Story

In the year 20XX, the first annual "Robot Masters Tournament" is held. The tournament was designed to test the designing capabilities of the world's greatest engineers. Thus, engineers and programmers (and of course, spectators) from the world over gathered to participate in this event. The tournament was hosted by a man known only as "Mr. X," who was one of the world's richest men and supposedly one of its greatest engineers. The 21st century is the present century of the Anno Domini (common) era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. ... Doctor Albert W. Wily is a video game character and antagonist of the Mega Man Classic series. ...

Dr. Light, a pacifist, decided not to enter the tournament, but he took charge and did send Mega Man to go along and make sure that everything was safe for all the spectators and to discipline the Robot Masters. Many strong robots participated, and in the end, eight robots were victorious. Name trivia Right Labs logo from the Famicom game RockBoard. ... Pacifism is the opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes or gaining advantage. ... Mega Man, known as Rockman ) in Japan, is a video game character created by Keiji Inafune and is the title character of what has been referred to as the Classic Mega Man series developed by Capcom since 1987. ...

However, at the close of the tournament, Mr. X came to the podium and announced that he had reprogrammed the eight robots to do his bidding and that he had been manipulating the contestants all along. Furthermore, he was going to use his newly created army of robots, under command of the new Robot Masters to take over the world. Mega Man was immediately ordered by Dr. Light to put an end to the madness. In the Mega Man original series, a Robot Master is a special kind of robot or android that possesses a very advanced level of artificial intelligence. ...

Dr. Light has upgraded Rush to be able to combine with Mega Man to form various adapters, such as "Jet Mega Man", who can fly/hover for a brief period of time, but can't use charge shots, and "Power Mega Man", who can punch huge blocks to destroy them, but has limited attack range. This article is about main characters. ...

Mega Man fought and defeated the tough Robot Masters, who were spread out all throughout the world, and then made his way to Mr. X's fortress. After battling his way through, he finally confronted the madman and defeated him. Mr. X removed his mask and revealed that he was none other than Dr. Wily. Wily had been posing as the multi-billionaire for an indeterminate amount of time, so it's safe to say that "Mr. X" either did not or no longer exists. It has been suggested that Enker be merged into this article or section. ...

Wily fled to an all-new Skull Castle and Mega Man gave chase, fought his way through it, and defeated Dr. Wily in a final showdown. After the years of fighting, Dr. Wily was finally brought to justice and placed in prison with the proper authorities. As Wily can only quote, "rule over a prison cell," the world is finally at peace...for now.

The Rush Power adaptor also deals good damage against the robot masters, especially useful with Knight Man since it can hit him through his shield.

As with Mega Man 5, the same musical theme for the fortress stages was used for four consecutive levels, as opposed to using a theme for two levels and then using a different one. The same theme was used for all four levels of Mr. X's fortress, as well as the same theme being used for all four levels of Dr. Wily's fortress.

After defeating all the Robot Masters, Mega Man is forced to face what are considered to be the final bosses.

Robot Masters Info

• Two of the robots, Knight Man and Wind Man, were designed by the winners of a contest that Nintendo Power held in the United States. The contest stipulated that two robot designs would be sent to Capcom and be antagonists in Mega Man 6. Submissions came from children in North America. Similar contests were held in Japan for each game, but these two are the only Robot Masters designed by non-Japanese. Knight Man was designed by Daniel Vallie of Canada, and Wind Man was designed by Michael Leader of the United States.

Plant Man is the very first boss in the series to be designed specifically after a flower. Other plant-based bosses with obvious flower motifs have appeared in the Mega Man X series, such as Spike Rosered/Axel the Red (X5) and Optic Sunflower (X8).

• Centaur Man is the only Robot Master in the game that does not have a NetNavi counterpart in the MegaMan Battle Network universe. Furthermore, although Yamato Man has a counterpart, for unknown reasons the character was renamed "JapanMan" for his U.S. English appearance.

Power Ups

• Beat makes a reappearance in this game similar to his appearance in Mega Man 5. In each of the levels for Tomahawk Man, Yamato Man, Knight Man, and Centaur Man, two separate boss chambers appear, one more difficult to reach than the other. If the player succeeds in reaching the more difficult of the two boss chambers, the player receives, in addition to the Robot Master's weapon, a set of "Beat parts," representing the letters B, E, A, and T.
• Also, by meeting up with Proto Man in a certain stage, Mega Man can obtain an item called the Energy Balancer. It allows Mega Man to recharge special weapons without equipping them. When Mega Man grabs a weapon recharge item, the energy goes into the weapon with the lowest charge (assuming Mega Man's current weapon doesn't need the energy).
