'''Tel Tel''' is a sky blue doll-like weather-changing robot from Cloud Man's stage in ''[[Mega Man 7]]'' that is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' since version [[1.9.0]].

==Behavior==
When a Tel Tel is spawned in, one of six weather effects will take effect depending on the option set in the [[Level Builder]]: nothing, clear, heat, wind, rain, or snow. A Tel Tel may either be present on screen or invisible (indicated by a white outline in the Level Builder); if the former option is selected, after changing the weather for the first time, a Tel Tel can either be set to remain on screen, floating up and down in place and facing the [[player]], or drop down below the screen. The current weather effect continues even across screens transitions.

If there are multiple Tel Tels placed on a screen, the Tel Tel that is leftmost and topmost will have its weather take priority unless there is a Tel Tel on the bottom half of the screen for which the bottommost Tel Tel's weather effect takes priority instead.

When shot at by the player, a Tel Tel will change the weather to one of five weather conditions depending on the type of [[weapon]] used:

A cyan [[Bell Ringer]] will cycle through a Tel Tel's weather with each ring in the following order: wind, clear, rain, snow, and heat. Projectiles reflected by the [[player]]'s weapons such as [[Mirror Buster]] and certain [[level objects]] such as [[Icicle]]s will always transform a Tel Tel to the rain weather.

==Tel Tel Fountain==
The '''Tel Tel Fountain''' is a fountain that can heal the [[player]] while Tel Tel is in the heat status and the player is in contact with its water. In this case, the red bar due to heat damage accumulating quickly descends and a blue bar appears inside of the HP bar that quickly grows. When it fully ascends, the player heals by one point.

Much like normal water, a Tel Tel Fountain's water will extend beneath it until it reaches solid ground. A Tel Tel Fountain is also affected by gravity and heals the player much quicker than regular water.

==Invisible level objects==
When the [[player]] approaches these objects, a circular invisible outline appears that makes them visible. These objects are also always visible when the weather is snow or heat with invisible spikes being safe to stand on for the player when the weather is snow.

==Trivia==
*The heal sound effect when the player regains health while in water during the heat weather is the same sound effect as when the player uses Heal through the [[Command Selection]] menu.
*In Cloud Man's stage in ''Mega Man 7'', the first Tel Tel in the stage changes to the rain weather regardless of which [[weapon]] it was hit by. However, the second Tel Tel changes to the snow weather when hit by [[Freeze Cracker]].
