The Sega Saturn release of Mega Man 8 has a few changes compared to the original PlayStation release, the main ones being that Cut Man and Wood Man are hidden bosses with new boss themes (Cut Man is hidden in Duo's Stage, while Wood Man in Search Man's Stage) and Tengu Man's stage has a different theme. These three music themes are all present in Mega Man Maker.
Mega Man 8 has a number of distinctions compared to other games in the Mega Man classic series:
- It is so far the only mainstream Mega Man game that has full-motion video cutscenes.
- It is the second Mega Man game where Mega Man can swim. (The first was Mega Man 3 for DOS.)
- It is so far the only Mega Man game with no Yoku Blocks.
- It is the only game after Mega Man 6 where neither Rush Coil nor Rush Jet are available. (There are however Rush Jet sections in Tengu Man's stage and Wily Stage 2 where the player is piloting Rush Jet.)
