The '''Falling Platform''' is a gimmick in the classic ''Mega Man'' series, introduced in ''[[Mega Man 2]]''. It is a platform suspended in the air that drops to the ground if too much weight is put on it.

The original ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level]]'' contest included two variants of Falling Platform: The Falling Platforms found in [[Bubble Man|Bubble Man's]] stage from the aforementioned ''Mega Man 2'', and the Falling Platforms found in [[Gyro Man|Gyro Man's]] stage from ''[[Mega Man 5]]''. Falling Platforms appeared in the entries [[Napalm Forest and Caves]], [[Maze of Death]], [[Spiky Meltdown]], and [[Glass Man (stage)|Glass Man]], as well as the Wily stages [[Be the Bigger Person]], [[Hall of Fame]], and [[Flashback Database]]. Glass Man uses a custom variant.

Both the ''Mega Man 2'' and ''Mega Man 5'' Falling Platforms returned in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]'', where they appeared in 9 entries, as well as the Wily stages [[Unobtainium Mine]] and [[Reality Core]], the [[Tier X (MaGMML2)|Tier X]] stages [[Goblins n' Ghasts]], [[Mario Land]], [[Deep Thoughts]] and [[Null and Void]], and the [[The Pit of Pits|Pit of Pits]] sub-levels "Epic Wrap Battle", "Glass Man?", "Ground Eater", "Hot Mess", "Overwater Atomsphere", and "Spiky Meltdown?". They also appeared in the ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 Judge Application Levels|Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 Judge Application Level]]'' [[Space Crusade]]. Goblins n' Ghasts, Mario Land, and Space Crusade have custom variants of Falling Platforms, and the custom Glass Man falling platforms return in "Glass Man?".

==Behavior==
Falling Platforms will simply float in the air at first. When [[Mega Man]] lands on one, it will fall shortly after. The ''Mega Man 2'' and ''Mega Man 5'' Falling Platforms take about the same amount of time before they fall. Glass Man platforms take longer to fall, while Mario Land platforms take less time to fall.
