The '''Maze Warp''' is a generic gimmick in the ''Make a Good Mega Man Level series''. It is a device that can change the location of the camera and take [[Mega Man]] to another screen, allowing for the creation of infinitely-looping mazes and non-Euclidean level layouts.

Maze Warps first appeared in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 2]]'', and were created as a custom gimmick for the stage [[Cyber Man (stage)|Cyber Man]]. They went on to be used in [[Null and Void (MaGMML2)|Null and Void]], in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered]]'' for the remake of [[Be the Bigger Person]], and in the ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero]]'' stages [[Defeat the Giant Spear Man!]], [[Metropolitan Neapolitan]], [[Stormy Spire]], and [[Code Landfill]].

Following ''MaGMML2'', Maze Warps were included with the [[Megamix Engine]] as a devkit asset for ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3]]'' and ''[[Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level]]''.

==Behavior==
Maze Warps are an advanced object that can be difficult to set up. When placed in the upper-left corner of a screen, they will instantly take Mega Man and the camera to a new screen as specified in creation code. They will not work while a screen transition is occuring, and so draw any tiles at the destination to seamlessly make it look like the transition naturally leads to the destination. This often requires creating an empty "junk screen" that exists just for the Maze Warp.

Maze Warps have the following creation code variables:
* camX - Determines the new x coordinate of the camera. This is intended to match the top-left corner of the destination screen.
* camY - Determines the new y coordinate of the camera. Like camX, this is intended to match the destination's top-left corner.
* tileCheckStart - The lowest number tile layer to check for.
* tileCheckEnd - The highest number tile layer to check for. The distance between this and tileCheckStart should be kept as low as possible to avoid long room load times.
* tileDistanceCheck - The distance between tiles to check; by default, this is set to 16.
