In the Games

Classic era

Mega Man

Mambu sprite from Mega Man.

In Mega Man, Mambus are found in Cut Man Stage and Bomb Man's stage. Appearing near the end of the level, they float in from the right side of the screen, occasionally stopping in midair to open their shell fire off shots in eight directions. Once a Mambu leaves the screen or is destroyed, another floats in at the same height.

Mambus can be destroyed in one hit from any weapon, awarding 800 points, but are only vulnerable while their shell is open. As they always follow the same pattern and stop in the same spots, it is possible to memorise where their shots will be and dodge them accordingly.
