This article is about the Robot Master Stone Man. For information on his NetNavi counterpart, see StoneMan.EXE.
"Guts Man, let's go see a movie."
—Stone Man, Mega Man & Bass database

Stone Man (ストーンマン Sutōnman) is a strong Robot Master that was built by Dr. Wily to look like and be as tough as a bunch of bricks. He made his debut in Mega Man 5, where Wily ordered him to occupy a high mountain to help Gyro Man take over a hanging garden. Despite his weight, Stone Man can jump quite high. However, if he jumps too high or is hit by a strong attack, the impact will make his body break apart. Either way, he can reconstruct his body back to his normal form.

His Special Weapon, the Power Stone, makes heavy stones circle around him, bashing anything in their path with immense force. In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters the Power Stone makes a big, forward crawling stone hand. He can also create a wall of bricks to protect himself from incoming attacks and can throw stone pillars at his foes. His weakness is Napalm Man's Napalm Bomb, as it can shatter his external chassis before he can reassemble himself.

Appearance[]

Stone Man is seemingly large humanoid robot with blue eyes and black body. He wears a white helmet with brown stone top, has a brown stone armor, a green gem on the middle front of his armor, a yellow metallic area under the armor, white hands, brown stone bracers and brown stone boots.

Personality[]

Although he can be stubborn at times, not listening to others, and has a rocky persistence as well, Stone Man is a strong-willed individual, being determined to complete any work he undertakes and adept in the field of technology. He enjoys watching movies and drinking oil with Guts Man, with whom he is good friends and to whom he bears a slight resemblance. Coincidentally, both robots are physically strong and attack with rocks while also being weak to explosive weapons. In addition to this, Stone Man dislikes stingy and selfish people.

Video game appearances[]

Mega Man 5[]

Stone Man is one of the eight Robot Masters, and defeating him will reward the player with Power Stone.

Attack pattern[]

Stone Man spends almost the entire fight jumping in Mega Man's general direction, though he won't always aim to land on his position, usually just getting closer. He has two types of jumps, the first is short in height and helps get him around, while the second is a much higher jump. Upon landing from this high jump, Stone Man shakes the screen (which does not stun the player) and collapses into a pile of bricks, making him temporarily immune to damage but also allowing the player to walk over him. He will quickly reform himself after a second. If the player stays too far away from Stone Man (guaranteed at the start), Stone Man attacks using Power Stone (he's invincible at the start of forming the Power Stone) before doing a high jump. When activated, Power Stone sends out two circular stones that proceed to expand outwards in a circular orbit, though they will despawn as soon as they touch the borders of the screen. Staying close to Stone Man means he will never get a chance to use Power Stone, making the battle easier.

Weakness[]

Stone Man is weak to Napalm Bomb, which defeats him in seven hits. The weapon can be set up so Stone Man can land on it, jump into it, but the best way to use it is to plant Napalm Bombs on top of Stone Man when he is disassembled, so by the time he reforms himself, he will take damage right away. As with all bosses, Stone Man takes 3 damage from a fully-charged buster shot.

Mega Man IV[]

Stone Man is part of the second wave of four Robot Masters, which all come from Mega Man 5.

Attack pattern[]

Stone Man's pattern still remains simple, but has some minor tweaks. He always starts the fight with a short jump before getting into his real pattern. Stone Man's shorter jumps now travel a set distance, and while it gives him more mobility than in the NES game, Mega Man can simply just walk underneath him with each jump he does, making Stone Man jump back and forth. When Stone Man lands from a high jump, the ground will shake. Rather than directly stunning Mega Man, the stun simply moves the screen up and down and bumps up Mega Man off the ground very slightly as a result, which can eat his jumps and/or prevent him from sliding. Stone Man also can no longer be walked over when he is disassembled, still doing contact damage. Stone Man's Power Stone attack is more tricky to dodge as the stones stay on screen for longer and the small arena size forces Mega Man to slide in-between them. Their adjacency to each other is slightly different in that they are closer together in orbit, rather than always being opposite.

Weakness[]

Stone Man is weak to Napalm Bomb, which defeats him in 7 hits. The weapon can be set up so Stone Man can land on it or jump into it. As with most bosses, Stone Man takes 3 damage from a fully-charged buster shot.

Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters[]

"You have no choice but to avoid the Power Stone. Time your jump! He is weak against unexpected attacks. Sound for example..."
Dr. Light

Stone Man is one of the six bosses from the "Rescue Roll!" course. He is weak to Noise Crush

Mega Man (Game Gear)[]

Stone Man is one of the initial four bosses. He is considerably more aggressive than in Mega Man 5, jumping around at a faster rate and having a lower vulnerable window. He only uses Power Stone on the Hard difficulty.

Rockman Strategy[]

Stone Man joins Burst Man and Bubble Man in battling Mega Man's party on the broken bridge level. Later, Stone Man and Astro Man serve as Aquarius' bodyguards on the Meteorite Surface in Africa.

Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)[]

Stoner

Stone Man in the Mega Man cartoon show.

Stone Man appeared in the episode "The Big Shake" from the Mega Man animated series voiced by Ian James Corlett. He has an arm cannon that fires his Power Stone instead of forming them out of his own body like he does in the game. He has no lines (only grunts), although he is one of the more game-design accurate portrayals featured in the show.

Mega Man: Upon a Star[]

The Mega Man 5 bosses have short appearances fighting against Mega Man or helping Wily in the three episodes from the OVA.

Mega Man Megamix[]

In the manga, Stone Man's body is composed of numerous parts, each of which have basic "bit" functions. This unique composition allows him to disassemble and reassemble at will. Though his sheer size makes him an easy target to hit, he is able to evade attacks effectively by disassembling his parts. When disassembled, his core is centrally located among his parts and safe from critical damage. Stone Man's main weapon, the Power Stone, causes extremely dense stones to hit his opponent while swinging around his body, accelerated by each other's gravitational pull.

Stone Man first appeared in the story Warrior's Day Off, where the eight Wily Numbers from Mega Man 5 have part-time jobs in an amusement park to obtain money for Dr. Wily. He operates the Ferris wheel. When Bass attacks the park, Stone Man and the others protect the guests and attempt to stop Bass.

In Mega Man Gigamix, the fifth Numbers protected Mega Man, Rush, Cut Man and Elec Man from three Stardroids in the underground, but the eight were easily destroyed, with Stone Man being taken down by Uranus. The eight were later retrieved by Dr. Cossack and his robots, being repaired in Dr. Light's Laboratory.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)[]

Stone Man was also featured in the Mega Man comic series from Archie Comics. He made his first appearance during the Mega Man/Sonic the Hedgehog Worlds Collide crossover as part of large army of Robot Masters. He and Concrete Man battled Knuckles the Echidna, whom they quickly discovered to be as powerful as Guts Man.

Other appearances[]

Stone Man also appeared in the manga Rockman 5 and Rockman 4Koma Dai Koushin.

Trivia[]

  • Stone Man was named Block Man in his boss character contest submission. The name Block Man would later be used for a boss in Mega Man 11.
  • When Mega Man 5 is started in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, it shows Stone Man in the loading screen.
  • Stone Man's design may be based on a golem, a stone or clay humanoid figure brought to life by magic or technology.
    • He is notably similar to the golem-type enemies from the Dragon Quest series.
  • In Stone Man's official Mega Man 5 and Rockman Complete Works artwork, the gem on his torso is colored green; however, in his Mega Man 5 sprites, it is colored red. It is unknown if this is due to palette or color limitations. Stone Man's Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters sprite has the gem correctly colored green.
