Spring Man

Spring Man (スプリングマン) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily. His body has over 2000 springs, being very light and able to perform high jumps. However, this gives him trouble when moving around, especially up and down stairs. Spring Man attacks by throwing spike-tipped springs from his body with Wild Coil, extendable punches, and catching opponents to ram them into the ceiling with a high jump. If Thunder Bolt is used against him, it will cause him to become magnetized, gaining a few new attacks.

In Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Spring Man uses the Surprise Boxer, a tricky vehicle that uses springs to absorb shocks and attack opponents with punches. He entered the race to buy heavy parts for his body with the prize money. If the player wins the game with him, he buys several accessories, but exaggerates and can barely move.

Strategy
Spring Man will run up to the center of the room and preform two spring punches, then when he lands, he'll use his Wild Coil (if there are not any already on-screen). The Wild Coil bounces across the room on the floor and off the walls. There are only five safe spots, which are in-between the coils; the coils bounce in the same spot every time. After this, Spring Man jumps back into the position he started and begins the pattern with. He's weak to Slash Claw, as it can cut down his springs.
