The Flash Stopper (フラッシュストッパー Furasshu Sutoppā) is Bright Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 4. It 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. 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.

Make a Good Mega Man Level 2
The Flash Stopper was one of the weapons voted to appear in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, receiving the most votes in the Screen Wide category. It has greatly reduced ammo, but now also stops stage gimmicks in addition to enemies. Bosses weak to it have weakened hit invulnerability to compensate for the weapon's lack of damage output. Notably, however, Quick Man takes damage over time from the Flash Stopper's effect, but also drastically shortens its duration. It is now possible to stop the effects of the Flash Stopper early by switching weapons. Simply activating Flash Stopper will also instantly defeat Skeleton Joes.
Damage Tables
Because the Flash Stopper uses uncharged Mega Buster shots, these tables merely list if the boss is frozen by it, with Y meaning it is, and N meaning it isn't. An asterisk (*) denotes a boss that takes damage over time while frozen.
