Mega Man & Bass was released on the Super Famicom in 1998 as a Gaiden Game to Mega Man 8. It was only released in Japan under its Japanese title, Rockman & Forte, since the SNES was dead everywhere else in the world by that time. It was eventually ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2003 where it saw an international release.The robot leader King is leading a war against humanity. He plans to capture data from all the fighting robots he can find. He already ransacked Dr. Wily's lab and recruited two of his Mega Man 8 Robot Masters. With the other six Robot Masters under his command, King leads a vicious assault against the Robot Museum, hoping to find more data and troops for his army.Naturally, Mega Man is dispatched to fight King and halt the rampage. Dr. Wily doesn't like the new guy one bit, and dispatches his Dragon Bass to crush King's army. Mega Man and Bass form an uneasy alliance to handle the new guy, unaware that there is a reason for King’s Robot War and why Bass is helping Mega Man….You can choose to play the game as either character. Mega Man has the Charge Shot and slide. He is not very nimble but takes less damage from attacks. Bass has a Double Jump and a High Jump, as well as a dash function. He can also rapid-fire his Bass Buster in seven directions. However, he takes extra damage and his Bass Buster is relatively weak. Effectively, you choose tough stages or tough bosses based on your character. Also, the stages are tiered — you must fight Cold Man, Astro Man, or Ground Man first before more stages open up. Cold Man, weak to Lightning Bolt, gives Ice Wall Burner Man, weak to Ice Wall, gives Wave Burner Pirate Man, weak to Wave Burner, gives Remote Mine Ground Man, weak to Remote Mine, gives Spread Drill Tengu Man, weak to Spread Drill, gives Tengu Blade Magic Man, weak to Tengu Blade, gives Magic Card Astro Man, weak to Magic Card, gives Copy Vision Dynamo Man, weak to Copy Vision, gives Lightning BoltIn addition, there are 100 data CDs to be found. Each one provides a picture and some information on a Robot Master or character in the Mega Man (Classic) universe (up to Mega Man 8).The game also received a Japan-only follow-up for the WonderSwan called Mega Man & Bass: Challenger from the Future. | |

Shows Damage | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_15aed120 | comment |
Shows Damage: A couple of the bosses react to their weaknesses when they are in certain states of attack. Usually with a goofy look on their faces. Your reward for pushing Burner Man into the spikes is that the guy screams and grabs his butt and leaps back onto the arena. Slide through Magic Man with the Tengu Blade. His eyes bug out and some of his playing cards drop. If Pirate Man enters a bubble to Be the Ball, you can stop his rolling attack with Wave Burner. At this point, the bubble bursts and he flops to the floor, shocked. Stick a Remote Mine on Ground Man and watch him pop out of the floor or ceiling every time he tries to dig. Cold Man is a Warmup Boss because by the time he finishes bugging out from getting struck by a Lightning Bolt, you can fire another one. Tengu Man flops to the ground briefly when hit by the Spread Drill. | |

Ramming Always Works | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_3114c1e5 | comment |
Ramming Always Works: For one of his attacks, Pirate Man can create a bubble shield that surrounds his body and tries to ram Mega Man. Mega Man can use Wave Burner to pop the bubble and make Pirate Man stop, dealing extra damage to him. Mega Man can also just use his Mega Buster to destroy the bubble, but that is harder to do given that Pirate Man becomes harder to hit during his bubble attack. | |

Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Bass has this handicap in contrast to Mega Man. Bass has the advantage of a double jump, a dash move, and the ability to shoot diagonally out of the starting gate. But as a trade-off, he can't shoot while running (although he can while jumping), he takes twice as much damage, and his rapid-fire Bass Buster can't shoot through walls and is very weak against bosses. | |

Once you beat him, he retreats and combines with his Tank and Jet to form Perfect King. Defeating him there is what does King in, though it doesn't kill him, at least if Mega Man's your character. | |

