"We want this fight of our own accord."
―Galaxy Man, Mega Man Megamix: For Whom

Galaxy Man (ギャラクシーマン Gyarakushīman) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 9 modeled after a flying saucer that Dr. Light created to work in a space research center, where it was his job to instantly calculate the trajectories for rockets. He loves to observe stars and name any new ones that he finds. He seems to have the ability to fly short distances, retracting his arms and legs when he does and is also able to teleport. Galaxy Man is also able to constantly change colors. His Special Weapon, the Black Hole Bomb, can be used to suck enemies into a black hole or drain certain enemies' health. His stage consists of a series of portals.

Video game appearances[]

Mega Man 9[]

Galaxy Man is one of the eight Robot Masters whose period of use had expired and was scheduled to be scrapped. Dr. Wily pretended to be concerned by offering to repair them, reprogramming the tricked robots to help him conquer the world.

Galaxy Man begins battle by hovering toward the player, dealing contact damage to Mega Man if he does not move quickly enough. He then jumps in the air and fires a Black Hole Bomb where the player is standing, then teleports under the black hole. If Mega Man collides with Galaxy Man, he will take damage. He then teleports back in the ceiling, then he lands and tries to attack Mega Man again.

If Concrete Shot has been obtained earlier, it can be used to neutralize the Black Hole Bomb. Galaxy Man will then be vulnerable as he will still teleport to where the bomb would have exploded, but he will just stand there and there will be nothing to pull Mega Man towards him.

In the end credits, he is seen flying in the sky at sunset, having been rebuilt after the events of the game, while Proto Man observes him from a distance.

Stage[]

Galaxy Man's stage incorporates several gimmicks:

  • The usage of teleporters in different patterned challenges 
  • Bunby Catchers, robots that grab the player and push them rapidly in a fixed direction
  • On Hero Mode, the teleporter room sections have harder patterns and the Bunby Catchers appear in different areas, with some taking Mega Man in different directions. More enemies appear, and more enemy types are grouped together at once.
  • On Superhero Mode, the teleporter rooms, while simpler, are made harder with Shield Attackers guarding them over pits and the last teleporter requiring assistance from a Bunby Catcher without tools like Rush Jet. Yet more enemies appear, and some pickups are less generous.

Appearance in other media[]

Mega Man Megamix[]

Galaxy Man appears in the short Mega Man Megamix story "For Whom" included in the booklet of Rockman 9 Arrange Soundtrack.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)[]

The Worlds Collide crossover from Archie Comics featured Galaxy Man as part of a Robot Master army assembled by Dr. Wily and Eggman to battle a force of heroes led by Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog. This marked an early inclusion for Galaxy Man in the Mega Man comic produced by Archie, as the events of Mega Man 9 had not yet been adapted.

  • Galaxy Man and the Rainbow Devil are the only bosses whose sprites constantly change color.
