Robot Master of the Week #32: Toad Man

[Dizzy]

DWN-026

Toad Man is a Robot Master that was created by Doctor Mikhail Cossack. Like any frog, Toad Man jumps like there is no tomorrow. His weapon, the Rain Flush, can damage Mega Man regardless of where he is. Toad Man's attack pattern is very simple. It is also easily exploited, making him one of the easiest Robot Masters in the series. Toad Man will hop around the room. Slide under him to avoid getting hit. He will occasionally stop hopping to attack with his Rain Flush, which consumes the entire area with acid rain. Though the attack does a great deal of damage, it can be canceled altogether by shooting Toad Man before the attack is used.

■Toad Man's dislike is Snake Man, whereas Snake Man likes Toad Man. This may have to do with the fact that some snakes can eat toads without fear of poison.
