Mega Man 2 Difficult Run Part 2: Heat Man Stage & Item-1
6DISAPPEARING PLATFORMS ALERT!
I think the pattern of this platforms change depending on whether you're playing this game on Normal or Difficult.
Dr. Wily based Heat Man's concept and abilities on Dr. Light's own Fire Man. As such, he wield fire powers, this time being able to produce flames that can reach 21,632ยฐF/12,000ยฐC using his weapon, Atomic Fire. This is all while being resistant to strong flames himself, of course.
He also looks like a walking, talking Zippo, so there's a possibility that Heat Man is a smoker.
Defeating Heat Man gives Mega Man his Atomic Fire weapon. This weapon is noticeable for letting Mega Man charge it for more power, two games before this got applied to Mega Man's Mega Buster in Mega Man 4.
Beating this stage also has Mega Man receive Item-1 from Dr. Light. This lets Mega Man throw out up to three platforms on the screen that slowly fly upward.
