MAX Mode

This feature is intended to prevent battles from going into an indefinite length after 15 turns.

After closing the 16th turn's Custom Screen, MAX Mode will occur. MegaMan's stats will be boosted to quicken the battle's conclusion: MegaMan does not flinch from attacks and his Buster attack becomes 6.

However, due to LifeAura not expiring in this game, even MAX cannot change the tides. If the opponent has no chips to remove it, the battle will become one sided or even a soft-lock if both players have LifeAura.

Operate Shooting Star

In this game, Entering the Network menu now plays the Internet theme instead of keeping the current area music the player is in. This mode uses the host, client, and lobby system seen in the Mega Man Star Force games. However, instead of both players controlling two cursors in the lobby, they control one cursor.

Final Match

The Final Match mechanic replaces BN1's MAX Mode mechanic, a reworked system with the same intention to prevent battles from going into an indefinite length.

Starting a Network Duel in OSS will display how many turns are left in the battle (starting from 15 turns). If there are no more turns, when the Custom Screen is opened, Final Match occurs instead.

The battle scenario will immediately become a sudden-death match that will determine the winner:

• Both players' HP becomes 400.
• The Custom Gauge is no longer active.
• Chip selection is erased, the only weapon is the Buster.
• All obstacles on the field are destroyed.
• MegaMan does not flinch from attacks and his Buster attack becomes 6. Any defense he has are removed (such as LifeAura).
• Battle cannot be paused.
