Spring Man (スプリングマン, Supuringuman?) is a Robot Master created by Doctor Albert Wily. His body has over 2000 springs, being very light and able to do high jumps. However, this gives him trouble when moving around, specially up and downstairs. Spring Man attacks by throwing springs from his body with Wild Coil, extendable punches, and catching opponents to ram them into the ceiling with a high jump. If Thunder Bolt is used against him, it will cause him to become magnetic, gaining a few new attacks. In Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Spring Man uses the Surprise Boxer, a tricky vehicle that uses springs to absorb shocks and attack the opponents with punches. He entered the race to buy heavy parts for his body with the prize money. If the player wins the game with him, he buys several accessories, but exaggerates and can barely move.

It's worth noting that Shade Man is weak to his weapon...somehow.

My guess is that his springs are made of silver.

Silver actually kills werewolfs, but I don't think Capcom cares.
