"A rocket-powered Roader that charges at Mega Man and explodes on death."

―Note in Cannon Roader's code, Megamix Engine

Cannon Roader is an enemy from Mega Man V. It is a rocket-powered robot on one wheel, with the ability to charge towards enemies and explode.

Cannon Roader was first present in the Megamix Engine, and thus appeared in the devkits for every game built with it. Its MaGMML game debut was in Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level, but no entries used it. Instead, Cannon Roaders only appeared as one of Don Atetemino's enemy summons. Likewise, no Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 entries used it, but the enemy managed to appear in the NEO Pit of Pits sublevels "Bridge of Gyotots" and "Catherine Wheel".

Behavior

Cannon Roaders slowly roll across a strip of land, only turning for walls and edges, up until Mega Man gets close to them. Once he does, they will charge straight for him after a delay. If they hit a wall while charging, or if they're destroyed via means other than weapons that ignore death events (e.g. the Tornado Blow, Tengu Blade, and Black Hole Bomb), they release an explosion that can harm Mega Man. By hitting a wall and exploding, a Cannon Roader will not drop items.

Cannon Roader has two creation code variables:

• chargeSpeed - How quickly Cannon Roader moves when charging ahead.
• moveTimer - The time it takes for a Cannon Roader to charge at Mega Man.
