Mega Man Battle Network 6 is the sixth and final installment of the Mega Man Battle Network series from Capcom. As with the previous three installments of the series, the Japanese edition was released in two separate versions: Dennōjū Falzer and Dennōjū Glaga. The North American releases are titled Cybeast Falzar and Cybeast Gregar. Battle Network 6 marks the end of the Game Boy Advance Battle Network series, as shown in the ending. After the credits, it reads "Mega Man Battle Network END". Keiji Inafune has stated in an interview that EXE6 is indeed the final game in the series. However, another Battle Network game for the Nintendo DS has been revealed, although it does not appear to continue where Battle Network 6 ends. After awhile Japan re-released these games in special combo packs with a special coloured version of the EXE6 Battle Chip Gate, or "Beast Link Gate." This special combo pack was called Rockman "EXE6 Beast Link Gate DX Edition" and contained a special Blue "Glaga" version of the Beast Link Gate and one of the game's two versions.

[edit] Story
At ACDC School as Lan and friends prepare to start a new year, Ms. Mari, the teacher, announces bad news: one of the students is going to leave to another school. Dex asks Lan if he knows who it is but Lan remains silent. However, Ms. Mari calls him to the front of the class and Lan admits that it's him that's leaving. His father just got a job at Cyber City and he has to move. The entire class goes to Dex's house to see him off. Mayl quietly laments on how she would have loved to remain together with Lan, but bursts into tears before she can elaborate on her feelings. Everyone promises to use the internet to remain connected as Lan's father and mother appears and they take the Metroline to Cyber City.
[edit] Cyber Academy Arc
As Lan arrives at Cyber City, Megaman suggests that they take a moment to look around. As they talk to the locals they spot a girl being attacked by a robotic dog. Lan quickly jacks into the dog and reminds himself (as a tutorial) how to netbattle. After deleting the viruses the girl politely thanks Lan before walking off. Lan takes a second to wonder who she is before going back home. Lan's father tells him that his PC is now connected to the internet, to which Lan decides to check out the new internet. After noticing that area 3 of the net is closed, Megaman suggests going to bed.
True to form, Lan is almost late to school. As he rushes past Cyber Academy gates, a bunch of security robots attacks Lan. Also true to form, Lan decides to stand and fight. Someone begins to talk through the loud speaker, noting that he was impressed with Lan's bravery. In the teacher's lounge the man introduces himself as Mr. Mach, who is also his teacher. In class Lan admits that he's nervous since he doesn't know anybody but Megaman comforts him, saying that as he needs to do is be nice to everyone. He decides to test this out on a nearby student, Mick, who immediately brushes him off. Put off and confused, Lan takes his seat. During virus busting class, Mick challenges Megaman to defeat the virus. The teacher notes that the virus released was way too much for a student too handle, but Megaman defeats it with ease. Mr. Mach reprimands Mick for loading such a strong virus into the machine and praises Lan for defeating it, much to the dislike and frustration of Mick. Afterwards, Mr. Mach introduces an advance in Navi Technology, the CopyBot. Once a Navi is jacked in, the CopyBot takes on the appearance of the Navi. Lan decides to try it out and jacks in Megaman. Lan is in disbelief with Megaman standing in front of him. He believes he's dreaming and asks Megaman to pinch him, becoming annoyed when Megaman pinches too hard.
Meanwhile Mick berates his Navi for having never winning a NetBattle while Mick's navi berates him for having poor NetBattling skill. Eventually Mick's Navi becomes fed up with Mick and leaves. As Mick blames Lan for his troubles a new Navi, BlastMan, appears in his PET. BlastMan promises to help Mick get back at Lan, to which Mick agrees and joins up with him.
Back in class, a group of GuardBots storm the classroom and unleashes blasts of fire. Mr. Mach pledges to stop the GuardBots but is immediately knocked out. Lan attempts to leave the room but he can't get past the heat of the flames. Lan decides to use the CopyBot since MegaMan is immune to the heat. Grabbing a pale of water from a nearby student, Megaman splashes the GuardBots, causing them to short circuit. MegaMan goes back into the PET and Lan heads to the teacher's lounge. Mick tells BlastMan that he's gone too far and should stop. BlastMan states that he'll do whatever he wants and continues to assault the teachers using the GuardBots. Lan jacks into the main computer only to find that the entire is area is under attack by flame viruses and the programs controlling the school are on fire. Using a watergun extension, Megaman puts out the programs, stopping the GuardBots and freeing the staff. As Megaman proceeds to the next area he is suddenly surround by flames, completely immobilizing him. Lan orders Mick to tell him how to stop BlastMan. Mick says he doesn't know how since BlastMan is acting on his own. Lan decides to use Mick's Navi to start the sprinkler system, but Mick's Navi is nowhere to be found. Eventually Lan finds him on one of the computers, but Mick's Navi refuses to cooperate since he was still mad at Mick. But when Mick catches fire, he immediately starts the system, putting out the flames in the teacher's lounge. The sprinkler has the same effect on the net, freeing Megaman from the flames. Once Megaman saves the rest of the programs, he goes on to confront BlastMan, who is defeated. BlastMan complains about how someone was going to lecture him before finally jacking out.
