On an earlier page, it was asked 'why does Mega Man have those little holes on the bottoms of his feet'?I think it's a minor Gundam reference. Like how Proto Man references Char, his shield is a recolored Gelgoog shield, Sniper Joes are references to Zakus, and ZX Advent references every single Gundam timeline that existed at that point.
Remember that stupid palette thing I found out in Dark Man Stage 1?Stone Man Stage has a similar thingThis room! Has odd little magenta platforms that get recoloured later in the stageif you actually go to the later place and come backthey're peach!Other tiles in the first half are also affected by this. The background in the first room would probably also be affected.... but there's no way to get back to that room unfortunately
Most of the "major" robot characters are actually all musical terms, save for "Proto Man"'s overseas name.Mega Man = Rock Man who was also "Rock" before being turned into a fighting robot.Roll = combined with Rock you get the Rock and Roll genre.Proto Man = Blues genreBass + Treble = The clefs. Japanese names: Forte means to play notes loud and powerfully (fitting of his personality), while Gospel is a music genre, mostly religious music.Duo = Referencing a duet, when 2 people sing or play together.Enker = Enka which is a traditional Japanese music style.Punk = Punk musicQuint = Quintet is a group of 5 membersBallade = Ballads are a poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas.Beat = all music have a "beat" usually associated with the tempo.Tango = a type of dance.Reggae = a popular Jamaican genre of music.Rush = All I got is the band and it is possible that was coincidence.Eddie is the only main games one I can't think of what he would be if he even is.Archie Comics brought us:Tempo = the speed of the music.Solo = When one person plays or sings by them self.Trio = When three people play or sing together.I guess even Fan could fit the premise of musical terms, and I don't think I would need to explain what he would be.
Also, while not robots themselves, Dr. Cossack and Kalinka are named after Russian dances.
