Fly Boy (フライボーイ Furai Bōi), also known as Prop-Top in the Mega Man 2 instruction manual for the U.S., is a pogo-like toy that was modified by Dr. Wily into a robot that attacks by pressing its target. They appear infinitely from the top of the screen. After landing, they levitate up slowly for a bit, try to crush Mega Man swiftly, and repeat.

Mega Man II
Fly Boys appear in one part of Crash Man's stage, but as it takes some time for them to appear, it is easy to miss them.