As the situation ends, everyone considers Lan and Megaman heroes, especially Tab who calls Lan Mr. Hikari (much to Lan's annoyance). Mick, as a thank you, gives Lan some "graffiti" art. In truth, it's a map to where the key is to Central area 3's door. Upon finding the key, Lan and Megaman finds a huge crater in the center of the area. And across the crater are monuments to the "Cybeasts". As the story goes, the two beast had a power struggle some time ago. Gregar, with the power to shake the net with a roar and fangs that ripped apart many programs, and Falzar, who blew away everything with blasts of wind and talons that destroyed everything, decimated a very large portion of the net. Eventually they came to a standstill in CentralArea 3, where they were captured and imprisoned in the crater. After reading the plaque on the statue Lan's Mom reminds Lan that it's time to go to bed.
[edit] Aquarium Arc
Lan's father, Yuchiro, walks into a large office and is meets with a suited man revealed to be Kain, the mayor of Cyber City and principal of Cyber Academy. Mayor Kain inquires about a certain program that Yuchiro built. Yuchiro tells that he only brought part of the program, stating that it's too dangerous to bring the whole thing. However, the part he did bring would be capable of supporting the net even if it increased 30 times in size. Content, the mayor ends the meeting.
In school Mick is, once again apparently, late for class. As Mick rushes in he is followed by a penguin, which Mick and Lan confuse for a pelican. As class ends, the penguin begins to squack obnoxiously. Lan decides to get some fish for the penguin in hopes that it will appease it. He asks the biology teacher who refers him to the student aid, then the student aid who refers him to his grandfather. After getting the fish to the penguin, Lan and Megaman decide to check the BBS for information as to where the penguin came from. After being briefly distracted by a broken pipeline, NetQuakes, and catching up on some battle techniques, they end up in the Seaside Aquarium. But as they walk up to the aquarium they see BlackBeard, a scruffy pirate-like person, complaining about being fired. The penguin hides behind Mick and Lan at the sight of him. When BlackBeard left and Lan tried to enter they find out that the aquarium is closed, and the penguin would have to spend the night with Mick (which irritated him to a high degree).
The next day, Lan is late to meet Mick and the penguin at the aquarium. Mick complains as Lan picks on him, saying he's beginning to look like a penguin. Inside the Aquarium, the director gives Lan and Mick free passes into the aquarium for returning Plata, the penguin. As they look around the aquarium and taking part in the show, which Mick calls stupid, they decide to leave. However Mick decides he doesn't want to say goodbye to Plata, claiming that it isn't his style. But as they enter the LevBus, chaos erupts in Seaside Town.
All of the animals in the aquarium have been released into the area. Lan worries that if the alligators get out there could be trouble, while Mick rushes off to save Plata. Lan finds Mick in the aquarium holding off the alligator with a broom, while the director is stuck in a cage with an alligator. The director explains that if Lan were to hack into the main computer and ring the feeding time bell as loud as possible, then the animals would go back in their cages since they were trained to do so. As Lan trys to find a way to the main computer, he finds the door is blocked by an elephant seal. Remembering that the seal loves to play with it's ball, he decides to look for it, only to find it at the bottom of a jellyfish infested pool. Megaman suggests finding another way and as they leave the aquarium they find the girl that Lan saved at the beginning of his move to CyberCity. Outside, she points out a CopyBot in the middle of the plaza. Megaman, now in a CopyBot, jumps into the pool and grabs the ball with ease, since his robotic body is immune to the jellyfish's stingers. Now with the way clear, Lan confronts BlackBeard in the main computer room. BlackBeard's tells his reasoning for releasing the animals at the aquarium, to make the "best show ever". Disgusted, Lan jacks into the main computer, only to find all the animal programs out of place and surrounded by sharks. After putting all the animal programs back and unlocking the seal protecting DiveMan, Megaman goes to delete him. With the feeding time bell ringing, Lan goes to check on the situation. All the animals are back in their cages, but Mick was captured by BlackBeard. BlackBeard demands that Lan release the animals, stating that it'll ruin his standing with the "organization". Before he can elaborate, the elephant seal, Plata, and a group of penguins attack BlackBeard, knocking him out.
