The Dark Room is a gimmick in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, found in the entry The Dampening. It is a room completely shrouded in darkness, with only a small circle of light around specific objects to light the way.

Behavior

Upon entering a Dark Room, the area will be covered in pitch-black darkness, obscuring terrain. However, both Mega Man and enemies will be surrounded with a circle of light, allowing for at least some level of visibility.

Notes

  • A similar dark room gimmick exists in Dynamo Man's stage in Mega Man & Bass, though Mega Man doesn't radiate light and must rely on moving balls of light to see.
  • Due to a bug, the darkness will vanish entirely in certain rooms if Mega Man goes to the edge of the screen and remains there.
