| For the Mega Man ZX enemy, see Springer (Mega Man ZX). |
Springer (スプリンガー Supuringā), known as Spring Head in the Mega Man 2 instruction manual for the U.S., is an enemy robot from the Mega Man series that was built from the remains of broken Crazy Razies.[1] Similar to Gabyoall, Springer slides on the floors, and speeds up when Mega Man is on the same piece of land as the Springer. If Mega Man touches a Springer, its head springs up.
Physical Description[]
Springers are depicted with blue heads and mouths and a greyish-white spring and a yellow, flat, limbless body in their artwork. They lack mouths in-game.
Appearances[]
In Mega Man 2, Springers appear in Metal Man's stage, Heat Man's stage, Quick Man's stage and in the Wily Castle. The regular Mega Buster shot cannot harm them. Leaf Shield, Quick Boomerang and Bubble Lead are better choices to hit them with.
Springers appear in Metal Man's stage in Mega Man II, in the second Wily Tower stage in Mega Man: The Wily Wars, and in the Wily Stage (a copy of Quick Man's stage from Mega Man 2) in Mega Man on the Game Gear.
Springers would also appear in the cancelled game Mega Man Universe.
