MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK TRANSMISSION =================================== By Mega Boy tommy(at)arobas.net Version 0.9 - July 1st 2003 RANT ---- Be sure you have the latest version of this file and to read everything before e-mailing me, otherwise I will ignore you. I may have missed some secret places, if so, contact me and explain me in detail. I will update my maps and give credit to the first one. INTRODUCTION ------------ What do you get when you mix MegaMan Battle Network elements with the old MegaMan NES games: A winner! This guide goes with the maps for this game. I did not thought I would be doing maps for a 2D side-scroller, but since there are many hidden areas and sprites were easy to see, I chose to do them anyway. You will find all Internet areas with their items, obstacles, etc. QUICK WALKTHROUGH ----------------- Scenario 1: Den 1 (Lan's house), Den 2, Net on Fire -> FireMan Scenario 2: Den 3 (Mayl's house), Global 1, OuterNet, Global 2 -> GutsMan Scenario 3: Garden (Yai's house) / Water Works (Subway) / Shopping (Subway) / Bank (Bus Stop) Scenario 4: Arcade (Bus Stop) / Power Plant (Subway) Scenario 5: Global 2 (Dex's house), Global 3, Old area Scenario 6: Global 3 (Lan's house), Strange Grav area Scenario 7: Global 3 (Lan's house), No Grav area Scenario 8: Global 3 (Lan's house), Zero Account Scenario 9: Global 3 (Lan's house), Dark Navi -> ProtoMan Scenario 10: Global 2 (Dex's house), OuterNet, Legendary WWW / Vacant WWW (School) Scenario 11: Global 3 (Lan's house), Undernet FOLDER & LIBRARY ---------------- In this game, you have 20 chips in your folder, no more letters, but some have restrictions.

Some names are temporary. Higsby's shop Not really a stage, just a shop Lan's house Access to Den area 1 & Global area 3 Mayl's house Access to Den area 3 Yai's house Access to Garden area Dex's house Access to Global area 2 Metroline Subway Access to Shopping, Water Works and Power Plant areas Bus Stop Access to Bank & Arcade areas School Access to Vacant WWW area STAGES & BOSSES --------------- Den Areas (Lan's and Mayl's houses) In the area 2, you will see a glass block that can be destroyed with a piercing attack, like a Punch chip or CannBall. Right after, you will have some spikes you need to slide under, jump when you are over a free space. The third area will be completely accessible after FireMan. You can go to the last segment from FireMan's stage with some double jumps to access the secret boss. Global areas & OuterNet (Dex's house) Much like the Den areas... Net on Fire area (Den area 3 later) Some bits of this stage are like the old NES FireMan's stage in MM1. Be careful on the falling blocks and do not fall in the lava. Boss stategy: Use Bubbler, Aqua Sword and the DreamSword1 PA combo. Slide under FireMan's flamethrower. GutsMan (via Global area 2) Boss stategy: Use Invis1 and Recov chips. Jump at any GutsMan's attacks. NeedleMan (Yai's house - Garden areas) Quite simple stage, but be careful with the mechanical needles. Boss stategy: Use fire-based chips (FireMan). Slide under NeedleMan's attack. IceMan (Subway - Water Works areas) The second area has the disappearing blocks from the NES IceMan's stage. In the third area, you have to fight a giant boss, so prepare wide attack chips. Boss stategy: Shoot IceMan and jump over him. BrightMan (Subway - Shopping areas) This stage is pretty easy, just take your time with the lasers. Boss stategy: Shoot BrightMan to lower his shield, then immediately use a TreeBomb. QuickMan (Bus Stop - Bank areas) Argh! The killing lasers are back from MM2! Check the maps and try to figure out the best way out of this place. Boss stategy: Slide under QuickMan as he get close. Use Invis1 chips. ColorMan (Bus Stop - Arcade areas) There is a funny pinball-like place in the second area. There is also a secret warp that leads to a slot machine with prizes. Boss stategy: Attack ColorMan's head. ElecMan (Subway - Power Plant areas) This time, you will travel on high voltage wires, just be sure not to touch the wires and the ground at the same time. (Just kidding ;) Boss stategy: Shoot ElecMan, slide away, turn and attack for real. Repeat. SwordMan (Old area via Global area 3) Keep the rythym and the swords will not touch you. Boss stategy: Slide away at any attack. GravityMan (Strange Grav area via Global area 3) Some blocks are multiplying the gravity there: the dark ones two times and the light ones four times. In the second area, the gravity will be reversed, try not to jump too high when crossing the bands. Boss stategy: Aim at his head. Jump at the ceiling or floor when surrounded. StarMan (No Grav area via Global area 3) Low-gravity area, have fun. :D Boss stategy: StarMan teleports often, do not give up. Zero Account (via Global area 3) Only one area there, but that's enough. Boss stategy: Shoot, slide under Zero, turn and attack. PharaohMan (via OuterNet area - Legendary WWW areas) Many traps there, just keep on your toes. At the end of the first area, there is a little dog that can be defeated with 10 hits. After five times, a new dog will appear with 150 hits! It will give you the PopUp Battle Chip. Boss stategy: Destroy the Anubis statues as soon as you can if they appear. ShadowMan (School - Vacant WWW areas) The first area has some bolts platforms with holes in the middle, be careful. The second area will remind you of the NES GutsMan stage with the flipping platforms, jump at the last moment. Cross the subway gates in the good direction or ghost will attack you. Boss stategy: Be stealty as a ninja: use Invis chips. ProtoMan (Undernet warp via Global area 3) Boss strategy: Same as Zero. Using Invis chips helps. Last Boss (Undernet via Global area 3) You need powerful elemental attacks (100+) to