Backgrounds

This article is missing important information to be considered complete. You can expand on it by adding content to this page. Reason: Missing backgrounds from 1.8.0 onwards including ones from Mega Man & Bass and the Game Boy games

Backgrounds are a set of graphics that can be placed behind tiles and other game objects in Mega Man Maker. Each screen can only have 1 background, though the colors of certain parts of some backgrounds can be changed via the background color setting. Unlike the first 6 Mega Man games they are not made out of smaller tiles, which makes them much easier to place.

Backgrounds have a size of 256x224.

Error handler

This article is missing important information to be considered complete. You can expand on it by adding content to this page. Reason: More information

Icon	Name	Description	Version
	Undefined	No description available.	1.0.0

The "Undefined" icon is used when an asset fails to load for whatever reason, most commonly when an asset has not been listed in the gml_Script_initCategoryNAME script where "NAME" is the name of the category. Although the asset's icon appears as normal in the Level Builder, when placed in the Level Builder the asset itself appears as a 1x1 tile with a white border and a translucent background. When a background is placed in the Level Builder, this tile appears in the top left corner of a screen.

The error handler was accidentally made manually accessible by selecting Wily 2 BG 2 from Mega Man 3 in 1.6.1, but was fixed and made unavailable again in 1.6.1.1.

Trivia

• There are unused versions of Wily 2 BG, Junk BG, and Junk BG 2 and a completely unused Time BG 2 background. They can be used by text editing a .MMLV level file, making them unused content that still works.
• Prior to version 1.8.0, the only Robot Master boss without a background in Mega Man Maker was Air Man from Mega Man 2, presumably because the clouds originally found in his stage are not backgrounds and instead work as foreground elements that hinder the player's sight. However, with version 1.8.0 adding content from the Game Boy games, specifically Air BG from Mega Man II, this is no longer the case.
• Although Search Man's stage was originally located in Congo, Africa, the Level Builder description for Search BG and Search BG 2 erroneously refer to the Amazon jungle, which is located in South America.
• Prior to version 1.7.0, Strike BG 6's description was "How many pluses you can find? Submit your answer and win a great prize!". The description was updated in the version to congratulate the user MM2WilySt2 who counted 6974 pluses.
