This article is about the program Rush. For his Classic Mega Man counterpart, see Rush.

Rush (ラッシュ, Rasshu), known as Mole in the English version of Mega Man Battle Network 2, is a character from the Mega Man Battle Network series.

Appearance

Rush is different from his classic counterpart. Rush is a canine program who has a brown head, and tan face, long floopy ears, a brown tail, (seemingly) a tannish shirt, a red collar, tan arms, tannish hands, black legs and brown feets.

Games

In the games, Rush is a rare enemy in the first two games that appears in the Undernet areas. He doesn't attack the player, and every attack done to him causes only 1 HP of damage. Rush acts similar to the Whac-A-Mole game, creating three holes and appearing in one of them. If the player doesn't hit him before he returns to the hole, he will escape the battle.

In Mega Man Network Transmission, Mole appears in Legendary WWW Area 2. The battle style in fighting it is similar to other games, where the virus only takes 1 damage each hit and has 10 HP total. When defeated, the player may receive either a Recov300 Battle Chip or a PopUp Battle Chip.

In Mega Man Battle Network 3 to 6, Rush appears as a Navi Customizer program that makes him appear once per battle in multiplayer NetBattles. When the opponent uses an Invisible or Mole / PopUp chip, he'll gnaw on the user, consume the chip, and paralyze them.

Also in Mega Man Battle Network 6, Rush appears when MegaMan uses special treats on orange panels, forming a bridge for the NetNavi to cross over a gap.

Along with Tango and Beat, they appear on the Rockman EXE 4 e-Reader cards, Triple Supporter.

Anime

In the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, Rush has a larger role then the games, being introduced in the last episodes of the first season. Rush is a program that Dr. Hikari installed in Maylu's PET before Lan Hikari's friends went to rescue MegaMan in SciLab. Rush has the ability to produce holes that can make him travel between any part of the net and the real world, and he can summon viruses like Mettaurs from the holes he makes to help him. One time, he appeared in the real world in a gigantic form and fights a huge virus. Later, ShadeMan turned him into a Synchro Chip in order to materialize in the real world.

Serious Rush

Serious Rush (ホンキノラッシュ, Honki no Rasshu), known as Mole2 outside Japan, is a stronger version of Rush that appear in the WWW Area 3 from Mega Man Battle Network 2. It acts in the same way as the normal Rush, except it can receive any amount of damage. A virus similar to this one appears in the last episode of the second season of the anime, MegaMan NT Warrior.

Trivia

• Rush was originally designed for Mega Man Legends 2, but he was cut and later used in the Mega Man Battle Network series.
• In Mega Man Battle Network 2 Hard Mode, it is impossible to delete Rush with the normal method, as he has 15 HP and will run after 10 hits. He can still be deleted if he moves to a panel with the Whirlpool and Black Hole chips active, as they delete any virus regardless of HP.
