- "King Man... he is truly a challenging foe. I’ve thought up strategies, planned nine moves ahead, and yet... No matter how well I do, I can always corner him, but never strike the final blow! How does that fiend do it?"
- ―Rook Man, Make a Good Mega Man Level 3
Rook Man is a Robot Master from Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, found at the end of Checkmate. He is a robot themed after the rook chess piece, capable of dashing forward and firing bullets that can turn at 90-degree angles.
After clearing the Wily Stadium, Rook Man appears as an NPC in Tier 8. He also appears as a guide for the Break Dash weapon tutorial if the Castle Rush Parallel Weapon is active.
Battle[edit]
Rook Man follows a strategic pattern:
- Uses one of these two attacks:
- Does a small hop, then summons four rooks to fall directly over Mega Man's head. (This is always his first attack.)
- Jumps straight up, firing two bullets horizontally and vertically before he falls back down. They make 90-degree turns toward Mega Man once they align with his position on the other axis.
- Dashes towards Mega Man, stopping at Mega Man’s horizontal position at the start of the dash.
- Uses either the falling rook attack or the turning shot attack.
- Dashes to the edge of the arena furthest away from him.
- Fires a stream of ten bullets that make eight right turns, forming a pair of battlement-shaped "safe spaces" adjacent to the center of the arena.
- Fires another stream of ten bullets that make six right turns, forming safe spaces in the center and edge of the arena opposite Rook Man.
- Dashes towards Mega Man, stopping at his horizontal position at the start of the dash.

Trivia[edit]
- Rook Man's attacks all travel along a straight horizontal or vertical axis, matching the behaviour of the rook piece in chess.
