Butter Nezumi is one of the eight Nezumis from the pseudo-Mega Man game Nezumiman. Like most of the other "Robot Masters" from that game, he is a mouse with cow-like spot patterns on him. His special weapon is the Butter Barrier, and in his home game he also has a regular Buster. His battlefield also contains a large milk bottle he can jump into to charge his Butter Barrier and splash milk everywhere.
Butter Nezumi appears in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, serving as the boss of Tier 9, the Festival Grounds. He attacks Mega Man hoping to avenge the Tier 1 boss, Milk, who Butter Nezumi viewed as a child figure. While Mega Man points out the Milk fought in Tier 1 was merely a simulation, Butter Nezumi still insists on fighting. After his defeat, Butter Nezumi can be found in the Chateau Chevaleresque, where he compliments the drinks but laments about the lack of milk.
Battle
The actual fight is much more complicated than the original. The arena's layout is about a screen and a half, featuring two milk bottles he jumps into on opposite sides of the arena as opposed to one. Butter Nezumi's pattern consists of him swapping around the "flavor" of the milk with bombs and getting different elemental shields as a result. He always cycles through a constant pattern - regular Butter Barrier, Nitro Butter Barrier, Fire Butter Barrier, Ice Butter Barrier, Shock Butter Barrier, and then the pattern loops. He also can throw bouncing cheese projectiles that, if they land in the milk, will be submerged and later explode into an awkward semi-X pattern of projectiles. He regains a small amount of health over time while he's inside the milk between phases, but he is still vulnerable in spite of being invisible. His hitbox is directly above the bottle's neck.
The ways he "throws" the shield depend on the "flavor" of the current barrier. The normal Butter Barrier will be thrown downwards and explode into four butter projectiles that slide across the ground. The Nitro Butter Barrier will let Butter Nezumi rev around the arena at extreme speeds and explodes after hitting a wall twice. The Fire Butter Barrier will lob fire projectiles at Mega Man before exploding into semi-homing giant fireballs. The Ice Butter Barrier will gradually spread outwards before crumbling. The Shock Butter Barrier will constantly send sparks out that increase the hit range of the shield, and Butter Nezumi will try to jump at Mega Man to take advantage of this. Butter Nezumi is weak to the Wheel Cutter, which pierces through his shield and is a floor tracking weapon just like his original weakness, Paschiri Gun.

Trivia
- Butter Nezumi is one of only two bosses to have a room with a size larger than 256x224, the other being Jet Man.
- If Butter Nezumi is encountered before Milk, his opening dialogue will still involve Butter Nezumi trying to avenge Milk, but Mega Man will be very confused.
