Flower Presenter debuted in version 1.5.0 of Mega Man Maker.

Level Builder

The Flower Presenter is designated to the 5th layer, along with tiles and most level objects. As for customization options, the "color" of the Flower Presenter can be changed, which, in reality, changes the type of mechanical flower held inside of the flowerpot (which is also fired off as a projectile). The colors are as follows:

• Tan/Apricot for a more traditional, 8-petaled flower.
• Reddish brown for a sharp, three pronged flower.
• Green for a large cactus.

The choice of flora has no effect on the Flower Presenter's behavior, stats, or properties.

Behavior

After spawning on, the Flower Presenter will sit idly in one position - that is, until the player enters a range of around 6 tiles on the horizontal axis away from the Flower Presenter in question. Once the player encroaches upon the Flower Presenter's territory, it will fire the plant sitting inside of its pot as a homing missile, which will sharply turn towards the player's position in one of eight different directions - the four cardinal directions, as well as the diagonals - at frequent intervals. This homing projectile can freely move through tiles, and can be destroyed with the player's own weapons. After a set amount of time, if the homing projectile fails to come into contact with and damage the player, it will implode. During the missile's pursuit, the Flower Presenter will begin to grow another, firing it off right as its initial projectile would implode. If the player exits the Flower Presenter's detection range of 6 tiles, it will refrain from firing.

Trivia

• The Flower Presenter's three flowers are each based on specific species of real world flower, and each variety of Flower Presenter is named slightly differently after their contents.
  • The Tan/Apricot Flower Presenter is known as the Flower Presenter M, and it fires off a Margherita, otherwise known as a Paris Daisy.
  • The Reddish brown Flower Presenter is known as the Flower Presenter T, and it fires off a Tulip - a type of flower rather well regarded for its wide variety of colors and species.
    • Furthermore, the Flower Presenter's Tulip slightly resembles the Fire Flower from the Super Mario series, or rather its depiction in Super Mario World.
  • The Green Flower Presenter is known as the Flower Presenter C, and it fires off a large cactus - specifically based on the variety known as the Saguaro, recognized for its "branches" or arms.
