== Story ==
3 Months after the events of Megaman 12, Dr. Light went out with Mega Man, Rush, and Roll to give them a surprise that he's been planning ever sense he got back from his vacation. Mega Man wonders what the surprise is and Dr. Light tells him that they'll find out soon enough as soon as they make it to the restaurant.
Once they all arrive to the restaurant, a mysterious figure shows up which reveals a female scientist. Dr. Light introduces the female scientist who's name is Dr. Stephanie. Mega Man and Roll introduce themselves as well and they all get to their assigned tables. 
As soon as they were halfway done with their meals, some explosions are heard in the distance which alarms them. Mega Man decides to check it out and tells Roll, Dr. Light, and Dr. Stephanie to stay at their tables. Dr. Light then tells Mega Man to be careful and wishes him luck. He accepts Dr. Light's words and heads out with Rush which begins the Intro Stage. 
After the Intro Stage, Mega Man and Rush make it up to a building to only see Proto Man damaged from Bass and Treble while Dr. Wily is in his UFO watching them both. Mega Man asks Bass and Dr. Wily what's going on, Dr. Wily then greats Mega Man and tells him that they've decided to return for revenge after what happened to Wily's Space Station. Dr. Wily explained to Mega Man that he's going to reuse his laser weapon to blow up the moon and Mega City. 
He also explains to him that he's heard about Dr. Light and Dr. Stephanie getting married and tells him that he's going to ruin their marriage in a diabolical and dangerous way and then tells him that he's reusing his laser that he used from his new Wily Station that got blown up the last time during their 12th encounter to destroy Mega City in 2 days. Mega Man tries to tell Dr. Wily that he doesn't have to do that and that things can just be talked out. Dr. Wily refuses Mega Man's favor and decides to have Bass fight him off while he flies off to his fortress. Bass accepts Dr. Wily's command and points his buster at Mega Man telling him that he's been waiting to fight him for a long time. From that, the boss battle with Bass begins. 
After the boss battle with Bass, Bass puts his hand on his shoulder as he's in pain and tells Mega Man that round one goes to him and that he'll be waiting to fight again. He then teleports of with Treble. Mega Man asks Proto Man if he's okay and Proto Man tells him that he's okay. Suddenly, he gets a message from Dr. Light telling him to head to the pew where the wedding is being held at. Mega Man accepts the command and tells Proto Man to come with him. Proto Man accepts the favor and the two teleport off to the pew. 
In the pew, Dr. Light asks Mega Man what Dr. Wily is up to this time. Mega Man then explains that Dr. Wily is going to reuse his laser weapon from last time to destroy the moon and Mega City and that he's going to ruin the wedding in a dangerous way. Dr. Light responds in shock and tells Mega Man that whatever Wily is doing is terrible. Roll then asks Mega Man what everyone is going to do. 
Mega Man then tells everyone that he's going to stop Dr. Wily from succeeding in his evil plan with Proto Man. Everyone nods in agreement while Dr. Stephanie tells him that her Robot Masters have gone missing and must've been kidnapped by Dr. Wily and kindly asks them to stop them and bring them back to her so they can be fixed. Mega Man agrees to the favor and heads out of the pew with Proto Man and Rush. Dr. Light wishes them good luck and the player is brought to the stage select screen. 
After going through the first Four Robot Master Stages, Mega Man and Proto Man arrive to the pew and tells Dr. Light and Dr. Stephanie that they're doing great on their adventure. Dr. Light becomes proud, but tells them that they have some bad news. Mega Man responds in worry and asks Dr. Light what the bad news is. Dr. Light then guides Mega Man and Proto Man to a TV that has the News on which shows some footage of the laser being directly pointed towards the moon with a timer being set to 6 hours. 
Dr. Light tells Mega Man that Dr. Wily has already turned on his weapon right under everyone's noses and that it'll fire in 6 hours. Mega Man tells Dr. Light not to worry and that they'll stop the last four robot masters in time to make it to his fortress. Dr. Light agrees to Mega Man's statement and decides to give him some new enhancements for Rush. Mega Man then gains the enhancements and heads out with Proto Man. After that, the player is rewarded with the Rush Jet. 
After going through the last four Robot Master Stages, Mega Man and Proto Man arrives back at the pew in time and sees the laser on Wily's new fortress shut off with the timer shut off as well. Mega Man becomes suprised and asks Dr. Light how it happened. Dr. Light then explains to Mega Man that Auto actually got a hold of the controls for the laser by hacking into the system and then decided to shut it off for good. Mega Man then thanks Auto for shutting it off and Auto tells Mega Man that it was the best he could do. Mega Man then tells Dr. Stephanie that he and Proto Man brought back her robots. Dr. Stephanie becomes happy and thanks Mega Man for bringing them back at last. After that, the wedding begins from there.
During the wedding. Roll tosses flowers on the carpet while Dr. Stephanie is being guided by Mega Man to the stand. Then, the Opening Remarks and the Pronouncement of Marriage go through and from that Dr. Light and Dr. Stephanie both kiss and everyone celebrates. Suddenly, Dr. Wily busts through the glass window along with Bass and Treble hoping into the stand with everyone being alarmed. 
