Spring Man

Spring Man (スプリングマン) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily. His body has over 2000 springs, being very light and able to do high jumps. However, this gives him trouble to move around, specially up and downstairs. Spring Man attacks by throwing springs from his body with Wild Coil, extendable punches, and catching opponents to hit them in the ceiling with a high jump.

If Thunder Bolt is used against him, it will cause him to become magnetic, gaining a few new attacks.

In Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Spring Man uses the Surprise Boxer, a tricky vehicle that uses springs to absorb shocks and attack the opponents with punches. He entered the race to buy heavy parts for his body with the prize money. If the player win the game with him, he buys several accessories, but exaggerates and can barely move.

Strategy
Spring Man will run up to the center of the room and preforms two spring punches, then when he lands, he uses his Wild Coil(if there are not any on-screen). The Wild Coil bounces across the room on the floor and off the walls, there are only 5 safe spots, which are between the Coils, this is due to the coil bouncing in the same spot every time. After this, Spring Man jumps into the position he started the pattern with.
