Classic 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.

Modes

Megaman Classic Series

Mega Man: Curiously, this tradition is very irregular in the first game, where the six bosses are divided into two groups:

• 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.

But, in subsequent games, this will be formalized.

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 byDr. 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.
