Mega Man
Beat is a robotic bird that has appeared in many Mega Man games. He was created by Dr. Cossack to provide additional support to Mega Man during the events of "Mega Man 5". Several of the games require the player to obtain a certain number of Beat Plates in order to use Beat. Beat homes in on enemies, providing damage by slamming into them. He would perform the same function in "Mega Man 6", however he would not attack bosses as he did in the previous game. In "Mega Man 7", "Mega Man 9", "Mega Man 10", and "Mega Man 11", he rescues Mega Man from pits (and Proto Man in "Mega Man 10") and in "Mega Man 8", assists Mega Man during the Rush Jet scenes. He also provides Mega Man with an energy barrier in "Mega Man &amp; Bass". He assisted Duo and Proto Man as temporary invincibility powerups in Power Fighters.
