Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight

Describe Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight here.

Okay...but I'll need to call in Cut Man to help me.

Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight is a freeware fangame of the older 8 bit series of Mega Man games by Riverroad. The basic premise is that Mega Man has mysteriously vanished and Dr. Wily is once again out for world conquest. Since Mega Man is unavailable, it falls to the other six Robot Masters from MM1 to save the day. Each level involves guiding one of the Robot Masters to the exit and fighting the level boss.

You can download the game from here.

A sequel, Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight 2, came out in 2012, followed by Mega Man: A Day in the Limelight 3 in 2014.


 * Advancing Boss of Doom: The Mecha Dragon averts the trope this time but still has a "keep moving or die" bit anyway.
 * Awesome but Impractical: Gutsman. He can't walk, but he makes up for it by being able to drop rocks and not only throw them at the enemies, but have the rocks drop ON the enemies.
 * Badass in Distress: The plot of the game.
 * The Big Guy: Gutsman, given he's one of the good guys.
 * Blow You Away: Airman.
 * Breakout Mook Character: And how!
 * Breather Boss: Gutsman vs Crashman, compared to the level and the other bosses.
 * Bubble Gun: Bubbleman uses this as a weapon.
 * Cartoon Bomb: Bombman uses these as a weapon. Averted by Crashman, though.
 * Dual Boss: Bubbleman and Flashman.
 * Excuse Plot: Just like any other Mega Man game.
 * Extra Ore Dinary: Cutman and Metalman.
 * Final Exam Boss: It takes all the playable characters to beat Wily.
 * Green Thumb / Petal Power: Woodman and his leaf shield. With added metal leaves that Cutman can't cut!
 * An Ice Person: Iceman uses this trope as a weapon.
 * Playing with Fire / Wreathed in Flames: Fireman with the former and Heatman with the latter.
 * Puzzle Boss: During the Wily Capsule boss phase where you play as Elecman, you have to align the cannon to where it fires at the Wily Capsule.
 * Sequential Boss: Wily Capsule.
 * Shock and Awe: Elecman.
 * Stock Video Game Puzzle: Most of the Elecman vs Metalman stage, some of the Iceman vs Heatman level, and a couple screens of the Fireman vs Airman level.

 * Time Master / Time Stands Still: Flashman uses this trope as a weapon.
