Mega Man & Bass/Atetemino & Monking
Stage walkthrough
BOSS: Atetemino & Monking
The name "Atetemino" comes from "atetemina" (Japanese for "try and hit me") and "minomushi" (Japanese for "bagworm"). Monking is a recurring enemy whose variations appeared already in Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 5 (GB).
Atetemino is weak against Astro Man's Copy Vision. Furthermore, when a Copy Vision is on screen, Monking will attack it instead of Mega Man.
Therefore, don't rush. Wait for Monking to get in the arena, then create a Copy Vision on the floor, jump on the platform and lift up Atetemino; Monking will leave short before the Copy Vision disappears. This way, Mega Man won't be attacked by Monking, and Atetemino will be hit two-three times by the Copy Vision.
Be careful when Atetemino receives the final blow! The platform where Mega Man stands on will fall into the lava. If Mega Man doesn't jump to safety, the fight will result in a double knock-out!
- Trivia: like most elements in Mega Man & Bass, Atetemino is a boss that appeared already in Mega Man 8.
