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.
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:
Icon | Weapon type | Weather | Effect | Appearance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Electric | Clear | The current weather effect is cleared and no special weather effects take place. | Upright | |
Other | Rain | Rain falls across the screen, dousing fires. However, unlike the Rain level object, the player's movement is not affected. A Tel Tel's rain effect also overrides the Rain level object's effects. | Upside down | |
Ice | Snow | Invisible tiles, spikes, ladders, and semisolids will all become frozen, taking a peach color. Frozen invisible spikes can also be stood on safely during this time. Lava remains frozen and cannot be unfrozen. | Panels expand and contract as the Tel Tel remains upright | |
Fire | Heat | A heating effect appears above tiles. Standing on tiles for two seconds in total damages the player for 2 health each time, while any water that the player stands in will heal their health by 1 every two seconds in water. Tiles with the ice effect are immune to heating. Any ice objects are melted and invisibles tiles, ladders, spikes, and semisolids are revealed. | Periodically shoots fire out of its sides while it wears a helmet resembling that of Heat Man | |
Wind | Wind | Wind blows vertically across the screen, increasing the player's jump height. | Wears a helmet similar to that of Tornado Man: a small persistent gust blows below the Tel Tel as blades spin by its center portion |
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.

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.
