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.

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] - Weapon 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] - Joes have less health.
  • Skull [100 Bolts] - Bosses have less health.
  • Grab Buster [81 Bolts] - Grab Buster heals 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.
