Author Existence Failure (now renamed to Died During Production) is a trope for dying before finishing a work, not anytime a creator almost died.


* TroubledProduction: The third game's production was delayed for years and was set to be released on 2018, only for ACE's health issues to come up, and followed by a particularly [[CreatorBreakdown dark year]], and a barely averted self-AuthorExistenceFailure. It finally was released in 2019, and even then the ''[[VideoGame/MakeAGoodMegaManLevelContest MaGMML3]]'' staff had to help finish off the game themselves when ACE wasn't able to. A post-credits sequence where ACE talks directly to the viewer, [[TearJerker tell of the troubles in more detail]].

* CreatorBacklash: In a recent video, ACE stated his distaste for the boss exclusive to the Flash version, Sleigh Attacker, considering it the worst boss in the series as a whole. He also mentioned disliking for the few remixes he contributed to that game.

* ScheduleSlip: Both the sequel and the remake were released the day after Christmas. 2013 (as well as 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 [[OverlyLongGag and 2018]]) got no game at all.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The third game wanted to continue the use of the song, 'Carol of the Drums' for the boss corridors, which had been in every game up until this point, and a new remix was made for it for ''Christmas Carol 3'', how-ever it got replaced by a remix of 'Silent Night'. ACE mentioned in a video that a automated [[ScrewedByTheLawyers copyright strike]] on a private video for that song resulted in its replacement towards the end of development for future Let's Players to not be affected. The song is still in the game folder and the sound test, along with an explanation of the situation.

** The third game in the series was planned to be more of a traditional ''Mega Man'' game, including full length stages. The Robot Masters would also be unrelated to ''A Christmas Carol'', with ACE releasing artwork of two such bosses: "[[https://www.deviantart.com/ace-spark/art/Megaman-s-Christmas-Carol-3-Advent-Kerze-337868072/ Advent Kerze]]" and "[[https://www.deviantart.com/ace-spark/art/Megaman-s-Christmas-Carol-3-Something-Brandy-341257157/ Toxic Brandy]]".
