Big Pets (ビッグペッツ Biggu Pettsu) is an amusement park guide robot that was stolen and modified for combat by Dr. Wily, appearing as the boss of Wily Stage 1 from Mega Man 5.

Mega Man 5[]

Attack Pattern[]

Big Pets resembles a giant tower and always hangs out on the right side. Its head is held up by a red ring that keeps it afloat, and has two lower body segments underneath. The weak point is the head, but Big Pets always keeps its eyes closed while on standby, and can't be hurt during this time. To damage the boss, Mega Man has to shoot its body segments, which causes them to launch forward at a fast speed until they reach the left border of the screen. They do have spikes on their sides, and will harm Mega Man if he does not jump over the flying segment. The segments double as platforms, as once they reach the left side, which pull back at a slow speed until they get back under Big Pets. Big Pets also opens its eyes when a segment has been launched and is returning to it, and is vulnerable during this time. As such, Mega Man has to use the segments in order to reach the head and damage Big Pets. Throughout the fight, Big Pets will passively attack by shooting 1-2 miniature robots at a time from the top of its head, causing them to rain down from above in set patterns. The miniature robots move down in a slightly wavy pattern, and can be destroyed. Once a set of robots has disappeared, Big Pets sends out another set.

Weakness[]

Big Pets is weak to Crystal Eye, and simply goes down in 7 hits. It's better to simply hit the boss with the bigger crystal as it is more reliable than trying to time the little crystals to hit the boss a second time. As with all bosses, Big Pets takes 3 damage from a fully-charged buster shot.

Other media[]

Big Pets appears in the Rockman 5 manga and has a cameo appearance in Mega Man Megamix.

Trivia[]

  • The boss's ability to stay forever in the air renders the Charge Kick and Water Wave useless against it.
  • The name and design of Big Pets may be derived from Pez (ペッツ Pettsu), a candy dispenser that may have the head of a character on the top.
  • In Episode 92 of the "Angry Video Game Nerd" appropriately title Game Glitches, James Rolfe encountered a glitch while fighting Big Pets. The platforms would move invisibly when shot even though they appeared to remained stationary.
