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, there are certain items that will carry you out of a pit for a short time if you fall into one. For example, purchasing Beat in some games from the Mega Man classic series or using a bird Cyber-elf in the Mega Man Zero series will carry the player out of a bottomless pit once when used.
