Rush (ラッシュ Rasshu?) is Mega Man's faithful robotic dog. Created by Dr. Light to assist Mega Man in his travels, he debuted in Mega Man 3. Initially, Rush was able to transform into a coil, a hoverboard, and a submarine. In Mega Man 6, he was upgraded and gained the ability to fuse with Mega Man to form the Power and Jet Suits. In Mega Man 7, his jet and coil abilities returned, but he now had Rush Search, a detection mode. Also, both of his suit transformations combined into one: the Super Adapter. In Mega Man 8, he has more abilities than ever, including a transformation into a motorcycle and healing abilities.

In the MegaMan Battle Network series, Rush appears as an enemy virus in the first two games (named "Mole" in the English MegaMan Battle Network 2) and as a Navi Customizer program in later games that appear once per battle in multiplayer NetBattles. In the anime MegaMan NT Warrior, he is a program that has the ability to produce holes that can make him go to the real world.

[edit] Functions

[edit] Rush Coil

RC

A coil platform emerges from Rush's body and propels Mega Man to a higher level.

Appearances:

[edit] New Rush Coil

New Rush Coil is the modification of the Rush Coil from Mega Man 5. Rush's legs become the coil, and Rush is propelled with Mega Man. Mega Man must leap off Rush to reach his target.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Jet

Image:Rushjetsprite.jpg Image:Rush_Jet_MM8.jpg Rush transforms into a flying sled which Mega Man can ride. Its usage differs greatly from Mega Man 3 to Mega Man 4 and onward. In Mega Man 3, Rush Jet will stay underneath Mega Man under any circumstances unless he hits a wall. He acts as more of a personal hover device instead of a jet, allowing Mega Man to move in any direction, or stand still entirely and Rush Jet will stay beneath him. Also, Rush Jet's energy will only deplete if Mega Man is currently standing on him. Because of this, if a player continuously jumps, large pits can be crossed with using little or no energy.

In Mega Man 4 and later games, Rush Jet becomes more of a jet, his energy continually drains, and he will continuously move in the same direction (will make slight variations in vertical movement at the players discretion), acting much more like Item-2 from Mega Man 2. This change was made because once Rush Jet was acquired in Mega Man 3, it could be used to bypass situations where Rush Coil or Rush Marine were required and did so more effectively and easily than they could.

When Rush appears in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, he will turn in Rush Jet and hit the boss when Mega Man uses a charged attack.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Marine

Rush transforms into a mini-sub that can move freely in all directions underwater. It only functions in water, but is able to fire buster shots.

Appearances:

[edit] Adapters

[edit] Rush Power Adapter

Rush junctions with Mega Man to become Power Mega Man. Power Mega Man is able to break blocks by charging punches. The punches have limited range, and Mega Man cannot slide in this form. Possibly the inspiration for X's Gaea Armor.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Jet Adapter

Rush junctions with Mega Man to become Jet Mega Man. Jet Mega Man is able to use weapon energy to fly, and the energy recharges while grounded. Mega Man cannot charge his Buster or slide while using this form. Possibly the inspiration for X's Falcon Armor.

Appearances:

[edit] Super Adapter

SA

This Adapter combines the abilities of the Rush Power Adapter and Rush Jet Adapter, and can be upgraded with the Hyper Rocket Buster. The Mega Buster is replaced by a flying fist attack, similar to the Mega Arm. The flying ability was reduced compared to the Rush Jet Adapter. Mega Man can't slide while equipped with this. Bass's Treble Boost was created based on this item.

Appearances:

  • Mega Man 7: Find the R, U, S, and H Plates. Find the Hyper Rocket Buster in Turbo Man's stage or buy it from Auto after finding his Hyper Bolt.

[edit] Rush Search

The process of Rush Search with some of the possible (and amusing) results

Rush teleports to Mega Man's location and digs for items.[1] If he is hit, he will teleport away, and sometimes he only finds garbage. Several of the CDs in Mega Man & Bass can only be recovered using Rush Search, and the CD Finder upgrade helps locate them.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Charger

Rush teleports to Mega Man's location and tosses a random item to him.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Cycle

Image:Rush_Cycle.jpg Rush transforms into a motor-bike. Mega Man can fire weak projectiles from Rush's mouth and the extra speed allows for longer jumps to be made. While riding Rush, Mega Man doesn't take damage, but Rush's energy gauge depletes when hit. Possibly inspired by the Mega Man X Land/Ride Chaser bike.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Bomber

Rush flies across the screen in Rush Jet form, bombing enemies.

Appearances:

[edit] Rush Health

Rush flies across the screen in Rush Jet form, dropping health items.
