Showdown at Red Gulch

Near the Wild Western-themed town of Red Gulch, Dr. Wily discovers a meteor with crystals that can apparently make normal robots super-powered robots! However, the crystals also have an unexpected side effect of overloading the circuits on the robots using them after a random period of time. This dangerous turn makes Mega Man's job easier... or does it?

Fun Facts
The face-off between Mega Man and ProtoMan with Wily's Bots was a tip of the hat to the old spaghetti western movies.

If you listen carefully to the beginning of that scene, Mega Man tries to sound like Clint Eastwood.

The meteorite in this episodes boasts surprising similarities to Force Metal from Mega Man X: Command Mission, in that they both came from space and super-powered robots at the cost of causing damage to them. It's unknown (and somewhat unlikely) that Capcom drew the idea of Force Metal from this episode.