BlackBeard is arrested, and it is revealed that BlackBeard was abusing the animals before he was finally fired. Mick and Lan try to leave, but Plata refuses to let go of Mick. Mick yells that he sees BlackBeard and as the penguin runs to hide, Lan and Mick run away back to Central town. Lan sees Mick's sadness at having to leave Plata, though Mick refuses to admit it. They agree that they'll go back to the aquarium next time they have a chance before going home.
[edit] Rise of Beasts Arc
A dark Navi tells an unseen person that BlackBeard was captured. The person however doesn't care, stating that the whole situation was just a stunt. He does however become curious upon finding that Lan Hikari and Megaman were the ones who stopped him, stating that it was fate that they moved to Cyber City, suggesting that whoever it was already met Lan. He gives Yuika an order to revive "them" before the meeting closes.
The next scene opens up to Megaman running from something on the net. He stops, however when he is suddenly confronted by Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar. As they move in to destroy Megaman, Lan cries out to him before the screen goes white. Lan was sleeping in class and had a nightmare. Mr. Mach, unsympathetic to Lan, gives him detention and an assignment to write 30 vocabulary words, 100 times each. As they go to give Mr. Mach their work they are surprised to find that he has a new teacher. Mr. Match in Gregar version or Shuko in Falzar version.
[edit] Mr. Match and HeatMan
Once Lan recognizes Mr. Match he immediately demands to know what he is up to. Match replies that he is a student teacher in college and offers to teach Lan how to effectively use fire. Though suspicious, Lan accepts Match's offer and goes to get his books from class. As he gets there, he finds the pink haired girl that helped him at the aquarium. After going on about how you shouldn't take fish from where they belong, she introduces herself as Iris. The two begin to talk when Match calls Lan, telling him to hurry up. Iris quietly allows Lan to go. In the research Lab, Mr. Match begins to explain the Link Navi system to Lan. As a test, Match tells Lan to destroy a group of virus he set loose in the Central Area using only fire techniques. After passing the test, Match challenges Lan to a duel with HeatMan. After Megaman defeats HeatMan he inadvertently absorbs HeatMan's abilities, creating HeatCross. After explaining the CrossSystem he lets Lan go. After that point, Lan is free to NetBattle and use HeatMan whenever he wishes.
[edit] Shuko and SpoutMan
Lan immediately recognizes Shuko from the NetBattle tournement they took part in during Megaman Battle Network 4: Blue Moon. Shuko offers to teach Lan how to use SpoutMan (formally known as AquaMan). After going to class to get his books and meeting Iris, Lan goes to be taught be Shuko. Before teaching him however, Shuko needed to take care of her part-time job. After having his feelings hurt by the manager, SpoutMan begins to cry (which just like in Battle Network 4, causes the net to flood.) As the flood waters grow, the fish in the cyber aquarium begin to escape, at which point Lan helps out by catching all of the loose fish and draining the water. The crisis is contained and Shuko is consequently fired for starting the situation in the first place. As the test continues, Shuko challeges Lan to a NetBattle to which Lan wins. As a reward Shuko hands over SpoutMan as Lan a LinkNavi and gives Megaman the ability to CrossChange using SpoutMan's power.
