Mega Man was a 1995-1996 Japanese-American animated series that was based on the Capcom Mega Man video game franchise. It follows the adventure of Mega Man, about a super-powered android that helps his creator Dr. Light fight against the villainous Dr. Willy and his army of robots.

Mega-Pinocchio (Season 1, Episode 3)
After saving an interesting scientist named Dr. Petto, Mega Man gets offered the chance to be transformed into a real human. While it's a very far-fetched idea, Mega Man is compelled by it and takes Dr. Petto up on the offer. Little does Mega know that "Dr. Petto" was really a robot created by Dr. Wiley. Wiley implants a mind control chip in Mega Man's head and uses him to do his dirty work. And there's nothing Mega Man can do to resist his orders.

Cold Steel (Season 1, Episode 11)
Dr. Wiley's robots disguise themselves like a rock band to unleash a mind controlling music. At the first performance, they hypnotize the crowd to go to Mt. Shasta to work on Dr. Wiley's tower. Dr. Wiley then broadcasts the music over the city to increase the number of slaves working on the tower. Cold Steel gave a CD to Roll who put it in Dr. Light's CD player; when Dr. Light listens to the CD, he becomes a slave who goes to Mt. Shasta and helps Dr. Wiley finish the tower. With the tower complete, Dr. Wiley broadcasts his signal around the world and hypnotizes every one. Only Mega Man, Roll, and a young deaf girl named Mary remain unaffected. They travel to Mt. Shasta and eventually destroy the tower.

Night of the Living Monster Bots (Season 2, Episode 6)
Dr. Willy plays mad scientist (more than usual) and creates a line of robots based on classic horror film monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Mummy. He plans to use the robots to blackmail the world- either they pay to watch the monster movies he makes using his new robots, or he will send the robots out to smash their cities. As part of his plan, he kidnaps an English actress and hypnotizes her into thinking that she is a vampire.

Curse of the Lion Men (Season 2, Episode 7)
Dr. Wiley's robots discover humanoid lion creatures who use their strange powers to turn people into lions and make robots obey them. Both Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are transformed and it's up to Mega Man to change them back.

Bad Day at Peril Park (Season 2, Episode 12)
Dr. Wiley's amusement park, Fun World, is really a front to hypnotize the visitors into robots. A boy named Bobby runs away from human robots under Wiley's command; he runs into Mega Man and Roll who at first don't believe the story. After fighting the "robots" off and discovering a ID on the belt of one robot, they believe Bobby's story and go to the park. Over several rides they fight off Dr. Wiley's robots only to have Gutsman kidnap Bobby. In the haunted castle, the final ride, Dr. Wiley's mind control process is revealed: the souvenir rings and a mind control beam make the people into Dr. Wiley "robots." Bobby is turned into a robot, reunited with his parents (also under Wiley's control) and attacks Mega Man. Mega Man destroys the control device and releases Bobby, his parents and everyone else.
