Things in Megaman that you never noticed before until recent

[GameAndWatcher]

I cannot believe I didn't notice that Magma Man was supposed to be a frickin' volcano until recently. I feel stupid for not noticing sooner.

in replaying mega man v, i just realized that neptune's stage is i think the only one in the whole classic series with a screen transition that isn't just two screens shifting -- the one in which you're going from the outer portion of... whatever marine space vessel neptune lives in to the interior!

[Geno]

I believe Charge Man Stage in Mega Man IV also has a similar screen transition
(I dunno, maybe even the NES MM5 version as well???)

[kirbymariomega]

completely forgot about charge man's stage -- in the nes version alone, there are two transitions like that

I just realized that Wily Tower's soundtrack is awesome! Mega Water S, Wily stages 1 and 4, and the ending theme are amongst the best themes in the series! The only problem is the boss theme, but then again, the Megaman series rarely gets (Robot Master) boss themes right.

I just realized that the versions of Atomic Fire and Power Stone in the arcade games are literally just Flame Blast and Water Wave

I wonder if they originally planned to put Flame Man and Wave Man in the games, but ended up replacing them with Heat Man and Stone Man?

Na, Atomic Fire functioned like that in the first arcade game as well in which Heat was in the MM1~2 set. Also it functions more like Heat Man's actual Atomic Fire. As for Stone, I guess they figured the original might be too broken. Though wish they changed the name at least.

I'm not sure if this was intentional, but does Hard Man look like a cement mixer to anyone else?

I was playing the Mega Man Game Gear game for some reason, and as I was trying to destroy a Springer in Quick Man stage, I noticed something odd was going on...

(click to show/hide)

namely, the infamous lasers change colour with Mega Man!
(Also, I gotta say, they look much nicer in light blue than they do in the icky orangy colour in the NES version)

in my childhood i was thinking megaman was a kid with a robotic suit

and megaman and roll were couples

i dont know that happens to me when you first watch the megaman battle network anime before playing the classic megaman


and i tought too that zero was a women

Having recently bought Rockman 5 Complete Works, I have found the MM5 Dark Man stage palette quirk doesn't happen on the PlayStation; the ground is always blue rather than purple.

So I just realized:

Mothraya, the Cossack Stage 1 boss pays homage to Toho's kaiju, Mothra.

Then I thought "where's Godzilla, then". Well, it's in Slash Man's stage: the gian t-rex that chases Mega Man, called King Gojulus.

And then I thought "what about the Wily Stage 2 boss", and yup, he and his babies are based on Daiei Film's Gamera, another famous kaiju.

And then I thought "well, there must be more!", and I assume Mecha Dragon is coincidentially the closest we'll ever get to a homage of Toho's King Ghidorah.

I just noticed that mm zero 4 is the only game in wich you start with some skills(max charge for 3 weapons and saber combox3)

I just noticed that Trinitro man's dead may be influenced by Phantom's dead in MMZ1(Because both try to kill the protagonist before/after dying).

Ew unlimited in our official discussion, also Trinitro's death only happens if you kill him by destroying his container, since you are causing an explosion of a robot who has an extremely combustible liquid inside him, so it isn't him "trying" to it is a result of blowing him up.
