These are the glitches for Mega Man Battle Network 6.

Major glitches

Select Chip glitch

Log on a computer as a Link Navi. Replace the Regular Chip or Tag Chips with another chip in their slots. Without closing the menu, immediately enter a Network Duel, those chips will replace the original Regular and Tag Chips.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

Tornado Plus Chip glitch

When certain Plus chips is attached to Tornado and used over an elemental panel, it won’t do their intended effect and instead a different additional boost will be added.

• WhiteCapsule: Instead of paralyzing, it will double the damage in addition to the doubled attack from the elemental panel.
• Uninstall: Instead of uninstalling, it will paralyze the enemy.

This is due an oversight due to changing Tornado’s boost from dealing double the number of hits to doing double the damage instead.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

B Button PowerAttack Boost glitch

This glitch applies to the following B Button PowerAttacks:

• Slash Cross' WideSlash
• Spout Cross' BubbleShot
• TomahawkMan's TomahawkSwing
• 137-B002 Puffy (MMBN1) Mod Card's BubbleSpread

After using a chip with a "+" attack boost and no chip afterwards, their B Button PowerAttacks will gain AP equal to the boost of the chip that was used (e.g. Slash Cross base +50 boost will increase his B Button PowerAttack +50). Using another chip or the B Button attack will remove the glitch.

• This boost also applies if the chip was boosted by other attack boosters such as Attack+30, DoublePoint, Otenko, even other Cross' boosts like Charge Cross's +100 A Button Power Attack (e.g. Attack+30 plus the base+50 boost will increase his B Button PowerAttack +80).
• A x2 multiplier will not work for this glitch.

In later versions, this glitch was fixed for Slash Cross and Spout Cross, but the glitch remains for TomahawkMan and BubbleSpread.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes (but partially fixed)
European	?

Anubis progress lock

The Japanese version of the game contains a progression-halting oversight that can occur if you accept the "Self Request" Request BBS before opening the gate to Graveyard 2.

Finishing said quest requires a copy of the Anubis chip, which is obtained exclusively in Graveyard 2. However, opening Graveyard 2 requires that you obtain all Mega class chips, which includes all of ProtoMan's chips; but to fight ProtoMan SP, you need to have finished the bottom 25 quests on the Request BBS. Once you've accepted the Self Request BBS quest, you cannot complete any other quests until you finish it, which you cannot do if Graveyard 2 is inaccessible, so the quest becomes impossible to complete normally.

To get out of this situation, the player must trade a ProtoManEX and ProtoManSP from another game. If they cannot trade, the only remaining option is to try and get ProtoManEX from the Green Town Chip Trader Special, and get ProtoManSP from Graveyard 1 Gold Mystery Data.

In the English version of the game, this is not an issue since you don't need the M Comp mark to get to the Anubis PMD.

Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	No

A Button PowerAttack Carryover glitch

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Add more details about Slash Cross, mention differences in Slash Beast, test other beast forms, mention None chip into Beast Out interaction, investigate further in general

There is a period where the charge of an A Button PowerAttack can be passed on to any chip. Release the charge while it is being buffered (i.e. the attack won't launch until MegaMan finishes moving), then immediately open the Custom Screen. Select any chip (even dimming chips) and that new chip will be used in the next chance MegaMan gets to launch a chip. The chip will obtain the added ability of that A Button PowerAttack.

This works with:

• Slash Cross: This will transform the chip into a special attack depending on the chip. Some chips may crash the game.
• Elec Cross: The chip will cause paralysis.
• Ground Cross: Rocks will fall when the chip is used.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

ElementTrap glitches

Double ElementTrap lock

When both sides have an ElementTrap chip active, then if 1 player uses an elemental dimming chip and the other player cuts in their own elemental dimming chip, both ElementTraps will attempt to trigger at the same time and the battle will soft-lock. The game will require a reset.

Applies to:
Japanese	?
North American	Yes
European	?

VDoll ElementTrap lock

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Investigate whether port priority matters.

When you set up a ElementTrap and the opponent has placed a VDoll on the field, if the opponent triggers your ElementTrap and hits their VDoll at the same time, the battle will soft-lock. The game will require a reset.

Applies to:
Japanese	?
North American	Yes
European	?

