The MBoard

Ya know, which stage did you find yourself humming the music to?
Which stage made you happy just looking at it?

Off the top of my head I'd have to say the most visually appealing one to me was Geminiman's stage. For musically most appealing I have to go with Dr.Wily Stage in MM2.

Going to go with Snake Man's stage on audio (although Wily Castle 2 is close).
As far as visual goes, it's probably Shade Man's stage. Nice creepy house.

MM2's Wily Castle 2 wins for music, but I would vote the MM3 intro theme or even the MM2 title theme if they were stages.

In terms of visual, I want to say that WoodMan's stage was a trip, despite its obvious inferiority to some later stages.

StarMan's stage is pretty cool, too.

Skull Man's stage looked nice to me.

Diveman's stage gives me a good feeling when I run through it, though the overly short Robot Museum from 7 is notable as well for sights and sounds.

This good stuff. I need the best music for my RPG.

But on-topic... I always had a fond place in my heat for Cutman's level. I know it's all ugly and... blue, but being my first MM level I've ever played, it's a rememberable one.

For music, definitely Dr. Wily Castle 2 from MM2.

Tough one.

Sound... Fortress 1 from MM7. Just... wow, what an awesome tune.

Sight... Dust Man.

I would have to say Crystal Man's stages. The music is pretty catchy, and the stage looks beautiful.

But on-topic... I always had a fond place in my heat for Cutman's level. I know it's all ugly and... blue, but being my first MM level I've ever played, it's a rememberable one.

Same here. But for music, mine would have to be Wily Stage 1 from MM1. I remember I used to hum that theme when I was around 5 or 6. Still do sometimes.

I really liked Flash Man's stage visually.
In terms of audio It is a stalemate between Skull Man and Wood Man. Both tracks... epic!

I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned Heat Man's stage for music.
That's one awesome track, there.

The one I loved best was Tenguman's level on Mega Man 8. I loved the little tune and the background looked vibrant and cool since you were looking at it in a high view.

That's a hard question.

I think I'll pick a few out of the box!

1. Wily's castle 2 MM5
2. Bubble Man
3. Dr Cossack 2

Aaaaaaaaand that's that.

The only one that I can think of is the Robot Museum stage from MM7. It felt good seein' all of those guys is those bubbles.

The music also consisted of parts of Guts Man's (MM1), Heat Man's (MM2) and Snake Man's (MM3) stages.

Plus, it gives you a small break from the sorta-hard stages of MM7. Very cool stage, IMO.

My favourite music would be Elecman's stage, second would be Iceman's. I guess it's because MM1 was the first one I played.

Most visually appealing? Woodman's and Napalmman's, and Blizzardman's (I love the mountains and the submarine).

I don't have one, they all sucked, and I could never beat Cutman.

Because he kept on cutting you right? : ' (

I'm surprised he doesn't chop his own arms off on a daily basis.

He kept cutting you a good one.

I personally liked woodmans and Elecmans.

Music wise... MM2 theme, MM3 theme, Metal Man.

For music and visual, I like almost anything from MM7. Visually I like the junkiness of Junk Man's level. That's redundant to say, but yeah.

I'm surprised he doesn't chop his own arms off on a daily basis.

Just because his name is Cutman doesn't make him emo does it?

I really like Swordman's stage in terms of visual, although i could never figure out why. ???

As for sound, I can't decide between three stages:
Aquaman
Astroman
Tenguman
(Yeah, I know it's all Megaman 8 stuff, I only got into two megaman classic games, 7 and 8.)
But if I HAD to choose one, I would have to pick Aquaman's stage.

That works well with the avatar.

Lol it actually does

Hence the remark.

I thought about it for some time, and I like Bubble Man's stage the best. So now you know!

Now that I think about it, the song on that stage was nice.

Another thing about Cutman, didn't he shoot blades out of his megabuster too? At least he did in the show.

I'm not sure, but I think so. I think I remember him doing that in the Megaman arcade game. What was that called again?

Having seen a good portion of the show, I don't think so.

Cut Man had a MEGA buster? Whoa.

I've always been a major fan of the 8-bit classic series soundtrack, especially in MM2-4, although 1 & 5 has some noteable tracks as well.

For the original six, my favorites were : Metal Man, Bubble Man, Wood Man, Gemini Man, Spark Man, MM2-Wily 1, Pharaoh Man, Skull Man, and Cossack2.

I have to agree with ASR that the intros to MM2 and MM3 were pretty epic.

As far as visuals go, I loved the crystalline designs to Flash Man, Gemini Man, and Crystal Man, and Centaur Man's flooded ruins with all the waterfalls in the background and foreground. I also really liked Knight Man's castle fortress as well.

