'''Oil Slider''' is Oil Man's signature weapon from the remake of the first Mega Man game, ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]'', and is one of the weapons featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' since version [[1.1.0]].
'''Tama''' is a large feline robot [[Enemies|enemy]] that has the capability of spitting yarn balls from its mouth, and launching flea robots from a compartment in its back. Tamas where originally designed by [[Dr. Light]] for a special event, but were modified for combat by [[Dr. Wily]]. They originate from ''[[Mega Man 3]]'' from [[Top Man]]'s stage and reappear in ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]'' and ''[[Mega Man II]]''.


When used, the user will fire a small blob of oil in front of them that will drop to the floor and stick on it for a short time. If it hits a wall, it will stop and drop directly downward. It can then be stepped on to slide on like a surf board. While sliding, the user will keep moving forward across the ground until the player character touches a wall that blocks the direction the Oil Slider is moving. The user can also jump while still on the slider, however jumping again while in the air will remove the slider but allows for additional height in the form of a double jump. During the surf, pressing the cursor key that points out to the opposite direction to the player character is going will slow down the player character while it is pressed.
When Tama spawns, it will spit out two yarn balls from its mouth in its facing direction, and will then do nothing but wag its tail until both yarn balls either despawn or are destroyed. When both yarn balls despawn or are destroyed, Tama will then launch three robot fleas in its facing direction, and will then do nothing but wag its tail until all three robot fleas are despawned or are destroyed. When all three robot fleas are despawned or are destroyed, Tama's AI will loop back to its first behaviour, spitting out two yarn balls once again.


While on the Oil Slider the player character can damage and pass through several enemies as long as they do not generate a harmful explosion after being defeated. However, the player remains vulnerable to projectiles shot by them. Damage to the player character will stop the surfing. The most powerful way to use it is by surfing. For blocks destructible by the Oil Slider, the most devastating way to destroy them is by surfing on the oil platform.
If the player gets behind Tama, Tama will not turn around to face the player and will continue to launch attacks in its facing direction.


The Oil Slider will float on top of water, causing an initial shot to float up to the surface if it ends up in water, and causing the user to ride on top of the water like solid ground so long as they stay on the oil slider. Due to its floating properties, Oil Slider can keep the player character over uneven water, although scaling the uneven water while going up will interrupt the Oil Slider ride.  Oil Slider can be used to ride on top of [[Chemical Solution]] in it's harmful green state so long as the player does not hit the corner of where the solution meets another surface.
Its contact damage is closer to that of ''Mega Man II'', where it dealt 5 points, rather than the other appearances. In ''Mega Man 3'', Tama acted as an invisible wall, while in ''Mega Man: The Wily Wars'', contact damage with it was instantly lethal.


The weapon was modified from its original use by Mega Man in that there can be three oil blobs at the same time, the damage was increased from 0.5 to 2, the character is invulnerable to contact damage, surfing does not deprive enemies of shields, and jumping out of it requires jumping with it on the air instead of pressing jump+up.
In ''Mega Man Maker'', Tama is considered a Midboss, which means that with its presence onscreen all [[Boss Door|Boss Doors]] are blocked and it is necessary to destroy Tama before they can be opened.


An oil blob can be ridden while it is still mid-air, allowing for setups that challenge the player's timing. If used with precision, Oil Slider can be used against walls to gain height with jumps and stay in the air forever.

The yarn balls bounce aimlessly, approximately 1 tile high, and 0.75 tiles wide, and will reverse direction of travel if they collide with something resembling a wall.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Oil Slider is the only weapon that was confirmed in an initial announcement about an upcoming update.
*The tail of the Tama is actually its own set of sprites that are animated on their own.
* Oil Slider is one of two exclusive weapons from the game ''Mega Man Powered Up'' that did not previously appear in the original Mega Man game. This is because it comes from one of the two newly introduced Robots Masters, Oil Man, the other weapon being Time Man's [[Time Slow]].
 
* In the announcement showcases for version 1.1.0 where Oil Slider was added, the sliding and jumping sprites were the standing and jumping sprites. However, the sprites were replaced by custom sprites made by [[E-Clare]] by 1.1.0's release.
* While the team normally had a guideline of adding three weapons per game in an update, Oil Slider was added as a last minute addition due to its heavy support in the development team. Ice Slasher, Hyper Bomb, and Time Slow were the weapons initially selected.

Tama is a large feline robot enemy that has the capability of spitting yarn balls from its mouth, and launching flea robots from a compartment in its back. Tamas where originally designed by Dr. Light for a special event, but were modified for combat by Dr. Wily. They originate from Mega Man 3 from Top Man's stage and reappear in Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Mega Man II.

When Tama spawns, it will spit out two yarn balls from its mouth in its facing direction, and will then do nothing but wag its tail until both yarn balls either despawn or are destroyed. When both yarn balls despawn or are destroyed, Tama will then launch three robot fleas in its facing direction, and will then do nothing but wag its tail until all three robot fleas are despawned or are destroyed. When all three robot fleas are despawned or are destroyed, Tama's AI will loop back to its first behaviour, spitting out two yarn balls once again.

If the player gets behind Tama, Tama will not turn around to face the player and will continue to launch attacks in its facing direction.

Its contact damage is closer to that of Mega Man II, where it dealt 5 points, rather than the other appearances. In Mega Man 3, Tama acted as an invisible wall, while in Mega Man: The Wily Wars, contact damage with it was instantly lethal.

In Mega Man Maker, Tama is considered a Midboss, which means that with its presence onscreen all Boss Doors are blocked and it is necessary to destroy Tama before they can be opened.

Yarn Balls

The yarn balls have 8 HP, and deal 3 HP in contact damage to the player.

The yarn balls bounce aimlessly, approximately 1 tile high, and 0.75 tiles wide, and will reverse direction of travel if they collide with something resembling a wall.

Robot Fleas

The robot fleas have 1 HP, and deal 2 HP in contact damage to the player.

The robot fleas attack by jumping towards the player, always jumping approximately slightly over 4 tiles high and 2.5 tiles wide.

When Tama first launches the robot fleas, each of them will be launched at different distances, causing them to land in different locations.

Glitches

  • Enemies with unique spawn-in animations, such as Hot Dog and Tama, may not react correctly to Crash Lift platforms when spawned falling onto one, if the Crash Lift platform is not moving upwards when landed on.

Trivia

  • The tail of the Tama is actually its own set of sprites that are animated on their own.
