Spring Man Tech
Spring Man Tech is a level type in Mega Man Maker where the level is a long flat connected segment with at least one Spring Man pulling the player towards itself with its electromagnetic attack. Spring Man is unique in that his electromagnetic attack that pulls the player closer will compound with the more Spring Men that are in an electrocuted state.
Spring Man Tech levels are often associated with kaizo levels because of their difficulty; however, the level type differs greatly from kaizo: kaizo levels are often about tight maneuvers and weapon knowledge whereas Spring Man Tech are about speed and reflexes.
Setup
The setup for a Spring Man Tech is to start the level with one or more Spring Man starting on an electric surface. The player will then enter a teleporter which would lead the player to a different screen on the same x-axis as the bosses although far away.
As long as all the screens are connected with no hard transitions, the Spring Man setup will work consistently to pull the player the entirety of the level.
Once there are more than six Spring Man active, tthe player can no longer been seen on screen. Levels often utilize sound cues from a Key, Yashichi or other items to inform the player to perform jump, slide, dash, use a weapon, or perform other actions.
Spring Man Tech levels can also be built using the Magnetic Coil added in version 1.8.0.
