Overview
Full name: Mega Man 7

Japanese name: Rockman 7: Destiny's Greatest Battle! ロックマン 7: 宿命の対決!

In the closing of Mega Man 6, Dr. Wily was put in jail. What Mega Man didn't know, was that Dr. Wily has robots hidden somewhere is his lab. After six months without Dr. Wily's input, the robots would activate, and search for Dr. Wily.

The Robots gave a city a surprising attack, looking for their master. Mega Man and Dr. Light watch the robots help Dr. Wily escape from a far distance. Mega Man goes out to stop Dr. Wily. Along the way, He encountered Bass, a humanoid robot, and Treble, his mean robotic wolf. They are also trying to stop Dr. Wily. The battle began...

Actual Story
Six months after Dr. Wily's imprisonment (sometime in the year 2013), four robots that had been hidden away in his lab activated and broke him out of prison and began to wreak havoc in the city. Mega Man went to investigate and, upon his arrival, met up with the mysterious Bass and Treble, a robot and his dog who appeared to be after Wily as well. After defeating the four Robot Masters, Mega Man returned to Light Labs, only to find that Wily attacked the Robot Master Museum and stole a copy of Guts Man. Then, four more Robot Masters attacked. In the attack, Bass was damaged (by Shade Man), so Mega Man sent him to Dr. Light for repairs. However, when he returned to the lab, the lab was badly damaged, and Dr. Wily appeared on the screen to mock them and announce that Bass and Treble were his creation. Mega Man set out for Wily's lab to get his revenge. In the end, he defeated Bass and Treble and crushed Wily, but when Wily begged once again, Megaman debated internally whether or not he should kill Wily. Before he could decide, however, Bass and Treble came and rescued Wily, with Bass stating "He who hesitates is lost".

Code
There is a code that allows you to play the eight robot masters in any order. Unfortunately, this code doesn't work in the Anniversary addition. The code is 1755-8187-6486-2322. However, the code to bring you to the last level of the game still works.

Trivia

 * Although we stated that he decided whenever or not he should kill wily, in truth, Mega Man acctualy wanted to kill Wily (according to the U.S. version of the game). But he did hesitate at the end, having Bass and Tremble to rescue Wily. Some Fans thought the end gave Mega Man more of a serious action-like feel to him, since we know the Blue bomber as a pacifist, but other fans felt it was not in Mega Man's character and it lead to an unexplainable ending that was the first Clift hanger in the series.
