Mega Man 7/Burst Man

Burst Man's stage is based around both water and explosives.

When you start the level, head to the right. The platforming section isn't difficult, but you have to watch out for the spikes which will instantly kill you if you aren't invulnerable. You will also have to clear out the obstacles with the number 3 on them by pressing on its attached disc.

When you drop down once screen, you can either reach the 1-up at the top-left, or go down the right-hand path to collect an E-tank.

Continue heading down into the water. At the waterline, there is a platform that leads to a 1-up, but the level continues underwater.

Underwater route
If you head underwater, you will encounter the mid-stage boss, a crab-like creature. It has a set of attacks, the most common being either a three-shot burst, or a ramming attack. When it is destroyed, head to the left, as you will now be pushed upward to the surface. Continue right and climb up.

At the top of the ladders, you will encounter a disappearing platform section. Rush Jet is best used here. At the end, you will drop down to the second water section.

The letter R on the second water section, by jumping out of the water when it is at the highest point. Proceed all the way to the right, and climb up to reach the boss.

Burst Man
Burst man one of the viable choices as the first enemy to attack, since he doesn't have many attacks that inflict direct damage. His weapons are designed to try to throw you against the spiked ceiling to result in instant death.

Burst man is vulnerable to the Freeze Cracker (from ../Freeze Man's Stage/) and has four major attacks:
 * He extends a bubble blower from its head to release a wall of three bubbles. He then follows this by thrusting his arm into the floor to blow bubbles from the floor, which quickly float to the top of the room.
 * He fires three Danger Wrap attacks at you. You can jump between the bubbles, but if caught, will have to shoot rapidly to break them.
 * When struck with a charged Mega Blaster or Freeze Cracker, he is knocked back and drops four bombs scattered around the room.

If you do not have the Freeze Cracker, you can easily defeat him by trying to attack as often as possible. However, when he creates the three yellow bubbles, charge your mega buster and attack through the wall.

When defeated, you will receive the Danger Wrap, which encases enemies and objects in bubbles.
