Mega Man's Soccer

Mega Man's Soccer, named Mega Man Soccer in the American box art, known in Japan as Rockman's Soccer (ロックマンズサッカー), is a soccer game released by Capcom for the SNES in 1994. This is the first game in the classic Mega Man series to appear on the SNES.

Story
A few months had passed since the battle with Dr. Cossack in Mega Man 4. One day, Mega Man, Roll, and Dr. Light are watching a game of soccer on TV, when suddenly, robots take over the field. Soccer fields all over the world were thrown into chaos! Familiar enemy robots restored by Dr. Wily were running out into the field and ruining soccer games. To deal with this emergency situation, Dr. Light modified Mega Man and sent him to make things right, saving soccer and the dreams of those who love the sport by playing soccer against Dr. Wily's robots.

Mega Man's Soccer doesn't have a ending and the player returns to the title screen after completing the game, but it contains an unused ending and credits sequence in the game. They are only accessible through a cheat device.

Game modes
The game has four modes:
 * Exhibition: Free play mode that allows the player to choose his team members and field.
 * Capcom Championship: The story mode. Mega Man must defeat eight teams in any order, and after defeating all of them, he goes to the Wily Castle and faces Enker, Proto Man and Dr. Wily.
 * Tournament: A tournament between eight teams. The winner continues to a tournament against the teams of Enker, Proto Man, and Dr. Wily.
 * League: A league with eight teams.

Playable characters
Each Robot Master uses a special ability with the ball. Dr. Wily is only playable in Elec Man's and Dust Man's teams from League Mode.

Teams
* One member from each team defeated by Mega Man in Capcom Championship joins his team, having up to 10 reserve players.

Trivia

 * An early sketch from Rockman's Soccer shows that Guts Man was once planned for the game. He was replaced with Proto Man on the cover art.


 * The Japanese version of this game is the only instance of Bomb Man being referred to as "Bomberman" within a game. Bomb Man's Japanese name is literally translated as "Bomberman", though he is still commonly referred to as "Bomb Man" in Japan.


 * This game marks the only time that a Mega Man Killer (Enker) would appear as a playable character, and the only time one would appear as a character outside of the Game Boy series until Mega Man 10. Enker would also appear as a card in Rockboard, and all Mega Man Killers appear as Data CDs in Mega Man & Bass.
 * The stage select screen has similar music to the stage select screen in Mega Man 5. The screen after selecting a stage where it shows the robot master also has similar music to the same type of screen in Mega Man 5.
