Wily & Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise



Wily and Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise (ワイリー & ライト の ロックボード: ザッツ☆パラダイス) is a board game similar to Monopoly, released only in Japan for the Famicom in 1993. It's possible for four players to play the game. Instead of dice, the player spins a roulette and gets a number between 1 to 8.

The players can choose to play with Dr. Light (yellow), Dr. Wily (black), Roll (pink), Dr. Cossack (blue) and Kalinka (red). The Robot Masters (including Mega Man) only appear in the cards, except for Guts Man, Shadow Man and Dust Man in special conditions. Each player starts with 2000 Zenny.

There are four boards: Green Continent, Cold Island, Continent of Sand and Megalopolis.

Squares

 * E Can: The initial position. When the player passes by it again, he/she receives a random reward.
 * Land: The "properties" squares. Can be bought and used to create building. If a player land in the property owned by another player, he has to pay a rental fee.
 * Card: A question mark. The player can draw a card.
 * Rush: A Rush face. Rush appears and uses the Rush Coil, sending the player to other Rush square.
 * Tunnel: A tunnel square. The player receives positive or negative bonuses.
 * Lottery: A bag with an arrow. The player can bet Zenny in a lottery.
 * Under Construction (工事中): A Met with a pickaxe. The player loses one turn.
 * Entertainment: A "property" with a Met. The player goes to a Met race mini-game where he/she and other two players bet in one of the three types of Mets racing (Metall DX, Metall Dance and Metall Swim), similar to a horse racing.
 * Transformation: A shadowy robot. The player turns in one Robot Master (Guts Man, Shadow Man or Dust Man) until he/she reach or pass this square again. The player will be unable to do some actions while in this form.

Trivia

 * Quick Man was planned to be used in the game as a playable character, similar to Guts Man and Shadow Man, but was removed before game release.
 * Graphics data exists for Drill Man, though he's nowhere to be found in-game. Based on tile positioning, he was likely planned as a Boss Card attack. A set of gold bars is set amongst Drill Man's graphic's, suggesting he'd have been used by players to dig for Zenny.
 * The boards from the game resembles real locations. Green Continent looks like South America, Continent of Sand looks like Africa, and Megalopolis looks like the continental United States. Cold Island is probably meant to look like Antarctica (rather appropriate).
 * "Mega Board" was planned to be released in USA, but the English version was eventually cancelled for unknown reasons. However, a fan translation patch was created to the game file.
 * Though scarely known, a true ending does exist in RockBoard. Playing under Battle Royal rules on the Megalopolis map, if the player has managed to gain control of roughly 75% of the board, they'll be treated to a brief credits sequence after the usual post-game standings. This is also the only part of the game where Mega Man actually makes a full appearance.
