Mega Man 2/Flash Man

Stage
Description: Flash Man's stage is short and very easy. The stage is set in a large base filled with crystals. These crystals make Mega Man slide, so be careful when you're moving around enemies. To stop Mega Man from sliding, just simply jump. The stage does not have any pits, although it does contain a tough enemy, the Sniper Armor, which is a huge machine that fires at you. You can avoid them altogether, but they still possess a threat. Other than that, Flash Man's stage is a breeze and should present no problem.

Walkthrough: You'll begin in a large room filled with crystals. Start moving to the right. Drop down on the right and immediately destroy the Shotmans (red guys). Keep going down this passage, shooting any Shotmans that block your path. Their shots do not take that much damage, so if you get hit, it's alright. When you reach the end of this small passage, jump onto the platform on the right. Jump up again and drop down. Keep going right, and destroy the Shotman on the platform from behind the wall. Go up to the platform where the Shotman was and drop all the way down. You'll immediately appear right in front of a Sniper Armor. Either get hit by it and keep running or destroy it. Drop down on the left. Destroy the Block enemy by shooting it's face, and jump onto the platform where the Block was. Drop down on the right. You'll appear in a room with a bunch of Schworms (enemies that spawn worms). Just run past them and drop down to the right. Now you'll appear in a small hole in front of a Sniper Armor. You can safely destroy the Sniper Armor and the Joe that pops out of it. When you do, drop down to the right. Keep going to the right until you get to the edge, and you'll notice a bunch of block. Jump from block to block until you get to the end (be careful though!). Your reward will be an E-Tank. Now drop back down and look out for the Sniper Armors. Keep going to the right. You'll see a Sniper Armor on a platform. Run to the left and he'll be erased from the screen! Now go back, jump to the chamber from the platform, and prepare to fight Flash Man!

Robot Master
Strategy: Flash Man is a fairly simple boss with the Crash Bombs. It should take about 5 Crash Bombs in Normal mode to defeat him, and 8 Crash Bombs in Difficult mode (so you'll have to use the Mega Buster afterwards). Flash Man can freeze time, and when he does, he'll shoot you. Other than that, he just walks around the room trying to crash into you. Right before he freezes time, try to jump in the air, as you'll have a higher chance of not getting hit. Use Crash Bombs when he's walking around the room and he should be done in no time. When you defeat him, you'll get Flash Man's weapon, the Time Stopper, which freezes time! You'll also get Item-3, which will be very useful.
