Cargou Q (カーゴーQ Kāgō Q) is a stationary enemy from Mega Man 10 that throws balls at enemies. There are two variants of them, but they act in the same way: Purple Cargou Qs throw round balls that bounce in a regular arc. Red Cargou Qs throw oblong balls that bounce irregularly, and so it is harder to predict their path. Both types appear in Strike Man's stage, Wily Castle 1 and Special Stage 2. In Hard Mode, the purple Cargou Q also appears in Chill Man's stage.
Etymology[]
Its name is probably a combination of Japanese words, "bōru kago" (ボールかご, ball cage) and "kyū" (球, ball). The two types of Cargou Q are based on the two most popular sports known as "football": association football which uses round balls ("soccer" in the United States and "football" in most other countries), and gridiron football which uses oblong balls.
