The second major spin-off series, Mega Man Legends (aka Rockman DASH in Japan), transported the 2D platformer far from its roots, into the distant and bustling genre of 1990s 3D action adventures. The player controls Mega Man Volnutt as he traverses what remains of the planet, searching for power sources in underground ruins and battling against feral Reaverbots and the Bonne family of air pirates. Mega Man Legends has minimal platforming, instead focusing on exploration, shooting, and story-driven cutscenes that swap between lighthearted humor and tragic, twisting plotlines.
