Reason: Missing new 1.9.0 title screens

The title screen is the screen that appears after the copyright and splash screens but before the main menu in Mega Man Maker.

The visual and auditory design of the title screen has received multiple changes throughout the game's history. In its early versions, it looked like a series of internal circuits, but after 1.1.0, it was changed to adjust to the new title and to renew the visuals.

There is a title screen with an alternate palette that can be seen by typing "duwang" during the splash screen opening credits. If input correctly, the 1-up sound will play and the title screen will change to a color edit of the title screen with a brown background and purple and green tiles. There is also a special background for Christmas used in-game during the Christmas season that features a Christmas tree with presents.

Since 1.7.4, inputting "30XX" during the splash screen opening credits will replace the title screen, main menu, and online menu music with the menu music from 30XX. This was also how to unlock the 30XX menu music for use in levels, however 1.8.0 has the music unlocked by default.

1.9.0 added three additional title screen graphics and new music for the title screen, menu, and online menu that change depending on the system clock.

Time of day Color Start time End time Changes
Afternoon Blue 12 PM 6 PM Original
Evening Orange 6 PM 12 AM Lens flare is less severe, green blocks now dark purple, purple blocks now green
Night Black 12 AM 6 AM Moon instead of sun, clouds are black, green blocks now dark blue, gray spikes and purple blocks now orange
Morning Tangerine 6 AM 12 PM Orange and purple blocks more saturated

Mods also have the potential can also change the visual and auditory design of the title screen.

Trivia

  • The “duwang” easter egg refers to a nickname given to a translation of the fourth story arc of the Japanese manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure titled Diamond is Unbreakable while the sky color is a reference to the similarly colored yellow sky seen in the anime adaptation of the part.
  • The "duwang" title screen and the 30XX menu music will be replaced by the default title screen and menu music respectively if the player loads a level and returns to the main or online menu, or exits the game.
