Mega Man 8 - Astro Man's Stage

"How did you find me?! I feel so embarrassed!" ...I used Google Maps! Mwahahaha! Astro Man's stage itself is all kinds of weird. The stage itself is themed after virtual reality, so everything looks pretty strange. The stage basically has two types of gameplay to it... platforming sections with a new style of disappearing platforms, and maze sections. The platforming sections are rather fun, really, while the maze sections are just tedious as you can loop around them infinitely, so there is not much of a sense of progression. There is also a brief auto-scrolling segment, but it is so easy it is barely worth mentioning.

Astro Man himself is not all that bad. Just as long as your eyes are sharp enough to see where he goes during Astro Crush you will be fine. The main thing to remember is to try to stay to the right side of the screen as often as possible as that is the safest place to be when Astro Man decides to make his orbs spin around the room. While I did not know this at the time, Homing Sniper can be charged, so do that to take Astro Man out. Just spamming the weapon results in it getting blocked, even if you fire three at a time, far too often, so just use charged shots.

Enjoy!~

Nice little google maps joke, but I don't know when he said that.

@mysterymastermind175 It is one of his two intro quotes. He will either say what I wrote in the description or "I've come here, but now I don't know what to do!" whenever the battle starts.

I hate Astro Man's stage. I particularly hate how it's pretty much the same stage repeated twice.

I love Astro Man, however. I love the idea of a boss who really just plain doesn't want to be there. The way he freaks out when you put a target on him is hilarious too.

Once you get the timing down, you can stun-lock him with the Homing Sniper, much like the Danger Wrap does to Cloud Man.

AstroMan needs a hug.

In the maze part i could only think, Welcome to Yume Nikki

AstroMan, Poor Guy!

He sounds like he's clinically depressed

"I can't take this anymore!"... D:

Astro Man cracks me up everytime I hear him. lmao. Mega Man 8 has to have the most terrible voice overs I heard in a video game. The game itself is decent though.

[chaosgreyblood]

You can actually get in-between Astro Man and his spheres and hit him point blank with Homing Sniper. I admit his spheres make up for a decent defense if you don't know what to do at first, even with Homing Sniper.

And then he Took His Level in Badass on Megaman and Bass...

Astro Man sounds depressed and confused.

The wavy background in Astro Man's room when the space background appears/disappears seems to be a Saturn exclusive, too.

Uh, This guy is repeated in megaman 9 xD

My favorite Robot Master of the entire series, the second one being Yellow Devil. ^^ Though, the Yellow Devil isn't really a Robot Master, but meh. Meh! I say!~
