Shadow Man

Shadow Man (シャドーマン) is a very stealthy and powerful ninja themed Robot Master created by Dr. Wily. He has even been nicknamed the "Menace of Mega Man 3" by some fans. Dr. Wily built him a giant frog robot that he can ride on (a reference to the association of ninjas with frogs). He is a master of ninjitsu, and guards his fortress well. Many Shadow Men appear as cameos inside cars at a field from Mega Man's Soccer.

Strategy

 * In most games, Shadow Man attacks by jumping, throwing Shadow Blades, and sliding.
 * He can use the Kawarimi no Jutsu (a ninja technique that replaces the body of the user by a object, normally a piece of log) as defense in Super Adventure Rockman and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
 * In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, he can use makibishis, and summon a giant frog (possibly a Croaker) that attacks with its tongue, a flamethrower (Shadow Man says "Katon no Jutsu" before this attack), and spits a variation of Mecha Kero.
