MEGA MAN X
| MAVERICK | WEAKNESS | EXPLANATION |
|---|---|---|
| Chill Penguin | Fire Wave | Fire melts ice. |
| Spark Mandrill | Shotgun Ice | Cold temperatures and water are not healthy for electrical components. |
| Armored Armadillo | Electric Spark | Armored Armadillo's shell may be made of metal, which conducts electricity. |
| Launch Octopus | Rolling Shield | Launch Octopus fires a lot of projectiles, so of course, you would use a shield weapon. |
| Boomer Kuwanger | Homing Torpedo | Boomer Kuwanger moves extremely fast, so using a weapon that homes in on him makes sense. He also has a lanky frame, so he might not fare too well with explosives. |
| Sting Chameleon | Boomerang Cutter | The Boomerang Cutter cuts his tongue. |
| Storm Eagle | Chameleon Sting | Storm Eagle flies, and by stinging him, you may poison him, which could affect his ability to fly. |
| Flame Mammoth | Storm Tornado | Wind displaces oxygen, which puts out fires. |
MEGA MAN X2
| MAVERICK | WEAKNESS | EXPLANATION |
|---|---|---|
| Wire Sponge | Sonic Slicer | You disable wires by cutting them. Sponges are soft and vulnerable to being cut. |
| Wheel Gator | Strike Chain | Probably a reference to chains getting caught up in moving machine parts. |
| Bubble Crab | Spin Wheel | Sharp things pop bubbles, also watch this video to see why crabs are weak to sharp things (NSFL WARNING). |
| Flame Stag | Bubble Splash | Water puts out fire. |
| Morph Moth | Speed Burner | Moths are attracted to flames because of the light. Morph Moth throws garbage at you, which is sometimes destroyed by incineration. |
| Magna Centipede | Silk Shot | Magna Centipede is computer-themed, while Morph Moth is based on a moth, which makes dust. Dust is bad for computers. |
| Crystal Snail | Magnet Mine | Crystal Snail's shell may be made of metal, which would attract a magnet. Also, centipedes eat snails. |
| Overdrive Ostrich | Crystal Hunter | Someone who loves to go fast would hate a weapon that freezes them in place. |
MEGA MAN X3
| MAVERICK | WEAKNESS | EXPLANATION |
|---|---|---|
| Toxic Seahorse | Frost Shield | Freezing someone whose whole shtick is turning into liquid isn't healthy for them. |
| Tunnel Rhino | Acid Burst | Acid corrodes metal excavation equipment. Impact Man in Mega Man 11 has a similar weakness to acid (just an observation). |
| Volt Catfish | Tornado Fang | Tornadoes (storms in general) can cause power outages. |
| Crush Crawfish | Triad Thunder | Might be a reference to cooking crawfish alive with an electric heater. Poor bastards. |
| Neon Tiger | Spinni |
I know the What If trend kinda died out but Iβm just curious

| Guts Man | Time Slow | Slowing down time makes picking up heavy objects even more strenuous and tedious. |
MEGA MAN 2
| ROBOT MASTER | WEAKNESS | EXPLANATION |
|---|---|---|
| Bubble Man | Metal Blade | Sharp objects break through the surface tension of bubbles and pop them. |
| Heat Man | Bubble Lead | Bubbles are made of water, which puts out fire. |
| Wood Man | Atomic Fire | Fire burns wood and leaves. |
| Air Man | Leaf Shield | Leaves clog up Air Man's fan. |
| Crash Man | Air Shooter | Air can blow something towards a crash. |
| Flash Man | Crash Bomb | Flash Man, having control over time, doesnβt like the idea of time bombs that explode outside of his control. |
| Quick Man | Time Stopper | Quick Man loves to move fast, so of course stopping him in his tracks is the best idea. |
| Metal Man | Quick Boomerang | Quick Boomerangs are smaller and more rapidly firing than Metal Man's Metal Blades, meaning you can outgun him. |
MEGA MAN 3
| ROBOT MASTER | WEAKNESS | EXPLANATION |
|---|---|---|
| Top Man | Hard Knuckle | You use your hands to stop a moving top. |
| Shadow Man | Top Man | Shadow Man is a ninja who uses skill and strategy to take out his foes. Top Spin is the exact opposite of that, so it confuses him. |
| Spark Man | Shadow Blade | Blades cut electrical wires. |
| Magnet Man | Spark Shock | Electricity disrupts magnetic fields. |
| Hard Man | Magnet Missile | Hard Man is coated in solid metal, which |
I would say any Maverick that moves quickly and jumps around the stage as it messes with my eyes and makes the screen temporarily blurry =p.

Mega Man X was released in 1993 for the Super Famicom in Japan. In this action/platform game, developed by Capcom, when the Mega Man series made the technological leap from NES to Super Nintendo, so too did Mega Man himself. Set one hundred years after the original hero's adventures, Mega Man X stars a more powerful generation of robot known as X who - along with the maverick Zero - must take on a new threat: the reploids.

Mario Party 2 was released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 in Japan. In this party game, developed by Hudson Soft, what do you do when your first party is a raging success? You throw another one, of course! Mario and all of his famous friends have long since RSVP'd for Mario Party 2, so you'd be a fool to miss this fiesta. Like the original Mario Party, this star-studded sequel allows up to four players to compete in exciting interactive board games packed with surprises.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer was released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color in PAL territories. In this racing game, developed by Pax Softnica, entirely different gameplay from its console and PC counterparts feature. The Game Boy Color hardware is technically incapable of rendering the 3D graphics used in the other versions, so the game was instead based on abbreviated tracks with an overhead 2D view. It also has an additional "Rumble" feature, in which a AAA battery may be inserted into the game card to activate vibration.

What are you favourite memories of these games? How do you think they hold up today? Hash it out in the comments.
(I am a bot. I think that I'm posting Nintendo events from this day in history, but if I've made a mistake or omission please leave a comment tagging /u/KetchupTheDuck).
I liked Lumine stage in mmx8 and Flame Hyenard ( I know, i liked the chaos ) mmx7.
For the classic series I liked Crash Man and Bubble Man's stage
I have always been entranced by megaman, but couldn't get into it. Right now i want to get into megaman x which one should i start with?
X5 is the only main X game I havenβt played in some way. The whole time limit thing in order to get an ending always bothered me/anxiety.
Is there a way to go about the game that the time limit isnβt a big deal? Am I making a bigger deal of it than it is?
Both at their strongest who wins ?
