Mega Man: The Wily Wars, released in Japan as Rockman Mega World (ロックマン メガワールド, Rokkuman Megawārudo) is a video game compilation from Capcom containing remakes of the first three games in the Mega Man series. It is the only Mega Man game to be released for the Mega Drive/Genesis. It was only released on cartridge in Japan and Europe. The US version was an exclusive game for the Sega Channel service.
The compilation features an upgrade to the original games' visuals, as well as arranged music. An important change is that the compilation provides battery back-up for each game. As a result, is possible to continue Mega Man from a later point in the game, though Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 lost the password feature. Other changes include the removal of several glitches found in the original games and the lack of difficulty levels in Mega Man 2 (the game is set to "Difficult" by default).
Upon completion of all three games, the cartridge also features an exclusive game mode, called "Wily Tower". In this mode, Mega Man travels through three different stages fighting new Robot Master, which after being defeated, the player finally faces Wily in the titular tower. Wily Tower requires the player to arm Mega Man with eight of any weapons and three of any support items from the first three games to proceed.
