SW-525 is an enemy from Mega Man 6. It is a modified Skull Walker that has the ability to both crawl on ceilings and explode, at the cost of its jumping abilities.
SW-525 was first made available in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2. It did not appear in any entries, but it appeared in the Pit of Pits sublevel "Once More, With Ceiling".
Although it returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, its usage remained as sparse as before, with its one appearance being the NEO Pit of Pits sublevel "Me and the Boys on a Saturday Night".
Behavior
SW-525s will run towards Mega Man. If one is upside down and directly-above him, it will drop down and position itself right side up. Likewise, if it is below Mega Man when he is facing upside-down because of a Gravity Flip, it will rise up and position itself upside-down. After about six seconds, the SW-525 stops, flashes briefly, and creates a damaging explosion. It does not explode like this if Mega Man destroys it himself.
SW-525s can be customized to start either upside-down or right side up by setting "startDir =" to one of two values in creation code (setting it to -1 or not including the startDir code at all will cause the SW-525 to start upside-down, while setting it to 1 will make the SW-525 start right side up).
