Salt Water (ソルトウォーター Soruto Wōtā) is Neptune's Special Weapon from Mega Man V. With it, Mega Man fires a large ball of water that travels forward in a small arc. Upon landing on the floor or a wall, the ball makes a splash and splits into three smaller drops; the direction each drop goes depends on where the ball landed.
Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level
Salt Water is one of the weapons included in Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. Unlike in Mega Man V, the blobs do not disappear upon contact with enemies, but instead go through them, inflicting multiple hits. Notably, Salt Water is effective on little to no fire-based enemies, bosses, and hazards (with the Rain Flush taking most of those attributes). Instead, it works well on bulky enemies and minibosses, as well as bosses like Punk, Hard Man, and Metal Man.
Trivia
- Salt Water was one of the weapons that received the least amount of votes for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3's roster; making it a candidate for Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. In the developer's poll, it won the "Multihit" category.
- In Mega Man V, Mega Man uses a throwing sprite for the Salt Water instead of his usual shooting sprite. The shooting sprite was used to better reflect the weapon's official artwork (where Mega Man uses his buster).
