Wily Machine (ワイリーマシン Wairī Mashin, written as "ワイリーマシーン" in some sources) is the name of the machines that Dr. Wily uses in the end of most games from the original Mega Man series. Most of them have Wily's flying saucer on them and have two forms of attack, with the second form's weak point being the cockpit and Dr. Wily himself. Starting with Mega Man 4, the Wily Machines have been followed up by an escape pod, named the Wily Capsule. Also, starting with Mega Man 4, Wily Machines have had an unmistakable skull motif.

Wily Machine 10
The Wily Machine 10[note 1] is the penultimate boss in Mega Man 10, a flying machine with a skull wearing a large bicorne.
In the first phase, the Wily Machine attacks by launching huge missiles at two vertical levels in addition to firing small homing missiles. The large missiles can be jumped on as a platform by the player to reach the skull itself. After destroying the skull, Wily will be visible and its attack pattern changes. It is weak to Solar Blaze.
In the second phase, the Wily Machine flies around at the top of the screen and fires spheres that can paralyze the player. After a while, it will fire two electric balls that move to the floor and ceiling, creating an electric line between them and that moves. The only way to avoid this is to move under the machine's lower jaw. It is weak to Water Shield.

Notes
- ↑ The Wily Machine from Mega Man 10 was only refered as a "Wily Machine" in official sources, but as the one from Mega Man 11 is named Wily Machine 11, it is assumed that it follows the naming pattern, thus being Wily Machine 10.
