Description: Air Man's stage is relatively short and shouldn't present much of a problem. His stage takes place in the sky; high above the clouds. The most dangerous hazard is the amount of pits you can fall in, which results in your immediate death. You should always be careful when taking a jump and always make sure no enemy will block your path when you actually try to.
Walkthrough: You'll start the stage on a long platform. Begin by moving to the right and don't stop until you reach the edge. Once you do, a large metal head will appear, which cannot be destroyed. However, you can destroy the miniature heads that come out of it, so make sure you do. You'll notice small spikes that come out of larger head every once in a while. You'll have to wait until the spikes come down and then jump across. Go the edge of this head and another similar head will appear. Do the same process here and make sure none of the miniature heads are blocking your path. Repeat this procedure three more times (there are five heads total) until you reach a three block platform at the very end.
Now you'll notice gorilla-looking robots on small cloud machines. You have to kill these guys and then jump from cloud to cloud. Be careful when the cloud machines are in front of the large clouds because you won't be able to see your character. When you reach the other side, you'll be on a large platform. Keep going all the way to the right and try to destroy the small eggs that the robotic birds drop. If the eggs break, several smaller metal birds will come out and attack you, so make sure they're destroyed very quickly. At the end of this platform is a small opening, which is obscured by a large cloud. Go down this opening to access the next part of the stage.
Now you'll be on a four block platform, and in front of you are some smaller blocks. Underneath you, however, are some rather annoying enemies that shoot small worms. Jump across each small block until you reach the left side of the area. Go to the bottom and drop down through a small opening to the left that is covered by a cloud. When you reach the bottom, keep going to the right and another one of those large heads will appear. Destroy the smaller heads and jump on the large one when its spikes are down. Go to the edge of this head to summon another large head to appear. Jump on this one when its spikes are down and then jump on the platform to the right. Keep going down the path and you'll encounter a fan enemy that sucks Mega Man in. Destroy him and keep going to the right, destroying all of the enemies that get in your way. When you reach the very end of the path, you'll see the chamber gates. Go inside and prepare to fight Air Man!
Strategy: Air Man shoots small tornadoes that blow you back and take a good chunk of your health away. After he shoots his tornadoes, he'll take about a two second rest. Use this time to shoot him from afar (you can also dodge the tornadoes he shoots by jumping in between them). After he shoots about two or three rounds of tornadoes, he'll start jumping around the room (why he does this I do not know). When he does, fire at will. He'll eventually go down, as it only takes about seven Mega Buster shots to destroy him. When he's in pieces, you'll receive his weapon and an important item: the Air Shooter and Item-2!