Kaizo Trap: The boss of the first fortress stage. You must balance yourself on a pulley with the boss above an acid pit. Once your side is low enough, the boss will emerge and you can attack it. When you kill the boss, the platform you are on will sink instantly, and if you don't jump to safety, then you will burn in the pit as the boss dies. Strange, because during the fight itself, you will take damage instead. Inverted with King Jet. Once it starts smoking, feel free to leap into the bottomless pit to skip its defeat animation and respawn in the next part. Assuming you actually have any lives left. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Dynamo Man's resentment of humanity and primary motive for aiding King's army is that his unstable electromagnetic force field (courtesy of King tampering with him) makes it lethal for anyone to get close to him. As a result, the robot whose former job was giving tours of a power plant to schoolchildren is forced to live in solitude. Burner Man isn't much better. He was tricked into thinking he had to burn down a forest each day or else he'd explode. Sadly, this ended up enjoying the destruction he caused turning him into one of the bad guys. | |

Spikes of Doom | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_83308c12 | comment |
Spikes of Doom: Already plentiful throughout the game, but Burner Man has two pits that have these on the sides of his arena. Just like the Bottomless Pits in Tengu Man's stage, the left pit opens up at the start of Burner Man's fight, and the right closes up after Burner Man kisses his butt goodbye during the Boss Rush so Mega Man can escape the arena. | |

Logical Weakness | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_83641c73 | comment |
Logical Weakness: Cold Man is weak to Lightning Bolt because cold temperatures can increase conductivity. Ground Man is weak to the Remote Mine. Bombs can cause cave-ins. Or it can be a reference to landmines, which are used against tanks. Pirate Man is weak to the Wave Burner since bombs become unstable at high temperatures. Burner Man will take additional damage from Ice Walls since the cold can snuff out flames. Plus, it exploits Boss-Arena Idiocy. Tengu Man is weak to the Spread Drill to reference anti-air missiles. Plus, it references how rock beats scissors in real Rock-Paper-Scissors. Magic Man is weak to the Tengu Blade, especially the melee component, because he is themed after a deck of cards and one of the things you do to a deck of cards before dealing is "cut" it. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Many of the data CDs have rather nonsensical translations. For example, Pharaoh Man's Bad Point is translated as "Too nice to women" when it was originally "Weak to Beautiful Women", while Dr. Light's Bad Point is (rather infamously) a simple, contextless "Douchie" (which was supposed to be "naive"). Also from the same port is the instruction manual. Auto, Treble, and Proto Man are referred to by their Japanese names (Lightot, Gospel, and Blues), and "Wily" is misspelled "Wiley" as in the third game. | |

Mighty Glacier: Mega Man is this to Bass. He moves slow as molasses compared to the double jump and dash-equipped Bass, and can only shoot left or right. But his chargeable Mega Buster packs more of a wallop than the Bass Buster and can shoot through walls, and he's more resilient to damage. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Just like in Mega Man X, Bass can dash by pressing the dedicated dash button, or by double tapping forward. The Game Boy Advance port doesn't have such a button, so you must double tap. That split second will result in countless mistakes and deaths. Thankfully, Capcom would later remap the dash to Down + Jump in Mega Man 10, the same command for Mega Man and Proto Man's sliding. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: For Bass, the S. Buster part. Available after beating six bosses, it is effectively a souped up version of the C. Attack part (which increases your attack power when your health is low) that doubles the Bass Buster's attack power across the board as long as it's equipped. This even counts for bosses, letting you do two points of damage instead of one and outright obsoleting a couple of weaknesses (Astro Man and Dynamo Man's in particular). The closest thing that Mega Man has to an I+1 is the classic High Speed Charge, which, on top of what it says it does (reduce the amount of time needed for a Charge Shot), doesn't take up your equipped part slot, so you can use it with an equipped part like the S. Armor to bulk up on defense. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: Mega Man finds stages to be very difficult [[note]]very, very difficult due to his reduced mobility and trouble hitting annoying enemies. His enhanced defense and powerful Charge Shots gives him an advantage against bosses. Somewhat zig-zagged, though, as certain bosses can also give Bass a much easier time than Mega Man (for instance, Dynamo Man is much easier to handle, because Bass can shoot him while he heals while on the ground). | |