However, WWW has returned and is causing trouble that not even the Official NetBattlers can control, so MegaMan decides to investigate. Here, MegaMan discovers that the Cybeasts Falzar and Gregar have something to do with a mysterious conspiracy. When a WWW navi captures one of the Cybeasts, MegaMan captures the other Cybeast and gains the "Beast Out" ability. Now armed with Beast Out, Lan and MegaMan must fight WWW and stop whatever they're up to. At first it seems that Baryl (Barrel) and Colonel were the culprits of the conspiracy, but later in the end he admits that he was working for Dr. Wily himself. Dr. Wily raised Baryl when his own father was off fighting in a war, and in his kindness for Baryl, he was distracted from his plans for revenge of the Net society. He also created Colonel, the "perfect navi" who had the ability to feel kindness and had powers of machine manipulation. However, once Baryl's father, his only true friend was killed in battle, Wily began to feel the past thoughts of revenge and modified Colonel to become a military grade Navi. The other programs were modified into a separate Navi named Iris. She was to be a military control Navi, until she met Lan, who showed her that humans were not bloodthirsty killers. As a precaution, Wily planted a program forbidding these Navis to merge by having then explode if they were ever to do so. To hatch his latest scheme to destroy the Net and the world, he built 2 enormous Copybots and installed the Falzer and Gregar Cybeasts in it...until Baryl decided what was truly right and began to battle Falzar/Gregar (depending on which version). MegaMan also began to battle the other Cybeast, until in a twist, the Cybeast took over MegaMan's body once again. Colonel and Iris began the risky merging, and with their heightened powers they ripped the Cybeast from MegaMan's body. However, instead of separating, they planned to sacrifice themselves to destroy the Cybeasts once and for all. With this, Wily regained his repressed kindness, and atoned for his crimes, and became a good person again. Baryl lived on to deliver Lan Iris's copybot at his graduation. After the credits, the game shows us the world after 20 years. Dr. Wily, now a good person, has designed new incarnations of Colonel and Iris. Iris is a program that finds problems in the net and fixes them while Colonel automatically searchs out viruses and criminals and deletes them. Dex became ACDC Town's mayor, Yai became the president of her family's company, and Chaud became the leader of a group of world wide officials. Also, Lan Hikari, now a scientist, is revealed to have married Mayl . They have a son named Patch (Raito).

[edit] Cross System
Succeeding the Soul Unison system, the Cross System is introduced in Battle Network 6. Although similar to the preceding system in Battle Network 4 and 5, Crosses can last for the entire duration of a battle without utilizing the three-turn limit and be activated without a sacrificial chip. Upon finishing an ally Navi's mission and battle, MegaMan will gain the Navi Link to that partcular Navi, thus enabling a Cross between MegaMan and the corresponding Navi. There are 5 Crosses per game, and each has an element with attributes to the linking Navi. However, if MegaMan is hit by an element that he is weak against, he will instantly take double damage and revert to his normal state. While in a Cross, Megaman cannot achieve Full Synchro or enter a rage.
[edit] Falzar Crosses
- Aqua/Spout Cross - Aqua element. Weak against Electricity, strong against Heat. Charge Shot is Bubble Shot with 20 + (Buster damage x 10) damage which also inflicts damage behind the initial impact. Non-time-freezing aqua chips can be charged for double damage and 5% HP recovery. MegaMan will not slip on ice panels. Aqua/Spout Beast's special attack is Aqua Spiral, an aqua-based tornado that inflicts damage up to five times.
- Tomahawk Cross - Wood element. Weak against Heat, strong against Electricity. Charge Shot is Tomahawk Swing with 40 + (Buster damage x 20) damage, which cuts in a LifeSword range after a slight delay. Non-time-freezing Wood elemental chips can be charged for double damage. MegaMan is unaffected by status ailments (blinding, paralysis, confusion etc.) and has the ability to slowly regenerate HP on grass. Tomahawk Beast's special attack is Wing Boomerang, which launches two wings in a boomerang-like fashion.
- Tengu Cross - Wind element. Weak against Swords, strong against Cursor-types. Charge Shot is Tengu Racket, with 40 + (Buster dmg x 20) dmg which sweeps in a WideSword range that blows all enemies back. Left + B causes a Fan effect, and all barriers and auras are removed. AirShoes allow MegaMan to walk over broken panels. Wind chips receive 10 damage bonus. Tengu Beast's special attack is Tengu Storm, a T-shaped vortex that reaches three panels and inflicts damage up to three times.
- Ground Cross - Break element. Weak against Cursor-types, strong against Swords. Charge Shot is Ground Drill, with 10 + (Buster damage x 10) damage, which allows MegaMan to move to nearest enemy in his row and drill them three times. Charged Breaking chips cause rocks to randomly fall onto enemy area for additional damage. SuperArmor is equipped, and Breaking chips gain a 10 damage bonus. Ground Beast's special attack is Drill Drive, a rushing drill attack that hits an enemy twice on one row. MegaMan is placed in an invincible state.
