His first and only major appearance was in the 1993 comic "[[Super Mario: Die Verwandlung]]", where he serves as Dr. Light's assistant. Toward the beginning Mega Man is the one that lets Mario into Dr. Light's home and guides him to his lab, making fun of Mario wearing a plastic bag to cover his pixelated head. Later, when Dr. Light confuses Mario's pixels for pimples, Mega Man appears and recommends "Oil of Mega Man". Finally, when Wario breaks out of the lab, Mega Man is the one driving the car they are chasing him in. | His first and only major appearance was in the 1993 comic "[[Super Mario: Die Verwandlung]]", where he serves as Dr. Light's assistant.

Mega Man's appearance and aesthetics in this game are based on his appearance in the NES titles, possessing a moveset centered around shooting at his opponents; he can use the Mega Buster to fire multiple single shots as his standard attack, which can be used while both walking and jumping, and use the Charge Shot as a side smash attack. His only direct attacks are the slide as his strong down attack, which made its debut in ''Mega Man 3'', and the Mega Upper as his strong up, a move introduced in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'' which later appeared in ''Marvel vs. Capcom''. | Mega Man's appearance and aesthetics in this game are based on his appearance in the NES titles, possessing a moveset centered around shooting at his opponents; he can use the Mega Buster to fire multiple single shots as his standard attack, which can be used while both walking and jumping, and use the Charge Shot as a side smash attack.

*In the character's backstory, the housekeeping robot was originally named Rock before being converted into the super fighting robot, Mega Man, as stated in the introduction to ''Mega Man 4''; however, in the American English version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Dr. Light's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description instead suggests that he was formerly known as Mega, a nickname initially used for his fighting robot form in the {{wp|Mega Man (1994 TV series)|''Mega Man'' animated series}} produced by {{wp|Ruby-Spears}}, and later for the housekeeping form in the {{wp|PlayStation Portable}} remake ''{{wp|Mega Man Powered Up}}''. The latter instance is considered a localization error as Mega does not match his sister Roll (as in {{wp|rock and roll}}), and is corrected to Rock in the British English version. | *In the character's backstory, the housekeeping robot was originally named Rock before being converted into the super fighting robot, Mega Man, as stated in the introduction to ''Mega Man 4''; however, in the American English version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Dr. Light's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description instead suggests that he was formerly known as Mega, a nickname initially used for his fighting robot form in the {{wp|Mega Man (1994 TV series)|''Mega Man'' animated series}} produced by {{wp|Ruby-Spears}}, and later for the housekeeping form in the {{wp|PlayStation Portable}} remake ''{{wp|Mega Man Powered Up}}''.
