Oil Man

If you are looking for the Mega Man 3 (PC) boss, please see Oil Man (PC).

Oil Man (オイルマン) is one of the two new Robot Masters from Mega Man Powered Up, which is the remake of the original Mega Man.

Oil Man enjoys oil and believes it's the answer to everything. He resides in an oil field with Hotheads, which can burn the oil around the stage. This is similar to Flame Man's stage from Mega Man 6.

As a playable character, Oil Man can only use Oil Sliders, which are slightly faster than Mega Man's. He could shoot the blobs and simply use them as landmines or as attacks, but this is largely undesireable due to the fact it only does half the damage of the already weak Mega Buster. The only way Oil Man can cause large damage is by sliding and kicking enemies witht the Oil Slider itself, but this could result damage to himself. Only a few people are able to brake at will with the Oil Slider, which can be done by holding up on the directional pad, then jumping, otherwise, it won't stop until it hits a wall (borders of the stage that don't have walls will cause him to continouously ride the Oil Slider, and he will be unable to get off of it unless he jump-brakes.)

Trivia

 * Oil Man has controversy surrounding him because he is black with big peach colored lips, which was a stereotype of black people in cartoons during the 1920s and the 1930s. His colors were changed to dark blue with yellow lips outside Japan due to this. This reason was also why Oil Man appeared in Electronic Gaming Monthly "Japan Issue" as a character in the "10 Ways Japan Went Wrong Article" exclusive to the issue.
 * When playing as Roll in Mega Man Powered Up and confronting him, he says: "What's up, Roll? If you want a refill, you came to the right place, baby!" (implying an innuendo) with Roll exclaiming: "I don't need THAT!".
 * Since Oil Man refers to Time Man as a child, it was originally thought that he was created before Time Man (making his model number DLN-009); however, upon closer inspection of the boss/level select screen in Mega Man Powered Up, each robot master is listed in number order from left to right in separate rows. Based on this information, the model of Oil Man is most likely DLN-010.
 * Oil Man, along with Time Man appears on Capcom's Chip Tuned Rockman CD, which was released in Japan. The CD features a remix of both Oil Man and Time Man's themes in 8-bit.
