A vending machine is an automated machine that provides items such as snacks and beverages to the consumer in exchange of cash. Several vending machines appeared in the Mega Man games.
Appearances[]
Mega Man Legends[]
Kattelox Island has two drink vending machines installed in Downtown, three in Uptown (one being inside the hospital), and one in Yass Plains. They all have a trash box on their side for empty drinks. MegaMan Volnutt can use 100 Zenny to buy a drink and fully recover his health. The same drink is also available for free in the Flutter's fridge.
Alternatively, Mega Man can kick the machine, which may either give him a free drink or break it. Doing this reduces the ethics value. Kicking a broken machine will cause it to explode.
The appearance of the machine and its content varies between different versions of the game. In the original Japanese PlayStation version, it contains Oronamin C (オロナミンC), which was included in the game as a tie-in. The English version contains a soft drink. The PlayStation Portable version contains juice (ジュース).
While not available to the player, the vending machines appear to also have Java tea and Pocari.[1]

Vending machines are recurring objects in the two series. Except for Mega Man Star Force 2, they appear in all of the main games, and in most of them the player is able to enter in at least one machine.
