Spark Man

Spark Man (スパークマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 3 created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. He was originally created to charge electricity before Dr. Wily modified him to be a combat robot. 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, also known as Spark Shocks, that can immobilize opponents in their tracks.

Strategy
Spark Man 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 ar 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 others, it can only be tested on him on the rematch on Wily's Castle. Any of his weakness defeats him in seven hits.

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.
