Hornet Chaser is Hornet Man's signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 9]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.5.0]].


'''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]]''.
Firing the weapon sends out a bee-shaped drone that will home in on any enemies and items that are on the screen after a brief delay, with priority being given to whichever is closest. Upon picking up an item, it will then return to the user's location before continuing to fly in the direction it was traveling. Quick-switching weapons will cause an item it was holding to be dropped, but it can be picked up again. Should an enemy be defeated by it, and there are still enemies or items on screen, then it will lock on to the next closest target. If no potential targets are present on screen, then the bees will simply travel diagonally upward. Up to three Hornet Chasers can be present at a time. [[Anti-Eddie]]'s item can be retrieved by Hornet Chaser while it's still attached to him.


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 Block]]s, [[Molier|Moliers]], [[Crunch Don|Crunch Don's Hammers]], or [[Bari III|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.

===Trivia===
* Astro Buttons can be used for rudimentary Binary functions for example [https://megamaker.webmeka.io/level-data.php?id=433091 433091 - Binary Puzzle] or [https://megamaker.webmeka.io/level-data.php?id=515847 515847 - You Have To Hit The Button At Least 256 Times].
* Astro Reset Buttons can be used with Bari III Heads to create instant buttons that have an immediate 0 frame reset which you can see in action here [https://megamaker.webmeka.io/level-data.php?id=519259 519259 - Trust - An Escalating Series].
