The '''Bell Ringer''' is an enemy from ''[[Mega Man 8]]'' and ''[[Mega Man & Bass]]'', originating from Clown Man's stage and Magic Man's stage. It will be featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' in version [[1.8.0]].

The enemy itself is a hammer-wielding robot near a bell. Once the bell is rung by the robot, [[Level Objects|level objects]] attached to the enemy will automatically be triggered. It is stationary as it was in ''Mega Man & Bass'' instead of entering and leaving doors like it did in Clown Man's stage.

There are six variations of Bell Ringer, each affecting different level objects:

* Magenta - rotates [[Rotating Spike Block|Rotating Spike Blocks]], as it did in Mega Man & Bass,
* Orange - extends [[Hornet Roll|Hornet Rolls]] and momentarily pauses [[Fire Wall|Fire Walls]],
* Yellow - activates [[Fuse Laser Crawler|Fuse Laser Crawlers/Turrets]] and [[Ring Platform|Ring/Coil Platforms]],
* Green - flips [[Spike Platform|Spike Platforms]] and [[Flip Platform|Flip Platforms]],
* Blue - increases the [[Water Level Changer|water level]] and strength of the [[Rain]],
* Pink - rotates [[Punch Block|Punch Blocks]] and opens/closes [[Plantform|Plantforms]].

The interval between each ring can be set between 2 and 9 seconds.

== Trivia ==
In a publicly showcased developer build of 1.8 from the update's Q&A livestream, the Bell Ringer's sound effect was not implemented despite being finalized. This resulted in the ''Taco Bell'' sound effect, the placeholder, playing every time the bell rang. (https://www.youtube.com/live/xwBP-fjcAz4?feature=share)
