The Day the Moon Fell

The Day The Moon Fell is the 15th episode of the Mega Man animated series.

Summary
Dr. Wily steals a tachyon capacitor and uses it in his latest invention to pull the Moon closer to the Earth's surface. This results in several weather outbreaks like tornadoes, earthquakes and massive rain storms. But, the capacitor was actually a joint invention of Dr. Wily's and Dr. Light's from long before Proto Man, Mega Man and Roll were created, and now Mega Man has to get it back before the entire world is devastated by Dr. Wily's sickening plan.

Robot Master appearances: Dark Man, Quick Man, Shadow Man

Trivia

 * Dr. Light's younger self looks a lot like the Nintendo character Mario.
