'''Bubble Lead''' is [[Bubble Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' and reappearing in ''[[Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge]]'' and ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.7.0]].
'''Shrink''' is a small shrimp robot. It originates from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' from [[Bubble Man]]'s stage and reappears in ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]''. It was added to ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' in version [[1.2.0]].


It shoots out a slow bubble in a small arc that then travels across the floor and down corners, only stopping if it hits a wall or enemy with more than 3 HP. It will continue onwards if it destroys an enemy or destructible object barring [[Weapon Block]]s, but it cannot travel across [[Ice Block]]s. When used underwater, it will rise up 2 tiles before falling due to the lower gravity. Since it is a water-based weapon, it can douse [[Flame Pillars]], extinguish burning [[Oil]], and dilute [[Chemical Solution]]. All members of the [[Spine]] family are susceptible to this weapon. Up to 2 Bubble Leads can be onscreen at a time.
==Behavior==
When on land, the Shrink will begin to panic, and slowly bounce away from the player, with every few bounces being slightly higher in height than the usual. When in water, the Shrink will swim in the direction of the player, pause for a few seconds while descending downwards slightly, before repeating the pattern.


Unlike the original weapon, it can damage almost all enemies. However, it is no longer a weakness for [[Hothead]]s.
If a Shrink in land falls to water, it will move to its water pattern.
 
In ''Mega Man 2'', Shrink does not interact with solids while swimming. This was changed in Mega Man Maker, presumably due to water being limited to terrain.
 
Shrinks can be produced from the [[Lantern Fish]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite being originally stated to be made out of sulfuric acid, Bubble Lead lowers Chemical Solution's level instead of raising it.
*One of the definitions to the word "shrink" is "to retreat" which is exactly what the enemy Shrink does when on land in ''Mega Man Maker''.
*The description is a joke on how the pronunciation of Lead in the weapon's name is unclear within the Mega Man community.
 
==Glitches==
*Shrink can be trapped in a [[Danger Wrap]] bubble when swimming around underwater, but cannot be trapped in a bubble when flopping around on land.

Shrink is a small shrimp robot. It originates from Mega Man 2 from Bubble Man's stage and reappears in Mega Man: The Wily Wars. It was added to Mega Man Maker in version 1.2.0.

Behavior

When on land, the Shrink will begin to panic, and slowly bounce away from the player, with every few bounces being slightly higher in height than the usual. When in water, the Shrink will swim in the direction of the player, pause for a few seconds while descending downwards slightly, before repeating the pattern.

If a Shrink in land falls to water, it will move to its water pattern.

In Mega Man 2, Shrink does not interact with solids while swimming. This was changed in Mega Man Maker, presumably due to water being limited to terrain.

Shrinks can be produced from the Lantern Fish.

Trivia

  • One of the definitions to the word "shrink" is "to retreat" which is exactly what the enemy Shrink does when on land in Mega Man Maker.

Glitches

  • Shrink can be trapped in a Danger Wrap bubble when swimming around underwater, but cannot be trapped in a bubble when flopping around on land.
