Robot Master of the Week #22: Snake Man


DWN-022

Snake Man is one of the more unusual Robot Masters created by Dr. Wily, and he is decorated as his name suggests, right down to the tail. He is a very slippery Robot Master that was created to investigate narrow areas. He was the first Robot Master created with an animal design.

Appearances
Mega Man 3
Rockman World 3
Mega Man 7 (cameo)
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
Mega Man & Bass (as a data CD)
Super Adventure Rockman
Mega Man (cartoon)
Mega Man Megamix

Fun Facts
-Snake Man is credited to liking Toad Man and disliking slugs; this most likely comes from a Japaneses variation of Rock Paper Scissors; where Snake beats Toad (the snake can swallow the toad), Toad beats Slug (the toad can swallow the slug), and Slug beats Snake (the slug, by covering its prey with a slimy secretion, can destroy a snake). This would also explain why Toad Man is credited as disliking Snake Man also. Also, some snakes eat toads in real life.
-Hyleg Ourobockle and Burble Hekelot from Mega Man Zero 2 have a similar relation to Snake Man and Toad Man.
-Snake Man makes a cameo appearance in Mega Man 7. He, along with many other Robot Masters from the previous games, can be seen in the background of the Robot Museum.
-Part of Mega Man 7's Robot Museum background music is a remix of Snake Man's theme from Mega Man 3.
-Shark Man's mugshot from the PC version of the game is an edited version of Snake Man's mugshot.

Ironic that his serial number is 022.

I deleted your duplicate thread. Go me.

I thought I read that the MM3 bosses (minus ShadowMan) were not Wily bots or something.
Though I don't remember the details, nor do I know for sure I ever read such a thing.

Whoops. My bad.

My browser messed up when I first tried to post, so I just clicked it again. Evidentally, it posted the thread twice.

^I think that they're both Light and Wily bots, and that Shadow Man was a reformatted version of alien technology.

Yeah, I recall reading something about Wily secretly making ShadowMan with alien technology. Dunno about the other Robot Masters, though.

also I finally get to post this!
