- "This needle keeps popping in and out on an interval. Rotate it in the editor for the multiple directions. It works with all directions."
- ―Note in Needle Press's code, Megamix Engine
The Needle Press is a gimmick from Mega Man 3, found in Needle Man's stage. It is a retractable needle trap that's sensor activated.
Needle Presses were first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level, where it appeared in the entries Wily Combo, Under Construction, and Maze of Death, as well as in the Wily stages SnoruntPyro's Stage and the Final Stage.
Needle Presses returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, appearing in the entries Quint Stage, Spiky Situation, and Launch Man & Shuttle Man, as well as the Wily Star II stage Reality Core.
Behavior
Needle Presses retract and expand at regular intervals, damaging Mega Man if he touches them while they're not fully retracted. By default, they expand to the right, but they are able to be flipped and rotated in the editor to face in any direction. Needle Presses are completely immune to all damage-dealing weapons.
Trivia
- In all devkits it is included in, Needle Press is named "objNeedleManNeedle".
