Snake Man (スネークマン) is one of the more unusual Robot Masters created by Dr. Wily, and he is decorated as his name suggests, right down to the tail. He is a very slippery Robot Master that was created to investigate narrow areas. He was the first Robot Master created with an animal design.

Trivia

 * Snake Man is credited to liking Toad Man and disliking slugs; this most likely comes from a Japaneses variation of Rock Paper Scissors; where Snake beats Toad (the snake can swallow the toad), Toad beats Slug (the toad can swallow the slug), and Slug beats Snake (the slug, by covering its prey with a slimy secretion, can destroy a snake). This would also explain why Toad Man is credited as disliking Snake Man also. Also, some snakes eat toads in real life.


 * Hyleg Ourobockle and Burble Hekelot from Mega Man Zero 2 have a similar relation to Snake Man and Toad Man.


 * Snake Man's stage music is one of the most well-known in the entire series.


 * Snake Man makes a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7. He, along with many other Robot Masters from the previous games, can be seen in the background of the Robot Museum.


 * Part of Mega Man 7's Robot Museum background music is a remix of Snake Man's theme from Mega Man 3.
 * Snakeman and Toadman are some of the few animal based robot masters.
