DWN-049 Freeze Man is one of the eight Robot Master bosses from Mega Man 7. He was added to Mega Man Maker in 1.7.0 His signature weapon is the Freeze Cracker. He was originally created to create non-polluting energy but was later modified by Dr. Wily into a combat robot.

Behavior

Freeze Man remains still, taunting the player. If the player fires first, Freeze Man makes a high jump to use the Freeze Cracker. If the player moves first, Freeze Man starts walking. While walking, he will jump upwards and will throw the Freeze Cracker downwards, freezing the floor. If the player is on the ground while this happens, they will be stuck and will have to press multiple buttons to break free or will have to wait until they get hit. Freeze Man will then come to the ground and will throw one Freeze Cracker up to the ceiling. This will form icicles on the ceiling. If there is no ceiling however, they will simply spawn from the top of the screen. The icicles will later fall and will destroy parts of the frozen floor, removing the ice physics from it. While this happens, Freeze Man will throw a Freeze Cracker projectile at the player. If they get hit, they will be frozen until they get hit again or press multiple buttons. The effects of the downwards and upwards Freeze Cracker will go after a while if the player does not get hit.

Similarly to his fight in Dr. Wily's Castle in Mega Man 7, if Freeze Man is hit by the player's Freeze Cracker or another ice weapon such as Ice Slasher, the weapon will deal damage like normal but Freeze Man and the player will stop in place. Freeze Man is affected by gravity during this phase while the player is not. Freeze Man will then mock the player, recover 5 HP, unfreeze the player and himself and resume normal behavior. However, he will not stop in place or heal if an ice weapon is set as his primary weakness.

Glitches

• In version 1.7.1, if the player was frozen by Freeze Man's Freeze Cracker and was hit after getting frozen or tried to break out, the game would sometimes crash. This was likely due to the sound effect for breaking out of ice not being set properly. This was fixed in version 1.7.2.

Trivia

• Freeze Man is one of the robot masters that reacts to weapons. In Freeze Man case, he heals after getting hit with any ice weapon.
• Freeze Man is also one of two robot masters that will not attack or move until player attacks or move. Other robot master that does it is Skull Man
