In addition to referencing the official Mega Man games, the MaGMML series has featured numerous references to other Mega Man fangames. These range from minor throwaway details, to characters from those games appearing as tier bosses, to (in some rare cases) their plots directly influencing that of a MaGMML game. Each game is listed in alphabetical order; also included are ROM hacks and Mega Man-esque games that range from professional to indie.

Fangames

Eddie's World

Mega Man 42

Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch

  • Maestro, the main character and default avatar, appears in Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level and Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 as a purchasable costume.
  • The final boss theme of MaGMML: Episode Zero remixes part of the Evil Robot's theme from Chapter 8, among other tracks.
  • The plushie for the Genesis Unit in MaGMML3 mentions Alpha, Beta, and Gamma formations, alluding to the tactics used by the Genesis Unit during their boss fight.

Mega Man ARM 2

Mega Man's Christmas Carol series

  • Future, one of the three Robot Masters from the original Mega Man's Christmas Carol, appears in MaGMML2 as the boss of Tier 7. Past from the same game appears in the same tier as an NPC.
  • MaGMML2 contains a few bosses from Mega Man's Christmas Carol 2 as NPCs: Scrooge appears in Tier 5, and Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit appear in Tier 7.
  • The secret level Twilight Lodge (accessed from Tier 7) is taken directly from Mega Man's Christmas Thingy, a game which was created in a single day using the MaGMML2 engine and content planned for the then-in-development Mega Man's Christmas Carol 3, including a brand new boss, Wishing Star. Ultimately, Mega Man's Christmas Carol 3 used very little from Twilight Lodge, though Wishing Star makes a cameo in the game's credits (with his game of origin cited as Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 rather than Mega Man's Christmas Thingy), as well as Bass's epilogue.
  • Future, Tiny Tim's Sibling Horde, and Saint appear as collectable plushies in MaGMML3.
  • MaGMML3 includes several Christmas Carol characters as NPCs; alongside a returning Past, Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and Wishing Star, new additions include Jacob Marley from the original Mega Man's Christmas Carol (in Tier 2), and Mr. Fezziwig (in Tier 8) and Fred (in Tier 13), both from Mega Man's Christmas Carol 3.
  • Ignorance from Mega Man's Christmas Carol 2 appears in MaGMML3 as an NPC; in-universe, he is the boss of Tier 6, but is frozen in a block of ice and is never actually fought.

Mega Man: The Dark Resistence

  • Storm Man appears in MaGMML2 as one of the patrons of Chateau Chevaleresque.

Mega Man Dongs

  • Punch Donkey, one of the game's eight bosses, appears as the boss of Tier 14 in MaGMML3. In the same game, he also appears as a collectible plushie.

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Final Attack

  • Lord Elewoofro appears in MaGMML2 as the boss of Tier 5. Unusually, he is not a boss in his source game, but instead gives Mega Man a random recovery item when using the Special Attack weapon — thus, his tier boss fight is entirely original (with the music used for his source game's Wily Machine battle reused for his fight).
  • Sound Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters appears in MaGMML3 as the boss of Tier 10.
  • MaGMML3 features Lord Elewoofro and Sound Man as collectible plushies.

Mega Man Eternal

  • Jolt Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears in the original Make a Good Mega Man Level as the boss of Tier 1. In MaGMML1R, he is replaced by Him and is otherwise completely absent. Posters of Jolt Man (with a moustache as "El Jolto") also appear in the background of MaGMML2's Tier 4.

Mega Man Final 3: The Legacy Lives On

  • Cyber Man's stage is adapted as a level in MaGMML2. Cyber Man himself reappears as an NPC and a plush in MaGMML3, although he is credited as debuting in MaGMML2.

Mega Man: Infamous Intent

  • Storm Man states he is looking forward to the release of this game in MaGMML2, a joke about the game's cancellation.
  • The sprites for the Genesis Unit in all MaGMML games to date were originally created for Infamous Intent.

Mega Man RAM

  • Creamery Man appears as an NPC at the Victor Heights bar in MaGMML3.
  • Anthro Sheep Man and Spiral Man appear as collectable plushies in MaGMML3.

