Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game set in a future where society relies on portable terminals and sentient navigation programs called Net Navis, you control Mega Man as he fights against cyber threats. The premise involves protecting users from computer viruses by engaging in battles with upgraded battle chips within the digital realm. Players navigate cyberspace to investigate mysteries, destroy attacking viruses, and uncover a new evil plot threatening the Net Battlers.
Story
A Brave New Internet World
The rapid expansion of the Internet has created a new world known as the Internet Era. Everyone carries a portable Personal Terminal, called a PET. Evolved from cell phones, PETs allow users to make calls, send email, and access textbooks, newspapers, TV, and various databases.
Net Navi Utility
Every PET is installed with a humanoid navigation program known as a Net Navi. This utility acts as a butler, performing various tasks for the user within the Internet.
Virus Busting
In this sophisticated network-powered society, computer viruses remain a significant threat. To protect PETs from electronic diseases, people upgrade their Net Navis with battle program data called Battle Chips. These programs are powerful enough to destroy evil viruses, a process known as virus busting.
Story Background
It has been almost a month since Lan and Mega Man escaped the net mafia group, Gospel. After a brief hiatus, they are preparing for a new school semester. One day, while discussing a night chat group, a stranger in a huge cowboy hat interrupts them.
He invites them to the N1 Grand Prix Semi-finals at ACDC Square, promising a Grand Prize for the strongest Net Battler. Lan, Dex, Mayl, and Yai each secretly vow to win the prize and head to the square. However, they remain unaware that a new, evil plan is being hatched at that very moment.
Mega Man in Action
The Internet is a global network accessed by jacking into Lan's computer and sending Mega Man into Cyberspace. As Mega Man, you must find the boss, destroy attacking viruses, and solve the case.
•
Talk/Check (A Button): Interact with programs and investigate objects. Always check Mystery Data found on the ground.
•
Talk to Lan (L Button): Call on Lan in the Real World when stuck.
•
Run (B Button + Control Pad): Use this to move Mega Man quickly when necessary.

How to Play
Menu Options
Press START in the Title screen to display two options. Use the Control Pad to select one, and press START or the A Button to confirm your choice.
•
START - Start a new game from the beginning.
•
CONTINUE - Resume a previously saved game. This option becomes available after you have saved at least one game. See page 22 for details.
SOFT RESET
At any time you can press START and SELECT together to quit the game and return to the Title screen. Save your game often. Then, when you get stuck, do a soft reset and CONTINUE your last saved game.
LAN IN ACTION
In your quest to hunt down computer criminals, you will move between the Real World and Cyberspace. In the Real World, you control Lan. He can perform the actions below:
•
TALK/CHECK - A Button: You can talk to townsfolk by standing in front of them and pressing the A Button. Press the button repeatedly to continue the conversation to the end. You can also see details about an object by standing in front of it and pressing the A Button. If there is nothing to talk about or learn, nothing appears.
•
JACK-OUT - R Button: Retrieve Mega Man from Cyberspace back to the Real World. (Sometimes you can't jack-out.)
CYBERSPACE NAVIGATION
In some places on the Internet, Security Cubes protect the area from invaders. If other players set a Security Cube on their homepage, you can only unlock it by getting the Pass Code from the person. Some Security Cubes require you to fulfill special objectives before you can open them.
Talk to a Net Trader to enter his or her shop. Place the cursor over an item that looks interesting and press the A Button to select it. Press the R Button first if you want to learn more about it.
Net Navis gather in the Cyber Square to hang out, visit shops, read the bulletin board, and generally have fun. Check the bulletin board often for new information.
BATTLE CHIP RULES
Usually, you can only choose one chip for the next battle. An exception lets you choose multiple chips at the same time:
•
When two or more chips have the same name or chip code, you can choose some or all of them for use in battle. Chips that cannot be paired are grayed out.
•
Choosing these matching sets will help you battle more successfully.
After choosing a Battle Chip, select OK (use the Control Pad or press START) and press the A Button to proceed to the Battle screen.
ADDING BATTLE CHIPS
Sometimes the chips you want to use are not available in the Select column. This is when the ADD feature helps! Select the chips you don't want and then select ADD. The chips you selected are thrown away and you will now fight for one turn without chips. On the next turn, you get new chips for the ones you threw out. It's a chance to turn the tables by combining similar battle chips!
AREAS
On the Battle screen, Mega Man can move ▲/▷/▼/◄ into any square in the red area. Viruses can move in the blue area. Normally Mega Man can't get into the virus area, but sometimes with certain special chip attacks you can expand his attack area briefly.
ATTACKS
Your Mega Buster weapon has unlimited bullets. The closer you are to an enemy when you fire, the easier the enemy is to hit. Hold down the B Button briefly, then release it for a powered-up super shot!
Do battle by firing the Battle Chips you've chosen. The chip data appears over Mega Man's head, and its name appears at the lower left.
CUSTOM GAUGE
A Custom Gauge in the upper center of the screen builds up automatically. When it is full, press the L or R Button to display the Battle Setup screen where you can choose chips to send to Mega Man for the next attack.
Sometimes the best thing to do is run! You won't always be able to escape from battle -- the stronger the enemy is, the harder it is to run! Press the L Button to escape.
FOLDERS
Press START in the Field screen to display the Subscreen, and then select FOLDER. This shows all the Battle Chips you have available.
Your Folder is where you keep the Battle Chips you want to use in battle. In the beginning you only have one Folder, and you can freely arrange and edit the chips that you put in it. As the game goes on you will be able to carry two folders as well as a Prep Folder. You cannot edit your Prep Folder, but you can trade it by getting a different one from someone.
To equip a different Folder, select it, press the A Button, select EQUIP, and press the A Button again. The equipped Folder is the one labeled Equip.
SWITCHING CHIPS
Choose a Folder, press the A Button, select EDIT, and press the A Button again. You'll go to the Edit screen.
•
Toggle between your Pack and Folder by pressing the Control Pad ◄/►.
•
Press ▲/▼ to choose a chip, press the A Button, then choose another chip to exchange with it.
•
Press the A Button again to make the trade, or press the B Button to cancel.
CHIP LIMITS
•
You must always have at least 30 Battle Chips in your Folder.
•
You can only have up to 4 of the same kind of chip in the Folder. Even if their letters are different, chips with the same symbol are treated as the same kind of chip.
•
You can have up to 5 Mega Class chips

You can switch styles by selecting MEGA MAN from the Subscreen and performing a style change, which alters his attributes and grants special abilities.
STYLE EXAMPLE (HEAT GUTS STYLE)
