Bounce Man is a Robot Master who appears in Mega Man 11. He was originally developed as a crash test robot, but his stretching and bouncing abilities led him to become a fitness instructor at an indoor athletic center/amusement park called Boing-Boing Park, and his colorful body and friendly appearance made him a big hit with kids and adults alike during his stay there. Despite being repurposed for combat by Dr. Wily and equipped with a Speed Gear, after which he took over Boing-Boing Park, Bounce Man is still the same large, cheerful, childlike robot he always was, still viewing everything as one big game. Bounce Man has a pink body with pink hands that have white fingers and equally-pink, toeless, round "feet". His eyes are on a LED screen. He bears the serial number DLN-088.
His Special Weapon, Bounce Ball, allows Mega Man to shoot three bouncy balls, which can be tilted up or down, that bounce off of walls and enemies several times before exploding in a burst of confetti.
Trivia[]
- The way Bounce Man bounces throughout his room mimics the Armoured Armadillo's Rolling Shield in the Mega Man X series and the Zig Zag Lava Bubble in Super Mario World.
- Bounce Man bears a similar resemblance to Baymax from Big Hero Six in his design.
- The fact that his weapon can deal critical damage to Fuse Man is a pun on rubber being very poor at conducting electricity. (This is also why Sheep Man takes critical damage from the Rebound Striker.)
- Bounce Man's weakness to the Pile Driver references how spikes can pop balloons.
- Bounce Man is the only androgynous Robot Master to exist.
- Due to his round body, Bounce Man would technically be the worst pick for a crash test dummy.
