19 in the Japanese releases Eggman - crash - oh no clash man number four there's a noticeable difference in the music tempo and gameplay speeds between the European versions of Megaman 2 and the North American version the EU version plays at around 83 points 3% of the US version speed this is due to the conversion issue that occurred during the game's localization from 60 Hertz which is the u.s. standard to 50 Hertz which is the EU standard strangely Mega Man himself isn't slowed down making some parts of the game flex the Metal Men conveyor belt easier in the European version of the game number LM in a stage selection screen if you hold down the a button while choosing a stage it starts behind the presentation of the boss will turn into PPS number 22 tribute art for Marvel vs. Capcom origins design by Chiquito is heavily inspired by the u.s. box art of Megaman - number 23 the weirdly designed bad european box art megaman makes an appearance in issue 55 of short-circuits comics humorously Mega Man has a look of horror at at the European box art counterpart number 24 Kachina Flynn I stated that Mega Man 2 on the Gameboy which is least favored the Game Boy series since it was outsourced to a different company that it only worked on Megaman dr. Wily's revenge and the new company was unfamiliar with the franchise number 25 middle man is said to be Keiji Inafune is least favorite boss in Mega Man 2 because he's too easy according to a 1996 interview which can make to number 26 after a week of work on top man from Mega Man 3 in a Phineas data was lost in the computer crash so he ended up spending three more days for building him from scratch in the process he made top men one of his most memorable creation number right 7 if you use the topspin weapon of dr. Wily's final form in Mega Man 3 he'll die in one hit number 28 the two robot masters in the American cover Sparkman in the foreground top man his background are given the wrong colors spark man is all gray when he's meant to the orange and gray well top man is green even though he's supposed to be orange number 29 doc robots named in Japan is the quarter bottle a combination of two words dokuro skull and robot all robot his name is a pun on how he look which is why was lost in translation when coming into America this is also why in Captain end Game Master doc robot appeared as a robot doctor for the human of hearin number 30 the wily Wars version of Mega Man 3 features some weird glitches for instance a ton of blue protoman will rain down on gamma stay after you kill him number 31 the wily Wars was rated Ma 13 by the video game rating council similar to the ESRB t rating which is very unusual for Mega Man game number 32 in Japan there was a contest to design eight robot masters in Megaman for the winners received a gold cartridge of the game they're currently valued at around six hundred and twenty-eight thousand yen which is just about six thousand dollars u.s. each number 33 the tunnel just before the bosses was actually there for loading purposes you show up there after the stage data is finished and you wait there in limbo until the boss data is formatted and you can jump in on that this is a clever way to slow the pacing down so that you wouldn't see the limitations of the hardware number 34 it's actually possible to kill dr. wily in the penultimate battle with him after destroying wily machine number four you can switch to toad man's weapon drain flush and fire it for the screen when rain comes down before while he leaves the screen in his escape pod you tap will destroy him with a sound effect and explosion graphic the same as if you were destroying a common stage enemy however Mega Man will never least up there on the screen forever and the game won't advance to the next level if you do this but I like to think it's the ultimate sacrifice for the common good number 35 it's likely the reason Mega Man 4 took place in Russia and introduced a Russian antagonist off the cross back which because the game was released in 1991 the same year at the foal of the Soviet Union and in the Berlin Wall number 36 it's theorized that Mega Man 5 was banned in Vietnam due to its inclusion of napalm man napalm was a chemical used in the Vietnam War with the u.s. between 1959 and 1975 also the level design looks a lot like the Vietcong Tunnel and includes traps and enemies named it designed after the animals from the area in around Vietnam number 37 in Mega Man 5 if you use an EM tank while Mega Man's health and all his weapons are full all non boss enemies on screen will turn into 1up number 38 in wave man's stage in Mega Man 5 if you use the super arrow to jump over the marine bike Mega Man will walk on water you might get stuck but it's still possible to get to the other side of the stage if you manage to stay on screen number 39 Capcom doing a published Mega Man 6 in North America what it was released due to its declining support of the NES then tend to obtain the rights to distribute the game themselves instead in fact Capcom's logo is nowhere to be found in the box of the North American version the developers only mentioned the copyright and trademarks in the bottom right hand corner of the box number 40 Mega Man 6 is the only NES Mega Man game that wasn't published in Europe until it was released in the Virtual console Nintendo 3ds in 2013 roughly 20 years after its original release number 41 Megaman fix the first game in the series to show Megaman speaking number 40 to win man and Nightman are two of the only robot masters not to have been designed by a person from Japan the designer for night man Daniel Valley is actually Canadian number 43 the country's the robot masters came from are never revealed in Mega Man 6 although the manual says that 3 came from Japan yamato man from canada lizard man and the united states tomahawk man the others are supposed to be from brazil plant man England's Night Man Saudi Arabia Philemon Greece centaur man and China wins men number 44 when you obtain new weapons in the English version of Mega Man 7 you're always greeted by dr. light who will give you information about it and the Japanese version you'll also meet role in auto number 45 there's a Famicom hanging from the ceiling at the very beginning of Jumpman stage number 36 although it's hinted at Mecca man was in doubt whether or not she would kill dr. wily in Mega Man 7 he did actually want to kill while in the English version in a Japanese version after Megaman defeats dr.
