The Nitron is an floating, cyclopean enemy originating from Mega Man 3, appearing in both Gemini Man's stage and its corresponding Doc Robot revisit. It was designed with a powerful incendiary cannon for the purpose of melting rocks in mining operations, although this weapon is just as effective for showering flames upon the Nitron's enemies.

Nitron debuted in version 1.7.0 of Mega Man Maker.

Level Builder

The Nitron is designated to the 6th layer of the editor (Close front), and as such, it can be placed over tiles, as well as some level objects. Its color can be manually set to either blue (with yellow-orange flame projectiles and antenna), or yellow-orange (with blue flame projectiles and antenna). The color has no other effect on its attributes, such as its health or projectile strength.

Behavior

After spawning, the Nitron will begin flying through the air in a horizontal straight line in the player's general direction. Once it enters a proximity of around four tiles away, it will dive downwards three tiles in an arc, dropping a set of three fireballs in a row, which after colliding with solid terrain, will explode into pillars of flame - around 2.5 tiles in height, which dissipate after a brief moment. After finishing its arc of movement, the Nitron will fly straight upwards and off the visible screen, despawning in the process.

The Nitron's fireballs do, in fact, have the properties of fire, and are thus capable of melting frozen Lava, igniting TNT, and interacting with any other objects that would otherwise be affected by fire.

Trivia

• The Nitron's fiery pillar projectiles are virtually identical to the special weapon Flame Blast, albeit with a much larger pillar and hitbox.
