# Mega Man 7 Mega Man 7, known as *Rockman 7: Shukumei no Taiketsu!* in Japan, is a 1995 action-platformer developed and published by Capcom for the SNES. The seventh mainline entry in the *Mega Man* series, it marks the franchise’s 16-bit debut, following Mega Man as he teams up with Rush, Proto Man, and new ally Bass to stop Dr. Wily’s latest scheme with eight new Robot Masters: Freeze Man, Junk Man, Burst Man, Cloud Man, Spring Man, Slash Man, Shade Man, and Turbo Man. Featuring enhanced 16-bit visuals, a chargeable Mega Buster, and a soundtrack by multiple composers (including Yuko Takehara), it sold around 500,000 copies, reflecting the SNES’s waning popularity. It’s a fan-favorite for its polish and new characters. ## Why Play Mega Man 7? Mega Man 7 builds on the NES formula with eight non-linear stages, each offering unique Robot Master battles and weapons (e.g., Slash Claw, Noise Crush) that exploit others’ weaknesses. The chargeable Mega Buster, Rush’s abilities (Coil, Jet, Search), and Bass’s introduction add gameplay depth. A shop system lets players buy upgrades like Energy Tanks with bolts, and the game balances challenge with accessibility via passwords (5-6 hours main story, 8-12 for completion).
