Mega Man 8 is the eighth game in the classic Mega Man series. The game brings the overall size of objects back to a scale similar to the original NES Mega Man games, as opposed to the double-sized Mega Man 7. The game does, however, share a similar structure to 7 stage-wise, with the order consisting of an intro stage, four Robot Masters, a middle stage, four more Robot Masters, and finally Dr. Wily's castle. On top of this, the Rush Coil and Rush Jet utilities have been dropped, with the former being partially succeeded by the Mega Ball weapon. Finally, Mega Man now has the ability to swim underwater, and use uncharged Mega Buster shots even when he has a Special Weapon equipped.

Representation in MaGMML
Much like 7, the lack of official 8-bit sprites makes Mega Man 8 one of the less represented games in the MaGMML series. In Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, most devkit assets and character cameos worked around this by using sprites from Rockman 8 Famicom, a fangame that recreates Mega Man 8 in the style of the NES Mega Man games. Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 replaces the Rockman 8 Famicom sprites with custom sprites.
