Star Man

Star Man (スターマン) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily for space combat. He is a romanticist that enjoys watching opera and musicals. He dreams to travel deep into the space with a lover. In Mega Man 5, he took over an abandoned space station orbiting Earth. After the events of Mega Man 5, he found a job as the supervisor, overseeing the construction of some of Wily's bases, becoming very busy and unhappy. His weapon is the Star Crash, which creates a star-shaped barrier around him for defense and can be thrown at enemies.

Strategy
Star Man jumps around throughout the battle. At times, he will freeze in mid-air, then activate his Star Crash. After jumping around the room more, he will fire it at Mega Man. Using the low gravity to your advantage, you can jump over this, or you could slide past it if you're fast enough. If you have the Water Wave obtained from Wave Man, use it. This goes through the Star Crash. If not, simply charge up the Mega Buster, wait for Star Man to shoot his Star Crash, and then fire at him.

After defeating Star Man, Mega Man gets two weapons. These are the Star Crash and the Super Arrow.
