The Oil Canister is a large tank of oil, and a level object that originally appeared in Mega Man Powered Up, as a hallmark gimmick of Oil Man's stage.
It debuted in version 1.10.0 of Mega Man Maker.
Level Builder
An Oil Canister is one tile wide and two tiles high when placed in the Level Builder. Stacking one over another makes it auto-tile with the tiles above so it looks like a higher canister.
Oil Canisters can be set to have a purple palette and oil texture that resemble the Oil from Mega Man 6. Oil Canisters of different colors cannot auto-tile when stacked one above the other.
Behavior
The Oil Canister is a solid object (and thus, capable of blocking the player's or most enemies' movement) that can, seemingly, be set to any vertical height. The Oil Canister will deflect some weapons, such as Mega Buster, preventing any projectiles from passing through it - however, if it is struck by a fire-based weapon, such as Fire Storm; a fire-based level object; or a fire projectile by a boss, it will explode. The explosion from an Oil Canister is capable of setting off other level objects such as Blast Explosives or Explosive Crates.
Trivia
- The Oil Canister is extremely similar to another level object - the Ice Barrier - but with two crucial differences. For one, the Ice Barrier does not deflect projectiles, and secondly, the Oil Canister will destroy a fire-based projectile on contact in its explosion, while they will merely melt and pass through an Ice Barrier without issue.