Mega Man: Revenge of the Fallen

  • In the original MaGMML, Knight Man ponders if he is eligible to be a tier boss, given his role in this game. MaGMML1R rewrites his dialogue to instead be a call forward to him running Chateau Chevaleresque in MaGMML2.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Revenge of the Fallen's final battle (which resembles Mega Man 6's with added background tiles). In it, Mega Man is equipped with the Star Crash, the weakness of the Wily Capsule.

Mega Man Revolution

  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Revolution's Wily battle, with Mega Man equipped with the Fire Seeker (the Wily Capsule's weakness). Very briefly, the bullet shot at Wily by Dr. Remir as he reveals his true colours can be seen flying towards Wily, but the scene replays before it can actually strike.
  • Pyre Man, one of the game's eight bosses, appears as one half of the Pyre Duo, the boss of Tier 9 in MaGMML3. He is joined by Pyre Woman, his redesign/replacement from Revolution's upcoming remake, Mega Man Revolution Remix.
  • In MaGMML3, several Robot Masters appear as NPCs; Cryo Man in Tier 6, Haste Man in Tier 11 of MaGMML3, and Amp Man in Tier 13. Ghost Man also appears in the Limestone Pagoda as the host of the secret Ghosts of Yamato Arena.
  • Pyre Man and Pyre Woman (as the Pyre Duo) appear as a collectible plush, alongside Gaton Me (one of the game's Wily Castle bosses).

Mega Man Rock Force

  • Justice Man, the main antagonist of the game, appears in both MaGMML and MaGMML1R as the boss of Tier 4. In the former, he is resurrected by Dr. Wily to fight Mega Man, but in the latter, Mega Man instead fights a holographic replica of him (and Justice Man himself remains dead). His dialogue in 1R is lifted verbatim from the final battle of Rock Force, and doesn't change to account for costumes. Justice Man also has a CD in MaGMML: Episode Zero, and is featured in two separate statues in the Robot Museum.
  • MaGMML2 makes several references to Knight Man "having it in him", a reference to a comment Plant Man makes about him (and his ability to act) in the ending of Rock Force.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Rock Force's final battle, with Justice Man appearing instead of Dr. Wily, and Mega Man being equipped with the Shock Gauntlet (Justice Man's weakness). The scene is inaccurate to Rock Force itself, which concluded with Justice Man's destruction without him ever begging for mercy.
  • The ending of Rock Force and the anullment of the Robot Expiration Date law is brought up in MaGMML: Episode Zero, with the Robot Museum being the revamped version briefly seen during the ending and statues in the museum mentioning the basic plot of Rock Force. Additionally, SRARA's integrated circuits are strongly implied via S.R.A.R.A. HQ to be the same kind Justice Man had, with them suffering the same defect that almost drove him to insanity.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero's Robot Museum, four of the game's Robot Masters — Crypt Man, Virus Man, Boom Man (née Fuse Man), and Shock Man — are depicted as statues below Justice Man and four Mega Man 9 Robot Masters, symbolising both games' struggle against anti-robot legislation.
  • Death Man, the last Robot Master encountered before Justice Man, appears as the boss of Tier 13 in MaGMML3.
  • Shock Man, Charade Man, Circuit Man, Photon Man, Crypt Man, Pulse Man, Fish Man, and War Man appear as NPCs in MaGMML3.
  • In MaGMML3, Death Man, Justice Man, and the Thrill Bomb gimmick from Thrill Man's stage appear as collectable plushies.

Mega Man ROCKS!

  • Door Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears in MaGMML2 as the boss of Tier 3. He also makes a cameo appearance in MaGMML: Episode Zero's ending, where he is seen arguing with Saturn. He returns in MaGMML3 as an NPC in Tier 13.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting ROCKS!'s final battle, with Mega Man equipped with the Police Shield (the Wily UFO's weakness).
  • Repair Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears in MaGMML3 as the boss of Tier 2.
  • Anchor Man, Hit Man, Fire Man, Snow Man, and Police Man appear as NPCs in MaGMML3.
  • In MaGMML3, Door Man and Repair Man appear as collectible plushies.

