The Move Hover is a gimmick from Mega Man IV, found in Crystal Man's stage. It is a floating platform that can be knocked around by attacking it.

Move Hovers were introduced in the Megamix Engine, and as such were present in the devkits for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level.

Behavior

Move Hovers float in place, acting as solid platforms for entities. If Mega Man shoots a Move Hover, it will be pushed either left or right, depending on what side it was hit from. After recovering from the hit, it will slowly move back to its original position.

Move Hovers have two creation code variables:

• shiftTime - How long it takes for a Move Hover to move after being shot.
• shiftDist - The distance in pixels a Move Hover shifts with every shot.
