Spread Drill (スプレッドドリル Supureddo Doriru) is Ground Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man & Bass. When equipped, the user shoots out a big drill missile, which upon pressing the FIRE Button again, will split into two smaller drills. When the player presses the FIRE button again, the two drills can then be split again into two smaller drills each for a total of four small drills. If the first drill is not split by the user, it will slowly fall down after a while, but the other drills move straight forward. Certain blocks can be destroyed with this weapon.
Spread Drill is Tengu Man's weakness; using it will make him fall down to the ground (or into a bottomless pit if he is hit by the Spread Drill over the pit, though he flies back into play regardless).
