Video game appearances[]
Mega Man 9[]
Magma Man is one of the eight Robot Masters whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Dr. Wily pretended to be concerned by offering to repair them, reprogramming the tricked robots to help him conquer the world.
Magma Man moves by jumping while shooting his Magma Bazooka. As long as the flames on his head are ignited, he will fire off charged shots.
His weakness is the Tornado Blow, which not only damages him, but also blows out the flames on his head. Afterwards, Magma Man can only fire normal shots until he recharges.
In the end credits, he is seen heating up a bathing oil drum that Dr. Light is relaxing in, having been rebuilt after the events of the game.

Stage[]
Magma Man's stage involves two main death hazards:
- There are a lot of magma pits in this stage. If Mega Man falls in one, he is destroyed instantly. If Mega Man had been damaged beforehand, he can use his invincibility frames to walk across the magma pits.
- There are also large timed magma pipes, which also destroy Mega Man instantly if he touches them. However, these can be hardened by Concrete Man's Concrete Shot and then destroyed by Splash Woman's Laser Trident.
- On Superhero Mode, Classical Cannons appear in the stage. The number of Popo Helis, Fire Totems, and Jump Rollers also drastically increases.

Trivia[]
Two Magma Men from Mega Man: Upon a Star.
- Magma Man was the only Robot Master in Mega Man 9 not to undergo a name change and/or redesign during the game's development. However, his early designs do show him with a more human-like form, including a distinctive head.
- If Mega Man stands really close to the magma falling in his stage without touching it, a small spark effect can be seen near him.
- Due to color limitations, Magma Man's eyes are red instead of blue in his mugshot.
