Junk Man appears on the right of the stage selection screen. The stage is known for cockroach-like enemies that are difficult to hit with the Mega Buster. It is recommended to play this stage after Cloud Man's Stage.
The start of the map has nothing too special. Travel forward, destroying or avoiding enemies until you reach the elevator. In this first elevator, you will be attacked from above, but the enemy shots are easy to dodge. Once the elevator stops, you can continue right until you reach a ladder, which you can climb.
After climbing up, you should reach a second elevator section. If you have Thunder Bolt, you can use it to power up the elevators. This allows a faster trip upward, but carries a risk of bumping into the ceiling (identified by an energy pickup becoming visible on the right.) Once you climb to the next floor, you can use Rush Coil to jump to the out-of-reach ladder and collect Rush Jet.
After the elevators, you will enter a scrap heap. There is another geenrator that you can hit with Thunder Bolt to activate chains carrying junk pieces.
The next scrap heap section is more difficult, but if you obtained Rush Jet, you can fly through the area with limited difficulty.
Boss
Junk Man has a standard pattern:
- A jump, which stuns Mega Man if he is on the ground.
- The shock causes debris to fall from the ceiling.
- The debris is attracted into one large glob, which is than pushed towards Mega Man. He is invulnerable when creating the large cube.
- Junk Man then leaps to the ceiling, then lands on the pile, crushing it.
- He creates a shield from that debris. It is then fired to paralyze Mega man.
- Junk Man jumps back and fourth across the arena, and occasionally throws debris during a jump.
Junk Man is weak against the Thunder Bolt available from Cloud Man's Stage. After you hit him with it, he will jump across and shoot a projectile downward, which is dodged by a simple slide. Once he lands, you can hit him again and eliminate him.
