Maxsnake (マックスネイク) is a snake-type Medarot from the original Medarot game.

Description

Maxsnake resembles a green snake with a white underbelly and two tube-like devices for arms. It has a snake-like tail instead of legs, and attacks with a variety of Virus-type parts that can impair the enemy, reducing their ability to aim.

Maxsnake's name probably comes from a combination of maxmimum and snake. It's also sometimes rendered as Macsnake in English. (This might be to complete the joke with its upgrade Macdosnake, as "Mac" and "Macdo" are both common abreviations for McDonald's in Japan.)

In the games

Maxsnake attacks with Virus attacks, which inflict the Flux status effect to lower the opponent's success rate. Despite technically not having any legs, it's categorized as a Multi-Leg-type Medarot.

In Medarot 1, 2, and R, Maxsnake's parts have the Flux attribute, making it the obvious choice for use with the Snake Medal.

In Medarot 1

Maxsnake is the sole user of Virus attacks in Medarot 1 and one of the two Medarots in the game capable of causing the Flux status (The other being Propolis). Its armor is quite low (except on its head), and its attacks are fairly innacurate. Its legs however make it reasonably fast-moving and suited towards physical attack skills.

Its parts can be obtained in random battles or bought from a convenience store in either version.

In Medarot 2

Maxsnake's parts are not available in Medarot 2, but can be traded from Medarot 1. It was replaced by the new SNA-type, Macdosnake, which uses similar attacks.

Maxsnake was not included in the remake Medarot 2 Core.

In Medarot Brave

Quote: Wait up, will you? You're infected by a virus. Don't move for a few seconds, okay?

In Medarot DS

Its model number was changed to SNA00-M.

In the anime

Maxsnake has a brief cameo in episode 9 of the original series, where it is seen being defeated by Kikuhime's Peppercat. Kikuhime wins its Virus arm part afterwards.
