Penpen EV is a penguin-like robot enemy that appeared in Mega Man 8, introduced in Mega Man Makers 1.5.0 update. Penpen EV is an upgraded version of the Penpens from Mega Man 3. It also reappears in Cold Man's stage in Mega Man & Bass.
Level Builder
Penpen EV is on the 5th layer (Main elements) in the Level Builder. It has no options to select from as the enemy always attacks in the player's direction.
Behavior
This enemy sits in place spinning slowly. When receiving attacks that do not destroy a Penpen EV, it is pushed and can bounce off the terrain: the stronger the attacks and the more it is attacked before being destroyed, the faster it will be pushed.
Once stationary for about two seconds, it prepares to slide in the player's direction by lying over its belly and preparing its rocket. During this time and while it slides, the player cannot push the Penpen EV with their weapons. When the rocket pushes it, the Penpen EV slides quickly while gradually slowing down for about four seconds. The Penpen EV can still be shot with frontal projectiles if the player and the Penpen EV are at the same height while it is sliding. Additionally, it can pass through one-tile high small corridors, like Mega Man can during the Slide. When colliding with walls, a Penpen EV bounces off it and is pushed in the opposite direction. If it has not been despawned and remains stationary after it completes its sliding attack, it will return to the spinning position and repeat its attack pattern.
It is affected by gravity and can fall off terrain. A Penpen EV can also collide with another Penpen EV as long as it is not about to slide, while a sliding Penpen EV will accelerate a stationary Penpen EV upon collision.
Trivia
- The Penpen EV in Mega Man & Bass acts exactly like in Mega Man 8 except that the player's projectiles no longer push it.
- In Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass, if Mega Man and a Penpen EV are at the same terrain level, Mega Man cannot shoot an uncharged Mega Buster at a Penpen EV while it is sliding or preparing to slide as the uncharged projectile in those games are too small and too high to reach them. However, he can shoot them frontally in Mega Man Maker at those moments.
- The description for Penpen EV mentions the Roader enemy, likely referring to the Twin Roader that also spins in place before attacking the player.
