Originally created to be Light's lab assistant, [[Dr. Wily]] taking over most of Light's robots led Mega Man to be converted into a battle robot to fight Wily, and stop him from taking over the world as well as achieve everlasting peace.

Mega Man's first appearance in first-party ''Super Mario''-related media is as a playable guest character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', as well as the third third-party character to be confirmed as a playable character in the series.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Mega Man returns as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His Final Smash now incorporates Proto Man and Bass, but otherwise functions the same as before. His Mega Buster can fire farther than the previous installment, improving some of his moves.  

=====Metal Blade=====

'''{{fandom|megaman|Metal Blade}}''' is Mega Man's standard special move, originating from ''{{wp|Mega Man 2}}'' as the weapon obtained by defeating {{fandom|megaman|Metal Man}}. When used, Mega Man throws a metal sawblade that deals little damage at opponents. Like the game of origin the Metal Blade can be thrown in eight directions by tapping the control stick in the corresponding direction after pressing the special attack button, but only one can be thrown at a time. The Metal Blade also acts like an item in that other players can pick up and throw a Metal Blade.

=====Crash Bomber=====

'''{{fandom|megaman|Crash Bomber}}''' is Mega Man's side special move. Originally {{fandom|megaman|Crash Man}}'s weapon from ''Mega Man 2'', it can be used by holding the control stick to the sides and pressing the special attack button. When used, Mega Man fires a bomb that travels across the screen. When it hits an opponent or a wall, it behaves like a [[Gooey Bomb]], sticking to them for a few seconds before detonating; it can also be passed to other players by running into them. Mega Man can only shoot one Crash Bomber at a time.

=====Rush Coil=====

'''{{fandom|megaman|Rush Coil}}''' is Mega Man's up special move. First appearing as one of {{fandom|megaman|Rush}}'s abilities in ''Mega Man 3'', it has since become a staple throughout the classic ''Mega Man'' series. When used, Mega Man summons Rush to launch him into the air using a spring on his back. If Rush is summoned on the ground, Mega Man can spring off of him a second time for a second, higher jump; however, other fighters may also jump on Rush while he is summoned.

=====Leaf Shield=====

'''{{fandom|megaman|Leaf Shield}}''' is Mega Man's down special move, originally appearing as {{fandom|megaman|Wood Man}}'s special weapon in ''Mega Man 2''. When used, Mega Man creates a barrier of four leaves around himself that can protect him for a limited time. Like in the game of origin, Mega Man can also throw the shield to attack opponents. When the barrier is attacked, the leaves disappear one at a time.

=====Mega Legends=====

[[File:SSBU Mega Legends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Mega Legends in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Mega Legends''' is Mega Man's [[Final Smash]]. After breaking a [[Smash Ball]] and activating the Final Smash, Mega Man fires a {{fandom|megaman|Black Hole Bomb}}, {{fandom|megaman|Galaxy Man}}'s weapon from ''{{wp|Mega Man 9}}'', which travels across the screen and opens automatically once it reaches a short distance. The Black Hole is wide and draws in opponents, but if no opponents are in range, the attack fails. The trapped opponents are brought to a cutscene where Mega Man, {{fandom|megaman|Mega Man X (character)|Mega Man X}}, {{fandom|megaman|Mega Man Volnutt|MegaMan Volnutt}}, {{fandom|megaman|MegaMan.EXE}}, and {{fandom|megaman|Star Force Mega Man}} fire a continuous stream of lasers at the opponents, dealing massive damage. At the end of the attack, the opponents are launched and Mega Man returns to the battlefield. Additionally, if the opponents have taken enough damage, the Black Hole launches them instantly without going through the cutscene.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===

By scanning the Mega Man [[amiibo]] on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]] or the right Joy-Con / [[Nintendo Switch]] Pro Controller's NFC reader while playing ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' respectively, a special [[Mii]] racing suit designed after the character will be unlocked. A sample of this suit is shown right next to a picture of Mega Man on the Mii Racing Suits screen, which is located in the main menu of the game; thus, Mega Man makes his first cameo appearance within a ''Super Mario'' game. In ''Mario Kart 8'', this costume is only available as of version 4.0.
