Cheat Man is a boss from the Rockman 2 ROM hack Rockman CX. According to the creator, he created Cheat Man by taking Heat Man and adding a C to his name. As his name suggests, his main ability is distorting the game to gain an advantage in battle.

He appears in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 as the boss of Tier 6, the Battle Network. He reappears in the Tier X level Deep Thoughts as the last boss encountered.

Once the player's save file reaches 100%, Cheat Man will appear as an NPC right outside Dr. Light's Lab, where he will congratulate Mega Man on clearing the game 100%, and unlock Cheat Mode. Talking to him again afterwards will take Mega Man straight to the Cheat Menu.

Battle

Cheat Man is significantly less difficult than he is in Rockman CX, but he is still very much a threat. All fights with him start with dialogue, and he begins the fight by throwing the text of the final dialogue box at Mega Man while shooting 3 projectiles straight forward. He then floats near the top of the room and shoots 2 large projectiles that bounce off surfaces 8 times. After that, he uses the following pattern:

• Float back down to the ground, and charge up a laser. Cheat Man will try to fake Mega Man out by waiting until a split-second after what sounds like an audio cue to shoot the laser. The laser reduces Mega Man's health to 1.
  • In Deep Thoughts, the laser outright kills the player, bypassing the effect of the Skull Amulet.
• Shoot another bouncing projectile, then float back and forth with a wall in front of him. Shooting this wall will teleport the projectile to the top of the screen, where it will fall down on Mega Man. This also happens if it makes contact with the Sakugarne or Rush.
• At the middle of the room, shoot yet another bouncing projectile, float up, and forcibly teleport Mega Man to the top of the room 9 times, with the last 4 times having a smaller window between teleports.
