Power Stone is [[Stone Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 5]]'' and reappearing in ''[[Mega Man IV]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.3.0]].


When the attack key is pressed, three stones spiral out from the user's location, passing through all enemies regardless of any armor or HP they may have. However, it can still be stopped by reflective objects such as unmarked [[Weapon Blocks]], [[Wood Man]] and [[Plant Man]]'s shields, [[Astro Man]]'s orbiting bits, and [[Grenade Man]]'s Flash Bomb and falling debris. Other objects such as [[On/Off Switches]], [[Dust Blocks]], [[Ice Blocks]], and Weapon blocks marked with Power Stone will absorb the stones when they make contact. The stones will continue to spiral out until all three leave the screen, and the weapon cannot be refired until then.  
'''Astro Button''' is a solid, small level object that moves [[Astro Gate| Astro Gates]] if the player is standing on them. Like the Astro Gates, it comes from the [[Puzzle |Puzzle Maze]] sections of [[Astro Man]]'s level in ''[[Mega Man 8]]''.


==Trivia==
The Astro Buttons have 8 color options: red, blue, green, orange, purple, light orange, pink, and teal. When the button is pressed it will move any Astro Gates of the same color as the button.
*Power Stone is unique in that it doesn't use a shooting or throwing animation, while not being a shield or melee weapon either.
*It was known as the weakest weapon in ''Mega Man 5'', due to its low power and accuracy, as well as the fact that it can be deflected when it touches an enemy projectile.


If the Astro Button is pressed and its corresponding gate is off-screen it will begin to move as soon as the screen transitions - off screen gates will not move until then. Astro Buttons must be on screen to be used. Offscreen buttons will not trigger until they are scrolled into view. Heavy objects like [[Push Block]]s, [[Molier|Moliers]], [[Crunch Don|Crunch Don's Hammers]], or [[Bari III|Bari III's heads]] can press Astro Buttons.


{{MM5}}
If the player jumps over Astro Buttons while time is stopped they will still be pressed, although Astro Gates will only start to move when the effect stops.

Astro Button is a solid, small level object that moves Astro Gates if the player is standing on them. Like the Astro Gates, it comes from the Puzzle Maze sections of Astro Man's level in Mega Man 8.

The Astro Buttons have 8 color options: red, blue, green, orange, purple, light orange, pink, and teal. When the button is pressed it will move any Astro Gates of the same color as the button.

If the Astro Button is pressed and its corresponding gate is off-screen it will begin to move as soon as the screen transitions - off screen gates will not move until then. Astro Buttons must be on screen to be used. Offscreen buttons will not trigger until they are scrolled into view. Heavy objects like Push Blocks, Moliers, Crunch Don's Hammers, or Bari III's heads can press Astro Buttons.

If the player jumps over Astro Buttons while time is stopped they will still be pressed, although Astro Gates will only start to move when the effect stops.


Astro Reset Button

The Astro Reset Button is a grey variant of the Astro Button that when pressed resets all gates back to their original position. Just like regular buttons, affected gates will not reset until they the screen is transitioned onto.
