Magma Man

Magma Man (マグママン) is one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 9 whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Magma Man was built to oversee safety operations and manage a geothermal power plant. He is able to withstand incredibly high temperatures and loves to visit hot spas. The lavafalls in his stage have the same effect as the laser beams from Quick Man's stage in Mega Man 2 and the laser beams from Turbo Man's stage in Mega Man 7 wherein they cause Mega Man to die instantly.

Strategy
His pattern is that he jumps and shoots his Magma Bazooka. Since he's always ignited, his blasts are charged.

His weakness is the Tornado Blow, which not only makes him take damage, but also blows out the flames on his back. Until then, he can only fire normal shots until he recharges.

Stage Information
Magma Man's stage involve two main death hazards:


 * There are a lot of magma pits in this stage. If Mega Man falls in one, he is destroyed instantly. He is able to walk on them without being destroyed when taking damage, and Rush can stand on the lava too.
 * There are also large timed magma pipes, that also destroy Mega Man instantly if he touches them. However, those can be hardened by Concrete Man's Concrete Shot and then destroyed by Splash Woman's Laser Trident.

Stage Enemies

 * Changkey Dragon
 * Fire Totem
 * Jump Roller
 * Popo Heli

Trivia

 * The first episode of Mega Man: Upon a Star has several (over 20) fire robots called Magma Man that were created by Dr. Wily in Mount Fuji. They aren't related to this Magma Man.
 * If Mega Man stands really close to the magma falling in his stage without touching it, a small spark effect can be seen near him.
 * Magma Man's weapon, the Magma Bazooka, is nearly identical to Heat Man's weapon, Atomic Fire. The only differences are the Magma Bazooka has diagonal shots while Atomic Fire hast more levels of charging.
 * In the credits, Magma Man is using his bazookas to heat up the bottom of a small hottub that Dr. Light is in.
