This page is a list of glitches that appear in Mega Man Star Force.
Major glitches
Glasses of Mystery Cipher Mail oversight
In the North American version of the game, one of the Cipher Mails triggers the censor and can't be used. This makes it impossible to receive the LibrScalsSP card from Cipher Mail. The oversight was fixed in the European version.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | No |
| North American | Yes |
| European | No |
Auto-Favorites Mega/Giga limit glitch
When the auto-Favorites function is used in the Folder edit screen multiple times in a row, on subsequent attempts the game will not properly check for Mega/Giga class cards in the bottom 15 Folder slots. This allows one to bypass the normal limit of 2 Mega or Giga Class cards for Favorites.
With RNG manipulation, as shown in the video below, it is possible to set all 6 of your Favorites to Mega or Giga Class cards.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Lunar Knights message crash
If you view a Lunar Knights Brother’s message and attempt to use a Card Trader afterwards, the game will crash.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | Yes |
Minor glitches
Card Box sorting glitch
Sometimes when all copies of a card are moved from the Card Box to the Folder, the Card Box sorting feature becomes glitched and causes certain cards to always show up at the top or bottom regardless of the sort being used. This effect is only temporary and goes away once the Folder edit screen is reloaded.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Disappearing E-mail glitch
Once you have completed all Transer sidequests, you will receive an e-mail from Legendary Master Shin titled "Congrats!" the next time you enter Echo Ridge. If you save after this, the next time you load the game, the first e-mail you received ("Class Review") will be gone forever.
This happens because the game re-counts the number of e-mails you should have when you load a saved game. However, the e-mail from Legendary Master Shin is not included in the count, possibly because it was added at a later stage in development. As a result of this oversight, the length of the e-mail list is set to 1 lower than it should be, which causes the "Class Review" e-mail to be cut off.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Double Transer quests glitch
Normally, you can only take on one Transer quest at once. However, when you speak to Zack after beating the 10 virus battle gauntlet in Piano Comp (as part of his post-game quest), when he offers to become Brothers for the first time, this unsets the flag for a Transer quest being active. As a result, you can now take on a second quest before finishing the first one. This can only be done once.
Both quests can be finished as normal. If you take on two conflicting quests (e.g. Chrys Golds and Heidi Rune), then the quest which has you talk to the other person takes priority over that person's own quest.
Records double SFX glitch
When you open the Records screen from the second page of the Mega screen, the selection SFX plays twice. This does not occur when you open the Records screen from the first page (which also has the "equip weapon" option).
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Name entry Geo mugshot glitch
The name entry screen uses specific Geo mugshots for specific messages, disregarding the story progress. This can cause the wrong mugshot to be displayed in certain situations, for example showing Geo with the Visualizer before he gets it in the story.
The following messages always show Geo without the Visualizer, even if he already has it:
- Entering a blank name.
The following messages always show Geo with the Visualizer, even if he has not obtained it yet:
- Cancel name entry.
- Entering an inappropriate name.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Event Stage wrong text box glitch
When you first visit the Event Stage during the story, an NPC will be blocking your path near the end. There is an event trigger in front of him which causes some text to show and Geo to turn back. However, it is possible to talk to the NPC object itself by placing Geo just before the event trigger with pixel perfect precision. When done, the NPC will show the wrong text box, namely one for a different NPC in the area.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Robo Snakes hit detection glitch
For two specific Robo Snakes in Robo Snake Comp 1, the hit detection does not function properly if Mega Man is standing in a certain corner.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
ShovelMan lever glitch
The first time you do ShovelMan's touch screen minigame, once you've moved the backhoe into place, it is still possible to interact with the lever even after the text box pops up. This can be done by dragging the stylus just above the text box. This only occurs the first time you use ShovelMan's Navi Card, and does not occur when you use it again later in the story or for a Transer quest.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Duplicate Snake glitch
During Prof. Snake’s Transer Quest, if you hold B then mash A to obtain the Phyton, you are able to obtain multiple of it. Once you give the snakes to Prof. Snake, Key Items will still have a copy of the Phyton item.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Andromeda visual glitch
If Andromeda is in its 2nd form and is struck with a Best Combo that has a Freeze Break combo; after the attack, its visual will momentarily become its 1st form. However it will still act like its 2nd form with its guard up.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Hertz slow down quirk
If Geo walks over the Hertz behind BIG WAVE while his Visualizer is off, he will go slower while walking over that spot.
| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
| European | ? |
Empty textbox quirk

| Applies to: | |
|---|---|
| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |

ScrapComp Sub Card quirk
If you have Cloaker or Search Eye active and attempt to use the sonar, those Sub Card items will also flash in tandem with the sonar.

| Japanese | ? |
| North American | Yes |
