Air Man is a boss from Mega Man 2. He is a combat robot built by Dr. Wily who has the ability to manipulate wind and create small tornadoes.

He appears in the original Make a Good Mega Man Level as an NPC in Dr. Light's Lab, where he insists he will not make any jokes relating to the song "I Can't Defeat Airman" (a song that Mega Man fans strongly associate with Air Man). At the end of Wily Stage 5, he admits that he lied, as he pilots the Air Capsule while an 8-bit rendition of the aforementioned song plays.

He reappears in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 as an NPC in Tier 10, where he claims he won't make any more cheesy jokes. This turns out to be three times as much of a lie: The level he stands next to, Boil Man, has an upgraded version of the Air Capsule as a secret boss, the same Air Capsule appears as a midboss in the Tier X stage Deep Thoughts, and he appears in an upgraded form known as Unbeatable Air Man at the end of the upper route of Mario Land, another Tier X level. In all three cases, a new 8-bit rendition of "I Can't Defeat Airman" plays.

Air Man also appears in a more standard form as a midboss in the lower route of Mario Land.

Battle

Due to the nature of the level he appears in, Air Man is normally fought using Mario. When fought in the Boss Gallery, he is instead fought as Mega Man.

Air Man follows a simple pattern. He will fire three sets of tornadoes (in varying formations), using his fan to blow both the tornadoes and Mario (or Mega Man) away from him each time. After he has fired three sets of tornadoes, he will jump twice to reach the other side of the room, and his pattern will repeat.
