The ONLY thing regarding a "secret" that I could even think of is something I found out about Proto Man... this doesn't explain the BJ and BC though... i do have a question about that
As Protoman, if you equip the PJ or PC, you can shoot three times with him! Albeit, it takes away his ability to do a charge shot.
About the BJ and BC... if that really is the sprite for Blues... then where is our RJ and RC? why would they include the japanese name for Protoman but not Megaman? That's kinda cheesy if you ask me
Hi Seth. You've got quite a bit of people excited about this little secret. Many people suspect that it's something that's already been discovered. Let me run through some of the secrets that we already know. The discription of this secret was very vague so I'll be running through quite a few things. That includes many obvious and not so obvious things.
Hidden Items. - There is a hidden E Tank behind the clouds on Tornado Man's stage. It's in the beginning of the raining area (after climbing up the ladder). Use Rush Coil to get it. - There is some hidden energy behind the "Dr. W" sign on Wily Stage 2. Use the hornet chaser to get it.
Weapons. - Tornado Blow allows you to jump higher. - Magma Bazooka can be charged. - Hornet Chaser will grab items (except E Tanks) when there are no enemies around. - Laser Trident passes through shields and can break destructible blocks. - Rush Jet. You can fire backwards while riding it.
Tricks - Lava beams (Magma Man's level) can be frozen solid with Concrete Shot and shattered with Laser Trident afterwards. - Mega Man will turn black when shot by the octopus robot's ink (Splash Woman's stage). Even some of Mega Man's special weapons will turn black. Pressing start will remove the ink. - If you inch Mega Man close enough to the vertical Lava beams, you'll see sparks flying off of his foot. - If you buy Roll's Mega Man 8 outfit and complete the game, she'll wear it in her ending picture. - Using the M Tank at full life and weapon energy will turn all the enemies onscreen into 1-ups. Doesn't work on bosses. - Normally, Proto Man can only have 2 shots on the screen at once. If you equip Proto Coil/Jet, you can fire 3 shots. - Pausing removes your special weapons from the screen. This allows for many tricks such as using Rush Coil and Tornado Blow together for very high jumps.
Cameos/Trivia - We see Dr. Wily's serial number (19-871-217) in the intro. It's a reference to December 17th, 1987 (the release date of Rockman in Japan). - Chun Li from Street Fighter II is the reporter in the intro. - We can see scematics of Bass on the computer screen after defeating Dr. Wily. - Fake Man resembles the generic robots from the Mega Man cartoon series.
Other - These songs were recycled from Mega Man 2. Password/Continue screen (used in the menu), Game Start (when you select a boss), Dr. Wily UFO, Dr. Wily Castle, Get a Weapon, Game Over, and the Stage Clear jingle. - The Ending song is a slow remix of the "stage select" theme from Mega Man 2. - The "Rush Jet" song is a combination of "Get a Weapon" from Mega Man 2 & Mega Man 9's shop music. - "Staff Roll" melody sounds somewhat similar to Super Punch Out's ending credits. - In Endless mode, Mega Man begins taking more damage after some point. The damage seems to increase after every 8 bosses.
I'll add some useless/obvious ones to the list, DZX:
Weapon: -A few Hornet Chasers can drop the Boulder mini boss in Jewel Man's stage with no delay -Hornet Chaser doesn't pick up the Large Life units dropped by the boss rematch (hence why "Mega Diet" doesn't reduce by 1 if you skip Tornado Man's Life unit; they're programmed a bit differently) -Before detonating Black Hole Bomb, you can move it upwards and downwards -If you are hit by Concrete Shot during Black Hole Bomb's detonation, its colors change to gray/dark gray colors (haven't tried other weapons yet) -Concrete Shot freezes Galaxy Man's Black Hole Bomb -You can shoot Jewel Satellite forward.
Other: -Concrete Man's song is based off Wood Man's song -IIRC, Plug Man's song is based off Quick Man's song
Lol, no, it is none of these things. I'm well aware of the stuff on these lists, and wouldn't refer to something that's common knowledge among fans as "undiscovered." Good luck!
best,
Seth
Ask me about my beard. Or don't. It's cool either way.
- There's no evidence linking that unused MegaMan sprite animation with this undiscovered thing*.
- ??? (you help me)
Next, about that unused MM sprite:
- If it's inside the secret thing, well... it must be some kind of projectile, as those animations are not for grabbing/climbing anything. Since it's NOT an extra weapon, I'm unsure about another usage of those sprites.
- The BC and BJ icons are, in fact, Blues Coil and Blues Jet, but have you some picture of the japanese game after all? Again, if there's no relation with Blues, it's not an extra weapon/item anyway.
