Appearance in Japan

Appearance in Japan is the first of the three episode from the cartoon Mega Man: Upon a Star.

Summary
Young Yuuta Kobayashi stays up late playing Mega Man 5 on his N.E.S. and falls asleep, his fingers hitting the "pause" button as he does so. Inside the game, Mega Man is frozen in place as Dr. Wily sees that there is (somehow) a portal to our world and jumps out of the game. When Yuuta and his sister Akane wake up, Mega Man and Rush jump out of the game and go after Wily, who now plans on taking over a whole new world. Along the way, Mega Man learns about Japan from his new human friend, but soon finds himself face-to-face with Dr. Wily and his deadly creation: a giant Samurai robot!

Trivia

 * The game Yuuta plays is Mega Man 5. The music that plays while he is playing is Star Man's stage music (and Mega Man defeats Star Man in the game as well).

The look of the unit is similar to the SNES's in that the game pak loads up top and the controler scheme is identical.
 * The Nintendo unit that Yuuta is using may look different to you. That is really the second version of the console that was released in 1992, shortly after the Super N.E.S. was released.


 * Rush actually speaks like an ordinary human being in this episode!


 * The concept of this episode and the others in this series is similar to the concept of the movie Last Action Hero, where the action hero (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) could jump out of the movie and into the "Real World".


 * The only Robot Masters to appear in this episode are from Mega Man 5.


 * The Mets from the games make an appearance.


 * In the Japanese version, all the characters were referred to by their American names.