Cross Weakness ElementTrap glitch

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Investigate further.

To achieve this glitch:

1. P1 sets up an ElementTrap.
2. P1 uses an dimming chip that removes the Cross of P2. P2 uses a dimming chip that triggers ElementTrap (Fire, Aqua, Elec, or Wood element). The chips should be used consecutively in a cut in. The order they are used does not matter.

After the screen-dim ends, ElementTrap will activate on the player, but the Cross loss animation will cancel out the screen-dim effect, and ElementTrap will happen in real time. Multiple factors such as port priority, objects on the field which can cause screen-dim (e.g. Guardian, V-Doll) activating, and ElementTrap activating on the Cross loss player's side can affect the success of this glitch. Or even cause different glitch effects.

While ElementTrap is activating in real time, dimming chips used will function in real time. It is possible for multiple screen-dims to play in real time if they are used in succession before all active screen-dims completely resolve. Under certain conditions, using dimming chips during this period can cause a softlock. It is also possible to open the Custom Screen and pause while a dimming chip is playing out in real time.

North American	Yes
European	?

B Button PowerAttack Invisible glitch

This glitch applies to Mod Cards that gives the B Button PowerAttack Invisible: 137-A008 Shadow and 137-B012 Momogra

When you use an attack (even abilities such as Shield), its attack parameters won’t be cleared before writing the time period of the Invisible PowerAttack. So the Invisible duration will partially inherit how long it lasts depending on the last attack. The RollingLog series and WideBurn Program Advance series provide an incredibly long Invisible period.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes (but inaccessible)
European	?

ChargeShot Addition glitch

When Mod Cards with the "ChargeS Addition" ability is paired with "B PwrAtk: Default ChargeS", the ChargeShot Addition ability's chance of activation becomes 100% instead of a random chance.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	?
European	?

AntiRecovery Dimming oversight

Normally the trigger of Trap Chips cannot be cut in. However, if a dimming chip (e.g. Roll) triggers AntiRecovery, the triggered AntiRecovery can be cut in to. If a non-dimming chip triggers AntiRecovery, it cannot be cut in to.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

HackJckSP BattleChip oversight

In the NA/EU versions of the game, the content of the CountSP BattleChip was removed. However, they forgot to remove the CountSP reward from a Gold Mystery Data in Graveyard. So it is possible to obtain this chip in the NA/EU game legitimately under the name “HackJckSP”. The chip will have no chip image and attempting to use it in battle will crash the game (jumps to address 0x0000000).

Applies to:
Japanese	No
North American	Yes
European	?

Minor glitches

Visual Errors

HeatMan Throwing error

In HeatMan's throwing animation, his sprite's fire overlay animation doesn't line up.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

ProtoMan Null Mode glitch

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Old sample. Redo and rewrite.

When ProtoMan performs his Trance Move attack and collides with anything, it disables his collision until he reaches a new panel. But with Poison Pharaoh out on the field, the smoke makes contact first. He then loses collision and cannot move to another panel to get back. This is remedied with him doing the attack again with the PoisonPharaoh gone from the field.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

LittleBoiler glitches

SunMoon LittleBoiler glitch

Using Sun Moon on a LittleBoiler causes the value on the LittleBoiler to disappear. Afterwards, the Kettle sprite spawns on all sorts of attacks, chip attacks, enemy attacks, etc.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

Dust Cross LittleBoiler glitch

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Kettle glitches

Kettle Bubble glitch

If the Kettle that can only damaged by fire attacks is bubbled, then struck with a Thunder attack, it will glitch up the Kettle for a short period, It continuously pop the bubble multiple times and have the confused visual.

In later versions, the Kettle cannot be Bubbled.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

Kettle Simultaneous Delete

If a Navi gets deleted by a Kettle virus' last ditch attack, the Navi still wins the battle and returns to the Field Screen with 1 HP intact.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

RareBox Encounter error

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

Does this unlock WindBox in the Virus Battler if the BattlerCard is obtained later?

In the Japanese versions of the game, the RareBox virus appears in Mr. Weather Comp 1 even if the player has not yet obtained the BattlerCard and deleted 16 WindBox species viruses.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

Buster Bug Very Tired oversight

When MegaMan is in Very Tired emotion, his Buster attack becomes LV1. However, the ChargeShot from Buster Bug remains the same Attack Level from before becoming Very Tired.

