| − | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', he appears as Mega Man's up special move. Like in the original games, when Mega Man jumps over him, he gains a very high altitude upon jumping. However, unlike in the games, he can be used mid-air, so he can be used as a recovery move, and it doesn't leave Mega Man [http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Helpless helpless] upon using it. Bouncing off him a second time makes Mega Man jump higher. Opponents can also jump over him, even when mid-air. After a while, Rush teleports away, and can be used again. It acts similar to Sonic's Spring (his up Special move) from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ At 4:30 Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]</ref> It can be customized by swapping it out for two variants: [[Tornado Hold]] and [[Beat]]. However, they must be unlocked before it can be swapped out. |

| − | In ''Mega Man 3'' and ''Mega Man II'', Rush Jet will stay underneath Mega Man under any circumstances unless he hits a wall. He acts as more of a personal hover device instead of a jet, allowing Mega Man to move in any direction, or stand still entirely and Rush Jet will stay beneath him. Also, Rush Jet's energy will only deplete if Mega Man is currently ''standing'' on him. Because of this, if a player continuously jumps, large pits can be crossed while using little or no energy. |

| − | |||
| − | In ''Mega Man 4'' and later games, Rush Jet becomes more of a ''jet'', his energy continually drains, and he will continuously move in the same direction (it will make slight variations in vertical movement at the player's discretion), acting much more like [[Item-2]] from ''[[Mega Man 2]]''. This change was made because once Rush Jet was acquired in ''Mega Man 3'', it could be used to bypass situations where Rush Coil or Rush Marine were required and did so more effectively and easily than they could. |

These sections also featured giant [[Party Ball]]s which contain power ups; the list of character powerups is [[Beat]], [[Eddy]], [[Auto]], and a cannon for Rush. |

| This article is about the robot Rush. For his Mega Man Battle Network counterpart, see Rush (program) |
Rush (ラッシュ Rasshu) is Mega Man's faithful robotic dog, created by Dr. Light to assist Mega Man in his travels.
Video game appearances
Mega Man series
Rush debuted in Mega Man 3. Initially, Rush was able to transform into a coil, a hoverboard, and a submarine. Since then, Rush appeared in most games related to the original Mega Man series. The Rush Coil and Rush Jet functions are available in most of the games he appears, from Mega Man 3, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 (Rush Coil being modified into the New Rush Coil), Mega Man 7, Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10, Mega Man 11, Mega Man II to Mega Man V, and Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
In Mega Man 6, Rush was upgraded and gained the ability to fuse with Mega Man to turn him into Power Mega Man or Jet Mega Man. In Mega Man 7, his jet and coil abilities returned, but he now had Rush Search, an item detection mode. Also, both of his transformations were combined into one, turning Mega Man into Super Mega Man. In Mega Man 8, he has four new abilities, including a transformation into a motorcycle and healing abilities, and Mega Man uses Rush Jet in one part of Tengu Man's stage and the Wily Tower. He also appears in Rockman Strategy as a member of Mega Man's team.

