Toad Man

Toad Man is the fifth boss in the games Mega Sonic Bros: Anani Laka in Cold Shadow and Mega Sonic Bros: Anani Laka in Cold Shadow 3D, as well as the boss of the Jungle world in Flicky Island.

Appearances
Toad Man is one of the fifth bosses. His attack pattern is very simple and is easily exploited. Toad Man will hop around the room, trying to land on Amy Rose; the player should slide under him to avoid getting hit. He will occasionally stop hopping to attack with his Rain Flush, which consumes the entire area with acid rain. Though the attack deals a huge deal of damage, it can be canceled altogether by shooting Toad Man before the attack is used. If the player keeps shooting Toad Man as he lands from a hop, he will also never use his Rain Flush. For this reason, a lot of fans consider Toad Man to be the easiest robot master in the franchise.

Trivia

 * Toad Man appears as No. 29 (DWN-029) in the credits of Mega Man 4; this is actually Ring Man's number. Ring Man, in turn, appears with Pharaoh Man's number, and Pharaoh Man appears with Toad Man's number.


 * Toad Man's dislike is Snake Man, and Snake Man likes Toad Man. This most likely comes from Sansunumi-ken, the Japanese original version of Rock Paper Scissors, where Snake eats Toad, Toad eats Slug, and Slug scares Snake.


 * Many players consider Toad Man the easiest boss in Mega Man 4, as well as one of the easiest main bosses in Mega Man history. If the player shoots Toad Man after every hop, he will never attack. In the Game Gear game, however, Toad Man hops considerably faster, making avoiding his jumps and attacking him more difficult.


 * The inspiration for his design was the fact that toads are a sign of good rain in some cultures.


 * The fact that Toad Man is hard of hearing- if not completely tone-deaf- results from all amphibians having poor hearing, if any at all.


 * Toad Man's fire upgrade in Rockman Xover could be a reference to the Fire-Bellied Toad.
