The Nitro Truck is a gimmick from Mega Man 10, found in Nitro Man's stage. It is a self-driving truck robot that comes in two sizes.
Nitro Trucks were first included in the Megamix Engine, and subsequently the devkits for Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level. Before either game, it appeared in the Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero stages In the Flesh and Null and Void.
Behavior
Nitro Trucks drive forwards in the direction they're facing, alerting Mega Man to their presence with a horn. If they crash into him, they deal damage and are destroyed from the collision (the latter also happens if they crash into a wall). They are also immune to the majority of weapons, though the Spark Shock and the Chill Spike's blob state are capable of freezing them (the latter's spike state can also damage them). Mega Man can safely jump on top of them and ride them, though they can potentially carry him into hazards.
Nitro Trucks are spawned from a dedicated spawner object, which has a number of creation code variables:
- spawn_interval - Sets how long it takes to spawn a Nitro Truck.
- truckSpeed - Sets the speed of the spawned Nitro Truck.
- objectToSpawn - Sets the object to spawn; by default, this is set to the small Nitro Truck. Changing the value to "objNitroTruckLarge" will allow it to spawn the large Nitro Truck variant.
Trivia
- One Nitro Truck is known to be a dimension-hopping crime boss known only as "A Truck". The MaGMML Wiki can neither confirm nor deny its relation to the infamous serial killer Truck-kun.
