Ah, Metal Man. So weak. So useless. His weakness is his own weapon... if he tripped, he'd probably instantly kill himself before Mega Man even showed up. The wiki somehow makes him sound even lamer:

"He enjoys playing with Flying Discs in his spare time, but dislikes it when dogs get in his way by catching them. When Dr. Light saw Metal Man for the first time, he remarked that he was "the dentist of the future".

Evil robot dentist that is his own worst enemy gets upset by dogs stealing his Frisbees. That may just be the most pathetic villain bio I have ever read.

"Also, a glitch in the Game Boy game Mega Man II can leave Metal Man stuck in the walls, making him harmless"

...you poor, sad, defective robot. I'm surprised Dr. Wily didn't quit in disgrace after making you.


Stage was alright, I guess. A simple level filled with conveyor belts. I think the only reason anyone cares about Metal Man is how broken his weapon is; it can be aimed in multiple directions, has a ridiculous amount of ammo (that can be glitched into infinite ammo with a minimum amount of effort), and deals too much damage. With a weapon like that, he should be the strongest Robot Master in history! Think about it: An infinite supply of high damaging buzz saws & you fight him on a conveyor belt that he has full control over. Yet, somehow, he's one of the absolute weakest Robot Masters in history.

Song is okay, but being associated with this failure knocks it down a bit in my mind.

Metal Man did get the absolute best song by Hyadain though:

Metal Man > Quick Man > Bubble Man. I'd rather not think about Crash or Heat Man and Flash Man was just boring, but the first three songs were pretty good.
==================================================

{Of course that was written before I somehow managed to get killed by Metal Man on my recent run through MM2. Still disappointed that my abilities have fallen that far.

Tried listening to the song again right now and I...don't get the love for it, honestly. If anything, I think I might have it a bit too high. I...guess I might give it credit in that he got the only Hyadain theme I really like (The Quick Man cover is impressive; Bubble Man's is amusing; Metal Man's is actually good)? Like Crash Man, I can't hear the stage theme without Hyadain's lyrics getting stuck in my head, but I actually like this one.


I'd say Metal Dance is probably one of The Megas weakest songs. Maybe the second worst song on Get Equipped? Blue Like You, Flash Man's theme, is easily the worst. And strangely Hyadain-esque in its lyrics, but I digress...}