In later versions, ChargeShot attack becomes LV1 as it should.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

Cross Weakness oversight

If a Cross is hit with their weakness at the same frame their HP is being reduced by another attack of another element, the Cross form will not get removed. This can be more easily seen with the PoisonPharaoh Program Advance, as it drains HP every frame.

Applies to:
Japanese	?
North American	Yes
European	?

Trap Damage Override glitch

If a ???? trap is triggered but the attack has not yet activated, the trap’s properties can be replaced by using a new trap chip. The previous trap chip will fire but obtain the properties of the new chip (attack power, status effects). If the trap is removed by a Cursor attack before it activates, it will still go on but with 0 attack power.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

Beast Lock-On glitch

When the AntiDamage trap is active and Beast Out MegaMan uses GunDelSol, it won’t wait until the attack finishes and instantly activates instead. If AntiDamage is triggered when MegaMan is moved due to lock-on with GunDelSol, MegaMan won’t snap back to the panel he was on before the lock-on. His new positioning will become the lock-on panel. With this, MegaMan can become stuck on the enemy side of the battlefield.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

Pavilion Comp Wall quirk

File:MMBN5-PavilionComp3Wall.png

In Pavilion Comp 3, if you run to the right against a path on the top-right of the cloud map, MegaMan will go slower than normal. This is due to the wall collision being made two-sided.

Applies to:
Japanese	?
North American	Yes
European	?

MeteorKnuckle Final Hit quirk

The MeteorKnuckle chip immediately ends its dimming just as the final knuckle lands. In Network Duel, if an opponent sets up an AntiDamage or a Barrier chip and you cut in with MeteorKnuckle, the opponent defense will set up right before the final knuckle lands. That final hit will instantly remove that defense before the defense chip’s dimming has a chance to end.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
European	?

Heady HP glitch

If you lower a Heady's HP via CopyDamage or LifeSynchro while its head is protruding outwards, then deal enough damage to delete before it fully retracts, its HP will underflow to ~65,000 HP.

This occurs because when the Heady virus attacks, it spawns a new object with the same HP as the Heady virus. This new object updates both its HP and the virus's HP whenever it receives collision damage. However, the game only checks if collision damage will delete in accordance to the object's HP and not the virus's HP. By lowering the Heady virus's HP via CopyDamage or LifeSynchro it is possible to desynchronize these two HP values. Underflow will then occur if the attack deals more than what it requires to delete as the game thinks the attack was not lethal, since it uses the HP value before CopyDamage or LifeSynchro was used.

In later versions, the game will also check if underflow occurs on the virus's HP.

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	No
European	?

Losing Beast Out Off Field glitch

In Network Duel, this can only occur to Player 2 on the Link Cable (Client on Wireless Adapter) on the turn they are about to lose Beast Out. MegaMan needs to be hit by an attack that knocks back (e.g. GrabBanish, WindRacket) and while in the slide, open the Custom Screen. If MegaMan doesn't transform when the Custom Screen closes, MegaMan will keep on sliding and go off screen. There is no way to hit the MegaMan. MegaMan will return to the battle field if he turns into a Cross.

Applies to:
Japanese	?
North American	Yes
European	?

Full Synchro Extra Attack quirk

Usually, the extra attacks from chips have their own set attack value and cannot be boosted by Plus chips or Full Synchro’s x2. However some chips’ extra attacks do get boosted:

• SlashMan chip’s Triple Edge kunais
• Gregar chip’s falling rocks

Applies to:
Japanese	Yes
North American	?
European	?

Uncompress NaviCust glitch

This section is under construction.

The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

How does it determine what NCP to bug if there's more than 1 re-uncompressed part?

This glitch can only occur if you have more than one of a NaviCust Part, since you can only uncompress if the NCP is on the list. If you place a compressed NCP, then uncompressed it, other NCPs will consider that compressed NCP on the map as uncompressed. Any other NCP touching it in its uncompressed size will be bugged, even if the square is invisible or occupied by another NCP.

Japanese	Yes
North American	Yes
