Mega-Pinocchio

Mega-Pinocchio is an episode from the Mega Man animated series. The episode was written by Michael Maurer.

Summary
After saving an interesting scientist named Dr. Petto, Mega Man gets offered the chance to be transformed into a real human. While it's a very far-fetched idea, Mega Man is compelled by it and takes Dr. Petto up on the offer.

Little does Mega know that "Dr. Petto" was really a robot created by Dr. Wily. Wily implants a mind control chip in Mega Man's head and uses him to do his dirty work. And there's nothing Mega Man can do to resist his orders.

Robot Master Appearances: Ring Man, Magnet Man, Spark Man, Crash Man

Trivia

 * The name "Doctor Petto" comes right from the name of Geppetto, the builder and father of Pinocchio. Also, the title and the story of the episode are based on Pinocchio.


 * The scene where Dr. Light, Roll and Rush are in the trash compactor is reminiscent of a similar scene in the original Star Wars movie. This could be a reference to that scene.


 * The only appearance of Crash Man and Magnet Man in the entire series.


 * Also making an appearance in this episode is the Lincoln Memorial, showing that the final battle of this episode took place in Washington, D.C.
 * Everyone apart from Dr. Petto says Petto's name like Dr. Pedo.

Quotes

 * Dr. Wily: "You feel all mushy unt tingly inside!"


 * Mega Man (perfectly replicating Wily): "... I feel all mushy, unt tingly inside."


 * Mega Man: "Oh no! He's gonna blast president Lincoln!" (Mega Man jumps in front of Lincoln's statue to protect it from Proto Man's shot)
 * Proto Man: "Ha! I knew you'd risk yourself for mister Lincoln."
