Revision as of 20:13, 22 November 2017
The Pit of Pits is a bonus area in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 that can be accessed after the player has cleared the Wily Star II. It can be found in the main hub between Tier 8 and Tier 9, though attempting to access it before unlocking it will will leave you with little more than a Picketman, who informs the player that he and his cohorts are working on its construction under their sponsor, Galaxy Man. It is comprised of 120 mini-stages created by contest entrants and judges, and plays somewhat similarly to the Endless Attack mode in Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10, with the key difference that all stage elements that would normally result in instant death have been toned down: Force Beams now do continuous damage similar to those seen in The Quickening II, spikes do 7 damage on contact, and while falling into a pit or being crushed deals 3 damage and sends the player back to the start of the mini-stage.
The player cannot take E-Tanks and collectable Bolts inside the Pit with them; the two have separate counts while inside. However, they will be returned again if the player leaves in any fashion. This rule does not apply to the M-Tank, however. Additionally, the player is barred from taking Super Mode inside until they've cleared the Pit for the first time.
Once the player has cleared the Pit for the first time, Galaxy Man will offer the player to visit any of the sub-levels independently at their own whim, however, if the player wishes to rematch him, they must go through the Pit again or use the Boss Gallery teleporter in the Dojo to do so.

Forgotten Fortress

Fragile Tower

Limited Attrition
By Flashman85. A nighttime city level with no pits, spikes, or gimmicks; the player must face a series of Dachone Ltd. Ed. enemies. This level was created to give this enemy type a chance to shine, as its lone appearance in Mega Man 6 is extremely brief. A Mystery Tank is found at the start of the level, and a large weapon and health refill are just beyond the exit teleporter.
Logan's Runner
By Z-Saber. This is an autoscrolling segment over a lot of various tilesets. This one contains both an E-tank and a Yashichi.
Lyrickrolled
By Flashman85. Swarms of Lyrics attack the player and drop other enemies of various types when destroyed. The level was created to harness the absurd potential of the devkit allowing enemies to drop specific objects when destroyed, and the name of the level is a portmanteau referencing Rickrolling. One strategy is to advance slowly, carefully destroying one enemy at a time to avoid being overrun. A faster and potentially safer strategy is the pacifist route: without firing a shot, dodge the Lyrics by using the platforms along the top of the screen to stay out of their way as often as possible. A large health refill is available at the beginning, and one of the Lyrics at the end drops a Yashichi as a form of apology for all the nonsense you just put up with.
Magic Crash-Pit Ride

By notencore. As its name implies, it is inspired by the MaGMML1 entry of a similar name.
Mook Rush
By NaOH.
Mt. Furioso
By Strife.
My Cool New Boss Fight
By SnoruntPyro. It features several battles against Volt Man (although all of them can actually be ignored, as they don't block access to the next screen / teleporter).
Nice Rompy Cutman Level
By Entity1037.
Nice Rompy Spike Fall
By Entity1037. This stage is actually identical to the spike fall in Entity1037's submission level, The Stage Nobody Asked For, it's just re-skinned to look similar to the spike drop from Wily 3 in Mega Man 2.
Night of Semiramis
By SnoruntPyro.
Night Way
By TheMegaFan19XX.
No Room to Breathe
By BBLIR.
No Time To Waste
By Zieldak.
Obscure Gameboy Gimmick
By SnoruntPyro.
Ocean Sickness
By Flashman85. A level where the top portion is above water and features scrolling walls, and where the bottom portion is underwater and features a fight with Splash Woman and challenges involving water spouts. The level was originally intended to focus exclusively on challenges with scrolling walls, but due to technical issues with many room configurations not working properly, most of the level had to be redesigned. A water theme ties together the surviving scrolling challenges with a few other elements that have been similarly underutilized in MaGMML2 and the official Mega Man games. The level title is a play on "motion sickness," narrowly beating out the title "Motion in the Ocean."
Once More, With Ceiling
By Flashman85. A series of seemingly unrelated challenges, which find new life when the player unexpectedly ends up on the ceiling (after a potentially heart-stopping brush with death, because Flashman85 delights in causing panic where there's little or no danger) and must travel back to the start of the level in reverse. As with most of Flashman85's pit levels, the asset selection deliberately includes some of the most underutilized enemies in the game. The level title is a play on the phrase "once more, with feeling."
Over The Pit
By Zieldak.
Overwater Atmosphere

Spiky Meltdown?
By Zieldak. As its name implies, it is inspired by the MaGMML1 entry of the same name.
Spinning Top Disposal Room

By Schmidkalkan.
Stormy Ascent
By Cruise Elroy.
The Pit Stage Nobody Asked For

You know the Drill.
By TheSkipper1995.
Special Stages
Galaxy Man's Lemonade Stand
Upon the clearing of every tenth mini-stage, the player will be sent to Galaxy Man's Lemonade Stand, a shop within the Pit of Pits where players can buy health, energy, and passive upgrades to make the remaining mini-stages easier. All items from this are always available for sale:
- Health [10 Bolts] - Restores 5 energy.
- Energy [15 Bolts] - Restores 5 Weapon energy in all weapons.
- E-Tank [150 Bolts] - Energy Tank.
In addition, Galaxy Man will randomly select two (Or sometimes three) of the following items to sell each visit:
- Eddie [40 Bolts] - Eddie appears every other level instead of every 5.
- M-Tank [180 Bolts] - M-Tank.
- Parachute [30 Bolts] - Pits deal 2 damage instead of 3.
- Spike [60 Bolts] Spikes deal 5 damage instead of 7.
- Joe Helmet [50 Bolts] - Any Joe-Type enemy has less health.
- Skull [100 Bolts] - Bosses have less health.
- Grab Buster [81 Bolts] - Grab Buster heals you an extra hit point.
- ?-Tank [100 Bolts] - I'm ripping you off. [All following visits to Galaxy Man's Lemonade Stand will contain a ?-Tank.]
??????????
This room only appears at the end of the Pit of Pits, after clearing all 120 mini-stages. Aside from the two E-Tanks resting on a ledge towards the top of the screen, it is a completely featureless room. Proceeding to the right in this room prompts a short dialogue with, followed by the boss battle against, Galaxy Man.
