]]. After breaking a [[Smash Ball]] and activating the Final Smash, Mega Man fires a {{fandom|megaman|Black Hole Bomb}}, {{fandom|megaman|Galaxy Man}}'s weapon from ''{{wp|Mega Man 9}}'', which travels across the screen and opens automatically once it reaches a short distance. The Black Hole is wide and draws in opponents, but if no opponents are in range, the attack fails. The trapped opponents are brought to a cutscene where Mega Man, {{fandom|megaman|Mega Man X (character)|Mega Man X}}, {{fandom|megaman|Mega Man Volnutt|MegaMan Volnutt}}, {{fandom|megaman|MegaMan.EXE}}, and {{fandom|megaman|Star Force Mega Man}} fire a continuous stream of lasers at the opponents, dealing massive damage. At the end of the attack, the opponents are launched and Mega Man returns to the battlefield. Additionally, if the opponents have taken enough damage, the Black Hole launches them instantly without going through the cutscene.

 

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', {{fandom|megaman|Proto Man}} and {{fandom|megaman|Bass}} join the group for the Final Smash.
