Mega Man Soccer ROM

Mega Man Soccer is a soccer game that allows the player to play as various characters from the Mega Man series including Mega Man, Proto Man, and several Robot Masters. The game features modes of play much like more traditional sports games, such as exhibition matches, tournaments, and leagues. The “Exhibition” mode lets the player play a single match with a team created using any of the game’s 20 characters on one of a dozen themed soccer fields. 

The “Capcom Championship” mode can be played either one-player or two-player cooperatively. For the first section of this mode, the player is given a team composed entirely of Mega Man robots, and is tasked with defeating eight teams of Robot Masters in an order of the player’s choosing. After beating each team, one member of a team joins the player’s team and can then be used, much like how Mega Man can gain the ability of a boss at end of each stage in other entries in the series. 

After all eight teams are defeated, the player has to defeat several other teams which are faced in a set order in the same way the stages taking place in Dr. Wily’s castle—the area that always followed the initial eight boss stages—occur in a set order in other Mega Man games. The “Tournament” and “League” modes allow one or two players to pick among nine teams and participate in a tiered schedule of games. Teams that neither player pick must simply be watched. Mega Man Soccer is set after Mega Man 4.

A televised soccer game is interrupted when an explosion occurs on the field. As the smoke clears, all the players are suddenly replaced with several of Dr. Wily’s Robot Masters. Having seen the events occur onscreen, the inventor Dr. Light sends his greatest creation, the hero Mega Man, along with some of his own Robot Masters to stop them. The game has no ending, but one is programmed in that is unused and inaccessible, which seemingly depicts Mega Man’s death.
