This page is a list of glitches that appear in Mega Man Battle Network. The DS port, Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star, did not touch most of the original base code, so the game retains most of the glitches from the GBA games.
Major glitches
Cutscene Saving
The menu can be called just as MegaMan steps on a cutscene trigger tile. If the game is saved at this point, when the game is boot up, it will start at the cutscene. This is a problem in the game's final cutscene right before MagicMan, as it will hard lock the game to eternally play the game's finale without any chance of escape.
In OSS, the MagicMan cutscene was remedied with a forced save point before entering.

Cutscene Enemy Skip
For the ColdBear and Life Virus cutscenes fights. If the menu is pulled up just as MegaMan is going in a direction and steps on the cutscene trigger, then opening folder and exiting will skip the fight and go straight into the cutscene after it. Entering and exiting the folder twice will causes a black screen, which will further confirm the glitch is occurring.
For ColdBear, Lan will be unable to move after the cutscene. Jacking in and out will regain control.

Ending Credits Trigger
Taking out a specific fire in WWW Comp 1 and going straight back to ACDC Town will trigger the game credits. This is due to that one fire sharing the same flag that triggers credits.
Finishing the credits will give the Title Screen Mark and unlock MagicManV2 as Net encounter.

DenTown Out of Bounds
If Lan walks into the bottom-right underground path object from the right in a certain way, he will walk into it. If he enters in the road, he will be able to walk out of bounds, on the road, off map, and the next area entrance. If Lan re-enter the street path, he will snapback with collisions working as normal.
If the glitch is done during Chapter 5 with the locked DenTown paths and you save in one of street areas that are supposed to be inaccessible, the game will be hard locked and you will be unable to escape.

Minor Glitches
Waterworks Crisis Music
During the final scenario, before the game is beat, the crisis music plays in all overworld areas. This includes the pump room and water purification room at Waterworks, which normally have a loud noise as background music to simulate the machinery working. The programmers added checks to exclude these two areas from the crisis music during the final scenario, but due to a glitch, it still plays. The glitch occurs due to the game checking the area and subarea values in the wrong order.

Mystery Data RNG
Due to a Random Number Generator glitch, CannBall A, which supposed to be found in a Undernet 11 GMD, cannot be obtained.
In Operate Shooting Star, the 10,000z Undernet 10 GMD that was altered into 5,000z became harder to obtain.

Missing Hurt Voice Clips
Whenever MegaMan gets hit in battle, there is a 50% chance that the game plays a voice clip of him getting hurt. In normal gameplay, the clip that it plays is always the same. However, the game's files actually contain 3 different clips (for both MegaMan): one for 1-69 damage, one for 70-139 damage and one for 140+ damage. Due to a programming error (a variable should be loaded but is stored instead), the game will always play the clip for 1-69 damage.
The correct behavior can be restored with the following Action Replay DS code:
5204E0A0 1C05B570 1206E568 00008E38 D2000000 00000000

Missing Field Shadow
After rescuing MegaMan.EXE from ClokMan and gaining control, MegaMan's shadow will be missing. It reappears once you enter a menu, go into a battle, or to another scene.

ClockMan Collision
In Battle Network 1, boss and player collisions still treat the player being a physical object on the field instead of transparent invisible. For some reason, ClockMan's collision is programmed as if he would be in Battle Network 2 and beyond. As such, attacks like Ratton go right through him after damaging him and IceCube would take longer to explode after damaging him.

WoodMan Sprite Error
