The Conveyor is a gimmick in the classic Mega Man series, debuting in Mega Man 2 and appearing in several more games since. While their specific appearance varies by game (and sometimes even by level), they all share the function of moving Mega Man in a certain direction.
The original Make a Good Mega Man Level contest included two variants of conveyor: The conveyors from the aforementioned Mega Man 2, and the conveyors from the first Wily stage of Mega Man 5 (often known as Wheel Conveyors). Conveyors appeared in the entries The Quickening, Chroma Key, Sunset Siege, Napalm Forest and Caves, and Maze of Death, as well as the Wily stages Be the Bigger Person and the Final Stage.
Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 brought back the Mega Man 2 conveyor, and replaced the Mega Man 5 "Wheel Conveyor" with conveyors from Knight Man's stage from Mega Man 6. Conveyors appeared in 10 entries, with City Under Siege including conveyors from the revisited Spark Man stage from Mega Man 3, and Cyber Man including custom conveyors. Conveyors also appeared in the Wily stage Reality Core, the Tier X levels Mario Land and Null and Void (with the former including both Mega Man 2 conveyors and custom diagonal conveyors based on Super Mario World), and the Pit of Pits stages "Deja Vu" and "What a rush!".
The Megamix Engine includes all three prior devkit conveyors, as well as a new conveyor from Compass Man's stage from Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha. The four types of conveyors are set to appear as devkit assets for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level.
Behavior
When Mega Man is standing on a conveyor, it will move him in whatever direction it's facing. Most conveyors are strictly horizontal, but the Super Mario World conveyors from Mario Land are diagonal.
