Yaffu (ヤッフー Yaffū), also known as S-R300,[Citation needed] is a giant fan mecha enemy which was originally used to generate strong gusts of wind while shooting robot movies. They only appear in the beginning of Wily Stage 3 in Mega Man 6, and they generate wind to pull or push Mega Man, which can be dangerous as the area has spikes. The arrow on them shows the direction of the wind, and Mega Man can use this to his advantage to jump over spikes.
Etymology
- Its name is probably a combination of Japanese words, "yajirushi" (矢印, arrow symbol) and "hū" (風, wind).
Trivia
- According to the Mega Man Legacy Collection, Yaffu is one of only two enemies in Mega Man 6 which has no official artwork, the other being the final boss' third form, Wily Capsule.