I liked Metalman's stage, the music was complex, and the stage was simple.

Something to even out my mind!

Ever have something not even out in your mind? Its not pretty, it makes your brain feel all...Uneven.... ???

I like the music to Quickman's stage too, but those stupid laser beams drove me NUTS!

There is so much great music in Megaman 2 and same continued in Megaman 3. After that? It started to go downhill.

Like the Zelda theme song, you will struggle the rest of your life to get these tunes out of your head!

I can see it 60 years from now....Senile old people in a nursing home humming and whistling Zelda and 8-bit NES MM tunes.... >:(

See, the problem with MM tunes is that they simply aren't as mainstream as things like the Mario theme and the Zelda theme. Even the Halo theme is up there, but it's certianly not hummable.

I dunno' why, but it's very rare when someone recognizes a MegaMan tune. Of course, then you have me who can identify quite a few of the large library of all 8 Classic games and the first X game tunes when played for me blindly.

I'll never forget one day when I was humming Storm Eagle's theme and someone said "MegaMan X?" and we exchanged nods.

I think my brother told me he was at a premier for Pure Pwnage, that internet fad thing. And everyone was given a kazoo, people started kazooing(?) some game themes, and a couple people started the Elecman theme.

I think you can even see my brother in one of the videos.

Speaking of kazoos, the Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack was pretty tight, too.

Gyro Man and Gravity Man's stages got me the most aroused, although I'll play the Metal Man song when I'm feeling a little squirrelly.

I'll never forget one day when I was humming Storm Eagle's theme and someone said "MegaMan X?" and we exchanged nods.

I actually love it when that happens. Three years ago, in my biology class, I heard this kid hum "Carnival Night". I mentioned "Sonic 3", and he gave me a grin.

Yep, yep.

Anyway, I've been playing MegaMan 3 a bit due to a recent spark of interest in the soundtrack, and I've taken an extreme liking to both SnakeMan's and ShadowMan's themes.

I also like MagnetMan's theme in the 20th Anniversary Techno album. SnakeMan's is the best on there, though.

Magnet Man was never really a favorite of mine until I heard the stellar remake on the 20th Anniversary Techno album (note to self: check that album out on ebay)

Believe it or not, I have a friend who can play almost all of the classic MM and MMX tunes on the piano. You wouldn't believe how shocked I was when I heard him play FireMan's theme on the piano at music camp when I first met him in Wildwood. Needless to say, I was the only other guy in the room who recognized what he was playing. ;)

I can play Dr. Mario and the very beginning of the MM2 Title Screen on the bells. I taught myself both of them by ear. I also learned the beginning of the Zelda theme and a song from Banjo Kazooie a long time ago, but I forgot them.

Anyway, I have a friend whosebrother can play the entire Banjo Kazooie soundtrack on guitar, which is pretty cool.

To be quite honest, I've never caught myself humming Megaman tunes in public. ;D

I do have a Dr.Mario Remix on my cell phone... ;)

I've tried to play some MM tunes on Guitar, but I can never play them all the way through...I can play the Intro of Mega Man 2 pretty well, I just need to teach myself the second part.

My cell phone ringtone is the Boss Selection Jingle from MM2 specifically. It works great as a ringtone.

All my friends know I'm obsessed with MegaMan, and I'm already the quirky-outgoing type, so I'll hum things out loud all the time, and sometimes get people to hum/sing along.

My greatest accomplishment was the Mario theme during a test. The entire class dropped their pencils and hung around, and we even did the end level thing when you slide down the flag and enter the castle, and then we got partway through humming the second level but we broke.

My cellphone ringtone is the theme from the 90's X-Men cartoon, but it sounds crap 'cause my phone is too old for truetones or anything good so I had to record the sound off my computer as a voice memo and then set it to ringtone. That took too long to explain that my ring tone is X-Men.

Yep, yep.

I read SnakeMan as SnareMan. :-D

If your phone has a USB port like mine it should not be hard to get tones uploaded to it...

If you have a Motorola phone you can download P2k Commander(which is freeware), if you don't have Motorola....You can download Sync-cell which has a free trial of 14 days...Long enough to upload many ringers.

Of course, if your phone is old...Chances are you don't have USB port.

Haha thats great, I wish it was on video....That would be hilarious!

I got a phone last year in Summer and it doesn't have a USB port... :/

Mine has none of that junk. USBubcus.. It's LG 3200 or something, and it's on Telus so the service isn't all that hot either.

