The Press is a gimmick in Mega Man 2. It is a spiked crusher attached to a chain.
Presses were first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level, where they appeared in the entry Sunset Siege. In Make a Good Mega Man Level Remastered, it also appears in the remade Wily stage Flashback Database.
Presses returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, where they appeared in 6 entries, as well as the Wily stages Water Ducts and Reality Core, the Pit of Pits sub-level "Water Test", and in Null and Void. Conveyor Mayhem has a special sideways variant of Press, which also appears in Water Ducts and Reality Core.
Presses are included in the Megamix Engine, and are planned to appear as a devkit gimmick in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. Side Presses similar to those seen in Conveyor Mayhem are now a devkit gimmick.
Behavior
Presses will remain idle at first. When Mega Man gets close to a Press' Y-axis (or X-axis in the case of Side Presses), it will drop down (or forward if it's a Side Press), slowly moving back to its starting position afterwards. Presses also deflect projectiles.
