*[[File:MegaManIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right]]'''{{SSB4|Mega Man}}''': the {{s|wikipedia|title character}} of {{s|wikipedia|Capcom}}'s ''{{s|wikipedia|Mega Man}}'' series; an android named Rock created by the illustrious Dr. Light. He was originally designed by Light to serve as a lab assistant, but he was ultimately modified to serve a higher purpose after Light's former colleague - Dr. Wily - went rogue. Equipped with the Mega Buster and the ability to absorb the powers of adversarial Robot Masters, Mega Man foils the plans of the nefarious Wily time after time with a strong sense of justice. He is one of the most iconic video game characters. Similar to [[Nintendo]]'s [[Mario]] and {{s|wikipedia|Namco}}'s [[Pac-Man]], Mega Man is often treated as the unofficial mascot of Capcom. Despite being a third-party character, he is closely associated with Nintendo; the first seven ''Mega Man'' games released from 1987 - 1995 were originally exclusive to Nintendo consoles and he had a reoccurring presence on the American cartoon series ''{{s|wikipedia|Captain N: The Game Master}}'', appearing alongside Nintendo's [[Pit]] and {{s|wikipedia|Konami}}'s [[Simon Belmont]]. Mega Man was one of the five third-party characters to appear on the Japan-exclusive "If There Was a Smash 2" poll conducted by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] between the releases of the original ''Smash Bros.'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Even though the ''Mega Man'' series entered a brief period of dormancy that coincided with the development of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Mega Man was deemed significant enough to not only be included as a new fighter, but to also be one of the first shown off. He was revealed to be a newcomer in ''Smash 4'' with the games' unveiling during E3 2013 alongside {{SSB4|Villager}} and {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}. His [[weight]], [[gravity]], and overall physics are faithful translations of the [[wikipedia:Game feel|feel]] of the original ''Mega Man'' games. He has very few physical attacks, instead relying on a vast arsenal of weapons obtained from defeated Robot Masters from across the series. For his [[up special]], he summons the robotic dog '''Rush''' to perform [[Rush Coil]]. Like {{SSB4|Palutena}}, Mega Man has a wide variety of [[custom moves]], one of which replaces Rush with another companion of his - the robotic bird '''Beat'''. Mega Man's [[Final Smash]], [[Mega Legends]], has him fire a continuous beam of energy alongside his alter egos: [[Mega Man X]] from the [[wikipedia:Mega Man X|eponymous subseries]], [[MegaMan.EXE]] from ''{{s|wikipedia|Mega Man Battle Network}}'', [[Mega Man Volnutt]] from ''{{s|wikipedia|Mega Man Legends}}'', and [[Geo Stelar]] from ''{{s|wikipedia|Mega Man Star Force}}''.

*[[File:WilyCastleIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Wily Castle]]'''[[Wily Castle]]''': staged on a metal plateau before Dr. Wily's Skull Castle - the final stage of ''Mega Man 2''. The plateau is flanked by two floating platforms. The main gimmick of the stage is that the Yellow Devil resides here as a stage boss. Otherwise, it is a stage similar to {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}}, with small floating platforms moving in and out of the stage. The platforms that appear differ in function depending on the version of ''Smash 4''. In the 3DS version, platforms will float above the plateau and to the left and right of it. The layout is similar to the Bright Man Stage from ''Mega Man 4''. In the Wii U version, on-rail platforms move along a set path. They are similar to the moving platforms in the Guts Man Stage from the original ''Mega Man''; there are breaks in the rails that cause the platforms to abruptly fold and drop the the characters and items that were on top of it. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 3<sup>(<span style="color:#FF1E00">3DS</span>)</sup> and Level 4<sup>(<span style="color:#004DFF">Wii U</span>)</sup> of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Mega Man. Only its [[Ω form]] can accommodate [[8-Player Smash]], which takes place on the plateau.

*[[File:YellowDevilPortrait.png|right|120px]]'''[[Yellow Devil]]''': a giant, amorphous cyclops built by Dr. Wily. It is the [[stage boss]] of Wily Castle. It moves across the stage by dividing into smaller, spherical blobs that resemble into the Yellow Devil at the opposite end of the stage. It attacks players using its subdivisional body and by launching an array of different projectile beams from its eye. Its only weak point is its eye, an attribute carried over from the ''Mega Man'' games. After accumulating enough damage, the Yellow Devil explodes. The radius of the blast will trap opponents for the player who landed the final blow. It appears on the [[Smash Tour]] board as well in a dedicated "[[Boss Battle]]" triggered by the first player to cross its path. The victor is awarded an huge loot of stats. Files left in the 3DS version suggests that it was intended to appear in Smash Run in some unknown capacity alongside the other two stage bosses: [[Ridley]] and [[Metal Face]].

The ''Mega Man'' franchise returns with a sizable boost in representation. Along with all previous content returning (sans one Assist Trophy), the franchise has expanded its scope to include content from other subseries such as ''Mega Man X'' and ''Mega Man Star Force''. Along with the titular character returning as an unlockable fighter, two new Assist Trophies make their debut. The lone ''Mega Man'' stage returns now with more hazards and an even larger selection of music tracks, both sourced and rearranged. Rounding out the representation is a large variety of [[Spirits]] spanning every major video game subseries in the franchise, with no other third-party series having as many Spirits in ''Smash'' as ''Mega Man''.
