Mega Man VI (Japanese: Rockman 6: The Greatest Battle in History!!, ロックマン 6 史上最大の戦い!!) is a video game that is a part of the Mega Man Classic series. This late-era game was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America and on the Famicom in Japan. The game never received an official European release, probably due to it having been made in the final years of the "NES era".

Story

In the year 20XX (2012) 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.

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 Dr. Wily 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 this madness. It has been suggested that Enker be merged into this article or section. ...

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. Apparently Wily had long ago kidnapped the real multi-billionaire and had been passing himself off as him for a long while now.

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.

Notes

The following Robot Masters appear in this game. The character designer is listed after the robot. 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. ...

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 VI. 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. This article is about the Nintendo of America produced publication. ...

Beat makes a reappearance in this game similar to it's appearance in Mega Man V. 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. This game is the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Famicom. ...

This game also includes one of the few serious bugs of the series. At one point in Tomahawk Man's stage the background becomes corrupted and the music stops playing. This state is only temporary and the game returns to normal state once this section of the stage is passed.

As with Mega Man V, the same musical theme 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.

This game was re-released in 2004 as part of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Mega Man Anniversary Collection is a collection of ten video games featuring Capcoms hero Mega Man. ...

Trivia

Due to the decline and waning support of the 8-bit NES and the arrival of the newer and more powerful Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Capcom decided not to publish Mega Man VI in North America, concentrating on marketing Mega Man X instead. The North American version of Mega Man VI was released by Nintendo instead. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as Super NES or SNES, is a 16-bit video game console released by Nintendo in North America, Europe, and Australia. ... World map showing North America A satellite composite image of North America North America is a continent in the northern hemisphere bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean, on the south by the Caribbean Sea, and on the west by the... Mega Man X, released in 1993 by Capcom, is the first game in the Mega Man X series. ...

Although it reads "To Be Continued" after the closing credits, Mega Man VI may have been intended as the final game in the "Classic" series, with Capcom focusing on Mega Man X. However, there is no specific information to confirm or deny this theory and if there was they obviously changed their minds because Mega Man VII came a year later, continuing the Mega Man Classic series.
