"An elevator from MM7 Wily 4. If you're fully standing on it, you can press Up or Down to move it around."

―Note in Controllable Lift's code, Megamix Engine

The Controllable Lift is a gimmick from Mega Man 7, found in the fourth and final Wily Castle stage. It is an elevator that can manually move up and down.

Controllable Lifts were first included in the Megamix Engine, and therefore the devkits for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. Prior to either games' release, however, it appeared in Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered's New Style version of the Wily stage Flashback Database.

Behavior

If Mega Man steps on a Controllable Lift, the player can move it up and down with the applicable up and down controls. While the lift is moving, Mega Man's movement is disabled and is only restored when it stops.

Controllable Lifts have a few variables that can be altered via creation code:

• range - The number of pixels a Controllable Lift will move up or down with each input (by default, this is set to 64).
• yMin - The y coordinate of a Controllable Lift's highest allowed point (by default, this is set to the object's starting position).
• yMax - The y coordinate of a Controllable Lift's lowest allowed point (by default, this is set to the object's starting position plus its range value multiplied by four).
• resetMe - If set to true (as it is by default), a Controllable Lift's position resets upon leaving the screen.
