"A simple destructible block"

―Note in Dustman Block's code, Megamix Engine

The Dustman Block is a gimmick from Mega Man 4, found in (believe it or not) Dust Man's stage. It is a small cube of scrap that is used in great quantities to form crude barriers.

Dustman Blocks were first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level, and appeared in Mega Man World (albeit resprited). They also appeared (unmodified) in the Wily stage Dr. Wily's Incinerator Chute.

Dustman Blocks returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, and were used in the entries Chomp Man, AD 2101, Escape Sequence, and Sector Upsilon 6, as well as the Wily stage Inner Sanctum. They also saw use in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero, in the stages Scorched Factory, Shift Posting, and Null and Void.

Behavior

Dustman Blocks do nothing but sit in place. Mega Man can safely stand on them, but their primary function is to be destroyed by his weapons. Large groups of them can be quickly destroyed with a Charge Shot or weapons with piercing capability, such as the Laser Trident. Meanwhile, the Super Arm can pick them up and use them as ammunition.
