Boss Rush

A Boss Rush, or boss rematch, is a video game term used to refer for the moment when the player has to fight again against the bosses of their respective game. This has become a tradition in most Mega Man games, although its form change through the years. Normally, such fights are held in a single room, but in few cases, the fights are given in random appearances through the final stages.

Megaman Classic Series
Mega Man: Curiously, this tradition is very irregular in the first game, where the six bosses are divided into two groups: But, in subsequent games, this will be formalized.
 * The first are conformed for Cut Man and Elec Man, in the second Wily Castle.
 * The second; for Bomb Man, Fire Man , Ice Man and Guts Man, in the Final Stage.

Mega Man 2 - 6:From this point, the Boss Rush be played in a closed room with a Teleport System.

The Wily Teleport System is a Computer Program developed by Dr. Wily to transport Megaman to 8 differents locations, where resides a Robot Master as a guardian.

The concept of the need to return to fight with them is that each capsule is a lock or block to the Wily`s Room. For that reason, Megaman must fight or else remains trapped in the room. -                  -                      | A |                   | D | -                  -                                   |M| -                  -                      | B |                   | E | -                  -                      -   -   -   -                      | C |   | G |   | H |   | F | -  -   -   - (The letters represent to Robots Masters) (The M means the Megaman Position)
