*Crash Weapon
The item that can go on the side of the B-Daman, adding a different type of fire to the B-Daman.
*Stadium

===Rules of a Crash Battle===
*B-Daman cannot be kept in the air during battle.
*Do not hide the Crash Tower or press it down with your hands.
*When gathering marbles, do not put your hand in front of the Crash Tower.
*Do not tilt or lean the B-Daman and release marbles in the air.
*Do not release marbles towards the opponent's/partner's hand or face intentionally.
*B-Daman feet parts should not come out of the shooting area.

*One Crash Tower must have six pillars.
*You may use two B-Daman with either a Synchro Weapon, or a Double Adaptor piece.
*All B-Daman must have all three Parts
===How to Play===
*Crash Battle
The point of this game is to take down the marbles on top of the opponent's Crash Tower before he/she does the same to you. You can topple with your B-Daman/Crash Weapons, following the above rules.
*Super Rush Battle
The point of this game is to shoot as many Battle Coins as you can on your opponents side. You load ??? number of Battle Coins into the "Rush Thrower" (Unknown Name), and it fires them out one by one. Each player tries to fire at the Battle Coin and knock it on the opponents side.
*Shoot the Gap
See B-Daman.
*Bowling
See B-Daman.
*Barricade Crash
Same rules as Crash Battle, using Crash Blocks in front of each Crash Tower to block B-Dama.
===Types of B-Daman===
There are four types of Crash B-Daman;
*Power: Focuses on a lot of strength behind a shot, making it easier to knock down Crash Towers. Having too much power can severely lower Rush, because of how hard it is to fire.
*Rush: Focuses on firing many B-Dama, at a very fast rate. They normally have either Roller Holds, or Balance Holds.
*Control: Focuses on hitting a specific target. They need to have a bit more power than other types to travel down the directed barrel, since normally the barrel is longer than most. The most common holds for them are either Balance Holds, or Round Holds.
*Balance: Focuses on a balance of certain types; however, on Shining Pegasus, it describes a B-Daman with Balance Holds. (Of course, this could have been just to get all four types on Shining Pegasus and Reflect Wyvern so that their combined form, Eclipse Dragon, could boast of having all types [making it a Perfect type.]) Normally have Balance Holds.
*Perfect: As opposed to Balance, a Perfect type B-Daman has a combination of all four major types.
*Revolver: Uses a .67 Revolver barrel. Has no hold parts.
*Perfect Revolver: Used to describe Ultimate Bahamut (Alpha Bahamut + Omega Bahamut). It is not a combination of Perfect and Revolver type. It is a Revolver type with a Double Synchro Grip.
==Systems==
===3 Block Gear===
3 Block Gear System is the name for the first series of Crash B-Daman. They used three "blocks", Block 1: Barrel, Block 2: Core, and Block 3: Grip. There is a slot for a server built into every grip. Along with that, there are two slots on the arms of the Core for a Crash Weapon.
*Barrel: The piece that determines how much control you have of the shot. They come in many different lengths. The longer the barrel, the higher the control, and the lower the power.
*Core: The piece that determines what type of B-Daman it is; Power, Rush, Control, or Balance. They have different hold parts that correspond with the types.
*Grip: The piece that determines how easy it is to fire, sometimes they can increase Power or Rush. They have different types of grips as well, to determine how comfortable it is to hold.
===Synchro Weapon System===
Synchro Weapon System is the name for the second series of Crash B-Daman. It enhances on the 3 Block Gear System. The Grip Block is now further advanced with a second trigger, called the Synchro Trigger. It activates Synchro Weapons Attached, allowing for a shot without using your non-firing hand. The gimmicks are more complex, like a Triple Roller Hold, or an Astral Drive Hold.
