Mega Man: The Wily Wars is a game in the classic Mega Man series, released for the Sega Mega Drive (known in North America as the Sega Genesis) in Japan and Europe, and was originally only released on the now-defunct Sega Channel in North America until it was re-released on the Sega Genesis Mini. It is a collection of three existing games (specifically Mega Man 1. Mega Man 2, and Mega Man 3), with graphics and sound effects updated to match the power of the Mega Drive, and minor gameplay changes.

The collection also includes a unique sub-game known as Wily Tower, unlocked by clearing all three games on a single save file. In it, Mega Man only has to face three Robot Masters (collectively known as the Genesis Unit) and four Wily stages, and before each stage, he can customize his weapon set to include up to eight weapons and three support weapons from the three existing games present in the collection.

Representation in MaGMML

Being mostly a collection of existing games, Mega Man: The Wily Wars provides very little content to work with, with even the Wily Tower sub-game only including new bosses. Because of this, it is one of the least represented games in the MaGMML series.
