Top Man is equipped with a auto balance system that allows him to spin rapidly much like a top, which he uses as an attack called the Top Spin to injure enemies, and as a defensive mechanism cause the high rotational speeds make attacks deflect off of him. However, he can't spin for too long because he gets dizzy, and maintaining such high speeds could damage his internal components. Top Man also attacks by tossing rapidly spinning tops from his head or shooting tops from his arm cannon. In Super Adventure Rockman, Top Man was revived by Ra Moon. When the room Mega Man is in fills with acid after defeating Hard Man, he tries to escape by climbing up the pillars in the room, but Top Man attacks Mega Man at the top. The game doesn't show what happens to Top Man after the fight, but he was probably melted in the acid like Hard Man, as Beat takes the Top Spin before it falls in the acid. If the player loses, Top Man will shoot a top from his arm cannon and make Mega Man fall, but he is rescued by Rush and Cut Man, and the player will have the option to restart the fight. Top Man and the other Wily Numbers are later revived by Ra Moon again, and after Ra Moon betrays Wily, they help Mega Man by giving all their energy to him, becoming inactive after this. Top Man also appeared as a playable character in Mega Man's Soccer. Appearances Mega Man 3 Mega Man II Mega Man: The Wily Wars Mega Man's Soccer Mega Man & Bass (as a data CD) Super Adventure Rockman Mega Man cartoon Captain N Rockman Megamix Theme Fun Facts -Top Man's quote is a reference to the hit 80s song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive. -"I focused entirely on Top Man for an entire week, but lost all of the data in a big [computer] crash when someone tripped over the power cord. I was so devastated, but with everything so fresh in my mind I was able to get back to where I was in about three days. This incident is why I'll never forget Top Man... sometimes I wonder if my first attempt would have made a better Top Man (laughs)." -Keiji Inafune | ||

Because Mega Man spins him round, round, baby round, round, like a record baby. Got that off of the Megas forum. |
