DAVE’S ROBOT MASTER ARCHIVE
Stage layouts & sources
The game tabs reproduce the original stage-select portrait positions. The separate Robot-number view follows each Robot Master’s identifier, while plate numbers follow the 57-page archive sequence: games 1–7, then the three companion plates. Screen position, robot number and archive page are distinct ways to browse the collection.
These layouts record where the portraits appear; they do not prescribe a boss-fight or weakness order. The tables below record the original center text, portrait or emblem. Dave’s selection screen deliberately uses Mega Man in the center of all seven games; the surrounding boss positions stay the same. The center is decorative and adds no Robot Master to the roster.
PDF page numbers below count from the first page of each file. Printed page numbers are identified separately. Japanese manuals show original Famicom or Super Famicom screens; character names here match the English archive.
