'''Yellow Devil''' is one of the fortress bosses in ''[[Mega Man 1|Mega Man]]'', originating from the first Wily stage. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' in version [[1.8.0]].

The boss splits itself in blobs that go from a side to another. Yellow Devil can be set to have its eye static or randomly appear in its body, to shoot or not to shoot, or how many bullets he shoots.

== Behavior ==

=== Intro ===
* If the ''Mega Man 1'' intro is selected, the Yellow Devil will fly in from the side of the screen in a pattern, stopping when he reaches his position in the [[Level Builder|editor]]. Getting hit by the pieces will cause the player to take damage.
* If the ''Mega Man Maker'' intro is selected, it will instead form from the top of the screen. Note that while this will normally happen apart from the player: if the player has free movement from exiting a teleporter, this can still damage them. This does not happen if the player is frozen in place.

=== Attacking ===
* After forming, the Yellow Devil will open his eye and fire projectiles at the player. The position will either be random or in a set location depending on what is selected in the editor. This eye is the only weak point of the boss, and must be hit to deal damage. The Yellow Devil will fire between one and nine projectiles depending on its settings.

=== Splitting ===
* Once the Yellow Devil has fired his projectiles, he will close his eye and split apart piece by piece. The pattern for the split is always the same, and can be learned to effectively avoid it. Each piece will move to a position set in the editor. Getting hit by any piece will deal damage. Once he has reformed, he will open his eye and continue his attacking pattern.

== Trivia ==
{{SourceNeeded|Info that Yellow Devil had to be reprogrammed twice}}
* According to [[Luigi]] in the 1.8 reveal livestream, Yellow Devil had to be programmed twice due to an error occurring while saving its files.<sup>[source needed]</sup>
* Prior to version [[1.8.4]], the Yellow Devil had a grayed-out option when used in the editor with five available attack patterns: ''MM1'', A1, A2, P3, and P4. According to Luigi, this was for alternate patterns during his splitting phase that was not finished in time for 1.8's release.<ref>[https://youtu.be/xwBP-fjcAz4?t=3010 Mega Man Maker 1.8 trailer reveal and Q&A!] by Mega Man Maker on YouTube, timestamp 50:10</ref>
* The ''Mega Man Maker'' pattern for Yellow Devil's intro is similar to how he appears on the Wily Castle stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
