Delicious 1UPs

Ever wonder how Mega Man absorbs the benefits of a 1UP? Shigeto Ikehara's Rockman manga sheds some light on the issue:


Apparently, 1UPs are edible "capsules" (pills). Rock is occasionally seen scoffing one or two of these down during the course of Ikehara's manga series, sometimes followed by a quick sip of an E-Tank to wash it all down. Cute.

I'm not entirely sure if this method of 1UP consumption ever applied to the games, but I do recall someone telling me that Rockman 4's game manual mentioned something along those lines....

  1. Wow... That's kinda funny... I never thought that before.. That 1UP must be very delicious =)) And maybe that E-Tank tasted like milk :)

  2. Wasn't there a topic on RPM about this? I believe Sub Tank was the one that made it, so you know that topic was fucking awesome.

    But I think it was lost after the crash. Not entirely sure.

  3. I favor very much that logical concept of 1-Ups. I am to assume this is from Megamix also? Man, I cannot wait for it's stateside release!

  4. @MegaMac: Not Megamix, Shigeo Ikehara's manga. Most of them done before the old Megamix even. He id Rockman 1~7, World 1~3, Irregular Hunter Rocman X, and also some original stuff. His manga was closer to the games in both design and story than Megamix, but that being said isn't as original, of course.

  8. That's a bad influence on children! Popping pills like that!

    ...but then Dr. Mario wasn't any help, either.
