Notes

  • The run rates in this game aren’t dependent on the area, but rather MegaMan’s HP including Skill Programs and does not increase after an unsuccessfully escape. The calculation for a successful escape: % chance to run away = (MegaMan’s Max HP x 30) / (1 + sum of all enemies' current HP)
  • The game has two versions, a J2ME (Java-based) version released on i-mode, and a BREW (native) version released on EZweb. Also, depending on the company the phone is from, the sound output quality may differ.
    • In the 2005 EZweb version, HatMan's Silk Hat has a "?" symbol on it. In the 2009 i-mode version, the Silk Hat has a "H" symbol on it.
  • Ahead of the game's initial release, a free trial version was made available on i-mode which features a battle tutorial with Ms. Mari. In the full game, there is no battle tutorial.
  • The game has multiple versions of its release:
    • The main game was initially released on October 4, 2004 on i-mode in an episodic format, with Chapters 1 and 2 available at launch and a new chapter released approximately every 2 weeks. To play the game, a monthly subscription (¥315/month) was required. In addition, Request BBS jobs could be purchased for 20 BP. Players initially received 300 BP for free when signing up, and 300 BP on the 1st of every month thereafter. Later in 2005, the option to purchase additional Battler Points separately was added; 100 BP for ¥105 or 300 BP for ¥315, with a maximum of 1000 BP. Battler Points could also be used to buy phone wallpapers, ringtones and i-motion (video clips).[13]
    • On November 24, 2005, the game and the trial version were re-released on EZweb as native BREW applications. This version also requires a monthly subscription (¥315/month) to play. While Request BBS jobs did not cost BP in this version, each story chapter cost 100 BP. Wallpapers and ringtones could be purchased for 25 BP per item. This version also gave 300 BP when signing up, plus 300 BP on the 1st of every month thereafter. Additional BP could be purchased for 100 BP for ¥105 or 600 BP for ¥525.[14]
    • On November 2, 2009, the game was re-released again on i-mode, this time as a single purchase version with all chapters and Request BBS jobs included.
