Gravity Hold

Gravity Hold (グラビティーホールド) is Gravity Man's special weapon. When used by Mega Man, it increases the gravity of all enemies on the screen to 20G, damaging them, then reduces the gravity, sending enemies that where defeated by it flying upward.

Gravity Hold is Gyro Man's weakness, giving him a good amount of damage (the Navi Mode of Rockman Complete Works and Mega Man: Anniversary Collection says it knocks him off balance). Besides Gyro Man, this weapon also works on Crystal Man, Stone Man and Circling Q9, but they take minor damage from it.

Trivia

 * Mega Man's color palette for the Gravity Hold is purple in the game, but in the official art he appears red. This is done so that the player can distinguish Gravity Hold from Mega Man's Rush items.
 * When used on Gravity Man's (when gravity is reversed) and Star Man's stages enemies still fly upward.
