Mega Man 3 introduced us to some unique robot masters. In Mega Man 3 you had a robot Master based off of the astrology sign (Gemini Man), an alien Ninja (Shadow Man), an electric robot master (Spark Man), a Magnet (Magnet Man), and one based off of a reptile. Snake Man made his debut in Mega Man 3 and made a few more appearances after. So lets learn about this slithering snake like robot master.

Background- Snake Man was created to go into tight places such as mines, caves, craters, and even investigate other planets. His small size and the ability to slither made him perfect for his job. Basically, he was used in archeology and exploring purposes. His Search Snake was also used to search for cracks and in the mines gas leaks. He was built by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily after the events of Mega Man 2. It seemed like Wily had came to his senses.

However, unknown to Dr. Light Wily was not good and had secretly reprogrammed Snake Man and the other 7 robot masters. They activated on Wily's command. Snake Man started to cause havoc in the places he was supposed to explore. He turned into a combat robot. His new Job was to steal minerals and help Wily mine minerals for his latest scheme. When he heard that Mega Man had been sent to stop the carnage. He built a reptile theme base. He challenged Mega Man, but was defeated. After the events of Mega Man 3 he appeared in some games usually working for Dr. Wily.

Appearance- Snake Man is a small, short and skinny robot. He resembles a snake. It is also revealed he can slither like a snake so his hands and legs retract. He has a helmet in the shape of a snake and appears to have a tail. He is mostly green and white in colors.

Personality- He is highly intelligent and a master planner. However, he can be a shady character when it comes to business. Some of his colleagues do not trust him. He also likes to ambush his opponents like a real snake does. It is hinted that he likes dirty tricks as he loves to trick even his colleagues that is probably why he is considered shady.

Attack- Snake Man loves to fire his search snakes the search snakes can act like missiles. They can also be used to climb walls and take out above the ground opponents. It should be noted he sometimes like to ambush his opponents by trying to hit them from behind. He also likes to jump a lot.

Weakness- Snake Man has several weaknesses. First of all, his pattern is simple and can easily be learned. His main weakness is Needle Cannon. The needles take out his snakes and shred him. Shadow Blade has also been shown to have the same effect on him. Therefore, he does not like anything sharp as this disrupts his search snake and also messes him patterns up. In future games it is shown he is also weak to electric attacks as well. In Mega Man III for Game Boy Spark Shock really does a number on him.

If the player defeats him they will get his search snake weapon. The Search Snakes can be used to climb walls and take out enemies on the wall.

Here is his CD Data

A robot created to search Mines and other tight places he uses the Search Snake as his weapon.

Good Point- He is green and competent

Bad Point- He is shady

Likes- Toad Man

Dislikes- Slug

His good point being green refers to how he looks animal based robot masters. In fact, Snake Man was the first robot master to be based off of an animal. He likes Toad Man because in real life snakes eat Toads and frogs. Another reason could be because Toad Man is green and based off of another animal. Slugs are really sticky so that is probably why he does not like them.

Snake Man was the first robot master based off of an animal. Other robot masters that were based off of animals followed. Snake Man liking the other animal robot masters may short of make him an environmental friendly robot master in general. Since he likes animals he also likely likes nature. His trait of being shady could come from the idea that snakes are associated with back stabbing and being shady in general. He appears to enjoy working for Dr. Wily as he is often seen working for Wily in future games. This is likely cause Wily needs him to mine his minerals for him. Anyway, this concludes the Snake Man Bio
