[[File:56237-Mega_Man_4_USA-1-thumb_9079.jpg|frame]]
The fourth game in the ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' series for the NES. It was released in Japan in December of 1991, closely followed by a North American release in January of 1992. PAL territories didn't get it until nearly a year later, in December of 1992. It has since seen numerous
It had been about a year since the events of ''[[Mega Man 3]]''. Dr. Wily had seemingly perished after the final battle, having been apparently crushed by the falling debris from his fortress. But the peace is short-lived when Dr. Light is contacted by a new [[Mad Scientist]] named Dr. Cossack, who has sent his own new breed of robot masters out to challenge Mega Man. Tired of Dr. Light
However, once Mega Man had defeated Cossack's eight robot masters and confronted the doctor himself, it's revealed that Dr. Wily is still alive, and had kidnapped Dr. Cossack's daughter, Kalinka, and forced him to use his robots to battle his nemesis. Mega Man defeats Wily, who escapes, and peace is restored once more.

▲* [[Auto Scrolling Level]]: The third Cossack stage is one of these, a rarity in the series.
▲* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Skull Man. You too, once you recieve his Skull Barrier.
* [[Behind the Black]]: Pharaoh Man's level. After the first part, you have to drop down a crevice to continue, but going forward nets you a special item.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: Parts of Bright Man's level become this if you shoot the 100-Wattons that fly through the area.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Cranium Ride]]: Bright Man's stage has you ride a robotic grasshopper over spikes on a few occasions. Pharaohman has a similar gimmick in his level.
* [[Denial of Diagonal Attack]]: Averted by the Pharaoh Shot, which can be aimed diagonally; played straight with everything else.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Dr. Cossack.
* [[Down the Drain]]: Most of Toadman's stage and part of the first Wily level. Diveman's stage is either this or [[Underwater Base]].
* [[Dramatic Thunder]]: Cossack's Siberian Citadel is introduced this way.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: It is possible to ''kill'' Dr. Wily as he's ejecting from his exploding Wily Machine if you fire the Rain Flush and time it just right, so the rain starts as he's flying out. However, doing this will mess up an [[Event Flag]] that ends the level, meaning you're stuck in that room, forcing you to reset.
* [[Glorious Mother Russia]]: The Cossacks; [[Fanon]] has taken it [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Guide Dang It]]: The Drill Bomb can be detonated prematurely by pressing the fire button a second time. Many players may not know that. Since this is the only reliable way to damage the second part of the Wily Machine (via [[Splash Damage]]), they can get stuck there for the longest time, thinking they had to use Rush to get high enough to shoot the weak point.
* [[Hijacked by Ganon]]: The first time (of many) where Dr. Wily enacts this as part of his current world conquest scheme.
* [[Homing Projectile]]: The Dive Missile.
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Daughter]]: How Wily got Cossack to do his bidding.
