DLWN-019/DRWN-019/DWN-019 Gemini Man is one of the eight Robot Masters from Mega Man 3 in Mega Man Maker. Although Gemini Man has been in the game's files since version 1.0.0, as of version 1.9.0, he is not selectable in-game by normal means.

Gemini Man was built by both Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. He was one of eight Robot Masters assigned to travel to different mining planets to gather Energy Elements and other materials to finish building the peace-keeping robot Gamma. Gemini Man is capable of creating holographic copies of himself, and uses that power to confuse and overwhelm his opponents as he attacks them. He also uses his signature weapon, the Gemini Laser to fight.

He later comes back during the events of Mega Man III, where he and three other Robot Masters from Mega Man 3 once again fight Mega Man but lose.

Behavior

Gemini Man exists in Mega Man Maker but is unobtainable through normal means. He can only be obtained by hacking the Recents or Favorites section to include him. Although he has a proper entity thumbnail and level profile, in actuality he is nothing more than an invisible 1x1 entity with boss options, and the level intro for levels including him is simply the "?" intro (which normally appears when playing a level that uses a Party Ball or an Energy Element instead of a Robot Master, or multiple bosses). If he exists within a level, attempting to play said level will simply cause the game to crash with a Code Error.

Despite this, special setups allow a level with Gemini Man to be played and prior to v1.8.0, was able to be put in the game as a fully functioning boss (starting from 1.8.0 onward, all his code was removed). However, he spawns as an invisible solid object instead of an actual boss. This is due to Gemini Man having a now non-existent boss ID, being 9. Due to not being updated since 1.0.0, Gemini Man's code structure is not made with multiple bosses in mind.

Trivia

• Gemini Man was cut due to technical issues; his AI did not work well with customized terrain.
• Gemini Man was ported to Mega Man Maker from his code in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2.
• As an April Fools announcement in 2022, it was made to look like Goldstorm under the alias of Major Issues was leaking the boss, but Luigi confirmed it was a joke and that his unused code was unchanged.
• In the 1.8 reveal livestream, a level named Gemini Man was among Luigi's saved levels, seen as he was scrolling through various showcases. Upon various users in chat pointing it out, he revealed there had been some private efforts to make the boss work, but as they never went anywhere, no remnant of it was publicly added.
  • Despite this, Gemini Man was one of the possible voting options for the 1.9 Robot Master vote contest.
