Mega Man 2.5D is a fan-made platform game designed by Peter Sjöstrand and Edgar Cebolledo for PC based on the Mega Man series. It originally started as a fan animation that he made after being inspired by building Legos of characters from the Mario and Mega Man series and later creating the character Mega Man in Autodesk Maya. There are three game modes available: single-player, cooperative multiplayer, and competitive multiplayer, all of which are offline only, with levels in single-player being only playable solo and cooperative levels being only playable with two people. The game primarily takes content from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3, but content and characters from Mega Man 5 and Mega Man 9, among others, are also included.

The animation received positive reception, praised as being an exciting take on the Mega Man series with hopes that it might become an actual game in the future. The game itself received positive reception, particularly for its authenticity and unique ideas such as the 3D camera and co-op gameplay.
