- "This cursor enemy will cycle through 3 patterns, once he finishes he will move to his inital position and start over."
- ―Note in Pointan's code, Megamix Engine
Pointan is an enemy from Mega Man 10. It is a blue robot shaped like a computer's default mouse pointer.
Pointan is included in the Megamix Engine, and was available as a devkit enemy for all games built with it. The first to use Pointan was Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level, but it only saw use as an enemy (at least unmodified) in the final boss fight, within one of Don Atetemino's mini-stage boxes. It fared slightly better in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, which used it in the entry Shape Woman, and the NEO Pit of Pits sublevels "A Day at the Piano Gym", "A Level my Sister Cleared", and "Oops, My System Crashed".
Contents
Behavior
Pointan will drag outlines to form rectangles that turn into windows that fly either horizontally or vertically, one at a time. It cycles through three specific shapes, returning to its spawning point every three times it makes windows. The pattern consists of the following, in order:
- A 2x2 square, with the windows alternating between moving down and moving in whatever direction Mega Man was facing when they were spawned. This is the default starting shape.
- A 4-window column, with the windows moving in whatever direction Mega Man was facing when they were spawned.
- A 4-window row, with the windows moving downward.
Creation code can be used to change which shape Pointan starts with (initialPattern = 1 for the column, initialPattern = 2 for the row)

Trivia
- The Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 boss Cursor uses the same sprites as Pointan. Its CD in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero further specifies it as being a modified Pointan in-universe.
