Mega Man 2 - Crash Man's Stage

Now for the stage in MM2 that easily has my favourite music from the game, Crash Man's stage! While the stage itself is definitely nothing fancy.... heck, this stage is pretty dull... the music is definitely a lot better. XD The stage design leaves a lot to be desired with slow moving platforms that follow a rail, cheating birds, and really, REALLY slow ladder climbing when there are several screens worth of ladders. The enemies are few and far between here, too... the stage does not even look all that nice, but eh, stage design was definitely where the later Mega Man games excelled.
Crash Man himself is one of the most pitiful bosses in the series. If you stand directly against either wall he will not even be able to run into you... his aim is terrible as long as you keep moving... he really has nothing to make him difficult. Just to add further insult to injury, his weakness kills him in about 3 hits... poor Crash Man.
Enjoy!~

Fun fact: This stage music would later be remixed and used as the opening theme of the Canadian game show Video and Arcade Top 10.

[@DaMarcel96]

what this game

[@mechrob1]

Video and Arcade Top 10, it’s an old Canadian TV game show that used to Air on YTV in the 90s where contestants win prizes by playing various video games.

[@videostar2528]

True

[@zephryus]

aha i always thought they sounded similar. so this is why.

[@detspark1880]

I came here because I got crash man music as a ringtone lol and was like I need to see this battle 😔

[@justinfritz7294]

I wonder if crash man is weak to air because air bags stop crashes.

[@agentblackbird9435]

Justin Fritz It messes with his balance or accuracy I believe.

[@aircall2065]

@@agentblackbird9435 a lot of mm2 weaknesses are the robot masters design flaws. Guess its because wily didnt just steal already checked up and finely-tuned robots from his rival.

[@darkbrogaming976]

It is it has air as weakness

[@lilestower]

My favorite Music as well! Dam-dam-dada-dadada-dada-dam-dam!

[@huevos_300]

The lyric of the music :)

[@smkanim2009]

THIS STAGE CAN GO TO HELL

[@tafyog8446]

Not the stage as much as the boss. man, FUCK crash man.

[@theyounggamer6566]

Tafyog Actualllly... HE IS SO EASY... just walk left and right, and jump and shoot, he should jump over you, and jump over the occasional crash bomber. you can do this with the Plasma Buster too!

[@silviatoledo8330]

Tafyog the song is cool doe

[@ak_samv]

I found the stage quite easy tbh, the boss overwhelmed me though.

[@wiilover07]

Yeah this level is a fucking bitch!!🤬

[@elijahcrossofficial]

This stage has the only song that survived from the original writing sessions for this game.

[@JacobDragyn]

Glad to find someone who likes Crashman's music as much as I do.

[@kitakun33]

I just was lazy and used leaf shield...

[@jordanscherr6699]

I have very vivid memories of that stage! Crash man was intimidating because it took so much effort to reach him as a nine year old. So fights against him tended to be brief since I'd used most of my lives and time by then.

[@darkevilness3yk]

3:36 And Crash Man did "Crash!". Rip Crash Man 3:36 - 3:39

[@johnyu2703]

1:29 Extra life! Ahh you missed it

[@oliberrhy2391]

I play this music on the piano as i watched, it synced up perfectly!

[@homebrewham2786]

no one cares

[@ajaxmaxbitch]

@@homebrewham2786 you do

[@iTubeYourDadsMinge]

When I played this at the age of 5... this was the hardest portion of Mega Man 2 - including Crash Man. But at that age, I unfortunately didn't have the internet or friends to tell me how easy it was to beat Crash Man. *Sigh* The old days of gaming were so much better and more fun.

[@nightowl411am3]

I couldn't stand those floating robot hamburgers 😅

[@TheGreatPizzaMasterpiece]

This game is an absolutely flawless masterpiece. I feel so lucky to have experienced its U.S. release in 1988. To this day, it has never failed to wow me. Thank you Capcom and Nintendo!

[@Skymouth]

I used to just put the game on pause during this level on the NES and let the music play in the background! Best Megaman song STILL!

[@SebaOutbreak]

Poor Crash Man, his design is actually my favorite out of the 8 robot masters, but I wish his pattern wasn't as easy to predict as this one. Also, what you say about Crash Bombs is true, it should've been at least a 14 shots weapon :/

[@theyounggamer6566]

SebaOutbreak Yeah. i wish his pattern was, well atleast more random, i mean. he can be made the easiest boss in the game. Nonetheless he should have been harder.

