ABOUT ME
My name is Jeffrey and I am 12 and I live in California. Last summer my big
brother Michael moved out to go to college and he left me his old Nintendo
(the regular one, not the Super) and a shoebox full of games. Most of them
were sports games and a lot of them did not work unless you blew in them a
LOT. But at the bottom there was MEGA MAN 2. I put it in just to see.
I played it for like five hours. My mom had to unplug the TV.
After that I had to have every Mega Man game. Michael only had 2 and 3, so I
started looking at garage sales and the used game store, and now I have all
six of the Nintendo ones! I also played 7 at my friend Joel's house, and I got
8 and Legends for PlayStation for my birthday, and I have rented all the X
ones. So I have played basically every Mega Man game there is. (Except the
Game Boy ones. I do not have a Game Boy. HINT HINT, if my mom is reading this.)
I made this page because nobody at my school cares about Mega Man, they only
care about Pokémon. Pokémon is OK. But Mega Man is better and
here is why.

This is just decoration, don't type it in. It's a J for Jeffrey.
THE STORY
OK so there are two scientists, Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. Dr.
Light is the good one with the big white beard. He built a bunch of robots
to help people do jobs, like cutting things and building things. Dr. Wily
was jealous so he stole the robots and reprogrammed them to take over the
world. (That is basically the plan in every game. He never comes up with a
new plan.)
Dr. Light also had two helper robots, Rock and Roll. (Get it?
Rock and Roll. In Japan Mega Man is called Rockman.) Rock asked Dr. Light to
turn him into a fighting robot so he could stop Dr. Wily, and that is how he
became MEGA MAN. Roll stayed home. Roll does not get to do much,
which my friend Lisa says is not fair, and she is right.
Rush is Mega Man's robot dog. He showed up in Mega Man 3 and he can
turn into a spring to bounce you up high, or a jet, or a submarine. Best dog
ever. Way better than a real dog because he does not need to go outside.
(Sorry to my real dog Pepper.)
Proto Man is the coolest. He shows up in Mega Man 3 and you can hear
him whistling before he comes on the screen, and he wears sunglasses and a
scarf and has a shield. You do not know whose side he is on. It turns out
he was Dr. Light's FIRST robot, before Mega Man, so he is kind of like Mega
Man's big brother. Which is like me and Michael except Michael does not
have a shield.
Then there is the Mega Man X series, which happens a really long time
later in the future. X is a new robot Dr. Light built before he died and he
gets found in a capsule. His friend is Zero, who has a laser sword,
and the bad guy is Sigma. Zero is maybe cooler than Proto Man. I go
back and forth.
EVERY MEGA MAN GAME I'VE PLAYED
My ratings are in E-Tanks. 5 E-Tanks is the best.
| GAME |
WHAT I THINK |
E-TANKS |
MEGA MAN Nintendo |
The first one. Only six bosses and no passwords, so you have to beat it all at once. It also has points, which none of the others do, which is weird. The box is SO bad. Mega Man looks like a grown-up guy holding a gun. |
3 |
MEGA MAN 2 Nintendo |
THE BEST ONE. Eight bosses, passwords, E-Tanks, and the music in the first Dr. Wily stage is the best video game music ever, I am not even kidding. I hum it in class. |
5!!! |
MEGA MAN 3 Nintendo |
You can slide now! And it has Rush and Proto Man. After you beat the eight bosses you have to go back through some of the stages again against Doc Robot, who copies the bosses from Mega Man 2. That part is hard. |
5 |
MEGA MAN 4 Nintendo |
This is the one where you can charge up your shot. There is a new scientist, Dr. Cossack, but guess who is really behind it. (Dr. Wily. It is always Dr. Wily.) |
4 |
MEGA MAN 5 Nintendo |
Proto Man kidnaps Dr. Light!?!? (No he doesn't, it's a phony one.) If you find all the letters that spell MEGAMANV you get Beat, a little robot bird that helps you. I found all of them. It took me two weeks. |
4 |
MEGA MAN 6 Nintendo |
The last Nintendo one. Rush can stick onto Mega Man and turn him into a jet or a super strong punching guy. The bad guy is Mr. X. It is Dr. Wily with a stick-on beard. EVERYBODY could tell. |
4 |
MEGA MAN 7 Super Nintendo |
Played it at Joel's. The graphics are way bigger. It has Bass and his dog Treble, who are like evil Mega Man and Rush, and a shop where you buy stuff with bolts. |
4 |
MEGA MAN 8 PlayStation |
It has cartoon movies with talking in them. Some of the talking is pretty funny when it isn't supposed to be. There are snowboard parts that made me so mad I had to go outside. |
3 |
MEGA MAN LEGENDS PlayStation |
Totally different. It's 3-D and you walk around a whole island and go into ruins. Roll is in it but she is a different Roll. The pirates are the best part, Tron Bonne and her little Servbots. |
4 |
MEGA MAN X Super Nintendo |
You can dash and climb up walls! You find capsules from Dr. Light with armor in them. Joel says he got the secret Street Fighter fireball in this one. I believe him maybe. |
5 |
MEGA MAN X2 Super Nintendo |
Zero got blown up in the first one so you have to find his parts to fix him. Rented it twice. |
4 |
MEGA MAN X3 Super Nintendo |
You get to play as Zero for a little bit. Only a little bit though. Hard to find to rent. |
3 |
MEGA MAN X4 PlayStation |
You pick X OR Zero at the start and play the whole game as him. I picked Zero. The sword is SO good. |

DR. WILY'S WORST IDEAS
Dr. Wily is supposed to be a genius. Here are some reasons I am not so sure.
- Building eight robots that are each weak to another one's weapon. Once you beat one you can beat the next one easy. Why would you do that. Make them weak to NOTHING.
- The alien at the end of Mega Man 2. He pretends he is an alien to scare you. It is a hologram. You still have to beat it but come on.
- Putting a giant skull on his castles. So everybody knows which castle is the bad guy's.
- The Mr. X beard. See Mega Man 6 above.
- Making a phony Proto Man to kidnap Dr. Light. Good job, Dr. Wily. Now the REAL Proto Man is mad at you too.
- Saying sorry. He begs Mega Man to forgive him at the end of a bunch of games and then does it all again. Mega Man, stop believing him!!!
- Building Bass. Bass is supposed to beat Mega Man but he keeps losing, and he is not even nice to Dr. Wily.
MY GARAGE SALE LOG
My mom likes garage sales on Saturday mornings, so I go with her and look for
Nintendo stuff. Here is how I got my games:
- Mega Man 2 and 3 - From Michael's shoebox. FREE.
- Mega Man 4 - $3, from a guy who was selling his whole Nintendo. My mom said I could not buy the whole Nintendo.
- Mega Man - $5 with the box and the instruction book. Even with the bad box.
- Mega Man 6 - $4 at the used game store. The label has a name written on it in marker. It says KYLE. Sorry Kyle, it's mine now.
- Mega Man 5 - The hardest to find. $8 at a garage sale in July. The lady said her son was in the Navy now. I said thank you, I will take good care of it.
Still looking for: a Game Boy and the Game Boy Mega Mans. If you see any garage sales with Nintendo stuff, e-mail me!!!
