Toad Man

Toad Man (トードマン) is a Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack. Like any frog, Toad Man jumps like there is no tomorrow. His weapon, the Rain Flush, can damage Mega Man regardless of where he is.

Strategy
Toad Man's attack pattern is very simple. It is also easily exploited, making him one of the easiest Robot Masters in the series. Toad Man will hop around the room. Slide under him to avoid getting hit. He will occasionally stop hopping to attack with his Rain Flush, which consumes the entire area with acid rain. Though the attack does a great deal of damage, it can be canceled altogether by shooting Toad Man before the attack is used. When Drill Bomb is used on him, it will deal high damage but the pattern is the same.

Trivia

 * Toad Man appears as No. 29 (DWN-029) in the credits of Mega Man 4. This is Ring Man's number, which appears with Pharaoh Man's number, which appears with Toad Man's number.


 * Toad Man's dislike is Snake Man, whereas Snake Man likes Toad Man. This may have to do with the fact that some snakes can eat toads without fear of poison.


 * He has a cameo appearance in Mega Man Powered Up as a decoration in Roll's "Rainy Day Roll" costume.


 * Many players consider Toad Man the easiest boss in Mega Man 4, as well as one of the easiest main bosses in Mega Man history. If the player shoots Toad Man after every hop, he will never attack. In the Game Gear game however, Toad Man hops considerably faster, making avoiding his jumps and attacking him more difficult.


 * Toad Man appears on the loading screen for Mega Man 7 in Mega Man: Anniversary Collection despite not appearing in the game.


 * Toad Man is one of the few animal-themed Robot Masters, along with Snake Man, Hornet Man, Sheep Man and (from the non-canon PC game) Shark Man.
 * Toad Man's weakness to Ring Boomerang in MMIV is sort of ironic. Because in many pieces of fiction set in medieval times have princes being turned into frogs, and the ailment reqiures the love of a princess, which is resembled by Ring Boomerang, as many people ask to be married whilst offering a ring to their significant other.
