To this day I am blown away by just how excellent a strong amount of music from the NES megaman games is given the limitations of the system, and them basically being the frontier for an entire new genre and way to compose. Even by MM6, they still had a couple bangers up their sleeves.
And they even omitted the DPCM channel, despite everything from Mega Man 3 onwards using the more powerful MMC3 boards. Likely because Capcom didn't want to deal with the hardware quirks of the DPCM channel.
As far as Tomahawk Man's weakness to Plant Man's Plant Barrier, the best I can think of is that it involves flowers as as symbol of love and peace in contrast to war and violence. For example, hippies were known as "flower children" who opposed the Vietnam War.
I love your theories man, so cool and creative. Ever since revisting these soundtracks I've been seeing your comments repeatedly, so now I'm always specifically looking for them to remind myself what boss's weakness is what as well as what the explanation for it is. Course I know Mega Man 6 like the back of my had because this game plagued me as a child, so when my cousin got me the Mega Man Anniversary collection for Christmas at 16, I got my shot at redemption and made this game my absolute bitch. It's actually not that difficult really, but it's my personal favorite one.
just in case anyone is curious, though i can't speak for all native americans, i am native american and i think this representation is cool. top 5 robot masters for me
I think it’s pretty cool that the “America” robot is Native American and not a burger eating guy, so pretty cool, and a nice choice in my opinion. Though, it’s sad to see that his level is more like a West Movie that he has nothing to do with. Apparently, Frog Man may have more Native American connections if you think about it, even though he lives in a Rainy Street level.
As stereotypical as this stage is, I still enjoy the hell outta this theme, but Mega Man 6's OST is a masterpiece, also Tomahawk Man has a great weapon too, I just wish the arc wasn't so low.
One of the best theme for me in 6. I love the tomahawk weapon in this game and love the fight against tomahawk man too😁. Oh and I love the sound of bullet fire from those enemy from the beginning it goes well with the theme for me 🤣.
I was dropped down in this place I don't know if anything here could exist I was just wandering when I saw something that I don't know There's this weapon beside me I don't know what this is Till there's one who said: "That is my weapon that I use for my defense." And now that I have known him The man wielding the SILVER TOMAHAWK Flyin' like a kite Going up high Soaring up to the sky... The lyrics I wrote for this tune ten years ago.
This is the only theme in this game I can ever half ass remember. I think he has the coolest design and his weapon is pretty decent. Too bad his stage is boring as hell.
This whole game was pretty boring. The music was mostly generic and uninspired and the bosses were just a complete fucking joke. They were too easy with only a few patterns with Plant Man being the absolute worst of them all since he can only jump to attack!
@@sebastiann.8088 Unspired? To create Tomahawk man they were inspired by the American ancestors and their customs, in addition to the design of the level is completely inspired by the way of life of Native Americans in the Far West, where they fought cowboys (English) against Indians (Americans) native people). Genre music? The theme of screen select is one of the best there is, in addition to the OST of the levels are very well developed, especially those of Tomahawk Man, Knight Man, Yamato Man and Blizzard man. It is not the worst game, on the contrary, it is an undervalued jewel ..
@@sebastiann.8088 Inferior? that's not true. Maybe the 3 are superior because is one of the two Megaman (3 & 2) Because they were the ones who revolutionized the classic saga, but the 4 ... Not so much, in Soundtrack it wins the 6, in ambience ... The only good setting of the 4 is that of the level of Pharaoh Man, Toad Man, Bright Man, Dive Man & the first level of the Cossack castle. So, Megaman 6 is better than 4, it seems to you or not.
I'm pretty sure Yamato Man's weakness to Tomahawk Man's Silver Tomahawk is symbolism of the Navajo language being used as code in the Pacific Theater of WW2, which helped beat back the Japanese since they and the Axis compatriots couldn't decipher it.