defeat the Bits with their auras. Do not destroy the Aqua Bits, their ice blocks help you reach items. The warp is a point of no return, so if you want to save all the items you got there (there are a lot of them), jack-out before the warp and return after. Do not be afraid to use all your chips against the first boss, they will return right after that battle. Boss stategy: Destroy one of the cannon so the lasers stops, destroy the other, then take care of the giant beam. Don't panic. Next, you will have to fight most of the previous bosses one right after the other, so prepare a good deck. Do not worry if you die, you will continue with the last boss you fought. Again, all your chips will be resplendished after for the final battle. Boss stategy: Use attacks with an attack of 100 or higher to take down the aura. ITEMS AND OBSTACLES ------------------- Here is a short description of every icon you'll find on the maps. Zenny: Currency in the MMBN world. They are red, silver and gold ones. Mystery Data: Those crystals are found in the cyberspace and contain zennies, items or Battle Chips. There are four kinds: Green: Random items that return each time you jack-in. Blue: One-time item. Purple: One-time locked item. You need an UnLock to get them. Yellow: One-time story-driven item. Battle Chips: They give you special attacks. Energy pellet: Refills your health. There are small and big ones. BckupChp: Adds one life to your maximum life count. Spikes: Take a big chuck out of your health. Can be lethal if you do not have much health. Security Cube: Obstacle that will prevent you of going any further, you need either a Passcode or a certain condition to get rid of them. They are represented as big grey blocks marked "LOCK" Warp: A teleporter that will transport you to another area. Dash icon: Shows a place where you have to use the Dash chip. DoubJump icon: Shows a place where you have to use an DoubJump chip. Cyberbars: You can hang and travel on them by pressing UP. Number blocks: Shows the order of appearance of the vanishing blocks. Conveyor belt: Some move slowly, but others speeds up. Rotating bolt: A small round platform that rotates. GENERAL TIPS AND STRATEGIES --------------------------- - It is a personal preference, but when installing Buster Up, fill Attack, Charge, then Rapid. - You can stop a slide by jumping. - If you are sliding toward an edge, you can jump after the slide, this can be VERY useful! - You can also jump on a platform directly above you if you get on the very edge and turn back as you jump. - Many places might look like you need to use a DashAtk or DoubJump, but most of the time, it's not the case. Check the maps to be sure. - The Invis or Dash chip can be useful if you want to get though spikes. - The Repair chip replaces the fallen blocks. - In a battle, don't panic, and use the "Standy" button often to switch Battle Chips. - While on a wire, always press "UP", you will not fall if knocked off. - Try to recognize an enemy by the sounds it makes. - The faster you delete an ememy, the better the reward. - Do not give up, the bosses may be difficult at first, but as strange as it could seem, the bosses will get easier as you progress. If you are stuck, collect and buy as many upgrades as you can, use PA combos, etc. - Remember the element loop: Water -> Fire -> Wood -> Elec -> Water. This applies also to your armor, so be careful. - Enemies return if you get far enough and turn back, so filling the maximum capacity of Battle Chips can be easy. - Your normal shots go farther than the screen edge, so use that to your advantage. - Try to have a balanced folder with shots, swords, bombs, recovery and Navis. - You should buy as many Unlocks as you can before entering a new stage. - If you collected many items in a stage, you might want to jack-out and save before fighting the boss. Just to be on the safe side. - Wait until you have the chips you want and to have a full custom meter before entering a boss room. To be sure to have the chips you want, use up all the others. :) - You can slide between bosses legs without getting hit. :) - If you want a cheap, easy victory, use the Z-Canon PA to beat most of the toughest enemies. - Even if you use up all of one chip, you can still have more by collecting the chip again from the enemy. For example: Let's suppose you used up all your "Cannon" chips and you collect one other from a Cannon enemy, you will be able to use it once more, even if you reached the maximum limit of that chip. - Strange fact that needs to be confirmed: Some power-ups can be either bought or found. For example, if you buy a HPMemory in a shop, a specific one will dissappear from an area if you did not get it. I noticed that when I did not find a specific crystal in QuickMan the first time I got there. *** Spoiler *** - There is a secret boss in Den area 3. You can access its warp if you have all the Navi chips. Don't be fooled by its energy meter, it is not accurate. ================================================================================ Usual stuff ----------- V 0.8 Updates: - First version that contains: This guide and maps. Some item and obstacle locations. Description of the items and obstacles. V 0.9 Updates: - Missed some little things here and there... - Put the good set of sprites in Global area 3 - Added remaining items. - Converted the Japanese names to English. V 1.0 Wish-list: - Add location of each Battle Chips. For those who are interested to know, I have made those maps with MS-Paint with 10X10 pixels sprites. Those maps are copyrighted (2003) to MegaBoy. You can put them on your web site, unmodified and with proper credit but contacting me would be appreciated to keep track and to send you updates when new versions are available.
