Mega Man 2/Crash Man

Stage
Description: Crash Man's stage is moderately long but should be rather easy. The stage is set in a large mechanical tower, where Mega Man starts at the bottom and must ascend all the way to the top. The stage does not have any pits but falling from ladders (and there's a lot) can become an annoyance to some. This stage also features very fun elevators which Mega Man must ride to get to ladders.

Walkthrough: You'll start off inside a room full of pipes and strange block-head enemies. Immediately ascend the ladder to the right of you, and then ascend the second ladder. Now destroy any block heads that are in your way. Go up the next ladder. You'll have to jump from this platform to the ladder to make it, so do so. Now climb up the final ladder, and you'll show up in a hallway. Keep going to the right, destroying some Metalls (little guys under the hardhats). You can only destroy the Metalls, however, when they shoot, so remember that when you encounter one. Now ascend the ladder at the end of the hallway. Here comes one of the fun parts. Jump on the elevator as soon as it comes near you. Destroy any block-heads that are in your way. When the elevator comes near the ladder, immediately jump and go up. Now jump on the next elevator and repeat, destroying any block-heads that may come near you. Finally, the trickest elevator remains. Do the same here, and if you fall, you can always try again.

Now you'll be high in the sky. Keep going right, destroying the Block enemies (you have to shoot thier face to destroy them). Go up the long ladder. When you get to the top, you'll see a Metall on one of the three blocks. Jump on the first block, then jump from the very edge of it, and keep going left (but don't fall). The Metall should immediately shoot, and when it does, destroy it. Now go up this small ladder. It's now nighttime. There are two ladders...take the right one. Keep going up as fast as you can. When you reach the area where you can either stay on this ladder or take the right one, take the right one. Keep going until you reach the top, avoiding the birds as best you can. When you get to the top, fall down on the left side, and you'll get an E-Tank. Now take out Item-2 and shoot it in mid-air. Quickly jump on it, and when it passes under the small platform, jump onto the platform. You can do the same thing with the ladder to the left on the top platform. The ladder on the left leads to an extra life. If you don't choose to take the ladder on the left, go up the one on the right. Regardless of whatever ladder you took, you'll still end up on the top of the tower. You'll immediately be attacked by a bunch of Fly Boys (robots with propellers on their heads). Just keep going to the right, as they are easy to dodge. When you get to the end, you'll reach the chamber. Go inside and prepare to fight Crash Man.

Robot Master
Strategy: Crash Man's main weakness is the Air Shooter. You can make quick work of this guy with only 2 or 3 shots from it! Crash Man likes to jump around the stage while firing his Crash Bombs randomly. You can shoot him in mid-air with the Air Shooter easily. After he does this, he'll walk around the room for awhile and then start jumping again. Use this time to hit him with the Air Shooter and he's done. When you defeat him, you'll get his weapon, the Crash Bomb!
