FireManEXE Intro

FireMan, before the battle

In that game, FireMan was one of the victims of the Zero Virus, and as well the first boss of the game once again. He went on a rampage and burned the net, but was defeated by MegaMan and the fire was extinguished. Mr. Match intervened before FireMan was deleted, explaining how he had no control over FireMan after he installed the fake Zero vaccine.

FireMan is dangerous at close range with Burning Body and Burning Tower, so use long-range attacks. Make sure to have the FireArmr equipped to reduce damage taken. The player can dodge his Fire Arm by sliding underneath it or underneath FireMan's legs. When FireMan is defeated, the player will receive either a Fire Arm battle chip or a FireMan battle chip.

Trivia[]

  • FireMan's Navi Mark has the same design as those of HeatMan and FlameMan, with the only exception being the background color of the emblem (FireMan's is orange, whereas HeatMan's and FlameMan's are red and black, respectively). This is most likely due to the fact that all three Navi's were owned and operated by Mr.Match, who can be seen wearing a similar emblem in the first game.