| Rush Coil |
| A faithful robotic dog created by Dr. Light, he can transform into vehicles and even fuse with Mega Man. You can use Mega Man's up special to call Rush to your side, bouncing off his built-in spring and flying high into the air. Rush will hang around for a bit, so spring up again if you want! |
Functions
Rush Coil
Rush Coil
Rush Coil (ラッシュコイル) is a coil platform that emerges from Rush's body and propels Mega Man to a higher level. In Mega Man 3 and Mega Man II, the Rush Coil used three units of weapon energy per jump. In later games, it only used two units.
New Rush Coil
Rush Coil
New Rush Coil (ニューラッシュコイル) is a modification of the Rush Coil that only appeared in Mega Man 5. The coil appears below Rush, and Rush is propelled with Mega Man. Mega Man can leap off Rush to reach his target, allowing even higher jumps. Each jump uses four units of weapon energy.
Rush Jet
Rush Jet
Rush Jet (ラッシュジェット) transforms Rush into a flying sled which Mega Man can ride. Its usage differs greatly from Mega Man 3 to Mega Man 4 and onward.
Rush Marine
Rush Marine
Rush Marine (ラッシュマリン) transforms Rush into a mini-submarine that can move freely in all directions underwater. It only functions in water, but is able to fire buster shots. In Mega Man 3, the Rush Marine can jump from the water and move on land by jumping continuously. Rush is unable to jump out of water in other games.
There is a bug with Rush Marine in Mega Man 4 that causes it not to move with the rising/falling action of the water in Dive Man's stage; however, this was accounted for by placing death spikes immediately following the section.
The Rush Marine function is briefly utilized in Mega Man Issue 46 by Mega Man and Rush in order to traverse the sewers of Wily Castle 3.
Mega Man 3 specifications:[1]
- Length: 135 cm
- Height: 65 cm
- Max. speed: 80 knot
Appearances:
- Mega Man 3: defeat Shadow Man
- Mega Man 4: defeat Toad Man
- Mega Man II: defeat Metal Man
- Rush Marine also has cameo appearances in the cartoon series and Super Adventure Rockman.
- Rush Marine star in its own game called Mega Man Rush Marine for mobile phone.
Rush Space
Rush Space from Rockman Carddass series
Rush Space (ラッシュスペース) is an adaptation of Rush used in some of the Game Boy games that allows Mega Man to quickly travel through space. In Mega Man V, Mega Man uses this version of the Rush Jet in the stage he goes to the Wily Star and fights against the Skull Blazer. Its appearance appears to be a combination of the Rush Jet and Rush Marine.
The Rush Space can charge shots and fire them like the New Mega Buster, and it can get a speed boost by pressing A. The speed boost count is unlimited.
In the Archie Comics series, Mega Man used the Rush Space function on Rush to reach an abandoned asteroid base that the renegade Wily/Light Robot Masters were presumed to be hiding at.
Rush Adaptors
Rush Power Adaptor
Rush junctions with Mega Man to become Power Mega Man. Power Mega Man is able to break blocks and penetrate enemy shields by charging punches. These punches act as energy projectiles that travel a short distance, with each form becoming more powerful the longer the FIRE button is held down (though stronger shots have less range). Power Mega Man can also push enemies back, penetrate the shields of Knight Man and Shield Attacker GTR, destroy otherwise-invulnerable enemies, and can even push blocks in certain stages. Mega Man cannot slide in this form, however.
There is a bug with the partially charged shot's damage value. The partly-charged shot cannot pierce shields but deals more damage than either the fully charged shot or the uncharged shot, and has the range of the uncharged shot. It deals 3 damage to bosses that would otherwise take 2 from the fully charged shot, including Blizzard Man and Knight Man.
Appearances:
- Mega Man 6: defeat Flame Man
Rush Jet Adaptor
Jet Mega Man
Rush junctions with Mega Man to become Jet Mega Man. Jet Mega Man is able to use weapon energy to fly, and the energy rapidly recharges when he touches ground. Mega Man cannot charge his Buster or slide while using this form.
Appearances:
- Mega Man 6: defeat Plant Man
Super Adaptor
Super Mega Man
The Super Adaptor (スーパーアダプター) is a combination of the Rush Power Adaptor and the Rush Jet Adaptor from Mega Man 6. Its only appearance was in Mega Man 7, and is obtained by collecting the R, U, S, and H plates. They can be found in the stages of the first 4 robot masters: Cloud Man, Junk Man, Freeze Man, and Burst Man.
While equipped with the Super Adaptor, the Mega Buster is replaced by a variant of the Mega Arm from Mega Man V, a flying fist attack similiar to Hard Knuckle utilising the integrated properties of both the Rush Power- and Jet Adaptors.
The flying ability was removed, instead replaced by a double-jump using the rocket plates on the suit. Mega Man can't slide while equipped with this Adaptor because it's too bulky. Proto Man also gives a hint about this Adaptor in Turbo Man's stage.
There is an upgrade of the Super Adaptor called Hyper Rocket Buster that can be bought in Auto's shop after obtaining his Hyper Bolt, or found in Turbo Man's stage, use Rush Search in the platform where lies the third Trio the Wheel. Use Rush Search on the platform when the enemy isn´t there anymore in order to obtain the upgrade. The Hyper Rocket Buster allows Mega Man to shoot his arm with a homing effect, just like the upgraded Mega Arm from MMV.
Bass stole the plans of the Super Adaptor from Dr. Light, and Wily created a Super Adaptor for Bass.
Appearances:
- Mega Man 7: find the R, U, S and H plates. The Hyper Rocket Buster can be found in Turbo Man's stage or bought from Auto after finding his Hyper Bolt.
- Although the Super Adaptor has not made an appearance in the Mega Man Archie Comics series proper, it played a vital part it the climax of the crossover arc Worlds Collide, where it bolstered Mega Man's energy reserves to allow him to confront Doctors' Wily and Eggman. Sonic the Hedgehog, upon hearing the phrase "Super Adaptor," got the idea to use the Chaos Emeralds powering the Genesis Wave Generator to undergo transformations into their super forms. Although it wasn't created at the time, it also appeared in Worlds Unite.
- Created by Auto in Mega Man Gigamix.
- Present in the Rockman 7 and Rockman 8 manga.

