Astro Gate (also known as Astro Door in the game's files) is a Level Object that debuted in Mega Man 8 Astro Man's stage and was added to Mega Man Maker in version 1.5.0. The custom horizontal variant and four additional color variants (purple, yellow, pink, cyan) of the Astro Gate were later added in Mega Man Maker version 1.8.0 with additional speed options added in 1.8.4.
Level Builder
Vertical and horizontal Astro Gates are listed as separate assets in the Level Builder. Both horizontal and vertical Astro Gates can come in one of eight colors (red, green, blue, orange, purple, yellow, pink, and cyan) with red the default color.
An Astro Gate can be set to one of four speed options with the default being the third fastest speed option.
Behavior
Astro Gates are large gates that can be moved by hitting an Astro Button that matches a given gate color. Once an Astro Button is hit, Astro Gates that match the Astro Button's color will move location either horizontally or vertically depending on the orientation of the gate. An Astro Gate in motion will move until it hits a solid surface, or if no surface is in its way, will move off screen potentially de-spawning the gate. Hitting a gray-colored Astro Reset Button will return an Astro Gate that has moved back to its starting position.

Astro Button is a solid, small level object that moves Astro Gate if the player is standing on them. Like the Astro Gates, it comes from the puzzle maze sections of Astro Man's level in Mega Man 8.
Behavior
The Astro Buttons have eight color options: red, green, blue, orange, purple, yellow, pink, and cyan. When the button is pressed it will move any Astro Gates of the same color as the button.
If the Astro Button is pressed and its corresponding gate is off screen it will begin to move as soon as the screen transitions: off screen gates will not move until the screen transition has taken place. Astro Buttons must be on screen to be used and off screen buttons will not trigger until they are scrolled into view. Heavy objects like Push Blocks, Moliers, Crunch Don's Hammers, or Bari III's heads can press Astro Buttons.
If the player jumps over Astro Buttons while time is stopped they will still be pressed, although Astro Gates will only start to move when the effect stops.
Astro Reset Button
The Astro Reset Button is a grey variant of the Astro Button that when pressed resets all gates back to their original position. Just like regular buttons, affected gates will not reset until the screen is transitioned onto.
Trivia
- Astro Buttons can be used for rudimentary binary functions: for example, in the levels 433091 - Binary Puzzle or 515847 - You Have To Hit The Button At Least 256 Times.
- Astro Reset Buttons can be used with Bari III Heads to create instant buttons that have an immediate 0 frame reset which can be seen in the level 519259 - Trust - An Escalating Series.
