(Spelling grammar)
Line 160:
* [[Hologram]]: Rush has a holographic projector built in to transmit messages from afar by Dr. Light or recordings like in Mega Man 9's ending.
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: The very useful [[Combo-Platter Powers|Super Adapter]]'s homing upgrade. However, it's very hard to find, unless [[Guide Dang It|you know where to find it, that is.]]
** Essentially, it turns Mega Man into even more of a [[Flying Brick]], as his [[Rocket Punch|Hyper Mega Buster]] already dealt heavy damage to most enemies in the game and his [[Double Jump]] ([[Jet Pack|thrusters portrudingprotruding from his wings]]) could allow the use of shortcuts in most stages (and provide relief in the later [[Platform Hell]] sections); giving it homing functions only made Super Mega Man more of a plus, although it still doesn't quite make up for the disabling of his slide.
* [[Nerf]]: In ''3'', Rush Jet gave you free range of movement, and jumping while riding it greatly reduces the amount of energy it uses up. This makes it incredibly easy to skip the tougher segments of most levels. It was changed in later games so that he automatically moves straight forward and disappears as soon as it touches something.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: He's there to assist Mega Man in the [[Mega Man (animation)|animated series]] with his transformations, but his secondary funtionfunction is this. Often there to provide a [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]].
* [[Powered Armor]]: Has three versions, with the third being a combination of the other two. [[Bag of Spilling|And then...]]
* [[Robot Dog]]: Duh!
Line 244:
* [[Pride]]: He decided to [[Take Over the World]] essentially because he was sick with being in Dr Light's shadow.
* [[Sigil Spam]]: The classic "Dr. W" logo, which always means trouble.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Similarly to Light, in the English language localizations of the first few games, his name was rendered as Wily, Wiley, and even Willy (which isn't even pronuncedpronounced the same way!) before Wily became the standard English name/spelling.
* [[Supervillain Lair]]: Skull Castle, a veritable [[Platform Hell]]. To make things more difficult, he sometimes has multiple castles.
* [[Take Over the World]]: What he aims at.
Line 334:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler|To Mega Man.}}
* [[Future Badass]]: Oh ''so'' subverted. He's resorted to trying to kill {{spoiler|himself, he of the charging [[Arm Cannon]] and eight or so other weapons}}, with a pogostick/jackhammer hybrid, and his pattern is pathetically easy.
** This was then subverted ''again'' in ''[[No Export for You|Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future]]'', where Rockman Shadow is believed to be a much, much, ''much'' more dangerous Quint. It turns out that {{spoiler|he's a ''prototype'' (quite possibly a [[Super Prototype]] at that) of Quint who travelledtraveled back in time to prove himself worthy to Wily. The ''real'' Quint inexplicably has a cameo at the end.}}
* [[My Name Is Question Marks|My Serial Number Is Question Marks]]: "???-???", to be exact.
** We ''do'' know what the question marks represent though. Want to know? {{spoiler|Just look at the number for the first character listed on this page.}}
Line 371:
** In a sense, Mars could be considered as an alternate version of Napalm Man with [[More Dakka|all of those weapons]] and everything.
** Reversed with Pluto, who ended up having Slash Man from ''7'' as one for him (only, slightly more humanoid).
* [[Fish People]]: Neptune is as close as you can get in regards to a Robot Master. Even moresomore so than Splash Woman!
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Terra's Spark Chaser.
* [[Gravity Sucks]]: Saturn's Black Hole, which he also uses to teleport the player towards him.
Line 441:
** [[The Lancer]]: Whenever Proto Man's not around, expect Bass to work with Mega Man.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Mega Man.
** Made more explictexplicit in ''9''<ref>His outline appears in Dr. Wily's monitor in the ending</ref> and ''10'', where his sprites closely resemble Mega Man's.
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Fangs Are Evil]]: whenever he gives a [[Slasher Smile]], he gives off one of these.
Line 448:
* [[Fusion Dance]]: With Treble.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Bass's '''only''' priority is defeating Mega Man and proving himself as the "strongest robot". Since this doesn't specifically require helping Dr. Wily, or even obeying him, this has a tendency to backfire on the good Doctor. Bass's whole heroic turn in ''and Bass'' was just him proving that he was stronger than King.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"|It Is Pronounced BASE]]: The pronounciationpronunciation of his name. Lest we forget, [[Memetic Mutation|he is not a fish.]]
* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: His [[Boss Battle]] theme in ''7'' and ''8''.
Line 498:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: He makes an appearance in the supplemental manga for ''9'', fixing Beat and trying to talk Mega Man out of fighting.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: ''4'' -- where he debuted -- started the [[Disc One Final Boss]] schtick that would also be used in the fifth, and the sixth.
* [[Grim Up North]]: Makes his home in an articarctic fortress.
* [[Mission Control]]: In the ''Complete Works'' version of ''[[Mega Man 5]]''.
* [[Reluctant Mad Scientist]]
Line 504:
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: For Dr. Light in ''5'', when the latter was kidnapped.
** All the more fitting, since he was forced to be one for Dr. Wily in ''4''.
* [[Theme Naming]]: [[wikipedia:Cossacks|Not to be confused with military communities in Ukraine and Southern Russia]], the [[wikipedia:Hopak|cossack]] is a type of dance alternatively known as hopak or gopak. His daugherdaughter, Kalinka, shares her name with [[wikipedia:Kalinka (song)|a Russian song]].
