Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who designed the Robot Master Centaur Man?

Answer: Kazuki Kidoguchi

Here are the design credits for the Robot masters. Hirofumi Ogawa designed Blizzard Man. Centaur Man was designed by Kazuki Kidoguchi. Flame Man was designed by Noritsugu Kurokawa. Knight Man was designed by Daniel Vallie. Plant Man was designed by Nobuhiro Hoshino. Tomahawk Man was designed by Yoshinobu Suda. Wind Man was designed by Michael Leader. Yamato Man was designed by Rai Ichikawa .

2. What is Dr. Wily's fate at the end of "Mega Man VI"?

Answer: He's imprisoned.

Dr. Wily goes to prison. Finally, after six games, he is finally finished. Not so fast. Just as the credits finish, we get the message "To be continued", meaning Dr. Wily isn't finished with terrorizing Mega Man yet.

Answer: Plant Man

Capcom designe some of the Dr. Wily stages around the Rush Adapter. However, you have only a very limited amount of time when you use the adapter, unlike "Super Mario Bros. 3", wheren you get several seconds to fly.

4. After you clear a stage, one of three graphical states appear where the Robot Master's head was previously. Which of the following is NOT one of the three icons?

Answer: Energy Tank

A 1-up icon indicates you have cleared the board and there is nothing to find. Four of the levels houses a different letter. When assembled, these letters spell "Beat", for Beat the Bird. If you have gotten a letter from one of the four stages then that letter will appear. If nothing appears in the title screen, it means you are missing a letter.

The blank field only appears on the four Robot Masters that has a hidden letter on their board.

Answer: False

Beginning with "Mega Man II", Capcom had contests in Japan for players to design Robot Masters. There are several Robot Masters in the six NES titles that Japanese players designed.

6. Each Robot Master is assigned a number, supposedly in the order in which Dr. Wily and Dr. Light created them. What's Tomahawk Man's number?

Answer: 46

Proto Man is 000, as he is a prototype. Mega Man is 001. The eight Robot Masters are in "Mega Man VI" range from 31 to 49 (for example, Plant Man is 45).

Answer: Plant Man

Thankfully, unlike the first game, when you kill the robot masters they give you energy. That way, you don't have to fight all eight robot masters with only one health meter.

Answer: Michael Leader

Michael Leader desigend Wind Man and Daniel Vallee designed Knight Man. Chris Hoolihan is a contestant winner who has a top secret rupee room in the classic "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past". Daniel Owsen is a Nintendo employee who largely worked in translation, and is credited for translating "Link the the Past" and several other "Zelda" and "Metroid" titles.

He also voiced this intro line from "Super Metroid": "The last Metroid is in captivity... The galaxy is at peace."

Answer: Seven

In Issue 58, "Mega Man VI" placed fifth in the charts. In Issue 61, the game placed fourth. In 62, it placed the highest it would ever achieve at second place. The in Issues 63, 65, 66, and 67, it placed third. In Issues 59, 60, and 64 the game did not chart in the Top Five.

Answer: Nara Prefecture

The word "Yamoto" often has connotations of "home" in Japanese culture. It is a common word used for various elements in the culture, including battles ships and, well, Robot Masters. The fact Capcom chose this name as a Robot Master shows you how much Japanese culture influences video games. Yamaguchi, Akita, and Fukushima are also provinces.
