Hoo, boy, and I thought Bass had a chip on his shoulder. Tengu Man is pride personified. Mega Man 8 gave each of the Robot Master speaking parts and a great deal of Tengu Man's dialog was dedicated to mocking the player. Forget about saving the world. I wanted to kick the crap out of Tengu Man just to shut him up. World peace was an afterthought. Like Cloud Man in Mega Man 7, Tengu Man has a battlefield that is larger than a single screen. Flying through the air, he tries to crash into you along with attacking you with his Tornado Hold. In spite of his huge ego, I've always thought Tengu Man looked incredibly cool, but for the longest time I wasn't sure just what his design was supposed to be based off of. Turns out tengu are a popular brand of Japanese demons, usually taking the form of birds that have human characteristics. Like Shade Man, Tengu Man has two different level themes, except this varies depending on which version of Mega Man 8 you're playing. If you're playing the PlayStation version, Tengu Man's level theme is happy-go-lucky. The Saturn version takes on a far more serious tone.

One of the numerous fire themed Robot Masters, despite using intense heat, Burner Man's stage isn't really flame based, instead taking place in a forest. King ordered Burner Man to destroy a forest each day or a bomb inside his body will self destruct, killing him. Of course this was all a lie that King made up to get Burner Man to burn down a ton of forests and the Robot Master seems to be none the wiser. Designed by Hitoshi Ariga, Burner Man sports that Megamix slasher smile that more than a few Robot Masters have been known to show in Ariga's works. Usually when there's a spike hazard in a Robot Master's battle room, it's on the ceiling. In Burner Man's case, there are two sets of spikes on the left and right side of the room. Burner Man is weak to Cold Man's Ice Wall, but in order to really do damage to him, you have to hit him so it knocks him into one of the spike pits. You might think Burner Man would be slow with those bulky tanks on his back. Burner Man is one of the fastest, most frantic Robot Master in the whole series, making Quick Man and all the other speed demons look like snails. He also has a sizable amount of attacks like placing bear traps in the ground, diving into you and his Wave Burner. His stage isn't exactly a cake walk either so you'll probably die numerous times before you actually witness firsthand how crazy Burner Man is.
