Spark Mandrill, known as Spark Mandriller (スパーク・マンドリラー) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, first appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X. He is an electricity-themed Reploid based on a mandrill, with immense physical strength and lightning attacks.
Like the rest of the Mavericks in the first game, he was previously part of the Maverick Hunters, specifically serving in the 17th Unit with X and Zero.
In the Games
Mega Man X
Spark Mandrill debuts in Mega Man X as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a former Maverick Hunter who joined Sigma's rebellion, and serves as the boss of Power Plant Stage. His attacks are quite quick and powerful, but his punch can be deflected with a Charge Shot. Defeating Spark Mandrill grants X the Electric Spark. His weakness is the Shotgun Ice, from Chill Penguin, which can be infamously used to freeze him solid and stop him from moving. A boss attack rematch with Spark Mandrill later occurs in Sigma Stage 3.
Mega Man Xtreme
In Mega Man Xtreme, Spark Mandrill returns as a digitized Maverick in the Mother Computer. He is one of the four bosses in Normal Mode, being the boss of Power Plant Stage. He again yields Electric Spark to X and is weak to Shotgun Ice, though he is considerably more difficult due to his large size on the Game Boy screen. Spark Mandrill is later part of the boss attack in Sigma Stage 3.
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
In the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Spark Mandrill receives a redesign but plays largely the same role as in Mega Man X, being the boss of Electromagnetic Power Plant. He is a simpleton who joins Sigma's rebellion out of blind loyalty, assuming he knows best. In battle, for X he is still weak to Shotgun Ice and yields Electric Spark upon his defeat, while for Vile he is weak to weapons obtained from Chill Penguin (Distance Needler, Serotinal Bullet, Infinity Gig, Quick Homesick, Sea Dragon's Rage) and yields the Rocket Punch weapon system. Mandrill's boss attack rematch later occurs in Sigma Palace 2.
Other Game Appearances
- In Mega Man Xtreme 2, Spark Mandrill returns for the Boss Attack mode alongside the other Mega Man Xtreme bosses. His weakness is adjusted to Strike Chain/Lightning, unfortunately negating the Shotgun Ice strategy.
- In Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Spark Mandrill appears in X Challenge. He is first fought alongside Bubble Crab in 3-1, and later with Rainy Turtloid in 9-1.
- In Rockman ✕over, Spark Mandrill is one of the four bosses from World 1.
- In TEPPEN, Spark Mandrill appears in multiple cards.
Other Media
- In the Mega Man cartoon, Spark Mandrill appears in the episode "Mega X", having traveled back in time with Vile to steal a valuable mineral called Lightanium.
- In the Rockman X manga, Spark Mandrill reprises his role from Mega Man X.
- In Rockman X Mega Mission, Spark Mandrill is revived as Spark Mandrill L by the Limited.
- In the manga Irregular Hunter Rockman X, Spark Mandrill reprises his role in Mega Man X.
- In Rockman X The Novel: Irregulars Report, Spark Mandrill reprises his role from Mega Man X.
- In the Archie Mega Man comic, Spark Mandrill appears in the "Worlds Unite" arc as one of the many Mavericks resurrected in Sigma's army.

Mandrill once fought with X and Zero in the 17th Unit, but when the uprising began, he blindly followed Sigma's orders and joined in with the destruction. Now, by overtaking the power station he has secured an energy source for Sigma's forces and cut off power to the city. Because there was only light resistance, Mandrill leaves most of the fighting to his underlings, spending his time gorging himself on pure electricity, fresh from the generator. |
Behind the Scenes
Developer Commentary
- "Inafune did Eagle and Penguin, Kaji designed Mandrill, Octopus, and Chameleon. Mammoth, Armadillo, and Kuwanger were Tazaki's. Even as I watched them work, I could really see each of their distinct flavors coming out in their illustrations." - (Tatsuya Yoshikawa)[3]
