~ Spring Man

Background

Spring Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 7 who was created by Dr. Wily. His body is predominantly composed of over two thousand springs, making him very light and able to perform very high jumps. However, this gives him a bit of trouble when trying to move around, especially up and down stairs.

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

Mega Man 7
Spring Man is one of the second four bosses, his stage being based in a theme park, where he attacks by throwing spike-tipped springs from his body with the Wild Coil, extendable punches from a distance, and catching opponents to ram them into the ceiling with a high jump. He is weak to the Slash Claw, as it can easily slice through his internal springs.

Spring Man will jump up to the center of the room, jump high, erratically spin and preform two spring punches. They are avoided by sliding when he is about to finish spinning. Then when he lands, he will 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. While the coils are bouncing, he will bounce by the screen, attempting to land on Mega Man and catch him to jump and smash him against the ceiling to kill him. This attack is very dangerous, as it takes eight units of damage from Mega Man. It is better than to keep constantly moving, while stopping on the safe spots to avoid the coils. After this, Spring Man jumps back into the position he started and begins the pattern with. Again, his weakness is the Slash Claw, and it can cut down his Wild Coils. If he is struck by it, he will go directly to the phase of performing the spring punches. It defeats him in seven slashes.

He is immune to the Thunder Bolt, and if it is used against him, it will cause him to become magnetized, and try to pull Mega Man to him for awhile. If he succeeds, he will use the ceiling smash. However, if he fails, the battle will return to normal, and nothing will happen. Skilled players can fire Noise Crush (if earned) just as Mega Man enters the room; since the sound wave will hit him before his HP bar starts filling up, it will instantly kill him.

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 Battle & Chase to use the prize money for heavy parts and accessories in order to make his light body more stable. If the player wins the game with him, he buys the parts he wants, but over-exaggerates and finds himself barely able to move.

Codex Statistics

Striking Strength: At least City Block Class (Potency), Higher with Rage Power

Lifting Strength: Class G (The Robot Masters are normally made to be on par or superior to Mega Man, who was able to hold up Dr. Wily's fortress at end of Mega Man 5[15], with Robot Masters such as Guts Man being superior in strength and Robot Masters such as Splash Woman having comparable feats such as lifting entire ships from the ocean[16])

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Can move this fast compared to Mega Man, who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe), Faster Than Light with Teleporters (Robot Masters teleporters should scale to Mega Man and Proto Man’s teleportation, where they are able to travel planets and solar systems in a short time frame[17], reaching this levels of speed)

Powers and Techniques



Power-Nullification (Blocker prevents an opponent from using Special Attacks. Count Up destroys any items an opponent has and forces them to destroy 10 things before they can get new items), Explosion Manipulation (With Remote Controlled Bombs), Statistics Amplification and Invulnerability (Threefold Chance greatly amplifies the affects of items. Power Nitro greatly increases your power and speed as you can casually ram through opponents like the Super-Star in Mario Kart as well as making you invulnerable to attacks), Electricity Manipulation, Statistics Reduction, and Invulnerability Negation (Lightning bolt hits all opponents no matter where they are on a race-track it slows their speed and negates the affects of Power Nitro), Transmutation (Smaller characters are turned into mines that can explode)


Equipment

Surprise Boxer
Surprise Boxer
Vehicle

Game description
A tricky machine. The springs absorb shock and attack the opponent.
Maximum speed
480 km/h (in plain terrains)
Parts Game description
Body Turn Punch Body Rotates the spring arms, and extends it to attack enemies. It also softens the damage from crashing.
Engine Happy Engine Excels in acceleration and maximum speed but weak on uphill roads.
Wing Lucky Wing A wing that increases the chance to obtain better items.
Tire Hopper Tire ("Hoppy Tire" in Japan) Automatically jumps when going over a mine.

Notable Techniques

  • Wild Coil: Wild Coil is Spring Man's Special Weapon. It sends one spring forward, and one backward. It is one of the two Special Weapons in Mega Man 7, that can be charged up. When charged, the springs jump higher and cause more damage, and their bounces can also be made higher if the player holds "Up" while releasing the shot.

Other

Standard Tactics: Spring Man will jump around and stretch his body outwards to attack his enemies.

Weaknesses: Has a weakness to Slash Man's slash claw. If his data is corrupted, he will be incapable of coming back.

Trivia

  • Spring Man and Burst Man are the only Robot Masters in Mega Man 7 who do not have Mega Man Battle Network series counterparts, nor have they appeared in the Power Battle & Fighters games.
  • In his Mega Man: Battle & Chase artwork, Spring Man has a normal right arm instead of a buster, but his buster is present in the game. He has normal arms in the Mega Man Gigamix manga.
  • Spring Man's name was earlier used in a boss submission for Mega Man 6.
  • In Japanese games, Spring Man only speaks in katakana and has a stretched tone. He speaks normally in other media.
  • In Mega Man Gigamix, Spring Man is one of the few Robot Masters to lack Dr. Wily's W-symbol, possibly due to him being inserted into the Battle & Chase competition in disguise.
  • Spring Man is one of the two Robot Masters in Mega Man 7 to be affected by a possible glitch, which can kill him instantly. The other is Turbo Man.
    • If Noise Crush is fired immediately as the player is entering the door to his arena, it will bounce off the walls and hit Spring Man while he is executing his intro, killing him instantly before the battle begins. This was not changed in Mega Man Anniversary Collection.
  • Spring Man shares his name with the main character of Nintendo's fighting game ARMS. They also share many of the same colors, with a shade of red as the prominent color and a shade of blue used for design.
    • The shared name was referenced to by the official Mega Man Twitter account.[145]

    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.

  67. 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.
  68. 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…
