I've been a fan of Gordon Ramsay since he started his television career with "Boiling Point." He has been a star ever since.

The Plot

After two wars with Mega Man, Dr. Wily has seemingly had enough and is seemingly willing to reform and give up his wicked ways. He then collaborates with Dr. Light to build Gamma, a peacekeeping robots. They send eight robot masters to eight planets to mine elements to help build Gamma. The new robot masters are Shadow Man, Spark Man, Gemini Man, Magnet Man, Needle Man, Top Man, Snake Man and Hard Man. Everything seems to be fine until the eight robot masters go haywire.

What is going on? Is this a mere coincidence or is someones sinister plot unfolding? Mega Man goes to the eight planets to investigate.

To add to this is the mysterious Break Man. He appears out of nowhere and challenges Mega Man on several occasions. Who is he? What is his agenda?

Concept of the Game

The game continues to be a platformer with the rock-paper-scissors concept where each robot master is vulnerable and resistant to certain weapons in your arsenal. Your capacity for energy tanks has increased from four to nine. You now also can slide under obstacles and in order to avoid getting hit. You now also have a robot dog named Rush to help you in your adventures. Rush can transform into a spring, a jet and a submarine. You can also save your progress through a password.
