Rockman & Forte (ロックマン&フォルテ), known as Mega Man & Bass in the western world, is (as of June 19, 2008) the last game in the original Mega Man series. This game bears a striking resemblance to Mega Man 8, not only in style, but in excessive graphic detail.

Similarly to Mega Man X4, the player has the option to choose one of two characters to play through. In this run, Forte is chosen.

FractalFusion takes apart the game with some glitches that allow Forte to zip around in walls. This run is 5:23 faster than the previous run, mostly due to an item called Counter Attacker (Cost Attack in Mega Man & Bass GBA) that allows more damage to a boss if Forte is low on health. This also explains why Forte takes much damage throughout the run. Read the author's comments for more details.

Note: This movie contains a death. It is intentional, and saves time.
