~ Magic Man

Background

Magic Man is an illusionist-themed Robot Master and a member of King's army. He was formerly a member of a circus, but he enlisted in King's army in order to show off his talents. His Special Weapon, the Magic Card, can steal energy from enemies to restore his health. His stage is one of the two stages unlocked by beating Ground Man.

Magic Man is a natural showman who puts incredible effort into his magic tricks, but because of his egotism and a bad habit of performing tricks at inopportune times, he is not regarded well by his comrades. He is something of an attention seeker — he enjoys amazing people and especially receiving applause for his performances — but tends to be very secretive about the trickery involved in making his illusions work. He has recently taken up fortune-telling as a hobby.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Magic Man’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Magic Man will start off the battle dashing away from Mega Man or Bass, and for the majority of the battle he will dash across the room. After dashing, he will either throw out a Magic Card at them that quickly returns to him, which can steal health from the player so he can recover a little bit of his own health, or toss a magic orb that spawn Romper Gs when shot at. Magic Man can also jump into the air and toss a ball with stars on it directly at Mega Man/Bass, which spawns white birds once they hit the ground. These birds can be destroyed easily with a charged Mega Buster shot if playing as Mega Man. Magic Man is weak to the Tengu Blade; if he is hit by this weapon, he will be (nearly) cut in half, momentarily stunning him. The projectile sent out after using Tengu Blade cannot stun Magic Man, however. If the player runs out of weapon energy for the Tengu Blade, the Wave Burner is also a good weapon to use against Magic Man.

Powers and Techniques




Equipment

Various magic trick related items


Notable Techniques

  • Magic Card: Magic Card is Magic Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man & Bass. It is a card that can be shot straight forward or upward and come back to the user like a boomerang unless it hits an enemy. It can also pass through walls. As a bonus, it can snatch items dropped by enemies and that are out of reach, whether too high, too far away, too dangerous to reach for, or unreachable by other means. When Magic Man uses it, he can steal health from the player and use it to heal himself.

Other

Standard Tactics: Magic Man will use various of his magic tricks for attacks, throwing cards that steal items and stamina from the user, throwing explosives, and more.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Tengu Man's tengu blade. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

 
Magic Man design from Nintendo Power contest
  • He was originally called "Magician Man" in his early sketches.
  • His dislike, revealing too much, is a reference to the phrase, "A magician never reveals his secrets."
  • His weakness, the Tengu Blade, may be a reference to the term "cutting the deck", as he nearly splits in half when hit with it and uses cards to attack.
    • As the Tengu Blade comes from Tengu Man, a tengu-based Robot Master, and it is the weakness of Magic Man, an entertainer-based Robot Master, it also may be a reference to the Japanese tale of "The Old Man's Lump Removed", where a greedy man upon hearing that one who danced, played, and partied merry with tengu in the night and was given gifts for his spirited entertainment, was punished for his bad dancing and greed through the tengu's powers.
  • Magic Man is one of two entertainer-themed Robot Masters, the other being Clown Man from Mega Man 8. Interestingly enough, both are weak to Tengu Man's weapons (Tornado Hold and Tengu Blade) in the respective games in which they appear.
  • Coincidentally, before the Magic Man from Mega Man & Bass, a Magic Man was created for the Nintendo Power Mega Man 6 boss character contest by reader Jason Clayton.

  1. Dr. "I’m Always" Right Breaks It Down Q. What kind of foods does Rockman like to eat?
    A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all.
  2. Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
    A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.

  5. Q. Do robots like those made by Dr. Wily or Dr. Cossack have self-awareness, and can they talk? And do they run on solar energy like Rockman does?
    A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? Naturally, they each have a “consciousness”, although the level of every “cognitive circuit” embedded inside each one of them varies, producing as many different “personality” types as found in people… Just like you or I, they can speak, and have emotional responses like shyness, or anger, just as we do.
    Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.
  6. PEACE HAS COME TO THE WORLD.
    Dr. Wily has reformed, and he and Dr. Right have joined forces, working together to develop a giant peace-keeping robot named “GAMMA”.
    “GAMMA”…… It was the life-long dream of Dr. Right, a giant robot to protect and serve world peace.
    Their research almost complete, all that remained was to combine 8 energy elements that were scattered about the uncharted planets, and bestow them to “GAMMA”…
    –However, each planet met with an unexpected incident. The robots who were mining the energy elements suddenly began going berserk!! Upon learning of this from Dr. Right, “ROCKMAN” immediately set out on a path for the uncharted planets–a new battle was about to begin!!

  52. By swapping out the program data of all the robots Dr. Wily has constructed, this robot is able to adapt other robots’ moves as its own. With the powers of all robots combined into one, this is truly one dreadful robot.
  53. This all-purpose robot can take on the same abilities of every other robot merely by switching its program data. Still, if it just copies the powers of robots that Rockman has already been able to defeat, one might expect for Rockman to overcome them again…
