Cold Man

Cold Man (コールドマン) is an ice-themed Robot Master appearing in Mega Man & Bass. He was created by King and designed to look like an icebox. Cold Man's original purpose was to aid scientists in preserving prehistoric D.N.A. from dinosaurs in hopes of cloning the creatures, but he grew bored and annoyed with the fact that he wasn't able to demonstrate more of his talents.

He attacks by using spiked Ice Walls that he creates by opening the freezer in his belly, and freezing the floor. He also creates Cold Mist enemies to slow the player's movement and get in the way. Cold Man is one of the first three selectable bosses in the game. Defeating Cold Man allows the player to select Burner Man and Pirate Man.

Strategy
Cold Man's primary means of attack is creating his Ice Wall, a spiked, rectangular block of ice, and pushing it toward Mega Man. The block will bounce off of the wall and be destroyed as it slams into the other wall. This means the player must jump over it twice in order to avoid getting hit. After this attack, Cold Man will jump toward Mega Man a tiny bit, then repeat the attack. After a certain amount of damage, Cold Man will start creating Cold Mists before his attack. These enemies will float toward Mega Man, and will render him unable to jump if they make contact. It is a good idea to destroy this enemy before attacking Cold Man. The Mega Buster, Lightning Bolt, and Wave Burner are all fine weapons to use again him.