[@JoJovan]

+SebaOutbreak Me too Crash man is my favourite

[@RainbyFIN]

I don't. Ever since I watched the "Crash!! - Let's do it (Another version) "-video I've been scared of him. REALLY. SCARED.

[@carachamadofinger4640]

it's my favorite song too

[@cecilrichardson2494]

Actually, Crash Man makes for a reasonable starting point, if you think about it. And the fight with him is easy enough. He's one of the few where the Mega Buster does okay on its own.

[@rRecoveryProd]

Have you played A Day In The Limelight? It's a Mega Man fangame where you play as certain Robot Masters. Only two installments last I heard, though.

[@klaud7311]

this seriusly has too many unavoidable hazards

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

Like the damn Tellies.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

0:15 ...and why not. This is the score that inspired the theme music for Video and Arcade Top 10. Did you ever watch that show?

[@koemon_exe]

As a Canadian growing up in the early-mid 00s, absolutely!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Part of this theme music sounds like the Million Valley stage from the Capcom arcade racing game _Led Storm_ (_Mad Gear_ in Japan) which was also released in the 1988-89 time frame.

[@RSEalltheway]

hahaha XD i can see you shooting to the beat XD. that's what i always do as well

[@MaverickofTemporia]

I'll sneak up and hit 'cha like a fuckin' tornado, putting Crash Man in the trash can like yesterday's tomato's! Come on now! Crashin' the party it's Megaman baby (Megaman's in the house) Quit messin' around! It's all gravy! I, will fuck you up, i'm gonna fuck you up Megaman, you can't catch me. Totally total your ass, i ain't messing around! I, will throw a bomb, then i will just around- What's, that sound i hear? That shit's the wind and it's blownin' ya down!

[@Lilymm2bunnys]

3:07 Always called those guys "angry neighbours" :D

[@mrgameandwatch287]

i don't know if it's just me but part of the crash man stage music sounded like the 'self presevation army' song from the film the italian job (it's probably just me), great vid pink

[@conlia]

Rose,did you EVER come to the thought that Crash Man is fought in Deep Space?!

[@agentblackbird9435]

conlia OMG you’re right.

[@christiandavid8272]

Fuck i cant unhear the lyrics from the crashman lets crash vid when i hear this

[@abandonedchannel962]

I can't unhear I... WILL FUCK YOU UP I'MGONNAFUCKYOUUP MEGAMAN

[@DSN.001]

2:10 - @RoahmMythril , someone is calling you.

[@matematx2]

This is my favourite stage after Metal Man's (But this level has easily the best BGM)

[@Sekiria23]

The tellies in this stage always pissed me off. They would always show up at the most inopportune time while I'm riding the platforms and I'd have to wait until it got to my level again.

[@kagemaru259]

Crash Man was my sister’s favorite stage to play way back in 1991.

[@Mer364]

Love Crash Man's theme. Also some parts of it oddly reminds of the movie Willow? O.o

[@firethetruthmarcuscarrollE.T.R]

LETS GO I LOVE THIS BEAT SO MANY MEMORIES 😎🤩

[@robhill9336]

I agree on the music. I actually set this as my ringtone.

[@lennarthoekveen9339]

Maybe ClashMan is weak to air because he's in space which is a zero pressure environment if you release air into empty space it will explode immediately

[@FanofZelda450]

Ye I remember they were based on that too. But thanks for the passage, that'll probably help me a lot ;)

[@SeijinMahoutsukai]

@Ixtoysrus I know the feeling. I had several usernames on the net, often coming up with new ones if something I wanted was taken. Although some names would get used frequently if I liked them enough, like Seijin (I had to improvise for an extra word because Seijin alone was already taken). I wear the bottom pajama part, so I guess I'm wearing pants then. Yet, Crash Man's stage song still isn't among my favorite. I'm weird like that. That's... That's what Pink likes about me, I guess!

[@FanofZelda450]

I don't remember... I just... found it somehow, it's been a long time :P

[@Theshark15z]

The only thibg that bothers me of freshman stage is the level design. You are constantly ascending like Elecman, but this level had more of a frustration with the birds while in Elecman you just had to avoid the electrical discharges most of the time.

