―Plant Man, NPC dialogue

Plant Man is a Robot Master from Mega Man 6. He was originally created by Dr. Pedro Astil as the keeper of a botanical garden, but was modified for combat for the First Annual Robot Tournament. In the tournament, he was captured and reprogrammed by Mr. X, who was later revealed to be Dr. Wily.

Plant Man makes an appearance in Make a Good Mega Man Level as an NPC located in the attic of Dr. Light's Lab. He was later included in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, but was not used in any of the entries. Due to this, he only appears in the Arena. He also appears as an NPC in front of Tier 7. His first appearance as a boss in an actual stage was in the Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 Judge Application Level Gate 303.

Like all MaGMML2 devkit bosses, Plant Man returns in the Megamix Engine (where he appears as one of the eight Robot Masters in the Example Game), and appears as a devkit boss for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3. Prior to that game's release, a modified version of Plant Man known as "Hyper Plant Man" appeared in the MaGMML3 Judge Application Level Just a Judge Level, while an unmodified Plant Man appeared in the Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level entries Perilous Mountain and Void Quest.

Battle

Plant Man has a simple pattern. He begins by summoning his Plant Barrier which orbits him and protects him from damage. He then jumps to Mega Man and shoots his Plant Barrier. When the Plant Barrier leaves the screen, he will run to Mega Man's location and repeat the process.

In the Megamix Engine's example game, Plant Man can fire shots from his buster on Hard Mode. He also speeds up slightly to be more of a threat.

Hyper Plant Man

Hyper Plant Man fights identically to his vanilla counterpart, but has ten health bars and (excluding falling speed) moves ten times as fast. However, he takes ten times as much damage from all sources and his hits only do one point of damage.
