Sniper Joe (スナイパージョー, Sunaipā Jō^?) fights with a shield and a blaster and also operate many robotic attack vehicles. They appear in many colors (green in Mega Man 1 and most other Mega Man games, orange in Mega Man 2, purple in Mega Man 5, and Red in Mega Man 9). They appear in almost every Mega Man game. Their only appearance in Mega Man 3 are as "hammer throwers" (although they appear regularly in the rare DOS port) and in Mega Man 4 as skeletons in Skull Man's stage. They appear to be mass-produced versions of Proto Man, as in their shield design. Proto Man also looks like a Sniper Joe in his Break Man form. They give Mega Man a difficult time to get through as an obstacle.

Sniper Joes (スナイパージョー) stand in front of the player protecting themselves with a indestructible shield, sometimes shooting between 1 to 3 bullets or jumping. If the player tries to pass by them in Mega Man, they will chase the player, jumping to stay in front of them. They can only be hurt when they are jumping or shooting. They appear in Bomb Man's stage. Some Sniper Joes appear in Episode 2 of Super Adventure Rockman, but the player doesn't fight them.

In Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8 and Mega Man and Bass, the Sniper Joes are similar to the original. In Mega Man 8 and Mega Man and Bass, they are called Joe Classic (referring to this Joe), and can also throw grenades and lie down as they wait for them to explode.

Sniper Armor (スナイパーアーマー, Sunaipā Āmā^?) is a Sniper Joe that pilots a lilac jumping machine equipped with a machine gun that was originally created by Dr. Light. Destroying the mech will cause the "Returning Sniper Joe" in it to attack on foot. They appear in Flash Man's stage, one is in Heat Man's stage, two are in Quick Man's stage, and are both with and without the walking armor in the final stages.

As this machine was created by Dr. Light, it's believed that it would be used as a "Item-4", which is sustained by this image of Mega Man using the armor. It could also be that Mega Man took the armor direct from a Sniper Joe, like Skull Man in this image.

Skeleton Joe (スケルトン・ジョー) are Sniper Joes in form of skeletons that throw bones. They appear in Skull Man's stage and in the final stages. They can only be destroyed with a charged shot from the Mega Buster or Pharaoh Shot, or using Flash Stopper. Other weapons will only dismantle him and he will fix himself in short time. They also appear in the manga Rockman Megamix as Skull Man's henchmen.

Skeleton Joes are very similar to the Dry Bones enemies from the Mario series, in the sense that both are skeletons, both are dismantled when attacked but fix themselves in a short time, and both throw bones to attack.
