Bottomless Pit



A bottomless pit is death hazard that appears in all side-scrolling Mega Man games. If any of the playable characters falls into one, they will lose a life. Pits often have enemies that either fall from above or from the pit that try to knock the character into it, and often need to be approached carefully before jumping over it. In some Mega Man games, the are certain items or support units that will carry you out of a pit for a short time if you fall into one. (For example, purchasing a Beat Call in Mega Man 9 will carry the player out of a bottomless pit once when used.)