- Dust Cross - Break element. Weak against Cursor-types, strong against Swords. Charge Shot is Scrap Reborn, with 50 + (Buster damage x 10) damage, which hits the nearest enemy in MegaMan's row and breaks the attacked panel. Dust Shoot in the Custom Window allows a maximum of 5 chips to be recycled from the Window for later use. Left + B allows MegaMan to suck in obstacles and shoot them as a projectile for 200 damage. Dust Beast's special attack is Dust Shooting, which randomly shoots six projectiles on the enemy area.
[edit] Gregar Crosses
- Heat Cross - Fire element. Weak against Aqua, strong against Wood. Charge Shot is Fire Arm with 30 + (Buster damage x 20) damage which burns 3 panels ahead. Buster damage increases by 1, and Heat chips receive a 50 damage bonus. Heat Beast's special attack is Great Fire, which emits one flame in front of MegaMan and six additional fires on the back rows, similar to Gospel Head.
- Elec Cross - Elec element. Weak against Wood, strong against Aqua. Charge Shot is Thunder Bolt with 40 + (Buster damage x 20) damage which hits all panels on MegaMan's row in front of him. Electric chips gain a 50 damage bonus. Charged non-elemental chips gain a paralysis effect. Elec Beast's special attack is Big Thunder, which emits electricity in front of MegaMan and six additional sparks on the following rows. The enemy is placed in a temporary paralysis state. This also cracks panels.
- Slash Cross - Sword element. Weak against Breaking, strong against Wind. Charge Shot is Wide Slash, with 60 + (Buster damage x 20) damage which slashes at a LifeSword range, though each slash affects only one column instead of two. The nearest enemies receive greater damage from Wide Slash. Sword chips gain a 50 damage bonus and can be charged to launch a Sonic Boom. Using Sword chips increases Wide Slash damage by 50 (works only once per battle) and does not apply to Program Advances or time-freezing chips. Slash Beast's special attack is Slash X, an X-shaped sword slash on the nearest enemy. Damage is doubled at the center of the attack. Wave attack!
- Killer/Erase Cross - Cursor element. Weak against Wind, strong against Breaking. Charge Shot is Killer's Death Beam, with 40 + (Buster damage x 20) damage which pierces all enemies on the panels before MegaMan on his row. This takes a longer time to charge but the attack lasts longer, compared to Elec Cross's attack. Cursor chips gain a 30 damage bonus. Non-elemental chips cause an "instant death" effect to viruses and bugs to Navis with the digit 4 in their HP; the number four is homophonic to "death" in Japanese. Killer Beast's special attack is Killer Tail Arrow, which launches a tail attack from the air. A bug effect ensues on the enemy.
- Charge Cross - Fire element. Weak against Aqua, strong against Wood. Charge Shot is Charge Dash, with 30 + (Buster damage x 20) damage, which sends MegaMan slamming forward for 3 panels ahead. Heat chips can be charged for up to 100 damage bonus, depending on the charge time. One additional chip is rewarded in the Custom Screen after each turn. Charge Beast's special attack is Charge Bite, which first emits a howl which makes the foe unable to move then sends a copy of Gregar's head forward at the enemy.
[edit] Beast Out
Beast Out is an additional gameplay element after MegaMan encounters one of two Cybeasts. This feature can be activated by pressing the "Beast Button" in the Custom Screen. Like Soul Unison, Beast Out lasts three consecutive turns and "Emotion Points" can be recovered by avoiding usage of the power in later battles. Upon expiration, MegaMan will be in an exhausted state but can still activate Crosses. However, as a consequence, he cannot achieve Full Synchro.
Beast Out also grants all neutral-element chips an additional 30 damage bonus. They can also be charged to launch a special attack against the nearest enemy. This attack is dependent on the form MegaMan has (i.e. the basic Gregar form is a slash where the Heat beast is a flamethrower). Regardless of the cross, non-elemental (including sword, wind, etc.) chips are the only chips which can be charged. All chips, except those with no attack value or chips that cause the screen to dim, gain what has been called "Auto Target" , where MegaMan attacks enemies at a very close range. He will move from his current location to the front of the targeted virus (the closest enemy) regardless of his location, and will initiate his attack. This effect lasts in all Beast Crosses, and will be removed when MegaMan becomes tired. Despite the similarities between the two Beast Outs, the two variations possess unique abilities and different buster attacks:
Falzar Beast Out abilities include:
- AirShoes and OmniShoes (unaffected by cracked/broken and elemental panels.)
- Feather Shoot: Shoots feathers rapidly in three different directions.
Gregar Beast Out abilities include:
- SuperArmor (no recoil)
- Beast Buster: Fires a rapid and concentrated shot.
