They also get different support weapons, and their Robot Master weapons have aesthetic differences. | '''''Mega Man & Bass''''' is a game in the classic ''Mega Man'' series, initially only released in Japan for the Super Famicom, but later ported to the Game Boy Advance and released internationally.

Mega Man & Bass is a game in the classic Mega Man series, initially only released in Japan for the Super Famicom, but later ported to the Game Boy Advance and released internationally. True to its name, the game's playable characters consist of both Mega Man and Bass. The two characters have several differences between each other, with Mega Man being able to slide under objects and charge his buster, and Bass being able to double jump and rapidly fire his buster in 7 directions. They also get different support weapons, and their Robot Master weapons have aesthetic differences.
Unlike most Mega Man games, where the Robot Masters are fought in groups of four or eight, Robot Masters in Mega Man & Bass are made accessible by defeating specific Robot Masters in a set of three initially provided to the player. The game re-uses the art style and several enemies from Mega Man 8, including the Robot Masters Tengu Man and Astro Man (although they now provide new weapons), and the Wily 3 boss Green Devil (which is now only the intro boss). Several sound effects from Mega Man 7 are used as well. A notable feature of the game is a database featuring profiles of almost every character to appear in the series up to that point.
