Flying Shell (or "Mambu", depending on localization) is an enemy from Mega Man introduced in version 1.1.0 of Mega Man Maker. It is a reconnaissance robot that flies in a set direction and can only be harmed with most weapons when its eyes are exposed. When it opens its shell, it stops moving for a while and fires projectiles going straight in all eight directions. It ignores terrain collisions in its trajectory and so does its projectiles. The Flying Shell attacks every four tiles he crosses after starting to move.

If they appear because of a Flying Shell Spawner, one Flying Shell at a time will appear until it leaves the screen or is defeated. Therefore, Flying Shell Spawners only spawn a Flying Shell if there is no current Flying Shell coming from the same spawner in the screen. Since frozen enemies are not considered to be defeated, this makes the spawner susceptible of being tricked by freezing its latest Flying Shell with weapons like Ice Slasher. Flying Shells coming from the spawner always have the same height of the spawner and come from the border of the screen regardless of the tile they were placed in as long as the player is in its presence.

In the Level Builder, both the Flying Shell and the Flying Shell Spawner occupy one tile.