@@civilwildman I mean, probably not. Im not a weapons expert or own any weapons, so i cant go out and toss anything thats like a silver tomahawk to see if its true
@@sebastiann.8088 A similar worldwide theme was explored in 8, but everyone often forgets the story about meteors and energy resources in favor of the camptastic voice acting, wherein Rock sounds like Tails, Dr. Light sounds like Elmer Fudd with a stutter, and they can't even pronounce Bass's name right. And that's to say nothing of the bots themselves, they don't even _attempt_ to sound like where they're from, instead opting for a flamboyant squeaky chipmunk guy for Aqua Man, a Whoopi Goldberg impersonator for Clown Man, a posh fancy rich guy for Sword Man, and my sweet blubbering _Jesus H.Tapdancing Christ_ I cannot get over Grenade Man and Frost Man!
@@ilikecurry2345 How exactly were those stereotypical? Tomahawk Man at least fits the category because he looks like your average Native American. Megaman 8 robot masters don't look like anything referencing culture so therefore it does not count. And remember that voice acting in a game doesn't count anywhere outside of it's native country AKA Japan. When it was released overseas is when all the voices were changed. Here in Japan where Megaman 6 was originally made already had an existing Tomahawk Man so this is proof that it was indeed a stereotype. Not to mention some of the other robot masters like Yamato Man being a stereotypical samurai and Flame Man clearly representing someone from India with a turban. Do ANY of the Megaman 8 robot masters even LOOK like they are from certain countries? No they don't. I rest my case ;)
I feel like all the robot masters in Mega Man 6 represent all the main countries that fought in WWII. Tomahawk Man: America Yamato Man: Japan Knight Man: England Centaur Man: Greece Plant Man: Italy Flame Man: Several middle eastern countries Wind Man: Germany Blizzard Man: Russia
I love how the drums sound like a horse galloping
Hahaha and then when u listen to the remake one they give u horse gallop in there😁. Though I still prefer this original as its best forever.
They do!
Wow I never noticed that!
They do!
Yea! Its cool, and I love that part of the level with the sunset
To this day I am blown away by just how excellent a strong amount of music from the NES megaman games is given the limitations of the system, and them basically being the frontier for an entire new genre and way to compose. Even by MM6, they still had a couple bangers up their sleeves.
mega man 6 has the best nes megaman soundtrack for me. clearly they saved the best 8-bit stuff for last.
heh... frontier, I get it...
And they even omitted the DPCM channel, despite everything from Mega Man 3 onwards using the more powerful MMC3 boards. Likely because Capcom didn't want to deal with the hardware quirks of the DPCM channel.
I just realized that part of his theme, particularly between 0:44 and 0:55, sounds similar to the boss select screen. That's pretty cool imo
@wilhyoun815 SCS Stop copy and pasting this comment
@wilhyoun815 SCS yes
That's what I love about his theme! And it's one of the reasons he's my favorite from the MM6 Robot Masters!
that's my favorite part of this song tbh
And just before that part it uses a melody also heard in Boomer Kuwanger's stage BGM on megaman X released the same year.
Probably the same composer.
This and boomer kuwanger (from Mega man X) are made from the same composer
That really makes sense, I always thought Boomer Kuwanger's theme sounded like a 16 bit version of this
@@TheBfutgreg For Boomer's theme, if you listen closely, she actually took a pattern from Cut Man's stage music, since they had similar weapons.
@@skullmn3534 0:43 - 0:45 this part also appears in boomers theme at exactly the same time to
No wonder they're amazing
This is by far the best song in the game and 1 of the best songs in the entire series.
Word. Close second being Storm Eagle
As far as Tomahawk Man's weakness to Plant Man's Plant Barrier, the best I can think of is that it involves flowers as as symbol of love and peace in contrast to war and violence. For example, hippies were known as "flower children" who opposed the Vietnam War.