Mega Man: Square Root of Negative One

  • Milk, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears in MaGMML2 as the boss of Tier 1. It also makes a cameo in MaGMML: Episode Zero's ending, where it emerges from a Wargate in Dr. Cossack's laboratory, and in MaGMML3 as an NPC in Tier 9 and a collectible plushie.
  • Thomas appears as an NPC in Tier 5 of MaGMML and MaGMML1R. raocow, the secret secondary player character, also appears in both games as an NPC in the attic of Dr. Light's Lab.
  • Bright Man uses the game's Special Weapons in his second phase in both MaGMML and MaGMML1R. In the latter, not only do the weapons act more like they do in Square Root of Negative One, but Bright Man also uses their palettes and icons.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Square Root of Negative One's final battle, with Mega Man equipped with the Milk Spray (the Wily Capsule's weakness).
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, Unununium is capable of summoning one of Square Root of Negative One's Robot Masters for one of its attacks. The possible four it can summon are Illuminati, Angry Sun, Toss Tortoise, and Doodlebob.
  • Doodlebob's stage is recreated in the NEO Pit of Pits sublevel "Where It All Began".

Mega Man Sunrise

  • Scorch Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears in MaGMML2 alongside Fire Magician from the bootleg Zook Hero Z as the boss of Tier 4; collectively, they are known as The Scorching Duo, though Mega Man Sunrise's boss music is used.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Sunrise's final battle. While Sunrise is monochrome like the Game Boy games, the scene is depicted in Episode Zero in full colour (though the tiles retain the greenish-yellow palette). In it, Mega Man is equipped with the Wily Capsule's weakness, the Trance Wrecker, using a coloured palette provided by Cruise Elroy.
  • Mirage Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears as the boss of Tier 8 in MaGMML3.
  • Sound Man, Circuit Man, Kunai Man, Valve Man and Scorch Man appear as NPCs in MaGMML3. Additionally, Plum mentions Trance as a tournament competitor after earning three Tier Ranks, but she makes no physical appearance.
  • In MaGMML3, Scorch Man, Mirage Man, and Trance appear as collectible plushies.

  • The Wily Machine TROPHY fight in both MaGMML and MaGMML1R uses the Wily Capsule's battle music from this game for all three phases.
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Super Fighting Robot's final battle, with Mega Man equipped with the Zap Barrier (the Wily Capsule's weakness).
  • Wizard Man, one of the game's eight Robot Masters, appears as the boss of Tier 11 of MaGMML3.
  • Leaf Man, Zap Man, Dagger Man, Soak Man, Trash Man, and Coal Man appear as NPCs in MaGMML3. Dagger Man, Wizard Man and Anti-Mega Bulwark appear as collectable plushies.

Mega Man Unlimited

  • Canonically, the Zero seen throughout the MaGMML series is a hastily rebuilt version of the Z-Prototype, which in the MaGMML timeline was irreparably damaged following the final battle of Unlimited.
  • Yoku Man, a "public domain" ninth Robot Master, appears as the boss of Tier 3 in the original MaGMML, and of Tier 2 in MaGMML1R. He also appears as an NPC in Chateau Chevaleresque in MaGMML2, and in Tier 5 in MaGMML3. Additionally, he also appears as a plushie in MaGMML3.
  • Several of Unlimited's Robot Masters appear as NPCs in MaGMML2: In addition to the aforementioned Yoku Man, Glue Man appears in Chateau Chevaleresque, Yo-Yo Man stands outside it, Trinitro Man manages the Challenge Tent, Nail Man appears outside the Dojo, Rainbow Man appears in Tier 5, and Comet Woman appears in Tier 8.
  • Rainbow Man's stage is recreated in the Pit of Pits mini-stage "A light challenge.".
  • In MaGMML: Episode Zero, the Dr. Wily begging montage in the Robot Museum features a scene depicting Unlimited's Wily Machine battle, with Mega Man equipped with the Yo-Yo Cutter (the Wily Walker's weakness).

  • A Sniper Joe in Tier 8 of MaG48HMML reads a "Choose Your Joe Adventure" book that loosely describes the game's events; in addition to a Joe stealing Proto Man's shield, the latter can make use of the Laser Trident and Skull Barrier, both of which are part of his arsenal in the game.
  • Regular Joe, the final Sniper Joe encountered in the game, appears as the boss of Tier 1 of MaGMML3. He also appears as a collectible plush.

SRARA Joe uses one in an attack mimicking a similar attack used by Giga Joe in Scooby Doc 4, a Wargate CD exists, and SRARA Met reveals they started appearing as a result of the aftermath of Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide. It also reveals Dr. Wily created the Reality Core by studying the reality-warping energy the Wargates emit.
