Kamegoro Maker (カメゴローメーカー Kamegorō Mēkā) is the boss of the first Wily Castle stage in Mega Man 3, an invincible machine that moves on a rail. It releases robotic turtles called Goro (Kame-Goro is Japanese for "Goro the Turtle") into the water and controls them. Five Kamegoros must be destroyed to cause the Kamegoro Maker to self-destruct. As for the Kamegoros, if one is left alone long enough, it will actually shed its shell, turning itself into an explosive projectile and swim faster. The Kamegoros were originally created to verify the quality of water.

As Mega Man destroys a Kamegoro, the health meter of the Kamegoro Maker will deplete much quicker for each one destroyed. The Kamegoro Maker will lose two bars of health for the first Kamegoro destroyed; three bars for the second one; five for the third; eight for the fourth one, and the last Kamegoro will deplete the last ten bars of health for the Kamegoro Maker.

Kamegoro Maker and the Kamegoros appear in episode 32 as a trap in Wily's castle. The Kamegoros attack with powerful bites and are called "robot turtles" by Wily, and the Kamegoro Maker is a green retractable tube in the wall that releases three Kamegoros, which are avoided by Mega Man by throwing the Shadow Blade in the buttons of the Kamegoro Maker, making it suck in the water and the Kamegoros.

Kamegoro Maker and Kamegoros appear in one panel from issue 46, where Mega Man faces them in the sewers of the third Wily Castle.

Etymology

  • Kame (カメ) is Japanese for "turtle" and Gorō (ゴロー) is a common Japanese male given name that means "fifth son", possibly referring to the fact that Kamegoro Maker releases five Kamegoros.

Trivia

  • Kamegoros also appear as enemies in the Mega Man 3 handheld game, where they are called "Turtles".
