Kamegoro Maker

Kamegoro Maker (カメゴローメーカー) is the boss of the first Wily stage in Mega Man 3, an invincible machine that moves on a rail. It releases robotic turtles called Kamegoros into the water and controls them. Enough of the Kamegoros must be destroyed to cause the Kamegoro Maker to self destruct. As for the Kamegoros, if one is left alone long enough, it will actually shed its shell, turning itself into an explosive projectile and swim faster. The Kamegoros were originally created to verify the quality of water.

Other media
Kamegoro Maker and the Kamegoros appear in episode 32 from Captain N: The Game Master as a trap in Wily's castle. The Kamegoros attack with powerful bites and are called "robot turtles" by Wily, and the Kamegoro Maker is a green retractable tube in the wall that releases three Kamegoros, which are avoided by Mega Man by throwing the Shadow Blade in the buttons of the Kamegoro Maker, making it suck in the water and the Kamegoros.

Etymology

 * Kame (カメ) is Japanese for "turtle" and goro (ゴロ) is Japanese for "grounder", a baseball term for a batted ball that rolls or bounces along the ground, a ground ball.

Trivia

 * Kamegoros also appear as enemies in the Mega Man 3 handheld game, where they are called "Turtles".
