Reggae (レゲー Regē) is a bird support robot created by Dr. Wily to make company for him when he was feeling lonely[1]. However, Reggae is very noisy and often annoys Dr. Wily as he constantly laughs at the scientist's blunders. Reggae is based on an Oriental Stork.[2]
Appearances
Reggae's cameo appearance on Mega Man 7's "Password Error" screen.
His main purpose is to laugh at the player, appearing to the player that loses in Wily and Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise and when an invalid password is inserted in Mega Man 7. There is also a card of him in RockBoard that has various aleatory negative effects, like increasing the prices from properties, taking away Zenny from the player or destroying a building.
In Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha Reggae can be bought from the item shop and when used, he will give Bass healing items similar to Eddie.
In the game Mega Man 10, Reggae has his own store and sells items and upgrades to Bass.
