The X Block is a gimmick from Mega Man 6, found in the fourth stage of Mr. X's Castle. It is a large, heavy block emblazoned with Mr. X's logo.

X Blocks were first made available in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, but they went completely unused in the final game. Its MaGMML game debut wouldn't come until Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero, which used them in the stage Hot Steps.

Behavior

X Blocks sit in place, and act as solid platforms for Mega Man. If no ground exists beneath an X Block, it will drop down. By using the Slash Claw or Break Dash on an X Block, it will be pushed in the opposite direction from where it was hit. In addition, the Super Arm can pick up X Blocks and throw them at enemies. By pushing X Blocks over their spawn points, Mega Man can stop Peats from spawning.

By using "pushList[#]" in creation code, an X Block can be pushed by other objects, such as the Mega Buster or enemy attacks.
