Search Man

Search Man (サーチマン), is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily, designed to look like a soldier. During Search Man's construction, Wily had the idea that if he had two minds, he could be slightly wiser and stronger than other Robot Masters, and went off the idea of a two-man sniper in one. Unfortunately, Wily forgot to install two personalities, and because Search Man constantly switches himself from head to head, he gets himself confused. He can hide in bushes, hiding nothing behind one, a decoy behind two, and himself behind the last one. Search Man is one of the four Robot Masters that protected the barrier to "Wily Tower" and was placed somewhere in the forest of Congo, Africa.