In the Japanese version, Beast Out can also be activated by using a Beast Link Gate (Japanese GBA Accessory).
[edit] Cross Beast
Cross Beast occurs when MegaMan activates Beast Out while in a Cross or vice versa. In this state, the Cross will take the appearance and abilities of the corresponding Beast Out, as well as the attributes of the activated Cross.
Cross Beast, much like a standard Beast Out, will deduct emotion points from MegaMan. It will also leave him exhausted, but will still allow him to utilize other Crosses.
[edit] Beast Over
Beast Over is mainly a desperation move when MegaMan's Emotion Points reach zero after Beast Out. In this mode, MegaMan is placed in a berserker state but gains invincibility and uses chips automatically. Once the Custom Gauge fills, Beast Over automatically ends and the custom screen opens automatically. Upon expiration, MegaMan's Buster stats drop to one and his HP rapidly drains. He is also unable to utilize any remaining Crosses nor achieve Full Synchro.
[edit] Chip-limiting system
Unlike previous versions, MegaMan Battle Network 6 now limits chips by their capacity. This has made things more balanced, and has changed many battle chips into Standard Chips, allowing players to be able to keep more Navi Chips in their folder.
[edit] Tag Chip System
Another new introduction is the Tag Chip System, which allows players to "tag" 2 chips together. Those chips will appear side by side in the Custom Screen when either one of them is drawn. This system has allowed players to access low-MB chip combos or Program Advances with ease.
[edit] Link Navis
Link Navis can be controlled by you, and have their own special chip, like MegaMan's allies in BN5. However, these Navis can go about the net freely like MegaMan, although their jack-in point is fixed.
Link Navi Charge Shots and special chip damage can no longer upgrade themselves. Instead, they are buster-dependent, giving buster-improving chips some more use. Link Navis can also get rid of obstacles that obstruct MegaMan's path, allowing him to reap rewards like mystery data containing rare items, or allowing access to netnavis with secret information.
[edit] Navi Customizer
Parts can be placed off the map, although doing so without the BugStop program on the command line will produce a bug. Also, compression codes now compress parts by more than one square.
[edit] Others
Dark Chips have all but vanished, almost all of them destroyed in the ending of Battle Network 5. This means that MegaMan can freely use the previously "dark" chips when normal. However, owners of the Japanese version can still use Dark Chips via the Beast Link Gate accessory.
[edit] Boktai removal
Due to previous Boktai titles having low sales in the US, Konami has not planned to release Shinbok (Boktai 3) for English localization. Therefore many Boktai references were removed from Battle Network 6, such as all Django and Hakushaku (The Count of Groundsoaking Blood) Chips. The battle with Hakushaku and Django's appearance is also cut out, and the "Immortal Area" was removed as well. Oddly, all of the GunDelSol chips (except GunDelSol EX) were left in. Also, the Django posters above Lan's bed was kept. While it appears that the chips have been removed entirely from the game, using a cheat device reveals that the framework of the chips still exist, and are selectable in battle (Hakushaku is labeled as HackJack). Some of the removed chips could be obtained without cheats using the YMD. However, the chips lack the avatar in the preview window, and it appears that the Boktai sprites have been completely removed from the game. The chips crash the game upon use, but if one uses the Django V1, V2, and V3 chips together, the "Crossover" program advance will still function, however Django's sprite is replaced with a glowing white dot. The Otenko chip will also work, but as it has no sprite, he will not appear on the field. GunDelSol EX also work perfectly fine, only lacking an icon. The "Crossover Battle 2" gameplay mode was also removed, but it can still be accessed through the use of a cheating device. Not enough data was left for it to be playable, however. The complete list of Boktai-theme removed chips is:
- Django
- DjangoV2
- DjangoV3
- Hakushaku (HackJack)
- HakushakuSP (HackJackSP)
- HakushakuEX (HackJackEX)
- GunDelSolEX
- OtenkoSama
[edit] Other cuts
The Area Maps that allowed for less confusing exploration in the Japanese version have been removed from the American and European versions. Also the Falzar/Gregar Giga class chips were removed. However, the mega chip DublBeast is available and has no picture, but the chip still works and will not crash the game. The Area Undernet 3 and "The Graveyard" (which contained headstones that listed every Navi) were removed from the game either because of the missing Boktai content or they were too difficult to navigate. Now Undernet 2 connects directly to Graveyard 2, which has been renamed to "Graveyard".
