Stone Man (or Stoneman) is a Robot Master appearing in Mega Man 5. He is one of the Robot Masters ostensibly working for Proto Man in a bid for world domination, though like the others, he is later revealed to have been created by Dr. Wily.

Stone Man is a bulky, golem-like robot with a body made out of brown bricks. The bricks can fall apart and reassemble when he drops onto the ground, and he is also capable of using the Power Stone, which sends boulders spiralling out from his body.

In the Games

Mega Man 5

Boss sprite from Mega Man 5.

In Mega Man 5, Stone Man is one of the main eight Robot Master bosses and appears as the fourth choice (in reading order) on the stage select screen. His stage - the longest in the game - is set in a vast mountain range, going in and out of caves.

Stone Man spends much of the battle jumping around, crumbling apart when he hits the ground after a particularly large leap. He is invincible as a pile of rubble, but reconstructs himself soon after to continue his pattern. He is also able to use the Power Stone to create two flying rocks, which spiral out from him in a growing circle pattern, though this attack is rarely used and only if Mega Man is not very close to him.

Stone Man's weakness is the Napalm Bomb from Napalm Man, which deals 4 damage per hit. Defeating him grants Mega Man the Power Stone.

Battle Network era

Stone Man has a Net Navi equivalent in StoneMan.EXE, a golem made of massive grey and crimson stone blocks. He first appears as a minor boss in Mega Man Battle Network and has no operator.

Related Robot Masters

Stone Man is one of several Robot Masters with an earth, stone or mining theme. Others include:

• Guts Man (Mega Man)
• Hard Man (Mega Man 3)
• Drill Man (Mega Man 4)
• Ground Man (Mega Man & Bass)
• Concrete Man (Mega Man 9)
• Impact Man (Mega Man 11)

Trivia

• Stone Man, Crystal Man and Circring Q9 are the only bosses in Mega Man 5 that take damage from Gravity Hold without it being their weakness; it only deals 1 damage per use, however.
• Although Stone Man's large jump causes the screen to shake similarly to Guts Man and Hard Man, the effect is purely visual and does not stun or affect Mega Man.
