Did you know??? MM8BDM

You can get all the weapons in MM9TOR under 25 seconds.
I actually made a WAD to tell you how much time has elapsed and what weapons are left. Here it is.
Anybody wanna try doing it quicker?
EDIT: MMBKIN under 45 seconds

Did you know the music for the credits for Version 5 comes from Mega Man IV on the Gameboy? (it starts on the "Thank You For Playing" screen)

If I recall correctly, Mike was looking for a "sad" credits theme, and that was the one I suggested

Did you know that, due to the way the talking NPCs work, standing near them, but at a different height from the NPC actor will cause that NPC to talk constantly without stopping. Some of the weird examples of this include standing on top of that large machine next to Elec Man, and standing on the waterfall behind Splash Woman

Also, did you know that, the hornets shot by Hornet Chaser have a sound effect limit? Only 3 Hornet Chaser sounds can be playing at the same time. This was because having 5 or more hornets in one place could get really loud (especially when i would fill a whole map with bees, hehehe)

Did you notice SJAS is in the game's file for some reason ? (Don't ask me why)

[CutmanMike]

He actually appears in the game too!

(I think he's already been found though)

The mail box outside Dr. Light's lab actually has two unused actor states in the curretly released version. These states are interally named "Cossack" and "CossackSnowy".

This is one of the three NES palette schemes that was adapted to MM8BDM's palette. Rockman 7 FC uses it as well.

The only bosses in the game that are not defined as monsters are Yellow Devil, Met Catcher and Met Daddy, Wily Capsule, Duo, and Evil Robot.

When fighting King, entering "Kill KingBoss" into the console can break the fight. To fix it, the player must enter "Summon KingBoss2", and the battle will continue as normal.

There's a hidden M-Tank behind the wall to the right when you start out before the award ceremony in Gamma's stage.

In honor of MM8BDM Version 6 coming out in two weeks, here's a new piece of trivia:

The image of Terra in the Version 5B title sequence is based on a card from Series 5 of the Japanese Rockman Carddass series. Here is the card it is sourced from:

And here is Molly's pixel art recreation, including Sunstar:

In Nitro Man's Stage, not only can you destroy the cars with Chill Spike, but you can do so with Oil Slider, Ice Wall, and Black Hole.

The mail box outside Dr. Light's lab actually has two unused actor states in the curretly released version. These states are interally named "Cossack" and "CossackSnowy".

I know this is an old post, but I only just noticed this one. For those of you who love random game dev trivia, I can actually shed some light on that. The concept of Dr. Cossack and CO being campaign buddies was in the works as early as v4. Originally if you walked to the road, right before you hit the invisible wall (between the fences at Dr. Light's lab) Auto would show up to give you a lift. You then would go to Cossack's Citadel where... yeah, that's kind of why it never panned out. There wasn't a practical purpose for Cossack's Citadel so it never materialized.

Anyways, that mailbox was meant for Dr. Cossack's Citadel and it's the only evidence of that whole idea still existing in the core today. Although I might still have the map prototype floating around somewhere, and maybe even the version of Dr. Light's labs that has the transition.

Since the old link is dead, here is a new one. As a bonus, here is a follow up in which Kasion (the creator of the palette) provides a new alternate palette (with an alternate version).
