The Fuse Platform is a gimmick in Mega Man IV, found in Napalm Man's stage. It is a cluster of rock blocks that explode in a trail.
Fuse Platforms were first available with the Megamix Engine, and were included in all devkits for games using it. The first game to use them was Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero, in the stage Refurbished Pyramid, and they went on to appear in the Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level stages blainz and Pandora's Parlor.
Behavior
Fuse Platforms will start off functioning as regular blocks. Once a timer on a nearby FusePlatformStarter object reaches 0, the nearby Fuse Platforms will be destroyed, with the order they're destroyed in depending on the path of direction-changing objects for each of the four cardinal directions.
Fuse Platform Starters have three creation code values:
- timeUntilDeath - How many frames until the object explodes and starts the chain reaction. Default value is 30 frames.
- alarmTimeMax - How many frames the chain reaction pauses for between the destruction of the previous Fuse Platform and the destruction of the next one. Default value is 7 frames.
- startDir - The direction that the chain reaction starts in. Default value is 'down'.
