But no. And metools are robots too, so they obviously aren't the answer.

It is a who.

That appears WITHIN the games, so it's not one of the creators.

It is NOT a robot, which elim---waaaaiiiitaminute. You just mean to say the character does not appear in the Classic series, since prettymuch all humans from that series have been named already. D:

Who said anything about this being a character? I said it's not a "who", and it's not a robot. Maybe there are characters still able to fit within those limits, but you're not on the right track!

Is it the Weapon Select Screen?

Let me explain:

From the past to the future - That would be from Mega Man to Mega Man X, which it is both present in.
I'm always here to greet you. Whenever you pause the game, want to switch a weapon, etc, this screen shows up.
Marked or anonymous. - The screen starts fairly empty when you begin a new game, until you start accumulating some weapons from bosses. In which these spaces reserved for them are either marked or anonymous.
I've been abused before. - In the early Mega Man games, bringing up the menu and then returning to the game causes Mega Man to faint-warp, which can cause some shots to go right through him undamaged.

Undamaged through the ages. - It's remained an essential means of switching weapons since the beginning, until the use of the shoulder buttons was introduced.
I usually come as twins. - Some of the Weapons you gain are divided into two menus, like in MM2 and MM3, while in some other games, like MM7, MMIV, and MMV, the first menu lists your Weapons, while the other menu usually lists Powers-Ups, Items, Bolt/P-Chip count, etc.
Chained or split. - See above.
My core remains unchanged. See first line of this passage.

Doubt it. Vanishing Blocks can't be abused. They abuse you.

Yes, vanishing blocks can abuse you. But no, it isn't the answer. And no to the MegaBuster / X-Buster / Z-Saber!

I keep thinking the "abuse" is supposed to happen out-of-game rather than in-game... but eh.

Could it perhaps be the health and weapon energy bars? They're always there, come as twins, and while undamaged, they track the amount of damage the played character has taken.

There's one clear abuse of the health bar: Hyper Storm H's surprising double bar in Wily Wars! Unfortunately for you, that's not the answer.

For your information, the "abuse" aspect is in-game!

Riddles are getting stale, let's finish this!

From the past to the future,
I'm always here to greet you.
Marked or anonymous,
I've been abused before.

Undamaged through the ages,
I usually come as twins.
Chained or split,
My core remains unchanged.

Usually quiet on the inside,
I've hosted evil before.
If that inside is sometimes troublesome,
What lies ahead is far more dramatic.

What am I?

Oh, could it be the Boss Shutters?

No!

... wait, yes!! The explanation:

From the past to the future, - From the original up to the ZX series
I'm always here to greet you. - The doors/shutters are present in all the platformers
Marked or anonymous, - Some bear a logo, some don't
I've been abused before. - What was up with X6's use of doors at random locations?

Undamaged through the ages, - Can't attack the shutters!
I usually come as twins. - Self-explanatory
Chained or split, - Some are actual shutters linked to the top, others are split doors
My core remains unchanged. - Their function remains unchanged no matter the format

Usually quiet on the inside, - Nothing is usually moving in there
I've hosted evil before. - Yet sometimes, enemies will be in the way
If that inside is sometimes troublesome, - ...
What lies ahead is far more dramatic. - The boss lies ahead, careful!

Arkane, you're up next!

I'd just like to point out that X6's random boss doors were for the three bonus bosses (Zero Nightmare, High Max, Dynamo) and that X2 had such extraneous doors before X6 did.

Also, Doc, no more riddle-making for you.

My comment on X6 wasn't about the boss doors themselves, but how some doors looked completely useless.

Sample time!

Man, that one was a toughie for some reason. It makes sense now that we have the answer, but for some reason the answer just didn't seem to come to mind.

Now, time for me to punish you!

Though I'm part of tradition, in a succession of ancestry,
I am considered of another world, and quite different from the rest.
In my family, I am the second youngest, resemble the oldest,
but my size is what really sets me apart from everyone.

Who Am I?

Try this one for a bit. You're always welcome to ask for clues.
