StoryEdit

Doctor Wily is up to no good yet again, and it becomes clear when he revives 18 of his old Robot Masters. The weather is acting funky, a new theme park has opened called Wily Land, and traffic in the city is worse than ever. The source of the problem: Doctor Wily. Mega Man and Proto Man proceed to stop him, while Bass tags along to destroy the inferior creations that are the Robot Masters.

TriviaEdit

• In the sprites of this game, there are sprites of playable characters and the small Yellow Devils moving on ladders. Yellow Devil use these small version of himself only in the final battle of the "Megaman 3~6" mode.
• In Mega Man's ending, Dr. Light discusses that Robots need to discern right from wrong by themselves, while at the same time have restraints from harming humans, and needing to research AI a bit more, foreshadowing the building of Dr. Light's ultimate creation.  Similarly, the sequel, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, foreshadows the creation of Zero.
