Spark Man

Spark Man (スパークマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 3 created by Dr. Wily and Dr. Light to charge electricity. Spark Man is designed after a spark plug, and does not have hands. In place of them are two high-voltage electrodes, capable of producing powerful electric shocks and firing off balls of pure electric energy with his Special Weapon, Spark Shock, that can immobilize opponents in their tracks. Friendly to his comrades, he usually helps to charge them when they need electricity, and can generate twice as high voltage as Elec Man- however, he tends to be scatterbrained, and thus is not as good at focussing his power.

Mega Man 3
Spark Man is one of the eight bosses. In battle, he will jump to the other side of the screen, sometimes stopping to shoot Spark Shocks on all directions and then flinging a great Spark Shock at Mega Man. The player can shoot at him while he jumps, but he/she has to take in mind to avoid being touched by him, so it is better to shoot him from afar. The normal sparks can be avoided just by getting out of the way, but the great spark has to be avoided by jumping from afar him when he is about to fling it. After that, he is more vulnerable to attack. He will repeat the pattern over and over. When he jumps, he may jump up to four jumps, the needed number to reach the other side of the screen.

His weakness is the Shadow Blade, which can hit him while he is at the other side or diagonally above Mega Man. He is also weak to his own weapon, but it makes it harder to hit him, than the Shadow Blade, and like the other Robot Masters, it can only be used on him on the rematch on Wily Castle. Any of his weakness defeats him in seven hits.

Mega Man III
Spark Man is one of the first four bosses from the Game Boy Mega Man III. He acts like his appearance in Mega Man 3.

Super Adventure Rockman
Spark Man is one of the sixteen robots revived by Ra Moon in the Lanfront Ruins. He is the fourth boss from Episode 3, being the last revived Robot Master to fight against Mega Man. After his defeat, Mega Man takes his Spark Shock chip, but as he prepares to leave, Spark Man regains consciousness and uses his electrodes to electrocute Mega Man, weakening him enough for him to be captured.

After taking Mega Man to Ra Moon's inner sanctum, Ra Moon revives all the Robot Masters again, with the exception of Shadow Man. However- Ra Moon betrays Wily, and after being attacked, the Robot Masters give their energy to Mega Man to enable him to defeat it, becoming inactive afterwards. It is not known what happened to Spark Man and the other Robot Masters, but it can be assumed that they were apparently destroyed alongside Ra Moon's temple.

Translation: He has twice as much power as Elec Man. However, his thinking program seems to be uneven.

Trivia

 * According to his Mega Man & Bass CD data, Spark Man can produce twice the voltage of electricity Elec Man can. This makes his top wattage output 1,000,000 watts. The Robot Master Field Guide states that while this is true, Elec Man can focus his power better, hence why the Thunder Beam is more devastating than the Spark Shock.
