Spark Shock

Spark Shock (スパークショック) is Spark Man's Special Weapon. Its system generates an energy ball that can short-circuit electronic components, temporarily paralyzing enemies. However, it is not effective against robots with insulated coating. Only a few enemies, like Magnet Man, can be damaged by this weapon.

Mega Man 3
Spark Shock is obtained by defeating Spark Man and can be used to paralyze enemies, and is some cases, damage them. A downside is that only two enemies can be stunned at a time, and Mega Man cannot change weapons while there's one stunned.

It is effective against Magnet Man, Doc Robot (Air Man and Bubble Man), Spark Man (2nd Encounter), and Wily Machine 3 (1st Form).

Needle Man, Hard Man, Doc Robot (Flash Man), Yellow Devil MK-II, Holograph Mega Mans, and Gamma are immune to Spark Shock.

Mega Man: The Wily Wars
Like all weapons from the first three games, the Spark Shock can be used in the Wily Tower mode. It is effective against the Iron Ball and the first form of the Wily Machine.

Buster Rod. G and the second form of the Wily Machine are immune to it.

Mega Man III
Like Mega Man 3, this weapon is obtained after defeating Spark Man and can be used to paralyze enemies; however, Mega Man is now able to switch weapons while enemies are stunned. This can come in very handy when dealing with Shield Attackers and Jumbigs.

Spark Shock is the weakness of Snake Man and Giant Suzy.

Dive Man, Drill Man, Skull Man, Punk, and Wily Machine are immune to this weapon.

Super Adventure Rockman
The Spark Shock is the last Special Weapon obtained by Mega Man in the game. It is Ra Thor's weakness.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
The Spark Shock is used by Mega Man in the upcoming fighting game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, where it appears as his Up Smash move.

Instead of using one Buster to fire spark-like projectiles, he transforms both of his Busters into long electrodes, similar to those of Spark Man himself, which he uses to emit a powerful burst of electricity above him that hits opponents multiple times. Since Mega Man uses both arms to perform the attack however, he does eventually need to vent out the excess heat from them.

Capacity
Spark Shock uses one weapon energy unit in Mega Man 3 and Mega Man III. With a full weapon energy gauge, it can be used 28 times in Mega Man 3 and 19 times in Mega Man III.

Mega Man 3
Known damage values in units for Mega Man 3.


 * Spark Shock freezes the Kamegoro and their shells, but does not damage them.

Mega Man (Ruby Spears)
Mega Man uses the Spark Shock and Gyro Attack at the same time in the episode Cold Steel. When obtaining the weapon, an electrode can be seen in its design, probably for firing the sparks. He uses it to electrocute Cut Man and Guts Man.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)
In the comic book series, the Spark Shock (misnamed Spark Shot) is used by Mega Man in issue 32.

Rockman World 3
The Spark Shock (misnamed Spark Shot) is only used by Mega Man when he tries several weapons against Punk, all of them being ineffective. This is also the only time he uses a Special Weapon after Spark Man's defeat.
