This page lists items and content in the series which can be permanently missed, or becomes substantially more difficult to obtain, if not obtained by a certain point in the game.

Note: due to the Chip Trader's low odds of getting the chip you need, chips which can otherwise only be obtained through the Chip Trader are also treated as missable on this page.

Green Mystery Data

The contents of green Mystery Data vary for each difficulty. In some cases, depending on the difficulty and version of the game, green Mystery Data is the only (infinite) source of a chip code (aside from the Chip Trader).

For the chips listed below, once the player has moved on to the next difficulty, they can no longer obtain (infinite) copies of that chip, other than:

  • Chip Trader
  • Shop with limited stock
  • Chip Order using a finite source of another code
  • Version-specific virus drop

Bolded chips means the chip does not not have a * code which could be obtained instead.

Viruses

For most viruses, lower versions can be encountered even on the highest difficulty (Continue 3+). However, there are a few viruses that only appear on a specific difficulty. As a result, this may lock you out of obtaining certain chip codes, which can otherwise only be obtained (very rarely) from the Chip Trader.

Bolded chips means the chip does not have a * code version which could be obtained instead.

WaterGod Comp Gold Mr. Prog

Main page: WaterGod Comps

The WaterGod Comp can only be accessed if Lan fights Paulie as an opponent in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament. In the WaterGod Comp, a gold Mr. Prog known as the WaterGod Program has a low chance to spawn upon jacking in to the comp. It will give up to 5 rewards from a pool of 8, depending on the current difficulty. As such, certain BattleChip rewards for Game 1 and 2 can be missed.

Whether Paulie will appear in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament, and which rewards will be given by the WaterGod Program, are both determined at the start of the game. Therefore, the player has no control over this and getting the chips below is simply up to luck. Additionally, Paulie cannot appear in both Game 1 and 2.

Mystery Data

Due to the removal of Ship Comp 1 in the English GBA version of the game, a respawning location for “Thunder L” is no longer available.

Ch.3 (GBA-EN) Thunder L Gold Cloud (Oran Area 1) Chip Trader

VacuProg Key Item

Japanese GBA version and Legacy Collection only.

If MegaMan interacts with the Boktai Trader in Oran Area 2 and declines to use Crossover Points before obtaining the VacuProg Key Item in the story, it can become permanently missable. When this happens, the story will proceed as if MegaMan already has the VacuProg as soon as he enters Oran Area 1 during Ch. 3, and you can get rid of the cyberclouds as normal, but the VacuProg item won't be in your Key Items.

Once the game is in this state, it is possible to get the VacuProg after all by obtaining a chip from the Boktai Trader, which will remove the VacuProg ability; then, without interacting with the Boktai Trader again, backtrack to Oran Area 1 and talk to Mr. Prog to obtain the VacuProg properly. However, this is no longer possible once the player proceeds past Ch. 3.

This item is more easily missed in the Legacy Collection, since the Boktai Trader always appears on the Net, whereas in the GBA/NDS version, it only appears once the player has collected some Crossover Points.

Dark Chip NPCs

There are 2 certain NPCs that sell Dark Chips on the Net. If those chips are bought during Ch. 4 when the Leader Navi (ProtoMan/Colonel) is Lan's Navi, later going back to that NPC as MegaMan will give different dialogue than if MegaMan bought it.

Location If MegaMan bought it If Leader Navi bought it
SciLab Area 4
(DarkWide)		 "Thanks for helping
me out like that."
"Don't try to give
it back,either!"		 "This Navi helped me
out by buying my"
"weird-colored Wide-
Sht I didn't like
for 1000 Zennys."
End Area 1
(DarkDril - invisible path)		 "No refunds if that's
what you want!"		 "Get outta my face.
I ain't got time for
the likes of you!"

Mega Man Battle Network 5DS

In the BN5DS version of the game, some features will be skipped due to features using the W Slot function.

Mega Man Battle Network 6

Legacy Collection

Exclusive to the Legacy Collection version, there is an oversight which can cause the Virus Battler to use the wrong set of rewards. When playing on English language, the rewards given are the same as the GBA English version. However, the Legacy Collection version is based on the GBA Japanese version, which has a different set of rewards and various chips are obtained from different locations. As a result, playing on the English language can cause the player to miss certain rewards which are only obtainable from the Virus Battler.

Of particular note is the Django3 D chip, which is required for Mega Chip and Program Advance Library completion and which can otherwise only be obtained through multiplayer.
