Mega Man is the protagonist of a famous video game series of the same name. He also made appearances in the Mario series, but only in the Club Nintendo comics.
In 1992, he was introduced in "Super Mario: Die Bescherung". In this comic, he joins Mario and Luigi's Christmas party, without affecting the story in any way. His first and only major appearance was in the 1993 comic "Super Mario: Die Verwandlung", where he served as Dr. Light's assistant. Besides taking care of the doctor and welcoming his visitors, Mega Man also drives the car they use for catching Wario.
After twenty years of not appearing in any Mario-related media, Mega Man was confirmed to be a playable guest character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Mega Man's appearance in this game is based on his appearance in the NES titles, and he has a moveset centered on shooting his opponents; he can use the Mega Buster to fire multiple single shots, or use the Charge Shot as a side smash attack[1]. His only melee attacks are the slide move, making its debut in Mega Man 3, and the Mega Upper, a move introduced in Mega Man: The Power Fighters which later appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom. His recovery is the Rush Coil, a common ability in the Mega Man series that is introduced in Mega Man 3.
He can also use various Robot Master abilities from his series.[2] These include:
- The Super Arm from the original Mega Man as a throw.
- The Metal Blade, which operates similarly to its Mega Man 2 incarnation, though the projectiles can be picked up and thrown.
- The Leaf Shield, also from Mega Man 2.
- The Crash Bomb, also from Mega Man 2, which operates identically to the Gooey Bomb from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- The Top Spin, from Mega Man 3, which is a spinning attack, similar to Meta Knight's Mach Tornado from Brawl.
- The Hard Knuckle as a Meteor Smash and can be fired as a projectile just like in Mega Man 3.
- The Spark Shock and Flame Blast, from Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 6 respectively, uniquely utilize both Mega Busters in Mega Man's arms though using either one will actually cause his Mega Busters to open up and vent out excess heat.
- The Slash Claw from Mega Man 7 and the Flame Sword from Mega Man 8.
