The Yellow Devil originally appeared in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Mega Man|video game}}'', where it served as the stage boss for the first stage of that game's Wily Fortress. It is made of a shape-memory alloy originally created by Dr. Light which was stolen by Wily during the events of the first game, although the control chip acting as its eye, allowing it to break apart and reform into its humanoid form, was unfinished rendering the Yellow Devil unable to move. It used attack patterns similar to its appearance in ''Smash 4'', splitting into multiple parts and moving across to the other side of the stage. The Yellow Devil is notably a hard boss in the ''Mega Man'' series since the split parts of it make it hard to dodge and predict, and that it will repeatedly split again after opening its eye (its weak point) to fire a beam at the player. The Yellow Devil's weakness was the Thunder Beam, which was obtained by defeating [[Elec Man]]. | The Yellow Devil originally appeared in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Mega Man|video game}}'', where it served as the stage boss for the first stage of that game's Wily Fortress.

The playable Robot Masters also make an attempt to communicate with it; Ice Man appears to understand it but says that even though the Yellow Devil has a mission, he has his own mission, too. Cut Man and Oil Man (a character exclusive to the remake) both insult it by copying its language, although Oil Man intentionally does so while Cut Man was trying to appease it. Bomb Man however demands that the Devil speak in a language that he can understand. While playing as [[Proto Man]], he instead threatens the Devil that one shot at him will blow up his nuclear reactor, vaporizing the entire fortress. Here, it was weak to Fire Storm, which was obtained by defeating Fire Man. | ||

It attacks players by shooting lasers out of its eye and splitting into sections and moving to the other side of the stage, mimicking its behavior in the original game. It can be damaged by attacking its eye, and once defeated, it causes a large damaging explosion, similar to the [[Smart Bomb]]. The player who lands the finishing blow on the Yellow Devil is not harmed by the explosion, and any [[KO]]s caused by it will count as their attack. | ||
