PC and console differences
* The
Robot Master s' designs have been criticized as being subtle (some blatant) copies of other Robot Masters from the previous series with only minor retouchesFact|date=August 2007:
**Blade Man appears as though he is a purple Metal Man with a spear.
**Bit Man appears to be a portmanteau of both Hard Man and Crash Man, having nearly the exact same face as Hard Man, with arms bearing resemblance to Crash Man.
**Torch Man appears to be a crimson Magnet Man without the magnet on his forehead.
**Wave Man appears nearly identical to Air Man, with six turrets in a hexagonal formation replacing the fan.
**Oil Man appears to be a crimson Flash Man, with a spout at the top of his head.
**Shark Man appears to be a blue and gray Snake Man with a shark's head.
*Some of the Robot Master's names appear in other Mega Man games, but that is the only connection:
**Another Robot Master also named Wave Man had appeared in "Mega Man 5 ".
** Oil Man was later reintroduced in "Mega Man Powered Up ".
** "Torch Man" ends up being the English edited name for FireMan.EXE in the "MegaMan NT Warrior " anime series.
** "Shark Man" appears as aNet Navi in the "Mega Man Battle Network " videogames.
* In this game, Mega Man swims rather than walking along the bottom of the water. This would later be a feature of "Mega Man 8 ".
