This can include glitches abusing in-game mechanics and skipping items or even playing events out of sequence. Mega Man 5 released in December of 1992 is probably the origin of all the Proto Man is evil! nonsense as the story involved Proto Man supposedly taking over the world with eight robots.
Of course its really Dr.
Wily again.
The fifth installment of the original Mega Man series is noted for its substandard music and for the introduction of Beat a powerful robotic bird that proved itself highly useful against the final boss.

Mega Man 5 known as Rockman 5 Blues no Wana?! ロックマン5 ブルースの罠?! Rokkuman Faibu Burūsu no Wana?!? lit.
Rockman 5 Blues Trap?! in Japan is a video game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
It is the fifth game in the original Mega Man series and was originally released in Japan on December 4 1992.
It saw a release during the same month in North America and in 1993 in Europe. The plot takes place after the fourth defeat of the evil Dr.
Wily at the hands of the heroic robot Mega Man in the year 20XX.
Mega Mans brother and ally Proto Man uncharacteristically leads a group of menacing robots in attacks on the world and kidnaps his own creator Dr.
Light leaving Mega Man little choice but to take up arms in a fight against his once trusted sibling.
Mega Man 5 carries over the same graphical style and action-platforming gameplay as the four preceding chapters in the series.
The game introduces a new character Beat which the player can use as a weapon once a series of eight collectable letters are found. Mega Man 5 was met with an average to fairly positive critical reception with the one major complaint being its lack of originality in either its plot or gameplay.
Like other NES games in the series Mega Man 5 has been re-released in Japan on the PlayStation PlayStation Network and mobile phones in North America as part of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection and in both regions on the Wii Virtual Console.Source: Wikipedia.org
