The Kanigance is a giant enemy crab and miniboss originating from Mega Man 7, where it appeared in Burst Man's stage, as well as the third level of the Wily Castle. It is armed with a set of large, mechanical claws with built-in cannons for firing bursts of plasma, and its nozzle is capable of blowing bubbles through the use a special chemical solution.
Kanigance debuted in version 1.10.0 of Mega Man Maker.
Level Builder
Other than the default purple-yellow option, Kanigance has three additional color variants in the Level Builder: green-cyan, red-blue, and yellow-gray.
Behavior
In its default state, the Kanigance has very limited mobility, and will walk back and forth a distance of approximately one tile. After moving, it will be prompted to attack by firing a volley of three plasma bolts consecutively - either straight forward or diagonally upwards, depending on the player's position. It will then return to its initial position, and spit out a trio of bubbles in a spread-out formation. These bubbles will explode upon contact with a wall (or if they are manually popped by the player's weapons), splitting into a pair of smaller bubbles, which are flung towards the player's position similarly to the explosive shrapnel of a Jet Bomb. These smaller bubbles will also pop upon contact with a wall, or if they are damaged.
As the Kanigance is damaged, it will begin to overheat, with its color subtly changing in the process. As it starts to overheat, it will incorporate a new attack into its pattern - floating upwards and charging straight forward with the propulsion of its powerful thruster. The player can slide, Charge Kick, or roll directly underneath the Kanigance as it charges. After crashing into the wall, the Kanigance will fall to the ground, leaving itself completely vulnerable to attack. After recovering, it will jump backwards, in an attempt to return to its initial position.
Once the Kanigance is destroyed, it will increase the acidity of any Burst Water and Chemical Solution it is exposed to.
The Kanigance is also considered a miniboss, and as such, its presence in a room will lock any Boss Doors in the vicinity. It must be destroyed for the doors to be unlocked.
Trivia
- The Kanigance is one of the few assets seemingly unaffected by Burst Water's color filter.
- As 1.10.0 is focusing on adding assets as per the choice of members of the development team, Kanigance was chosen by Chombey and TheButcherKevin to be added for the update.
