History VideoGame / MegaManMaker

** Starting with Version 1.8.0, [[spoiler:an 8-bit rendition of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Megalovania]]]] can be potentially accessed for use in the Level Builder but the exact method of accessing it is currently unknown.

* InstantWinCondition: Party Balls and Energy Elements will grant victory to the player even if there are still bosses alive on-screen.

* ShockAndAwe: Thunder Beam from the original ''VideoGame/MegaMan'', as well as Spark Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan3''. You may not want to try electrifying [[VideoGame/MegaMan7 Spring Man]], though...

* AuthorAppeal: There are two weapons inspired on ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' because [=WreckingPrograms=] is a fan of that franchise. Since beta testers [=PKWeegee=] and [=MrKyurem=]'s are fans of Cirno, a character from ''Touhou'', 1.0.9 included the Perfect Freeze as an allusion to that character and a second ''Mega Man 5'' Wily Castle theme that combines the original theme with Cirno's theme. Version 1.7 sees the addition of another weapon inspired by ''Smash Bros.'' in the form of Command Selection.

** As of Version 1.7.4, the number of levels you can upload online is ''100''. If you want to upload more, you have to delete an old level. This cap doesn't apply to levels that are offline and/or downloaded, however, and levels can always be shared manually through other means. Previously, the limits were 10, 20, 30, 50, and 75.

** Break Dash from ''VideoGame/MegaManV'' grants the player brief MercyInvincibilty period in order to avoid CollisionDamage more efficiently.

* AscendedExtra: Dr. Wily goes from simply being apart of the game's tutorial to returning as a proper boss alongside his Wily Machines in the 1.8 update.

** Atomic Fire and Pharaoh Shot, already chargeable weapons, appear here, as do the Power Adapter, the Super Adapter, the Wild Coil, and the Noise Crush as well as the Magma Bazooka.

* MercyInvincibility: Happens after taking a hit from damage sources. Centaur Flash will also give the player it too on top of stopping time for a moment.

* MegamixGame: ''Mega Man Maker'' contains many, ''many'', '''''many''''' assets from 1 to 11, and even spin-offs like ''Powered Up'' and ''The Wily Wars'', enabling players to create or re-create/imagine levels as they desire.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The bigger the level, the longer it takes to load. Even in the builder, where the game periodically autosaves, if your level is big enough the autosave can even make it look like the game froze for several seconds (or even minutes if, for example, the level is a lengthy {{metroidvania}}). [[spoiler:Version 1.8 is promised to rectify this.]]

Version 1.8 had proven itself to be a massive update. Aside from introducing aesthetical assets, weapons and gimmicks from ''Mega Man & Bass'', it does the same with Game Boy titles - while also bringing in long-rumored Wily Fortress bosses. It also significantly improves the experience when it comes to constructing - and playing - larger levels. So far, 1.8 is taking the longest time to develop, but [[https://twitter.com/MegaManMaker/status/1591576973952045057?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet the release date had finally been announced for November 25, 2022.]]

** The chaotic "free for all": multiple bosses placed in the single room. [[note]]Several Robot Masters - Freeze Man, Spring Man and Time Man in particular - put an interesting spin on this. Due to their AI patterns, they will overlap with one another and sync up their actions, thus giving the players a neat way to fight a single boss with multiple life bars rather comfortably.[[/note]]

** For tanks, one can only have 9 E-Tanks and W-Tanks each as well as 1 M-Tank.

** Since the release of 1.7, the Keys underwent a drastic change: the initial count of 7 Keys was changed to a whopping ''99''. And that's not counting possible color options, which increase the total amount of keys to '''396'''! As for the Key Doors, they can consume up to 9 Keys of the particular color.
** Following the multiple bosses feature, while it is technically possible to put more than ten bosses in the same screen, the played level will not recognize the eleventh boss. The count limit for bosses in the same level is 200.

** Colors are important for Astro Gates and Astro Buttons. An Astro Button can affect an Astro Gate of the same color. The Astro Reset Button is gray to make it clearer that it resets the Astro Gates to their original positions.

* BossRush: As of 1.5, you can now create your own boss rush in whatever way you like. It usually comes in three variants:
## The traditional and more widely common "teleporter room" allowing you to choose freely the order of bosses you want to tackle.
## The less known, "boss rooms" that comes between parts of a level in the same vein of ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManX1''.
## The chaotic "free for all" where you fight more than one or, sometimes, more often than not, '''''all bosses at once'''''.

** Thunder Wool from ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' has much wider range when the thunder strikes the ground and its wool/cloud won't fade away if it hits an enemy.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Super Arm creates blocks for you to throw with it, but if you're very reckless, especially when spawning blocks after jumping, you can get crushed by the same block you've created.

More details for upcoming Version 1.8 had been revealed in the [=5th=] Anniversary video. The major focus of this update is to add assets from ''Mega Man & Bass'', as well as significantly improve the experience when it comes to constructing - and playing - larger levels. So far, 1.8 is taking the longest time to develop, but the release window is confirmed for Autumn 2022.

** The flavor text for ''[=MM3=]'' Wily 1 Water states that "illegal mods" are now obsolete. This is an attack on the Transparent Water mod.

* SturgeonsLaw: This comes naturally with any level editor game — with both professionally-made levels and low-effort levels inhabiting the level browser. Try playing any of the newest levels and more often than not, they're not going to be well-made.

** Since the Wily Challenge uses random user-created levels, it is possible to find levels with diverse difficulty, which also includes SturgeonsLaw rearing its ugly head in here. Because each level is randomly picked, there's no telling what the next stage has in store for you. It becomes worse when set to Hard (the difficulty just adjusts your lives counter) and the length to Long. Thankfully, the levels can be skipped, but at the cost of one of your lives. So if you die to a hard level and decide to skip it, it will ultimately cost you two lives.

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Varies depending on how mean the level builder feels, but as a rule of thumb be ready for a boss fight or a DifficultySpike if you see free health and weapon refills.

* InstructiveLevelDesign: Most types of map are encouraged to do this lest they fall into GuideDangIt by someone who isn't all too familiar with a something, be an enemy, a level object, a gimmick, or even lack of knowledge of the special properties added to special weapons.
