MegaMan.EXE (ロックマン.EXE, Rockman.EXE) is a protagonist of the Mega Man Battle Network sub-series of the Mega Man universe.

Origin

MegaMan.EXE is a character from the Mega Man Battle Network series of games, an alternate continuity to the "classic" Mega Man games. In this universe, scientist Tadashi Hikari created several breakthroughs in computer science, leading to a society fully integrated with the internet. Tadashi's grandson, Lan Hikari, now lives with the fruits of this labor. This includes a personal NetNavi — a program companion with its own personality — named MegaMan. While attending middle school, Lan and MegaMan bust Viruses across the internet and come into conflict with cyber crime syndicates such as WWW. Through these adventures, it is eventually revealed that MegaMan is actually Lan's twin brother Hub. His soul was uploaded into cyberspace by their father, Yuichiro Hikari, after Hub contracted a terminal illness known as HBD and died shortly after birth. Due to this spiritual connection, the two make an amazing team, seeing as they almost never lose a NetBattle. They have saved humanity on multiple occasions, defeating reckless criminal organizations, cryptic net beasts, and even extraterrestrial threats.

Assist role

As a costume

MegaMan.EXE also returns as a Mii Gunner costume. He is available for purchase as part of Round 5 of Mii Costumes, and appears unchanged from the Smash 4 version of the costume.

Spirit

MegaMan.EXE also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Legend-class primary spirit.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, MegaMan.EXE is one of countless spirits initially captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. He falls under Dharkon's control after Galeem's defeat. His spirit is located in the northern area of The Dark Realm, and will not appear on the Spirit Board or the Vault Shop until unlocked in this mode. He is one of the spirits that can unlock the Base sub-dungeon's entrance.

MegaMan.EXE's Spirit Battle uses three Mega Man puppet fighters and is fought on the Hanenbow stage's Battlefield form. During the battle, the floor is electrified, while the Mega Man fighters each use a neutral or side smash attack, start off with a Bob-omb, or start off with a Beam Sword, each referencing the shooting-type, bomb-type, and sword-type Battle Chip programs that can be installed in the Mega Man Battle Network series.

Trivia

• In Super Smash Bros. 4, MegaMan.EXE doesn't wear his mask in battle as he does in Mega Man Battle Network.
• As part of Mega Legends, MegaMan.EXE is the only Mega Man to have his arm cannon on his right hand. This maintains consistency with his right-facing appearance in the Mega Man Battle Network games.
• In his reveal teaser for Ultimate, the battle is enacted similarly to his own series with him being on the left, enemy on the right, and neither of them crossing the line.
  • During the battle, he uses the Beam Sword to do a large slash, which is a reference to Life Sword, a powerful attack MegaMan.EXE can use.
• MegaMan.EXE's spirit is the only spirit capable of unlocking the Base sub-dungeon's entrance that cannot be used to do so during an initial playthrough. It must be unlocked through an encounter in the Dark Realm, which can only be accessed after already unlocking Base's entrance.
