'''Bass''', known as '''Forte''' (フォルテ <i>Forute</i>) in Japan, is a Robot Master created by [[Dr. Wily]] to imitate [[Mega Man]]'s design, along with Treble, an imitation of [[Rush]]'s design. He was created based on a research conducted on Mega Man with the intention of surpassing his power sometime during or before the events of ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_6 Mega Man 6]'', and made his debut in ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_7 Mega Man 7]''. Bass is the prominent anti-hero of the ''Mega Man classic'' series, and his goal is to become the most powerful robot in existence. Although Bass and Mega Man are rivals, at times they team up to take down mutual enemies of the two. Despite being created by Dr. Wily, Bass frequently rebels against his creator, usually for his own purposes.

Bass is presented as an extremely smug, bad-tempered, egotistical, rebellious, fiercely independent and arrogant individual who believes that he's the strongest above all else. Bass is very prideful and thinks very highly of himself, labeling everyone else around him as inferior "junk robots". He has always been shown to hold a rivalry with [[Mega Man]], but aside from him, Bass happens to have hatred for every robot that was created by [[Dr. Wily]] (with the possible exception of Treble and, needless to say, himself), since he feels that they're standing in the way of his goal to destroy Mega Man and become the strongest. Bass looks down on them, believing himself to be superior to them in every way, shape, and form. However, a notable aspect of his personality he showed in ''Mega Man & Bass'' was that he seemed to have some degree of respect for humans, since they created robots. Duo says that there is goodness in Bass (even going so far as to say that he has "justice energy"), which the latter ignored, saying that he only wants to fight, claiming that his only concern is who the strongest is. Despite his rivalry with Mega Man, he is willing to work alongside him if it is to his benefits, as evidenced by ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters'' and his aiding Mega Man in defeating Rockman Shadow's forces. The latter instance also implied that the aftermath of the battle left Bass with some respect for Mega Man. There's a possibility that Duo's claim of there being goodness in Bass is true, since he was able to use the Evil Energy Capsules in ''Mega Man 8'' without dying. During the events of ''Mega Man & Bass'', he even began to show some form of concern for King.  
 
  
Bass appears to care for Treble and vice versa, Bass always welcomes the fierce Treble despite the confidence in his own abilities, his robotic wolf-like companion seems to understand all his commands and is very loyal to him, even bringing Bass a cure for Roboenza when he was infected.

In the original ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level]]'', Bass appears as an NPC in [[Dr. Light's Lab]] after collecting 16 [[Energy Element]]s; ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered]]'' also adds him as a purchasable [[Costumes|costume]]. He reappears in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]'' as an NPC in the main hub, and is one of the few costumes that can be bought from the start.
 
 
Despite being extremely powerful, Bass' faults that usually lead to his downfall are his arrogance and overconfidence. According to [[Proto Man]], it's because he has "nothing to fight for". The reason that he's continuously defeated by Mega Man is because of his selfish motive, which is simply to prove himself as the strongest, as opposed to Mega Man's desire to "fight for everyone's future" and bring peace to the world.

―Bass, Mega Man 7

Bass, known as Forte in Japan, is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to imitate Mega Man's design, along with Treble, an imitation of Rush's design. He was created based on a research conducted on Mega Man with the intention of surpassing his power sometime during or before the events of Mega Man 6, and made his debut in Mega Man 7. Bass is the prominent anti-hero of the classic Mega Man series, and his goal is to become the most powerful robot in existence. Although Bass and Mega Man are rivals, at times they team up to take down mutual enemies of the two. Despite being created by Dr. Wily, Bass frequently rebels against his creator, usually for his own purposes.

In the original Make a Good Mega Man Level, Bass appears as an NPC in Dr. Light's Lab after collecting 16 Energy Elements; Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered also adds him as a purchasable costume. He reappears in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 as an NPC in the main hub, and is one of the few costumes that can be bought from the start.

Bass Mode

Bass is a playable character in both Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 and Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered through the "Bass Mode" cheat. When active, Bass will replace Mega Man and function identically to his Mega Man 10 appearance. His Bass Buster can be rapid-fired in seven directions, but unlike Mega Man he cannot use Charge Shots, run while firing, or shoot through walls. Additionally, his slide is replaced with a dash that gives Bass extra momentum if he jumps forwards after using it. Unlike Mega Man & Bass, however, Bass cannot double jump.

When the Bass Mode cheat is active, the Costume Shop is closed, preventing Bass from changing costumes.
