'''Shine''' is a special weapon in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' that is derived from Fox's down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.0.0]].


When the attack key is pressed, the user is surrounded by a hexagonal barrier for 1 frame and can reflect most projectiles that come in contact with it. The reflector can be held up for as long as the user holds the attack key, and they are unable to move while it's active. Energy is only consumed if a projectile is successfully deflected, and it can be jump-canceled as well. The reflector itself can cause damage, though only upon inital activation, and its range only spans the area directly around the user.
'''DWN-058 ''Astro Man''''', is a Robot Master that appears as a boss in ''Mega Man 8'' and ''Mega Man & Bass''. His appearance and behavior in Mega Man 8 was added in version [[1.5.0]] of Mega Man Maker. Astro Man fights using his signature weapons, the screen-encompassing Astro Crush and illusive [[Copy Vision]], along with his spheres that orbit his body and fire projectiles.


The user will lose all vertical momentum when using Shine, and the force of gravity is reduced as well. This stacks with [[Water]]'s lowered gravity. Bearing this in mind, users can use Shine repeatedly while airborne to cross over large gaps, or hold it to fly up tremendous heights with the help of objects such as [[Fan]]s or [[Spring]]s. The former technique is often used as the basis for [[Spike Fall]] levels.
He was once a robot built for use in a planetarium but was modified by [[Dr. Wily]] for combat and sent to destroy [[Mega Man]. He along with Tengu Man were later rebuilt for use in combat again by the robot King as a part of his robot revolution where they once again came into conflict with Mega Man as well as [[Bass]].


Regarding [[bosses]], [[Grenade Man]]'s Crazy Destroyer and [[Sheep Man]]'s Thunder Wool are the only attacks that cannot be reflected, though the player is immune to them as long as Shine is held up. While most reflected projectiles deal two units of damage to bosses, a reflected Leaf Shield will deal four units of damage to [[Wood Man]].
==Behavior==
Astro Man has three attack patterns that he can randomly use during battle.
 
1.A spin and dive towards the player in an attempt to collide with them.
2.An attack involving Astro Man's spherical balls: they rotate in an elliptical path and shoot shooting star projectiles. Astro Man is an easy target during this attack as he does not move or attempt to guard himself.
3.The Astro Crush, which consists of a meteor rain made up of flaming afterimages of himself that are indestructible but can be reflected or canceled out by certain weapons. Before using it, he uses his spheres at a lower level and quickly flashes across several sections of the screen in an attempt to confuse the player. Both Astro Man and his spheres are intangible during this attack.
 
Unlike most bosses, Astro Man floats in the air and does not travel on [[Tilesets|terrain]] and other solid [[Level Objects|assets]] such as the [[Conveyor Belt]].

==Trivia==
*In Mega Man 8, Astro Man's Astro Crush attack originally had a safe spot located at the last height where Astro Man appeared. [[Aze]] stated that this safe spot was removed for Mega Man Maker "to make the boss more challenging and fun".
*Because Astro Man is featured as a boss in both Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass, he is one of few Robot Masters that have multiple special weapons usable by the player in the classic Mega Man series. In Mega Man 8, the player obtains the Astro Crush upon defeating Astro Man while in Mega Man & Bass, the player obtains the Copy Vision. As of version 1.8.3, Copy Vision is the only weapon of the two available in Mega Man Maker for use by the player.
*Astro Man is one of the only bosses in Mega Man Maker who can not be confined into a small space and contained during a fight as a result of his ability to teleport.
*Astro Man is notably weaker in Mega Man & Bass compared to how he is in Mega Man 8, having all of his attacks reduced from 6 damage to 2 or 3 with the exception of his contact damage of 4 being unchanged. His total health was also reduced from 40 to 28 to resemble the health of other bosses in Mega Man Maker.

==Trivia==
*Shine is actually a nickname given to Fox's down special by players, and the formal name of the move is Reflector.
*Shine and [[Nado]] were both programmed by WreckingPrograms in the Mega Engine before the release of ''Mega Man Maker''.
*If the player bounces on a striped [[Bouncy Ball]] while holding Shine underwater, they can reach 79 tiles up, or nearly the height of six screens.
*While Fox and his Reflector were present in the first ''Super Smash Bros.'', Shine functions more closely to its ''Melee'' incarnation since it doesn't automatically cancel upon landing, and it can be jumped out of.

He along with Tengu Man were later rebuilt for use in combat again by the robot King as a part of his robot revolution where they once again came into conflict with Mega Man as well as Bass.

Behavior

1.A spin and dive towards the player in an attempt to collide with them. 2.An attack involving Astro Man's spherical balls: they rotate in an elliptical path and shoot shooting star projectiles. Astro Man is an easy target during this attack as he does not move or attempt to guard himself. 3.The Astro Crush, which consists of a meteor rain made up of flaming afterimages of himself that are indestructible but can be reflected or canceled out by certain weapons. Before using it, he uses his spheres at a lower level and quickly flashes across several sections of the screen in an attempt to confuse the player.
