~ Bass

Bass (known as フォルテ, Forte in Japanese) is the secondary antagonist of the classic Mega Man series.

Created by Dr. Wily to be a superior Robot Master in the same vein of design as Mega Man, he will do anything to complete his programmed objective. Unfortunately for Dr. Wily, this includes terminating any other robots that threaten to accomplish his goal before him.

He has been voiced by Koji Tobe (1995-1996), Nobuyuki Hiyama (1996, 1997-2012), and from 2021-onwards, he is currently voiced by Keiko Nemoto. In the English dub of Mega Man 8, he is voiced by Darryl Stogre.

Biography[]

Mega Man 7[]

After being defeated so many times by Mega Man, Dr. Wily studied Mega Man's blueprints, in hopes of creating a similar robot. During his research, he accidentally developed a powerful energy source that he called "Bassnium". With this new energy, he was able to develop Bass.

Believing that someday he might get arrested, Wily programmed Bass and other robots to look for him in case he went missing for too long. After Wily remains in jail for three months, Bass wakes up and starts looking for Wily, releasing him from the prison with little effort. As Megaman gives chase to Wily, he meets with Bass, and the two have a brief fight. Bass deceives Mega Man, making him believe he was an ally.

Later on, Mega Man finds Bass again, seemingly wounded. Mega Man invites him to go to Dr. Light's lab for repairs. Once in the lab, Dr. Light repairs him and makes some enhancements on him. As a way of thanks, Bass blows up the lab, revealing his true intentions. Wily mocks Mega Man for being too naive, since Bass was his creation all along. Mega Man goes after Wily in his new Skull Castle, finding Bass again. Mega Man defeats him, but he simply retreats. He finds Bass once again, but this time Bass fuses with his pet robot Treble, so Mega Man fuses with Rush for an even fight, defeating Bass once again. Later on, after Mega Man defeats Dr. Wily, Bass appears and rescues Wily.

Mega Man 8[]

Bass is seen fighting Mega Man at the beginning of the game. When asked why he is fighting Mega Man, Bass responds by attempting to shoot Mega Man. This leads to Mega Man hitting him into an elevator shaft where he is tied up with steel cables. Roll interrupts the battle, and Mega Man leaves to take care of some things. Bass escapes from the cables by shooting them, and prepares for his next fight.

Bass shows up in the 3rd level of the Wily Tower, where he fights Mega Man. He uses the Evil Energy to make his attacks stronger and allow him to use his Treble Boost. He has no weaknesses in this fight. Mega Man defeats Bass, and Bass vows to defeat Mega Man before teleporting away.

Mega Man Battle & Chase[]

In Mega Man Battle & Chase, Bass appears as one of the ten playable characters. His vehicle is the Treble Darkstar which is a balanced machine using his attacks like the Bass Buster and Bass Blast. He entered the competitionto compete against his rival. If the player doesn't play as him on Grand Prix mode, he/she will face him as the second-to-last opponent before his creator.

If the player wins as him, he is not satisfied about defeating Mega Man since it only a race and wants the latter defeated in a real battle. In the original Japanese version, Wily contacts him to demands the bounty money, though the former ignores the latter and leaves it on the beach.

Mega Man & Bass[]

Bass starts distrusting Wily, rebelling against him and deciding to defeat Mega Man by himself. Although he had many attempts, he never managed to defeat Megaman. Wily then starts doubting Bass's abilities, so he creates a powerful robot named King in order to test Bass. However, King rebels against him, starting a war of his own. Disgusted, Bass goes after King just to prove himself, getting really mad when he discovers that it was Wily who created King. He goes after Wily and defeats him, so Wily reveals his plans, also revealing that he had a plan for a new King. But, before he had a chance to show him, Protoman appears and destroys the computer with the plans. Wily demands that Bass attacks Proto Man, but he refuses to obey, saying that he doesn't take orders from anyone.

He also appears as a CD in Astro Man's stage.

Mega Man 9[]

Bass' blueprints can be seen in the game of Mega Man 9.

Mega Man 10[]

Bass is a downloadable character along with Treble for Mega Man 10. On the re-release of the game as part of Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, Bass can be unlocked by completing the game once or through a secret code at the title screen.

Other Media[]

Super Smash Bros.[]

Bass appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a trophy alongside Treble. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Bass appears during Mega Man's Final Smash Mega Legends to aid the Mega Mans in shooting a massive energy beam with Proto Man. He also appears as a primary attack type spirit that is fought in a Stamina mode spirit battle on the Battlefield form of Wily Castle against Mega Man and a metal Duck Hunt with increased powers to their shooting items.