Dr. Wily then tells everyone that he has something to say to Mega Man and faces towards Mega Man. He then tells him that he's ruined everything that he worked so hard on and that he has a Plan B which is to set the fortress' laser's course towards Mega City. Mega Man becomes shocked in anger and tells Dr. Wily that he won't get away with this. Dr. Wily then says that its too late and also says that he'll be waiting for Mega Man in a menacingly way. Mega Man then tells Dr. Wily to stop in his tracks, but its too late for them. Mega Man then tells everyone that he knows what he must do now and decides to go out and head to his fortress with Proto Man and Rush. Dr. Stephanie then wishes Mega Man and Proto Man good luck and they both head out which then treats the player to the Stage Select screen where he/she now has the choice to either replay a Robot Master stage or head to the Wily Stages. 
After going through the First 3 Wily Stages, Mega Man meets up with Bass once again while Bass tells him that he's impressed on how quick and efficient he was to come here and battle him. Mega Man then tells Bass that he's here to make things right and that Dr. Wily's plan ends now. Bass then tells him that the clock is ticking and that he may not have enough time to shut off Dr. Wily's Machine in a teasing way. Mega Man then tells Bass to take whatever he said back, but Bass refuses and decides to have Treble turn him into Treble Boost. Once he's done transforming, Mega Man and Bass decide to duke it out one on one which then begins the boss battle. 
After the boss battle, Bass becomes angry and decides to charge up his Bass Buster and kill Mega Man, but a whistle is heard in the distance which then causes Proto Man to teleport in and use his Big Bang Strike to shoot Bass which then causes him to fall off the screen. Mega Man then smiles and thanks Proto Man for saving him from Bass. Proto Man then tells Mega Man that it wasn't a problem and that he needs to head to the room where the generator for the weapon is located. Mega Man then thanks Proto Man and accepts his favor and teleports off. Proto Man then teleports off as well. 
After going through the 4th Wily Stage, Mega Man tells Dr. Wily to show himself in an angered way. Dr. Wily then brings out his new Wily Machine 13 and greats Mega Man in a menacingly way. Mega Man then says that he's going to end Dr. Wily's evil plot once and for all and that he'll serve him to justice at last. Dr. Wily then agrees with Mega Man's statement and decides to start up the Wily Machine 13 which then begins the First Phase of the final boss. 
After the First and Second Phase is over, Dr. Wily jumps out of the Wily Capsule 10 and then begs for mercy towards Mega Man. Mega Man then crosses his arms in disappointment and asks Dr. Wily when will he learn. He then notices some seismic activity occurring around the fortress and decides to teleport away with Dr. Wily in his hands. As soon as he teleports away with Dr. Wily, the entire fortress explodes. 
After leaving the exploding fortress. Mega Man returns back to the Church with Dr. Wily and sees that some people are repairing the glass windows and also notices that the police are here. He then tells the police about what Dr. Wily was trying to do and commands them to arrest him. The police officers agree and decide to take Dr. Wily away while he threatens Mega Man that he'll be back for revenge. Then, everyone in the pew cheers Mega Man on as well as Proto Man and congratulate them for saving the day and bringing Dr. Wily to justice yet again. Mega Man then thanks everyone and says that he couldn't have done it without the help of Rush, Proto Man, and the rest of his friends and family. Dr. Stephanie agrees with Mega Man and decides to head to the dinning room and celebrate her and Dr. Light's marriage. Mega Man agrees with her and says that it sounds like a good idea and walks off along with everyone that was a part of the wedding. 
In the dinning room. Dr. Stephanie makes a speech on how proud she is to marry Dr. Light at long last and that she's always dreamed of marrying him ever sense they were in Robot University. Then, everyone agrees and cheers for her as she decides to dance with Dr. Light. Roll then tells Mega Man that everything went well in the end. Mega Man agrees and decides to watch Dr. Light and Dr. Stephanie dance together with a happy and proud feeling in him. From that, the player is treated to the credits scene and the game ends from there. 
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is much similar to the Classic side scrolling Mega Man games. Mega Man can Jump, use his Mega Buster to shoot or charge up projectiles at enemy's to destroy them, and Slide. Proto Man can do the same thing as Mega Man, but this time he wields his Proto Shield each time he jumps to deflect projectiles that are fired from enemies back at them. Also, the Double Gear System makes a returning comeback in the game as well. If the player uses the Power Gear, he/she can shoot bigger Buster Shots, or he can shoot two Fully Charged Buster Shots that are both Red and Blue when he's preforming a Charge Shot. If the player uses the Speed Gear, he/she can slow down time and every enemy, gimmick, and boss around him. However, he still moves at his normal pace when the Speed Gear is active.
If at any time the player gets damaged to where his/her health is at 3 units, a 3rd Gear will be initiated. If the player presses both shoulder buttons at the same time, he/she can use both Gears at the same time which makes either Mega Man, Proto Man, or Bass more powerful. If the player uses any gear for a limited amount of time, the gauge will fill up to where if it is filled up, the Double Gear System will overheat and the player must wait for the Gauge to go down and reduce heat. As soon as the Gauge is down, the player can now use the Double Gear System again.
The Stage Select is also accessible for players too. The player has the option to choose whatever stage he/she wishes to go to first when its first open. If the player goes through four stages, he/she unlocks Rush Jet, and if the player goes through four more stages, he/she has access to make his/her way to the Wily Stages which consists into 5 levels. After the Wily Stages are cleared, the player now has access to replay a stage whether all the bosses are cleared or not.
Each Robot Master consists of its own pattern to where it uses two attacks and one attack that involves the Robot Master using its own weapon which the player gains after defeating it. Each Robot Master is weak to another Robot Master's weapon which consists into a pattern that the player can or cannot fallow depending on how he/she wants to play the game.
During the game, the player has the option to save the game at any point in the game.