I have a RAZOR...I got it off my sister after she left home, she beat it up pretty bad but it works...And it has a USB.

You know, alot of phones these days charge via USB port.

You can send MIDIs to your phone(using this:http://www.mobilatory.com/send-to-phone/) if your phone is internet enabled....

But you have to pay Cell-Internet charges...Which can be harsh. :(

RAZR. Spell it right!

Hehe sorry, you're right. RAZR! I suppose RAZOR was already copyrighted.  ;D

My bad.

For music,Snake Man,and for visual,either Gemini Man or Gravity Man.

I think wood man's level
and flash man's    ;D

Favourite stage music:

1.Gravity Man
2.Napalm Man
3.Knight Man
4.Charge Man
5.Ring Man
6.Skull Man
7.Wave Man
9.Flame Man
10.Wind Man
11.Yamato Man
12.Slash Man
13.Turbo Man

And i know that this topic isn`t for choosing worst theme music but just letting you know that centaur Man`s stage music from Megaman 6  was terrible,well thats what i thought anyways lol.

I would have to say quick man and flash man.

I enjoyed Pirate Man's stage from Rockman and Forte.

Like the Weapon thread, sorry for "bumping" this.

There are quite a few stages that were, and always will be, appealing to me. They are the stages I can't wait to play. Now, I never go as far as entering an appealing stage with a hard boss, without it's weakness weapon already in hand, but I do sometimes replay the stages (if I can) even after the boss is defeated, simply because the level is generally amusing.

But anyways, here's my (probably incomplete) list:

1. Quick Man's: The awesome shade of red used throughout the entire level is very comforting for me and keeps my mind a little more stimulated for those dreadful lasers. Plus, the music is good.

2. Drill Man's: The nice shade of reddish brown is pretty cheerful, and makes the underground seem like a fun bright place. Plus, the music is good.

3. Bright Man's: The fun, bright colors of light, and the nice blue wall are just miraculous. I am always at ease with this one. Sure, the stage can be quite a trifle at times, but it's still a fun stage. Plus, the music is good(ish).

4. Skull Man's: The bones aren't all that appealing (well, maybe a little) but the blue sky that's seen later in the stage is pretty cool. The mountains in the background, the clouds, everything is relaxing. Plus, the music is good.

5. Pharaoh Man's: I've always thought deserts were fascinating at night time. That's exactly why I like this stage, cause it's a desert in the night time. The pyramid is also nice, though. Plus, the music is good.

6. Charge Man's: This shouldn't be a surprise. I mean, it's a Mega Man 5 level, so it must look good. The sky is vibrant, the train is nicely colored, and how the train bumps is also pretty cool. I always select this stage first when starting Mega Man 5. (but that's because Charge Man is easy to beat) Plus, the music is good.

7. Star Man's: Space is always a fun thing to experience. (Well, maybe sometimes it's not. Remember Space Jam? >_<) This stage is not only a cool space stage, but it's also fun to play. I am of course talking about the low gravity. ^.^ Plus, the music is nice.

8. Gravity Man's: A lot like Bright Man's stage - in it's brighty brightness - it's an appealing stage to look at. It's a warm, peaceful stage, despite the constantly reversing gravity. Plus, the music is good.

9. Napalm Man’s: The only things I really like are the trees and the sky. Plus, the music is good.

10. Proto Man's (3rd): The orangey goodness of the stone used in the third level of his castle are pretty comforting, and they go nice with the night time background. Probably my favorite Mega Man Classic fortress stage. Plus, the music is awesome.

11. Tomahawk Man: Seriously, this stage is beautiful. The ol' western feel is gives off, the ground, the AMAZING sky near the end of the stage. It's all great. Plus, the music gives me eargasms.

12. Yamato Man's: I just love Japan. It's a great, lustrous place filled with wonder. The sky never looks bad in ancient Japan. It always looks epic, and so does this stage. Plus, the music is good.

13. Knight Man's: I love castles, especially this one. The nice shading of light blue used for the brick, and the epic night sky with the dark blue clouds near the end of the stage is just amazing. Plus, the music is awesome.

14. Elec Man's (in Dr. Wily's Revenge): While climbing this tower, you really feel like you are actually climbing a tower. The background looks like it's far in the back, making it look like it's a huge place, and the comforting factor of the last little bit before the end of the stage is pretty cool. Plus, the music is great.

15. Dr. Wily's 3rd stage in MM7: The atmosphere is pretty good, but what's mainly cool about this stage is the incredible music.

Well, that's all. Like I said at the beginning of this post, it's probably incomplete. But, if I can think of any others, I'll post it.
