This page is a list of glitches that appear in Mega Man Star Force.

Minor glitches

Glasses of Mystery Cipher Mail oversight

MMSF1 Glasses of Mystery.png

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

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 No
North American Yes
European No

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.

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 hasn't 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 ?
