Bounce Man

"I bet you can't bounce like this!"

- Bounce Man

Bounce Man, known as Rubber Man (ラバーマン) in Japan, is a Robot Master set to appear in Mega Man 11. He was originally developed as a crash test robot, but his stretching and bouncing abilities led him to become a fitness instructor, and his colorful body and friendly appearance made him a big hit with kids and adults alike. Despite being repurposed for combat by Dr. Wily and equipped with a Speed Gear, after which he took over an indoor amusement park, Bounce Man is still the same large, cheerful, childlike robot he always was, still viewing everything as one big game.

His Special Weapon, Bounce Ball, allows Mega Man to shoot three bouncy balls, which can be tilted up or down, that bounce off of walls and enemies several times before exploding in a burst of confetti.

Appearance
Bounce Man is designed like a bouncy rubber ball. He is a large, round, magenta robot with two beige buttons and two turqoise tubes on his chest. He has two stubby legs with large ball-shaped feet. His arms are long and rubbery, and his hands are also large balls with fingers. He has an antenna on his head, which has a small white ball at the end of it.

Trivia

 * Bounce Man's eyes are very similar in appearance to the eyes of Astro Man and Galaxy Man, as all three of them have digital displays for eyes.
 * Unlike the latter two, however, Bounce Man isn't space-themed.
 * Bounce Man's stage plays a similar role to Spring Man's stage of serving as a bounce-themed stage, but with the use of rubber balls instead of springs.
 * It's also similar to Clown Man's stage in that both stages are amusement parks, though Clown Man's is outdoors while Bounce Man's is indoors.
