Wily Castle, also known as Skull Castle, is a stage set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U from the Mega Man series. It takes place in front of Dr. Wily's Castle as depicted in Mega Man 2. The recurring Yellow Devil boss from the Mega Man games also appears on this stage as a stage hazard/boss, exploding when enough damage is done to its eye by the players. Its main method of attacking is using his own body, similar to Mega Man.
Origin
In every game in the original series of Mega Man games, Dr. Wily would reside in a castle that could only be accessed by defeating the eight (six in the first Mega Man game) Robot Masters. Among the numerous robotic enemies found in the castle besides the rebuilt Robot Masters, the most notable enemy was the recurring boss, Yellow Devil. This boss was often among the last lines of defense against Mega Man, being fought at the end of certain stages in the castle. As for the castles themselves, there were often several different stages in them, one of which was usually reserved for fighting the rebuilt Robot Masters in a sort of Boss Rush Mode. At the end of the castle, Dr. Wily was the players' opponent, often fighting in countless varieties of mechs.
The version of Dr. Wily's Castle that appears in the Super Smash Bros. games is the one from Mega Man 2, the most well-known game in the original series.
Overview
The main body of the stage is a flat body which fighters cannot go underneath, à la Yoshi's Story and Summit. There are two floating platforms at either side of the stage, suspended beyond the body of the stage. After a while, a rail, like the one from Mega Man 2's Crash Man stage or the fourth Skull Castle stage from the same game, will appear around the left platform, in a square figure-eight shape. The platform will presumably move around this rail. There may be more than one possible rail configuration.
At times, parts of the Yellow Devil will ascend from the background, then descend and reassemble on the stage. When the Yellow Devil is formed, it will attack the players with its own body until it is defeated by taking a sufficient amount of damage from the players, though only its eye is vulnerable. Once defeated, the Yellow Devil will explode, and this explosion will count as an attack for the player who landed the final blow.
