==Story==
===Mega Man===
Mega Man: Overdrive takes place six months after Dr. Wily's eleventh attempt at world domination. Dr. Wily is building another castle in seclusion. In middle of production, Wily decides to build a large laser cannon, aiming at Mega City. The problem is that the mad doctor needs a power source. Suddenly, a research team gives Wily a dusty piece of paper. Wily observes the paper, where it says that eight secret crystals of certain powers are hidden throughout eight different areas. Hooked on getting these items, the madman goes to Light Labs to go get his eight generals of destruction. 
Wily breaks into Light Labs &  gives an message to Dr. Light if that he doesn't have Mega Man surrender, Mega City will be destroyed. Light refuses, so Wily steals eight of Light's unfinished Robot Masters. To add another insult to injury, Wily frames Mega Man as the villain behind the attack on Light Labs. Mega Man returns to Light Labs too late, and with the police & Wily's minions hot on his trail. Mega Man suits up to clear his name & defeat Wily again

Excavator Man was a combination of an excavator & wrecking ball crane. He was built to assist Guts Man & Concrete Man on projects. After his blueprints got stolen by Wily, he was built to oversee operations over a crater, where the crystal is located.
