What is the name of the weapon Mega Man gets from Crash Man?

Mega Man gets the Crash Bomber after defeating Crash Man in Mega Man 2. This special weapon fires explosive projectiles that travel horizontally and can destroy certain enemies and obstacles.

Crash Man is one of the eight Robot Masters created by Dr. Wily for Mega Man 2, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988 in Japan and 1989 in North America. His stage is built around vertical movement, ladders, falling platforms, and enemies that make careful timing important.

The weapon name is sometimes confused with Crash Man’s own identity or with Mega Man’s standard Mega Buster. It is also distinct from the weapons earned from other Robot Masters, such as the Rolling Cutter from Cut Man in the original game. As in other classic Mega Man titles, the order of boss battles matters because each special weapon exploits another boss’s weakness.