[@colinbradfield72]

the robot boss is always easy with the right weapon, its those stupid respawning spinny things that hit you on a ladder that makes this so hard. luckily the music is epic!! :P

[@UmbreonMessiah]

Wait...wait...wait... Lemme get this straight. You're playing MM2, and THIS is your favorite tune by far? THIS GAME HAS THE 8-BIT GODTHEME ON IT!!! How can THIS be your favorite? D: Weird kitty...

Video and Arcade Top 10

[@ms.yawhaw8831]

1:09 sync song song

[@happycatbus20]

This music is composed by Nicholas "Picholas" Schimmelpenninck, the host from Video & Arcade Top 10, which is why it bears such a resemblance to the theme for that show, which he also composed. What a legend.

[@remino]

It was composed by Nicholas Schnier. Not the same Nicholas. However, both legends.

[@FanofZelda450]

I finished the 5th temple... I'm stuck in the tower, in the dark places. I didn't play in a long time, I should try again to figure out what to do. ^^

[@payasofobia]

Won't you do it? Hey let's do it, making exhilarating love It's so big and bigger Won't you do it with me? Won't you do it with me? I am just loving you Megaman....and your bright smile and shining eyes! Come here and stop time Flashman! And make a paradise of love! Burn us both, oh beautiful Heatman! Cover us with the flames of love! Don't get in the way, Airman! Just fan of gently as we share all our love! CRASH! Let's do it! Over and over again! We cant stop! Keep going! Yeaaaaaaah

[@barktrap]

What?

[@44bigfreeze]

Am I the only one who thought this was harder than Quickman's stage?

[@weeping_me362]

Ragnar Ahlman I-wha-dont eve- HOW!?!?!?!?!? I can see having difficulties with the moving platforms I had to use a cheat code to get past Quickman (playing the legacy collection) Those lazers were too hard to dodge even with Flash man's power.

[@44bigfreeze]

The birds are annoying

[@weeping_me362]

That makes sense. I thought they were tougher in Air man's Stage.

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

Respawning Tellies and THOSE PIPS!

[@TheMartianGeek]

Maybe that's why he's called Crash Man...the "And Burn" was too long to fit on the stage select screen.

[@darkmagicians62]

3:34 Krumping Marge Simpson

[@jeremyabrahamson2872]

I have to say, I hate this stage. I hate this theme. Maybe it's because I'm stuck forever on the third floating platform screen, never making it past with enough health to pass the birds, never running out of health as long as I don't pass the screen with the platforms, getting knocked off the platforms over and over again, the song never stops Dut-dut-Duuduuu....ing for all eternity. I have seen and testify, hell is real.

[@JoJovan]

Jeremy Abrahamson Use Metal blade

[@Hemley1]

Very funny theme song!

[@yeahok3021]

am I the only one who uses leaf shield at these parts 0:43

[@jenniferburchill3658]

I used the leaf shield a LOT back in the day- both on this stage and on that Dr. Wily stage with those flying tiny cans.

[@SeijinMahoutsukai]

Hey, Pink. Nice stage as always. But few people actually know how to beat Crash Man without his weakness. I mean, how to avoid taking hits and all that. When I get to LP Mega Man 2, I'll do him with the arm cannon. ^_^ @UmbreonMessiah Wut? How did you know I wasn't wearing pants?!

[@Shadsilvson11]

Crash Man's stage is probably my favourite in the game. Definitely better than the next stage.

[@TheCastellan]

Leaf Shield's great on the rail screens.

[@joshuas135]

I love this stages music it’s my favorite mega man theme also this is my favorite mega man 2 stage

I usually do this stage 4th or 5th.

[@Dashen_]

Crashman and Quickman are my favourite bosses of all mgamas, idk why. Crashman cus of the epic music, quickman cus.... idk I hated the fact that there is a boss in willy's castle that needs u to have full ammo of crash bomber to defeat him.... them.... whatever.

I'm sure if you're good at it Quick Man's stage can be enjoyable. But to me that stage is pure evil (CURSE YOU LASERS OF DEATH, DOOM, ANNIHILATION, DESTRUCTION ETC). Also Quick Man is a complete ass to fight. But hey that's just me.

[@frankpre]

I don't know if I'm just really bad or if the game is really hard because this game is soooo hard
