―Kamikamin, Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level

Kamikamin (also known as Sakkaku-Kamikamin) is a member of the Box Cartel and one of the major antagonists of Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. Distinguished from other Kamikamins by the skull on top of his lid, he is a "Hidden Arts Yakuza" with ninja-like techniques, which he uses in his role as a reconnaissance agent. Although he puts on a tough and unfettered facade, he is easily intimidated and prone to mumbling out loud.

Kamikamin is the first Box Cartel agent Mega Man must fight, and is located in Tier 2 of the SS Elroy after collecting 15 Energy Elements. He reappears later on to rescue his friend Dockalocker after his own battle with Mega Man, and also appears in intermissions with the rest of the Box Cartel. Later, in Pandora's Parlor, Kamikamin acts as the first Cartel member Mega Man must rematch.

Battle

Kamikamin uses one of five attacks, each chosen in a semi-random order. However, he will never use the same attack twice in a row:

• A coin flies out of his mouth, which splits into nine anti-gravity coins that drop towards Mega Man one by one.
• He fires a large spark in the air, before jumping after Mega Man five times. The spark splits into two ground-crawling sparks on impact with the floor, and both sparks drop downwards when Mega Man is beneath them.
• He shoots a cannonball offscreen, before vomiting a series of gems in an arc at Mega Man twice. The cannonball rolls to the other side of the screen in the background, before returning to the foreground to damage Mega Man.
• He jumps after Mega Man three times, each time shooting a bomb encased in a bubble. These bombs float towards Mega Man while drifting downwards, and emit a spherical explosion after hitting the ground.
• He jumps across the room and upchucks two cracked CDs, which drop to the ground and shatter into a four-way spreadshot of shrapnel.

Trivia

• The "sakkaku" in Kamikamin's nickname can mean "illusion" in Japanese, befitting his ninja techniques.
• Kamikamin's portrait shows the skull on his lid jutting out far more than either his in-game sprite or official art.
• Originally, Kamikamin was conceived as a scrap-eating glutton who believed Dr. Wily was personally feeding him broken machines he threw away. His dialogue before his refight in Pandora's Parlor is the only remnant of this abandoned characterization.
• Early designs for Kamikamin gave him more of a pirate motif, including a beard and a skull-emblazoned tricorne.
• He was forced to eat cement when he was 6.
