Acid Man was developed by the Mecha-Chuchets Institute of Robology. His role before Dr. Wily's reprogramming of him was to measure all of the chemicals that were stored inside tanks. He was a perfectionist and WILL NOT accept any impairments to the measurements. After Wily got his hands on him, he become a stereotypical mad scientist robot that won't ever shut up about acid.

Despite the cool acid theme of this level, it is also the game's single water level, so expect those juicy high jumps to make a comeback.

The water starts out in a normal blue, but as it takes more acid, it changes to yellow, then red. If a pool of red water gets hit with acid, the pool itself then becomes a deadly green acid pool. Besides the final green phase, this is actually a smart reference to how one can examine the amount of acid contained in a liquid, including drinks, even drinking water!

The further you get through the level, you'll notice that the underwater sections of this follow the blue-yellow-red pattern, too. Mercifully, there's no underwater green section.

Acid Man's weapon is the Acid Barrier, this is unique in that he can still fire his main buster while the shield is up. He's weak to Block Man's Block Dropper, because acid can’t phase through solid rock that easily. Use it to quickly eliminate the Acid Barrier.

Acid Man has the Speed Gear. When he uses it, he can quickly swim under-acid to get a quick jump on you. This isn't a full transformation like with Block Man and his Power Gear golem form, so just keep hitting Acid Man if you can during this phase and you'll eventually melt his dreams away, and then the Acid Barrier is yours!

That Acid Barrier really is a cool weapon, though, and another great shield weapon at that! Mega Man can also use the weapon's main buster while the barrier is out. The shots go in a slight arc, so they're better to aim with compared to Mega Man's regular buster. The shield itself can block projectiles, but with the Power Gear, the shield can melt enemies up close.

As a shield weapon, the Power Gear doesn't have to be on the entire time to use the boosted Acid Barrier. Just turn the Power on, activate the barrier, then turn off the Power. You'll still have the powered-up Acid Barrier until it's gone by other means.
