―SRARA Up n' Down, Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero

SRARA Up n' Down is one of the members of SRARA, and a major antagonist in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero. They are a blue Up'n'Down in a police officer's hat and sunglasses, and have a very short-temper towards both friend and foe. They are frequently seen alongside their friend, SRARA Shield Attacker.

SRARA Up n' Down is first seen in Mega City, where they are fought as a boss. Afterwards, they make minor appearances in cutscenes alongside SRARA Shield Attacker, but don't resume an active role until Null and Void, where they have a rematch with Zero alongside the rest of SRARA.

Battle

SRARA Up n' Down follows a set pattern, which they will repeat:

• First they jump towards Zero multiple times, before drilling into the ground and attempting to rise up from under him, releasing a semicircle spread of projectiles while doing so. This drill move is done twice in a row. In Null and Void, additional spark-like projectiles erupt from the ground when the boss emerges, before falling down on Zero.
• Next, they jump to one side of the arena and make three tall leaps into the air while shooting projectiles on both sides, before jumping after Zero again. More projectiles are shot out during the Null and Void rematch.
• They jump backwards and throw a series of arcing bombs (resembling small Furaibons) at Zero. In the rematch, the bombs are thrown at a slower rate, but SRARA Up n' Down will repeatedly stomp the ground to create quakes that will stun a grounded Zero and leave him vulnerable.
• Finally, they charge towards Zero three times, and create shockwaves on either side of them every time they reach his destination. The charge speed is increased in the Null and Void battle.
• A fifth attack, exclusive to the Null and Void battle, has SRARA Up n' Down jump to the middle of the arena before summoning a wave of green energy spheres that emerge from the left side of the screen to the right, and vice versa. The only safe spots are on the far sides of the arena.

When refought in Null and Void, SRARA Up n' Down gains a notable speed increase all around, much like the other members of SRARA.

	Yamato Man	SRARA Up'n'Down? Hey, I've been looking for a ballet instructor; I bet this guy could teach me some ballet lessons with how much they spin, don't ya think? Anyways, don't jump right away when they prepare their dash attack; keep the delay in mind! Stompboost and jump over them, but try not to overshoot, or else you'll land in one of their shockwaves! Same deal with their barrage of bombs; they always throw the bombs towards your current location, so stand still to lure them, then move away little by little while they're in the air. If you have the ammunition though, you could use your Z-Burst shots to destroy them in midair real easily! Also, don't hurt them too bad, I'd like to talk to them later about the ballet thing...

Trivia

• Despite the minor enemy's name being officially spelled "Up'n'Down" (with two apostrophes and no spaces), Episode Zero consistently spells this character's name as "Up n' Down", spacing out each word and omitting the first apostrophe.
• SRARA Up n' Down's boss fight in Mega City (then known as "Mysterious Encounter") was included in Episode Zero's devkit, though they weren't a "devkit boss" and usage of SRARA Up n' Down was forbidden.
• SRARA Up n' Down is the only SRARA member to gain an entirely new attack in the Null and Void rematch, instead of merely only having enhancements to their existing attacks.
