Low Gravity is a gimmick in Mega Man 5, found in Star Man's stage. It lowers the gravity of an entire level, allowing for higher jumps.
Low Gravity was first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level. Although no entry stages used it, it was used in the Final Stage for the battle against Zero, as well as Zero Soul in The Arena.
Low Gravity returned in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, and was only used in the entry Guts Man's Asteroid (though this was merely a custom object).
Behavior
When placed in a stage, Low Gravity will permanently alter Mega Man's gravity for the duration of the level. By default, it lowers his gravity (allowing him to jump hgher as if he were in water), but by changing the value of the gravitySet variable, it can be lowered further or even increased (giving him smaller jumps).