Easy Levels, Hard Bosses: Bass finds stages to be very easy because he can Double Jump over almost everything and he can shoot at the rest from angles Mega Man can't even dream of. Bosses are a pain because his rapid-fire Bass Buster deals one damage, then triggers the Boss's Mercy Invincibility. Although Dynamo Man proves a much easier target for Bass than Mega Man when he restores his stamina with a dynamo; Bass can just aim his Bass Buster towards him while Mega Man has to destroy the dynamo's cage from below to make Dynamo Man vulnerable to his Mega Buster. | |

Hijacked by Ganon: King eventually realizes his master and creator, Dr. Wily, lied to him about the nature of humanity. At this point, the good doctor shows up, ups King's brainwashing levels, and retreats to his fortress. | |

Dig Attack | |

Dig Attack: Ground Man can sometimes go into the ceiling of the cave he's in and attack you with large drills from above. | |

Continuity Cameo | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_de70f5a4 | comment |
Continuity Cameo: Astro Man and Tengu Man are bosses from Mega Man 8, although their attacks and patterns (and weapons) have changed. King uses the Gemini Laser from Mega Man 3 during the fight with him. Luckily, it doesn't hit as hard. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: This is already the hardest game in the series that prefers to teach by borderline (and sometimes explicit) Trial-and-Error Gameplay rather than play fair, but two things exacerbate this even further: playing as Mega Man, who the game and especially the King fights were not balanced in mind for as certain portions of the game become near-impossible, and playing the Game Boy Advance version of the game where the screen crunch turns already difficult sections into blind leaps of faith, and little to no time to react most moving obstacles and enemies before they're smacking you in the face. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: On Bass' side of the story, he'll lash out at his creator Dr. Wily for why he started this wild goose chase in the first place, and for openly stating he'll put a Restraining Bolt on Bass after King's defeat and Heel–Face Turn. | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: In Bass's previous appearances (as well as his playable stint in The Power Battle and The Power Fighters), the Bass Buster functioned identically to the Mega Buster. To differentiate Bass from Mega Man (and make things fair considering his vastly superior mobility), his Buster was drastically altered, which stuck for Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future and Mega Man 10. | |

Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_e658f2a8 | comment |
Death Dealer: Magic Man's weapon, the Magic Card. His cards have Life Drain. Your Magic Card can grab power-ups and shoot through walls. The Magic Card is also Dr. Wily's weakness in the final battle. | |

Screen Crunch | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_f453e39e | comment |
Screen Crunch: The GBA port did nothing to account for the lower resolution, making an already Nintendo Hard game even harder now that you could barely see what was ahead. Or above. Or below. In particular, Tengu Man's stage (already That One Level in the original) became absurdly cheap in the port. | |

Right Makes Might | |
Mega Man & Bass (Video Game) / int_f4cc3a09 | comment |
Right Makes Might: Proto Man gives Bass a lecture during his ending that is pretty much this. He says that Mega Man will always be the better fighter because he fights for a just cause, while Bass only fights to satisfy his ego. This echoes a similar statement Proto Man makes in their shared ending from Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. | |

This Is a Drill: Ground Man uses the Spread Drill, which can bisect twice to cover a lot of room. He will also drill into the ceiling, dig above you, and then drop a MASSIVE drill from above on you. He can even transform into a Drill Tank. | |

Attack Drone: Copy Vision creates a duplicate that fires shots in straight line. It is also a decoy, as enemies will aim at the copy instead of you. Doubles as Doppelgänger Attack. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight: King's Tower Shield is indestructible. The first phase of the fight involves waiting him out and dodging his attacks. Finally, Proto Man shows up and destroys the shield with his strongest attack to give you a fighting chance. | |
