The term mecha (メカ meka) refer to both scientific ideas and science fiction genres that centers on robots or machines controlled by people. Mechas are typically depicted as "walker" types of mobile robots.
Mecha vary greatly in size and shape, but are distinguished from vehicles by their humanoid or biomorphic appearance and size—bigger than a human. Different subgenres exist, with varying connotations of realism. The concept of Super Robot and Real Robot are two such examples found in Japanese anime and manga. Alternatively, in the original Japanese context of the word, "mecha" is an abbreviation that may refer to mobile machinery/vehicles (including cars and aircrafts) in general, manned or otherwise. While the distinction is often hazy, mecha typically doesn't refer to form-fitting powered armors such as Iron Man's suit or robots without pilots. They are usually much larger than the wearer, like Iron Man's enemy the Iron Monger, and possess a cockpit from which they are operated.
In this context, mecha first appeared in the Super Robot Wars franchise in Super Robot Wars II, where the robots are controlled by pilots. While Gundam, Mazinger, and Getter Robo features mechas, their versions in the first Super Robot Wars game technically aren't mecha due to being anthropomorphic super deformed robots without pilots, like the SD Gundam series.
