Mega Man Gigamix, known as Rockman Gigamix (ロックマンギガミックス, Rokkuman gigamikkusu) in Japan, is a follow-up manga by Hitoshi Ariga first published in three volumes between 2009-2010. It contains new stories, one based on Mega Man 3 and the others being a continuation for Mega Man Megamix. The plots of the stories other than "Asteroid Blues" had already been created at the end of Megamix, more than 10 years before the publication of Gigamix (although, according to Ariga, many of the plots were reworked during the period of absence). However, due to the cessation of the Comic BomBom magazine, which published Megamix in its extra issues, and other factors, Ariga lost his writing space for a long period of time. As a remnant of this, "Burning Wheel" includes a background ad for Street Fighter III, which would have been Capcom's latest title if the chapter had been originally scheduled to appear in the magazine, and the inclusion of Mega Man V-related elements from "White Nightmare" onward is due to the fact that V was scheduled to be released as a Nintendo Power peripheral title at the time, and was therefore supposed to be a current topic.
