Flash Stopper (フラッシュストッパー Furasshu Sutoppā) is Bright Man's Special Weapon. Flash Stopper deals no damage directly, but emits an intense light that activates a safety device in the camera eyes of robots, blinding them for a short period, which makes them unable to move and open for attack with the Mega Buster. However, when used in the games it appears to freeze time, being able to stop projectiles and enemies without eyes. Flash Stopper does no damage to enemies directly, but in Mega Man 4 it has a bonus effect: It can allow Mega Man to attack shielded enemies, like Shield Attacker and Skeleton Joe, without the Mega Buster shots being deflected or doing no harm.
Flash Stopper is one of the weapons voted to appear in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2. It has greatly reduced ammo, but now also stops stage gimmicks in addition to enemies. Bosses weak to it have weakened Hit Invulnerability. It is now possible to stop the effects of Flash Stopper early by switching weapons.
