* [[Awesome Art]]: The art style's contested, but the designs, animation and backgrounds are not unpleasant to look at and have held up quite well in the intervening years.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Bass. Not only is the he robot equivalent of an edgy pretty boy, but his [[Inner Monologue]] in the opening cutscene shows that by the english dub's standards, he's got quite a pleasant-sounding voice.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The stage select is accompanied with a globe of the earth, with Dr. Light's Lab being in [[Eagle Land|Denver, CO]]. Note the position in the 2nd select screen of [[Qurac|Wily Tower]]... ''then'' note that this was made ''before'' [[The War on Terror|9/11/01]].
* [[Narm]]: A lot of the voice acting, but Mega Man, Dr. Light, and Bass stand out.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: The ''Anniversary Collection'' port, particularly the Gamecube version, has numerous issues with sound emulation, such as skipping through parts of music tracks, and bosses voices inexplicably speeding up. Not to mention there were bouts of slowdown that were certainly not in the original game. The [[Xbox]] version of Anniversary Collection is also quite blurry compared to the original game.
** Even Rush somehow manages to get in on this despite "speaking" in barks and growls.
** Arguably, the [[PlayStation]] version as well (albiet to a far lesser extent), having removed two [[Bonus Boss]] fights and an art gallery from the Saturn version. The ''Anniversary Collection'' mentioned above also uses the PlayStation version
* [[Polished Port]]: The [[Sega Saturn]] version, for adding some new content such as extra bosses and art galleries. Sadly, ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'' does not use this version, likely due to the PS1 version being easier to port to another console.

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: When it comes down to restoring energy on a whim, Rush Charger takes the place of Energy Tanks, except it's not as reliable.
* [[Signature Scene]]: The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmMispgpUs0 Doctah Wahwee] cutscene has become a notorious example of [[So Bad It's Good|hilariously bad voice acting]], and by far the thing most people remember about the game.
* [[That One Boss]]: Atetemino, the bagworm robot fought in the first Wily stage. Hitting him requires you to perfectly aim the notoriously finnicky Mega Ball, and his own attacks are very hard to dodge.
* [[That One Level]]: Frost Man's stage, and, much worse, ''Dr. Wily Stage 1''. [[Most Annoying Sound|Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!]]
