• An intro is added before the title screen.
• The menu is retooled for the DS screen.
• Some game text were altered. Many typos are fixed up.

• Voice acting is added.

Gameplay

• Running is default. Holding the B Button makes you walk.
• Jack in sequence can be skipped with Start.
• You are forced to save before fighting the final bosses. This avoids a problem in the original game where you could get permanently stuck by saving on the cutscene trigger for the final fights.
• GutsMan * can be obtained via title screen button input (Up, X, Left, Y, Right, A, Down, B). It cannot be traded to other players.

Rock Colo (Rockman Star Colosseum)

• A new mini game mode available at the title screen where you fight your friends for points or join together to take down Bass, all takes place in an overworld map. You can use the points you gained to buy chips from a Navi in Lan's HP. Bass can be unlocked as a playable character after 50 matches.
• Only VS Bass is available for single player play. The multiplayer modes require only one game cart and DS Download Play.

Battle System Changes

• Folder limits change:

BN1	OSS
Max 10 of any non-Navi chips	Max 5 of any non-Navi chips
Max 5 of any Navi chips	5 Navi chip limit, but only 1 of each chip

• Select lets you return all your chips from the folder back to the sack.
• L button give you the chance to run from the battle.
• Select lets you remove the custom screen and see the battle field.
• Dimming chips now have real time visual contact with enemy. Damage is still given after the attack instead of during the dim.
• You can now see chip codes in the Custom Screen without highlighting the chip with the cursor.
• As a result, the Custom Screen size has been reduced from 15 chips to 10 chips.
• Electrified state now has a moment of invisibility before getting shocked again.

Network

• Communications now use Host and Client system. Time-out for connecting with opponent is longer.
• You can now see what turn the battle is in during the custom screen.
• Dimming chip cut in (informally known as time freeze counter) from MMBN4 and later is added in. However, you cannot see the chip above your head while the opponent is using a dimming chip.

Mega Man Star Force

• Armor system is removed in place of the ability to switch MegaMan. Because of this, library completion is required to obtain Lv.100.
• During the ClockMan Scenario, you obtain the ability to switch between EXE and MMSF. After the scenario, MMSF will only be playable in battle and the Humor-esque program remains.
• Your buster auto-charges and only have one charge (half the strength of EXE's max charge). The X Button lets you perform a Mega Attack (lock-on). The Y Button lets you put up a shield. If you are hit while in a Mega Attack, you are flinched for an extended time
• In the internet, the virus BGM becomes Ride On from MMSF1 and the boss BGM becomes Wave Battle from MMSF2.

Stages

• Random encounter rates are decreased in all areas.
• Waterworks Comp 5 has some melted panels that tells you where to slide. Additionally, no viruses ever appear. (In BN1, the encounter rate was lower than normal.)

• Power Plant Comp has flashing lights to indicate paths. Power switch sprite is updated. Batteries now have unlimited charge, Mr. Prog just gives advice.

Enemies

• New bosses: Mega Man SF, ClockMan. Clockman V2 and V3 can be encountered in Undernet 9.
• SharkMan's fin attack is slower.
• LifeVirus' battle stage no longer has lines and disappearing holes glitch have been fixed, they now all disappear.

• Bass now has 1500 HP. You can only flinch him with a chip that deal 200 base damage, his aura disappears when he charges his buster instead of after. In exchange, his attack damage drop from 300 to 200.

BattleChip Changes

• New chips: (176) MegaManSF S, (177) ClockMan C, (178) ClockMan2 C, (179) ClockMan3 C, and event only (181) Rogue B.
  • Bass appears in Undernet12 if you have 178 different chips in your Library (in BN1, you needed 174).
• New Programs Advances:
  • DoubleMegaMan (Barrier * - FighterSword S - BusterSword S - MegaManSF S),
  • DoubleHero2 (FighterSword B - KnightSword B - HeroSword B - Rogue B).
• IronBody lasts for 15 seconds instead of 30 seconds. The damage you receive is reduced to 1/4 (rounded up) instead of 1/8 (rounded up).
• Anubis' drain speed is slower, now it's 1 HP every 8 frames instead 1 HP every 2 frames.
• Steal can't take the last row. Also, stolen area returns to normal after 3 turns.