Or we could just say that Tomahawk Man is deathly allergic to flowers. :P
no tomahawk man is weak to plant barrier only because indianins hate eating poisonous plants
Nope, he is a ground type. So he's weak to a grass type move
Far out man ☮️✌️
My favorite theme from this game.
Mine too
Mine too x2
Mine too x3
My favorite of the entire franchise. This song most definitely slaps.
@@ninjaf00t MM6 has the best soundtrack overall....well *maybe*...MM2 is certainly full of iconic songs but also Crash Man XD
every single time im walking to school i blast this theme on my headphones
just in case anyone is curious, though i can't speak for all native americans, i am native american and i think this representation is cool. top 5 robot masters for me

@@cedriccox9480 well I think the idea was the stage has a cowboys and Indians type motif which is why it looks like the wild west
Neat
@@cedriccox9480 Mega Man himself represents as an American robot as well.
I'm native and always thought he was one of the coolest (certainly in MM6). The theme never bothered me in the slightest.
Te quiero mucho Tomahawk Man❤️
Tu tema es una joyita wn💎💎💎
One of the few songs in the series that doesn’t repeat the intro 🔥song and intro
These were the good old days when playing this all High School year in class.
In class? Your school had a public access NES?
As stereotypical as this stage is, I still enjoy the hell outta this theme, but Mega Man 6's OST is a masterpiece, also Tomahawk Man has a great weapon too, I just wish the arc wasn't so low.
I really like this level with the cowboys found it most unique in the series never seen before, with a very unique boss too.
The good 'ol US of A. With a Native American character represented respectfully to boot! (Even if his weapon is clearly not a real tomahawk)
Do parts of this remind anyone else of Boomer Kuwangers stage? Particularly around like 40 seconds?
zzyzx0788 I think the composer is the same for both musics.
It's made from the same composer of this theme
I heard it right from the first time I played it
This music makes me go fast but ...
I also like to hear it long as I can
Fun fact the guy who wrote this song composed boomer kuwanger's theme in mega man x, which is why they sound so similar
One of the best theme for me in 6. I love the tomahawk weapon in this game and love the fight against tomahawk man too😁. Oh and I love the sound of bullet fire from those enemy from the beginning it goes well with the theme for me 🤣.
My second favorite song in MM6.
Mr. X's stage being my first.
This one is actually my favorite from Megaman 6
Me too
My favorite is Wily stage and this is my second favorite
I love this theme so much! The Sunset is where the theme REALLY hits the spot.
Complete Works version is _even better_
My favorite theme and level from the classic series.
From 0:00 you can really hear the horses running in the music. 100% texas cowboys lol
I was dropped down in this place
I don't know if anything here could exist
I was just wandering when I saw something that I don't know
There's this weapon beside me
I don't know what this is
Till there's one who said:
"That is my weapon that I use for my defense."
And now that I have known him
The man wielding the SILVER TOMAHAWK
Flyin' like a kite
Going up high
Soaring up to the sky...
The lyrics I wrote for this tune ten years ago.
Best song out of the classic Mega Man games. 1-6.
0:44 My favorite part!
Es unos de mis niveles favoritos de la saga de megaman
I'm not very good at Mega Man, but they never fail at their soundtracks!
0:38 Captain Commando theme. Which is also used for Cyclops Theme in Marvel vs X-Men
legitimately surprised at how strong this game's soundtrack is, even though some of it is repetitive. this is great
I love this so much 😍
Perfect theme on a ride home
And I've been wondering where did I hear that part. A like from me ;)
This reminds me of 70s disco songs like "Ma Baker"
this entire stage was a fucking tech demo
Yeah. Great visual tricks, but the level was too much of a starter stage for someone who wasn’t a starter robot master.
This song got randomly got stuck in my head. Specifically, the beginning with the drums lol
The Classic Mega Man version of Wild West!
El soundtrack de megaman 6 esta infravalarado

The boss and level are just awesome. Do I need to say more?
I started with this stage because of the music...
...but now I regret it because of the adapters and the Beat parts.

Am I crazy for getting Iron Maiden vibes from this?
Drums use triplets like The Trooper
On the boxart he's like AAAAAA
think the sunrise of late afternnon
I think they spent to much time on this song making it great. But they didn't have enough time to do that with the other songs in Mega Man 6
Any Team Fortress 2 fans remember a VSH map of Mega Man 6?
Damn, I should check this out.
🔥 🔥
This theme sounds similar to boomer kuwanger's thene fron megaman x

or it could just be that fact a tomahawk can destroy lightweight armour
@@aircall2065 Can you validate that?

Im not a weapons expert or own any weapons, so i cant go out and toss anything thats like a silver tomahawk to see if its true
Next time, don't back up such an outrageous claim without valid evidence.
@@civilwildman you expect the man to have armor laying around in his house and have a tomahawk
Is it just me, or do I imagine the bots in this game (and 8) speaking with the accents of their respective nations?
You could say Megaman 6 was the most stereotypical lol
I also do(I also imagen quick man with an Australian accent)
