The fourth game in the ''[[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|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 rereleases, including the ''Rockman Complete Works'', ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'', [[Virtual Console]], and PSN.
 
It had been about a year since the events of ''[[Mega Man 3 (Video Game)|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 recieving all of the recognition for his accomplishments while his have been ignored, Cossack intends to destroy Light's crowning achievement and then put his broken body on display for the whole world to see, as proof that he is the superior one.
 
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.
Line 15:
* [[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.
* [[Blinded Byby the Light]]: The Flash Stopper
* [[Boss Arena Urgency]]: Mothraya destroys part of the floor with one of its attacks.
* [[Build Like an Egyptian]]: Were you expecting Pharaoh Man's stage to be anything else?
Line 27:
* [[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]].
* [[Hijacked Byby Ganon|Hijacked By Wily]]
* [[Homing Projectile]]: The Dive Missile.
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Daughter]]: How Wily got Cossack to do his bidding.
Line 36:
* [[Rings of Death]]: The Ring Boomerang.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Mothra|Mothraya]], the first Boss of Cossack's Citadel.
* [[Skele -Bot 9000]]: The Skeleton Joes that inhabit Skull Man's stage are this. They even [[Pulling Themselves Together|reassemble]] if they're not totally destroyed by a [[Charged Attack]].
* [[Skull for Aa Head]]: Skull Man, obviously.
* [[Super-Hero Origin]]: Mega Man's origin story had previously been [[All There in the Manual]], but this game goes ahead and puts this in the game's intro.
* [[Teleport Spam]]: This is the first game where you fight Wily in his teleporting saucer.
