―Note in Cloud Platform's code, Megamix Engine

The Cloud Platform is a gimmick from Mega Man 2, found in Air Man's stage. It is a flying platform in the shape of a cloud, often used by Lightning Lords.

Cloud Platforms were first made available with the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, but didn't appear in any entry stages; only seeing use in the Pit of Pits sublevel "Clouded Judgement", and Null and Void. They returned in Make a Good 24 Hour Mega Man Level, and appeared in the Wily stage Abyss Balcony. Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered also used them in the remade Be the Bigger Person, albeit with a different design.

Behavior

Cloud Platforms travel in circles, while acting as top-solid platforms for entities. This means that they can be used as a means of transport for both Mega Man, and any other entity, such as their original riders, Lightning Lords.

By changing the value of "sinc" in creation code, a Cloud Platform's speed can be raised or lowered.

Trivia

• To distinguish it from the Cloud Platform gimmick from Mega Man 3, this Cloud Platform is named "objMM2CloudPlatform" in every devkit since its introduction.