Rush Search
The process of Rush Search with some of the possible results
Rush Search (ラッシュサーチ), also called Search Rush, teleports Rush in front of Mega Man's location and he digs for items.[2] If he is hit, he will teleport away, and sometimes he only finds garbage, such as apple cores, old boots, and even a rag doll. Several of the CDs in Mega Man & Bass can only be recovered using Rush Search, and the CD Finder upgrade helps locate them. In Mega Man 7, he will bark when close to a secret area. In Junk Man's stage, there is an easter egg: if Rush Search is used at the very beginning of the stage, he will dig up a Game Boy. This has been a source of much humor in the Mega Man franchise.

In the animated series, Rush looked like his game counterpart, but he was made more for comedic relief than for practical purposes. Still, he is able to help Mega Man and is mainly used as a transport, having several forms available. Rush loves to eat Battery Biscuits, which serve as a source of energy for him, and has a speech impediment, tending to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R".
In the animated series Rush has new transformations that were not used in the games, including a personal water craft, a hang glider and a snowmobile.

Rush appeared in episode 32 of the cartoon. His design was similar to the game counterpart, though with a different color scheme.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
Mega Man Megamix
Dr. Light created Rush and gave him to Mega Man in the Mega Man Gigamix story Asteroid Blues. The canine support robot is capable of assuming multiple useful forms to assist Mega Man, including a jet form that Mega Man often uses to travel through the air. Though he was created to be a simple support robot, Rush became a cherished member of Dr. Light's family.
Other appearances
Rush appeared in the three episodes of the OVA Mega Man: Upon a Star, in most of Shigeto Ikehara's Rockman manga, Rockman 8 manga, Rockman & Forte manga, and Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin.

Trivia
- Possible influences for Rush's name include the Capcom game Rush & Crash, the iconic dog Lassie (ラッシー Rasshī), and the dog Patrasche (パトラッシュ Patorasshu).[4]
- Rush's character concept appears to be loosely based on Friender, a support unit of Neo-Human Casshern, a Tatsunoko character, since Friender has the same ability of transforming into various vehicles for Casshern. Friender can be seen transforming into a jet, a drill-tank, and a submarine similar to Rush.
- Rush Bike may have been inspired by Rush Cycle and/or Rush Cannon, two entries submitted in a contest for fans to design a Robot Master.[5]
- One of the reasons why Rush Drill was removed from Mega Man 3 is probably because the player could skip most parts of the level using it.
- Although it may be a glitch, Rush will immediately appear to teleport under Mega man and allow him to jump if Mega man takes damage, strangely this only happens in Mega Man 4 with the Rush Coil and when he has warped down.
- In Mega Man Battle Network 6, MegaMan.EXE would say "No Rush Coil!" should the player attempt to use cheat codes in the game, a reference to the fact that Mega Man 6 was the only NES game without the utility. Oddly, he only says it in certain locations.[6]
- In the Ruby Spears cartoon, Rush is modeled after Scooby-Doo, as is evident from his goofy antics, garbled English and his love of "Battery Biscuits" (the cartoon's equivalent of "Scooby Snacks") to coerce him into performing the tasks given to or pleaded of him by the characters. The series' first episode showed Rush possessed a wide variety of transformation abilities not seen in the games, although he rarely transformed into anything besides his jet form throughout the series. He is shown capable of removing his helmet, although this was not shown in full capacity. Rush also had his own theme music, which was considerably goofier compared to the rest of the show's soundtrack.
- In Mega Man: Upon A Star and the Ruby-Spears series, it is shown that Rush can speak and that he alternates between making typical dog sounds and speaking, but most of the time he only parrots other characters and also appears to have a limited ability for independent speech. This is possibly why in Rush's Mega Man & Bass CD data he has a quote, while Rush's counterpart Treble only says "Grrrrrrr". This may be due in some part to the fact that dogs can be taught limited speech while wolves, the basis of Treble's design, neither have patience nor capacity to do so.
