Item Crash

An Item Crash is a special attack performed by player characters. They tend to be very powerful, cover a wide area of the screen, and in most cases offer the player a period of invincibility after the initial start-up is complete. Rather than MP, they use Hearts.

Originating in Rondo of Blood, they refer to powered-up attacks that make use of sub-weapons in the official Castlevania games (more about this on the Castlevania Wiki article). In Castlevania Fighter, the term is generally used for any character's "ultimate" move performed with, regardless of whether it involves sub-weapons. Some characters with multiple sub-weapons can use different Item Crashes depending on which sub-weapon is currently selected.
