Proto Man is a playable character in this game as well. But unlike in Mega Man 9, he is not a downloadable character. All enemies and obstacles do double the damage they do to Mega Man to Proto man. As Proto Man, there are a few items in the shop and the prices are increased, for example, an E Tank costs 40 screws.
In the middle of Wily's Castle, he's infected with virus and collapses, like Roll as she's infected by Roboenza.

Proto Man acts one of the items for Smash Tour in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. He reflects items used against the player, either on the board or in a match. He is also a trophy.
He is also a downloadable costume for Mii Gunners.
Trophy Descriptions[]
Wii U[]
"A prototype robot developed by Dr. Light. After his completion, a critical problem was found in his energy core. He fled Dr. Light's care to die alone but was then recovered by Dr. Wily and converted into a fighting machine. Since then, he's been both friend and foe to Mega Man and always something of a lone wolf."
