The internet went wild for Baby Yoda in the new Star Wars series The Mandalorian, so Sega decided to follow this up recently with the reveal of Baby Sonic. These aren't the only baby versions of notable characters that have ever existed, though.
As many pointed out, Baby Mario has been around for a long time and we even saw a Baby Crash Bandicoot in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. What about Capcom's blue bomber Mega Man, though - does he have a baby version? Of course, he does. In fact, there's been a baby design for him since the release of Rockman 2 (the Japanese version of Mega Man 2) in 1988.
Since the reveal of Baby Sonic, Protodude, the guy who runs the fantastic Mega Man fan site Rockman Corner, decided to remind the internet Baby Mega Man exists, by showing off official artwork featured inside the flaps of Rockman's 2 box art. As can be seen above, there's also an image of Mega Man as an adult wearing a jacket.
The next Mega Man game on the way to the Switch is the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Unfortunately, you won't be able to play as a baby version of the character in this release and it's also been delayed until 25th February.

In my honest opinion, he's not that cute
This Megaman Powered Up was the cutest Megaman on PSP.
PAC-MAN next, please.
These are cuter:
@Joeynator3000 OH GOD NO!
@Anti-Matter I'm still disappointed I never got to play Mega Man Powered Up. I was hoping it'd get a Vita port at some point, but alas...
It's not a huge surprise considering there's baby Pac-Man, baby Donkey Kong, baby Ridley (birdie). It will never end.
On a side note, how does a robot grow up?
Now that's just funny.
I was actually looking through the Mega Man 2 gallery in the Mega Man Legacy Collection and saw the adult, jacket wearing Mega Man and took a screenshot of it, but I had NO idea that there was a baby Mega Man
@Joeynator3000 @Octarian They kinda already did, Although, technically speaking, it's Pac-Man's child.

@Elvie ....I'm too scared to click on the link...also, you didn't @Octarian right. lol
Shouldn't baby megaman be like, a thumb drive or something?
What's next? Baby Geralt? Baby Master Chief? Baby... SEPHIROTH?
The adult Megaman with the jacket is the closest in-cannon resemblance to the version of him from The Protomen. And I'm all for it.
Oh no! Everyone is getting "Babality"!!
What kind of monster would do such a thing?!
Could it be... is Mickey Mouse behind all this madness... just because he wasn't invited into Smash?!
Oh no, Baby Yoda was just his test subject, he is out to get everyone!
Metroid Prime 4 is coming soon, he might aim for a Baby Samus next! 😱
Eh not really that cute, its like the artist didn’t have their heart in it.
No no and no....baby Yoda is still superior in cuteness
I want Baby Pink Gold Peach.
@J-Plap totally agree, only the PSP game "MegaMan Powered up" characters are cute in the MegaMan world
Oh man, it's 90's "kids version of adult characters" trend all over again.
I can hear Tom & Jerry Kids theme song playing in my head right now. Except this time Mega Man and Sonic also there.
@Anti-Matter If these chibi Megaman were released on a Nintendo system, Megaman would be considered ruined forever. Another example of double standards in favor of Sony in the industry.
Hope we get Baby Mario next
I always thought the baby version thing was really stupid. There's nothing worse than when the excitement of unlocking a new character in Mario Kart fizzles as you realize your new character is Baby Peach.
Eh, not that really cute. It looks like the normal Mega Man, but only smaller with a bunch of baby items.
Not a fan of the baby Mega Man.
Baby Yoda FTW
@BubbleSymphony oh no not that series!
Honestly this is creepy. It looks like a fully grown dude cosplaying as a baby.
Not mega "Man", but Mega Baby!
Buy yeah not that cute.
@Kalmaro XD
1988? Interesting.
