| [[File:MegaMan.jpg|thumb|left|Mega Man, [[Dr. Light]] and [[Mario]] trying to catch [[Wario]] in "[[Super Mario: Die Verwandlung]]".]]
| |
| Mega Man's first appearance in ''Mario''-related media is in the German ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' magazine comic "[[Super Mario: Die Bescherung]]". The comic shows him with several other characters at Mario and Luigi's Christmas party.
| |
|
| |
| His first and only major appearance was in the 1993 comic "[[Super Mario: Die Verwandlung]]", where he serves as Dr. Light's assistant. Toward the beginning Mega Man is the one that lets Mario into Dr. Light's home and guides him to his lab, making fun of Mario wearing a plastic bag to cover his pixelated head. Later, when Dr. Light confuses Mario's pixels for pimples, Mega Man appears and recommends "Oil of Mega Man". Finally, when Wario breaks out of the lab, Mega Man is the one driving the car they are chasing him in.
| |
|
| |
| Mega Man is also mentioned in the comic "[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]". When Mario and [[Toad]] meet [[Kirby]], the latter explains that he wants to see [[Crab|the wizard]] so that he can wish to look like Mega Man.

| |
| Mega Man's first appearance in first-party ''Mario''-related media is as a playable guest character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', as well as the third third-party character to be confirmed as a playable character in the series.
| |
|
| |
| Mega Man's appearance and aesthetics in this game are based on his appearance in the NES titles, possessing a moveset centered around shooting as his opponents; he can use the Mega Buster to fire multiple single shots as his standard attack, which can be used while both walking and jumping, and use the Charge Shot as a side smash attack<ref>[http://mariopartylegacy.com/2013/08/week-12-super-smash-bros-official-site-updates/ Week 12: Super Smash Bros. Official Site Updates | Mario Party Legacy]</ref>. His only direct attacks are the slide as his strong down attack, which made its debut in ''Mega Man 3'', and the Mega Upper as his strong up, a move introduced in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'' which later appeared in ''Marvel vs. Capcom''.
| |
|
| |
| 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]], [[Crash Bomber]], and [[Leaf Shield]] from ''Mega Man 2'' as his neutral special, side special, and down special respectively, and [[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]], which involves the other incarnations of the Mega Man character appearing alongside this one to blast opponents all at once.

| ===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
| |
| By scanning the Mega Man [[amiibo]] on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]] while playing ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', a special [[Mii]] racing suit designed after the character will be unlocked. A sample of this suit is shown right next to a picture of Mega Man on the Mii Racing Suits screen, which is located in the main menu of the game; thus, Mega Man makes his first cameo appearance within a ''Mario'' game. These features are only present as of version 4.0 of the aforementioned game.

|
| |
| ===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
| |
| Players can unlock a Mega Man [[List of Yoshi designs in Yoshi's Woolly World|amiibo design]] for [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' by scanning Mega Man's amiibo.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Mario Maker''===
| |
| [[File:Mega Man Super Mario Maker.png|thumb|left]]
| |
| Mega Man's amiibo can be used to unlock a Mega Man costume for use as [[Costume Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. His sprite is similar to his 8-bit sprite from the ''Mega Man'' series, but scaled down to fit the size of [[Small Mario]]. As with all other Costume Mario costumes, can only be used in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' graphical style.
| |
|
| |
| Mega Man's transformation sound is the level select sound from ''Mega Man 2'', and while he has no jumping sound effect, his landing and death sounds are the ones throughout the ''Mega Man'' series, and pressing up on the d-pad causes him to hold out the Mega Buster, which also plays the sound for firing a shot in the ''Mega Man'' series. Finally, his level clear song is from ''Mega Man 2''. His running and jumping animations are based on those used in the ''Mega Man'' series, and his stopping sprite is based on his sliding sprite first seen in ''Mega Man 3''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *''Mega Man'' series creator Keiji Inafune took some level of inspiration from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games when designing this series.<ref>[[wikia:c:megaman:Keiji Inafune|Keiji Inafune]] on the Mega Man Knowledge Base.</ref>
| |
| *[[Mario]] appears in a French commercial for ''Mega Man 2''.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sj8ncXOejo4</ref>
| |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Mega Man's original name is "Mega" in Dr. Light's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description; while not incorrect, most sources instead call him "Rock" to match his sister Roll. This instance of his original name stems from the PlayStation Portable remake of the original game ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Powered_Up Mega Man Powered Up]''.
