Mega Man



Mega Man X Legacy Collection includes the legendary 16-bit titles and the series’ exciting foray into 32-bits: Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, and Mega Man X4. The heroic robot grows stronger as he takes down Mavericks and steals their weapons, and also has the ability to dash and wall jump for thrilling, fast-paced combat. Mega Man V is the last Game Boy Mega Man game, and the only one with Super Game Boy functionality. It's also the only one to feature all new bosses instead of recycled robot masters. The quest that needs to be completed to unlock the Palico Mega Man Armor is called A Rush of Blood. It's a 7. quest, which means you'll have to have completed Old World Monster in the New World.

Debug Content

Debug Menu

A debug mode is located in the game. Use the Game Genie codes C55-0CF-2AA+045-0DF-E6B to access it via soft-reset button combination (A + B + Select + Start). It's largely the same as the Mega Man IV menu (both games were made by the same team), with some additions.

  • C1-C4 are the crystals in the latter four Robot Masters' stages.
  • CL is the Grab Attack.
  • MH is the Magnet Hand.
  • PG is the Power Generator.
  • MSGNO displays texts by ID. When message is over, 'END' message appears on the screen.
  • NRB - unk.

Miscellaneous Debug Text

The following text seems to be for debugging purposes, but it isn't actually used anywhere. Text starts at 0x4036A in the ROM. Similar debug routines may be found in the previous version of this game.

Alternate Neptune Stage Palette

Normal Palette (Stage ID #4)
Alternate Palette (Stage ID #11)
Mega ManMan

Stage ID 11 is a duplicate of Neptune's stage's interior. The only difference is the SGB palette. This alternate palette is used nowhere else in the game.

Presumably you were meant to warp here from the exterior part of Neptune's stage, but the final version has the exterior and interior parts under the same stage ID.

Unused Music

This game contains a whopping 6 unused tracks! Unlike Mega Man IV, these don't appear to be variants on used tracks. There's also one track that's never heard in its entirety. Game Genie codes ??0-BAB-3B3 + 11D-18E-4C2 will play any song ID at the title screen.

Alternate Fanfare

Another take on the music used after Wily Star explodes. ID74

Placeholder Fanfare

This track originates from Mega Man IV, where it's used after defeating Wily. It's probably included here as a placeholder for the new fanfare. ID71

Placeholder Sting

A short dramatic sting, this is another track taken directly from Mega Man IV. ID5B

Rush Space

This track is used five times in the game (I.E. when Mega Man first goes to space, when he heads for the Wily Star, during the transition between the giant hands and Dr. Wily, during the transition between Dr. Wily and Sunstar, and during Mega Man's escape from the Wily Star), but the last 18 seconds are never heard during normal play, nor does it ever get a chance to loop. ID63

Unknown Song

A song of unknown purpose placed immediately after the alternate fanfare by ID. ID75

Unused Stage Track #1

A discarded track for a normal stage. This is sandwiched with the first four Robot Master tracks. Given its placement, and the position of Venus' final track as the last music piece by ID, this might have been the original theme for that stage. ID5F

Unused Stage Track #2

Another unused track for a normal stage, this one is placed with the last four Robot Master tracks. Given this placement, it's possible this theme was intended for a mini-stage prior to Terra's boss battle, as was the case with Punk and Ballade. In the final game, selecting Terra brings you to a one-screen arena where only the boss music is heard. ID66

Regional Differences

Title Screen

JapanUSAEurope
Mega

Grab Buster

Japan
International
  • Mercury's weapon is known as the Grab Buster internationally, but the Snatch Buster in Japan. It's possible this was done due to 'snatch' also being a slang term for the female genitalia, even though there's absolutely no risk of confusing the meaning here (and considering the weapon's function is to steal energy from enemies, the Japanese name is more accurate anyway).

Intermission Screen

Japan
International
Man
  • As per his name change, 'Right Lab' was altered to 'Light Lab' on the screen after getting a new weapon.

Miscellaneous

  • The leader of the Stardroids is named Earth in Japan and Terra elsewhere. However, his weapon, the Spark Chaser, is labeled EA (instead of TE) on the HUD and the pause menu in all regions.
  • The final boss's name was changed from Sungod to Sunstar outside Japan, presumably because of Nintendo's policies on religious content at the time.

Virtual Console Changes

Like all other Game Boy games that are part of the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, Mega Man V is locked in Game Boy mode, making Super Game Boy enhancements inaccessible.

Mega Man 10

Oddities

Mega Man

During Mega Man's final battle with Terra, there is a typo in the latter's dialogue. He says 'You fool Megaman! You have mettled with my plan for the last time.', instead of 'meddled'. Incidentally, a comma was not included after the word 'fool'. These errors were left unchanged in the 3DS Virtual Console re-release.
