Jewel Satellite is Jewel Man's signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 9]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.5.0]].
Leaf Shield is [[Wood Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' and reappearing in ''[[Mega Man II]]'' and ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.2.0]].


When activated, the user is surrounded by four diamonds that will reflect most projectiles that come in contact with it, while remaining intact. Enemies with 2 HP or less will be destroyed without removing the shield too. Pressing the attack key again will let the user throw the shield forward, where it will still be able to reflect projectiles as it moves slowly. Unlike most shield weapons, Jewel Satellite uses energy upon activation, and it can be deflected if the user is near reflective objects while it's still equipped.
When activated, it surrounds the user with a shield made of sharp leaves that can nullify enemy projectiles. The shield can hit multiple times, and by pressing left/right/up/down, it can be thrown in those directions, passing through all enemies, terrain, and reflective objects as it does. Only armored enemies can deflect the Leaf Shield. Additionally, the weapon only consumes energy when thrown. Sliding, dashing, or rolling does not launch the shield, and it won't fly off if it's activated while moving either. [[Moles]], [[Hot Dog]], and every member of the [[Spine]] family will be defeated instantly on contact with this weapon.
 
Regarding [[bosses]], the explosion from [[Grenade Man]]'s Flash Bomb and [[Tornado Man]]'s Tornado Blow are the only attacks that will remove Jewel Satellite. If [[Metal Man]]'s Metal Blade is reflected back to him, it will instantly kill him regardless of weakness settings or whether the player has [[Metal Blade]] themselves. While most reflected projectiles deal two units of damage to bosses, reflected Leaf Shields and Laser Tridents will deal four units of damage to [[Wood Man]] and [[Splash Woman]] if she's out of water, respectively.
 
==Glitches==
*When [[Pole Eggs]] are destroyed with Jewel Satellite, they will remove each individual diamond instead of the whole shield.


==Trivia==
* Since Leaf Shield doesn't consume energy upon activation, switching weapons can allow it to be used for free.
* In ''Mega Man 2'', Leaf Shield will slowly fall down off the screen if deflected. This was changed in ''Mega Man Maker'' to instead fly off toward the top corner of the screen.
* It originally could not nullify projectiles in its debut game.

Leaf Shield is Wood Man's signature weapon, originating from Mega Man 2 and reappearing in Mega Man II and Mega Man: The Wily Wars. It is featured in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.2.0.

When activated, it surrounds the user with a shield made of sharp leaves that can nullify enemy projectiles.

Only armored enemies can deflect the Leaf Shield. Additionally, the weapon only consumes energy when thrown. Sliding, dashing, or rolling does not launch the shield, and it won't fly off if it's activated while moving either. Moles, Hot Dog, and every member of the Spine family will be defeated instantly on contact with this weapon.
