**Mega Man: The Wily Wars** is a 1994 video game compilation developed by Minakuchi Engineering and published by Capcom for the Sega Genesis¹. The compilation features remakes of the first three Mega Man games, alongside a new game called Wily Tower, only unlockable with a completed save file¹. The game was released in Japan and Europe on October 21, 1994, and April 3, 1995, respectively¹. The physical North American release was cancelled, with it only seeing the light of day as part of the Sega Channel service¹. In 2019, The Wily Wars was one of 42 games included in the Sega Genesis Mini ¹². In 2021, it got a physical re-release on cartridge, North America included, by the company Retro-Bit ³.

The game follows Mega Man as he relives his past adventures in which Dr. Wily dispatches a set of powerful robots to take over the world which must be single-handedly stopped as before¹. After completing his travels through time, Mega Man must use all he has learned to tackle the Wily Tower¹. The player battles Quick Man in Mega Man 2. All three games have the player control Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) through a series of platform stages which can be completed in any order. At the end of each stage is a boss battle with a Robot Master. The player will acquire that Robot Master's special weapon, which can then be selected and used throughout the rest of the game. Each game also features one or more support items that aid the player in reaching places the player cannot reach by normal means. Each Master Weapon and support item has limited energy that can be replenished by picking up items left by fallen enemies. The compilation features an upgrade to the original games' visuals, as well as arranged music¹⁴. An important change is that the compilation provides battery back-up for each game. As a result, it is possible to continue Mega Man from a later point in the game, though Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 lost the password feature. The Wily Wars removes several glitches present in the NES versions of the game¹.
