The information may not be complete or 100% accurate.

This is the Boktai Crossover with Mega Man Battle Network 6 and Boktai 3[1]: Sabata's Counterattack[2] (AKA Shin Bokura no Taiyoh: Gyakushuu no Sabata).

For the GBA version, a majority of the crossover is removed in North American and European game. However, a few of the content still remain. The crossover content has been restored for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. For the sake of recognizability, as much localized English terms and locations from both games will be used.

Main Game

BattleChips

There are a number of Boktai-related BattleChips that can be obtained within the game:

  • GunDelS1, GunDelS2, GunDelS3
  • (JP)(LC) Count, CountEX, CountSP
    • In GBA-EN data as HackJack, HackJckEX and HackJckSP.
  • (JP)(LC) Django1, Django2, Django3
  • (JP)(LC) CrosOver Program Advance: Django1 + Django2 + Django3
  • (JP)(LC) GunDelEX and Otenko (through Boktai Trader only)

Bat Key

Japanese version and Legacy Collection only. There is a side quest that involves Django, Otenko, and the Count. To start it, Bass must be beaten first.

Crossover Battle 2

Crossover Battle 2 is a special game mode where MMBN6 and Boktai 3 can battle each other using the Wireless Adapter (cannot use the Link Cable). This mode does not use the save data from either games, instead, all the equipment will be pre-determined. To enter this mode:

  • MMBN6 side: Make sure the Wireless Adapter is attached before the Capcom intro screen. At the Title Screen, a new Crossover Battle 2 option will appear.
  • Boktai 3 side: In the Link menu, cursor on Bike Battle, enter L L L L L R R R R R L R L R Select Start. A new Crossover Battle 2 menu will appear.

Changes from Battle Network 5

  • Disturb icons will activate immediately in real time, instead of only receiving at the start of a turn. As such, Block now stops Disturbs for an entire turn.
  • Django's Disturb icons are now tied to a Special Action tab that can be applied to any weapon, instead of a specific enchanted weapon.

Mechanics

Both MegaMan (500 HP) and Django will battle the Count (800 HP). The winner is the one who beats Count first, or if the opponent is knocked out by Count. After the battle, the players will receive Crossover Points depending on how well they did.

This mode has some special battle mechanics:

  • Disturb Icon: These icons will send distractions to the opposite player and assist the Count. The icon color decide the effect it gives. Sending multiple icons is possible, even those of the same color, which then will stack up.
  • Block: Selecting Block will prevent all Disturb Icons you receive this turn, and in the next turn, they will be returned back to the opponent.
  • BeastOut: BeastOut is a BattleChip in the Folder. MegaMan can use the chip to go into his Beast Out form. It will only last 1 turn.
  • Emotion Window: MegaMan cannot enter Angry emotion.

These are the Disturb icons MegaMan can send to Django.
