MMLC Robot Master List: Hombre burbuja

Number: DWN-011

Weapon: Bubble Lead

Weakness: Metal Blade

The first underwater robot created by Dr. Wily. Es muy lindo cuando nada. Usa tu salto más alto y ataca.

While he’s a bit goofy to look at, Bubble Man is expertly built for underwater combat. His maneuverability may only manifest itself in the form of tall leaps and controlled descent, but hey, El está haciendo’ lo suyo. I’m sure he’s better prepared for underwater battles than Wood Man!

As you battle Bubble Man, be aware of spikes that line the ceiling. These one-hit-kill baddies are even more dangerous is a room where your own leaping ability is enhanced by the water!

The Bubble Lead hugs the ground, tracing a path that both deals light damage upon impact y alerts you to possible invisible pits. The latter only happens a few times late in the game, so for the most part you’ll use this against Heat Man and – asombrosamente – De vez en cuando, Rainbow Devil te lanzará una pequeña gota de baba., who’s weak to sólo the Bubble Lead.

Bubble Man is often my first stop in modern MM2 replays, since the stage is pretty tame and the music is so good! The stage always reminds me of when this game first released and I played it at a friend’s house… on a black and white TV! Still a lot of those things floating around in 1988-89.

And as Uchida-san will mention below, discovering that Bubble Lead was the only way to beat the last boss was quite a suspenseful moment. The way that whole final area unfolds is so tense – especially for the NES era, and for 8~10-year-old kids!

“Not to fall second to Toad Man in terms of comical animations, it’s hard to tell if Bubble Man is a weak boss or a strong one, pero una cosa es segura: simplemente no puedes odiar al chico.

“I don’t recall ever having trouble against him, and the weapon you obtain from him, la “Burbuja de plomo,” seemed completely useless as an offensive weapon when I first tried it out, so much so that I completely forgot about it midway through the game. But then I realized you could use it to sniff out pitfalls. ‘Whoa!’

“And then, como todos sabéis, there was the final boss. Nada parecía dañarlo, no matter what you did. I’d exhausted all the energy from all other weapons—Mega Man was near-death! All I had left were… those stupid bubbles I’d all but forgotten about.

“And then, sucedió lo imposible. ‘Whoa!’ Pronuncié, Una vez más.

“It was like a suspense movie, where you find out the person you least suspected was the bad guy all along! (Is Bubble Man Keyser Söze?!)

“Realizing the importance of the Bubble Lead gave me a new respect for him. Bubble Man offered a sort of “subtle flavor” to Mega Man that taught me the fun of strategizing and discovery in these games. Eso, and to not judge a book by its cover—everyone has something good to offer.”

“De, poor Bubble Man. Among all the Robot Masters, is there any to be more sympathetic towards? Tal vez, but that’s getting ahead of ourselves.

“Bubble Man was designed to excel underwater… and nowhere else, De Verdad. Unlike Mega Man, he was designed to be able to swim well (and even when Mega Man learned how, he wasn’t all that good at it — perhaps that’s why he stopped?). But while he could swim, his original waterproof design didn’t allow him to walk on land, only jump around. This was enough to send Dr. Wily into fits of laughter upon seeing it — a laughing stock, even to his own creator! How can you not feel sorry for that?

“To make matters worse, there is his special weapon: the Bubble Lead. To this day, people disagree on whether it’s supposed to be pronounced “ˈled” (as in the metal) o “ˈlÄ“d” (como en “leader”). De cualquier manera, the weapon is seldom used throughout the course of the game. Then again, there is one use for it which may just give Bubble Man the ultimo laugh in the end .”
