Steam is a Level Object that was first seen in Mega Man 5 and added to Mega Man Maker in version 1.7.0.

Level Builder

Steam is a hazard represented by a sprite that appears as a dark fissure/crack, which can be placed on tiles and upon other collision featuring Level Objects in the Editor.

Once placed in the Level Builder a Steam Object can be situated to emit in one of four different directions; additionally the Steam Object has the option of customizing the duration of which it produces the hazardous steam emission.

Behavior

Once ingame the crack will emit intermittent bursts of steam a short distance from it whenever the player is near, and if the steam burst comes in contact it will damage the player.

Interactivity

Steam consists of being both a water type and heat type of Level Object. As such it offers various interactivity functions in Mega Man Maker such as extinguishing ignited Oil, lowering Chemical Solution acidity or heating Hotplates.

Trivia

• Steam is special in its functionality as a Level Object in that it can be directly combined within other collision based Level Objects in Mega Man Maker.
• When first introduced Steam had two slots in the Editor, one for vertical Steam and the other for horizontal Steam. Mega Man Maker version 1.10.0 combined both vertical and horizontal versions into a single slot.
