Mega Man 7/Cloud Man

Cloud Man appears on the left of the stage selection screen.

The first section is not too difficult, but does require jumping across platforms. While enemies pop up between the fan-like platforms, they are easily dodged. At the end is a Tel Tel robot, which will create rainy weather when hit, but this won't prevent rain in the next section.

In the second section, you can find a 1-up at the top-left corner, reached by using Rush Coil. To the right is another Tel Tel, and if hit with Freeze Cracker, it will cause snowy weather (which makes a later section much easier.) Continue to the right and climb up the ladder to the third section. If you are low on energy, you can also use Rush Coil to grab the large energy that's visible.

The third part of the level has nothing too special aside from a few cloud platforms.

The fourth part will have invisible floors if you haven't used the Freeze Cracker. At the end of this section, you will climb up a ladder.

Once you enter, the rain will stop. defeat the Sniper Joe and proceed up the right ladder if you are low on health, or left to continue. You will also find a high ladder. If you can jump and reach it with Rush Coil, you will meet Protoman, who will give a hint about another stage.

The final section opens up to a calmer outside. if you are short on weapons or energy, you can move back and forth near this transition to harvest pickups from the DeluPipi as it drops the egg. After the transition, you will jump across platforms, while being pushed or pulled by Boufooh robots. However, the shouldn't be too difficult.

Cloud Man
Cloud Man follows an pattern:
 * 1) Cloud Man floats upward, calls lightning and fires a lightning beam towards Mega Man.  If the beam hits the ground, it creates floor sparks that travel in both directions
 * 2) Cloud Man returns to the ground, calls lightning to cause wind to push Mega Man.  On the first call, the wind is to the left.  It alternates on each rain.
 * 3) During the storm, Cloud Man calls lightning, then creates floor sparks.
 * 4) When the storm subsides, Cloud Man will float left and right across the arena at low altitude. You can slide under him.

Cloud Man is locked down by Danger Wrap from Burst Man. When he recovers, he will restart his pattern. If you are low on ammo for that weapon, you can also use a charged Mega Buster shot.

You will receive the Thunder Bolt once he is defeated.
