The '''Pipi''' is a flying bird robot [[Enemies|enemy]] that originates from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' and makes an appearance in ''[[Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge]]'', ''[[Mega Man II]]'', and ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]''. The Pipi was the first asset to be shown off for version [[1.7.0]] of ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''.
'''Pukapucker''' is a small robot with a hovering sphere for a head, and a bucket-shaped body with feet. They are [[enemies]] that originate from ''[[Mega Man 5]]'' from [[Crystal Man]]'s stage.


A Pipi attacks by dropping an egg if it is 3 or less tiles next to the [[Characters|player character]]'s vertical axis. Upon contact with a solid floor, the egg cracks in two and a flock of seven small Pipis called "Copipis" are released. The Copipis fly in a straight path to the player character's current position. The Copipis are not released if the egg falls down a pit or if it is destroyed before it collides with a solid floor. If a Pipi is shot before it drops the egg, the egg will drop and will release any Copipis inside if in contact with a solid floor.
==In ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''==


Pipis come in three different colors—light-orange and white, dark-orange and light-orange, and dark-pink and white. They can be set to either move left or right in the [[Level Builder]]. There is also a Pipi [[spawner]] that will constantly spawn a Pipi in the direction the player is facing if the player is in the spawner's area.
===Behavior===
When Pukapucker spawns, it will walk 4 tiles forwards and then 4 tiles backwards, and then repeat the behaviour. While it is doing this, the enemy's spear shaped head will hover up and down 1.5 tiles high at regular intervals. If the head collides with a ceiling when hovering upwards, it will reverse direction and hover downwards.
 
If Pukapucker's head is attacked and destroyed, or is despawned by traveling off-screen, its body will also be destroyed.
 
If Pukapucker's body is attacked and destroyed, or is despawned by traveling off-screen, the head will continue to travel in its facing direction, bouncing up and down on the ground 4.5 tiles high. If the bouncing head collides with a wall, it will reverse its direction of travel. If the head collides with a ceiling when bouncing, it will reverse direction and bounce downwards.
 
===[[Level Builder]]===
Pukapucker can be set to face left or right in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'''s Level Builder.

Pukapucker is a small robot with a hovering sphere for a head, and a bucket-shaped body with feet. They are enemies that originate from Mega Man 5 from Crystal Man's stage.

In Mega Man Maker

Behavior

When Pukapucker spawns, it will walk 4 tiles forwards and then 4 tiles backwards, and then repeat the behaviour. While it is doing this, the enemy's spear shaped head will hover up and down 1.5 tiles high at regular intervals. If the head collides with a ceiling when hovering upwards, it will reverse direction and hover downwards.

If Pukapucker's head is attacked and destroyed, or is despawned by traveling off-screen, its body will also be destroyed.

If Pukapucker's body is attacked and destroyed, or is despawned by traveling off-screen, the head will continue to travel in its facing direction, bouncing up and down on the ground 4.5 tiles high. If the bouncing head collides with a wall, it will reverse its direction of travel. If the head collides with a ceiling when bouncing, it will reverse direction and bounce downwards.

Level Builder

Pukapucker can be set to face left or right in Mega Man Maker's Level Builder.

Trivia

  • Pukapucker may be based on a Floating Ball Toy.
  • When both Pukapucker's body and head are both alive, its head is not affected by gravity but its body is. It is unknown if this is a glitch or intentional.

Glitches

  • In Mega Man Maker, due to a glitch or mistake in the enemy's AI, when whole, Pukapucker will immediately reverse its direction of travel when colliding with a wall when it is walking to the left, but will not immediately reverse its direction of travel when colliding with a wall when it is walking to the right.
  • When a Pukapuker's body is pulled by a Conveyor Belt, its head will clip through walls it collides with.
