All spoilers for Mega Man Battle Network are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Mega Man Battle Network 2 is a video game by Capcom released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. It's the second installment in the Mega Man Battle Network series.Three months after the previous game and the fall of WWW, a new NetMafia known as Gospel with a mysterious leader is on the rise. While their goals are initially unknown, it becomes clear that they're looking for several SuperPrograms to use for some nefarious purpose. Lan and MegaMan.EXE now must stop them.While Battle Network 2 uses the same combat system at its predecessor, the game has received many balance changes. Additionally, there are two major additions: Style Change and SubChips. Style Changes are transformations that can alter MegaMan's elemental affinity and Charged Shot and provide passive effects in battle, and are unlocked over time based on your playstyle. SubChips are items that can only be used outside of battle, but provide useful functions such as healing, unlocking locked mystery data, or altering the encounter rate.Other features implemented in this game include the alteration of the Custom Screen, improvement of the Add function, and introduction of the wildcard *-code to make combos easier to execute.

comment
Darker and Edgier: While Battle Network 2 features another global criminal organization committing a string of terrorist attacks, it trims out most of the cartoony excess from the first game. Gospel's operatives almost all have at least some flair, but nothing as colorful or exotic as Count Zap or Yahootnote Indeed, the second major operative is dressed completely as a civilian, and they have significant personal motivations, which is something nobody in the World Three ever had. The most colorful member is Gospel's leader, a fearsome and alien figure surrounded with grim colors, who is such a Bad Boss that even his attempts to kill his own underlings double as terrorist attacks. There's also an uptick in profanity.

Chekhov's Gun: Right outside Lan's HP is a purple mystery data on an isolated platform. You eventually gain access to it in the postgame, and it contains the ArmyData for the SS Licence. You have to pass through the WWW Area to get there, which begs some questions. When Lan leaves for Netopia, Mayl will be at the airport waiting to see him off with gifts, including a lucky wireless adapter. The wireless adapter proves essential during the KnightMan scenario, when Lan is able to use it to bridge gaps between his PET and the jack-in ports in Netopia Castle.

Party in My Pocket: Used briefly during the Okuden camp scenario. Since this is the only time in the series it's used, it's very jarring; apparently players were just expected to know what it meant when all the other kids walked into Lan. (Standard Battle Network procedure when Lan's in a group is just to have everybody hang around somewhere, checking things out, until you trigger a cutscene that moves the party.)

comment
Unintentionally Unwinnable: The Rush/Mole virus, which awards the PopUp battle chip, will flee the battle after taking 10 hits and will only take 1 point of damage from attacks under normal circumstances. Normally this is not a issue at all given that he has exactly 10 health, but in hard mode he has 15 health, meaning its impossible to defeat him and earn his chip normally. The only way to delete him and earn his chip is to Area Grab until he is locked to a single panel then throw a Whirlpool or Black Hole chip at him as soon as he submerges, which deletes him regardless of health. With that said, good luck if you don't have 4 Area Grabs in hard mode or are unlucky enough to not draw all 4.

Explosive Overclocking: During the endgame, after Megaman defeats Gospel's Bass, Gospel's leader decides to overclock the server power to initiate bug fusion again and create an even more powerful Bass. It instead creates a Multibug Organism whose presence overclocks the servers even further, resulting in the radiation knocking both Lan and Gospel's leader out.

Characterization Marches On: Yai's tendency to being pushy and prone to flaunting her superiority starts in the second game.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first game with Style Change in it, and the mechanics had not yet been refined to the state they were in in Battle Network 3. There are, of course, fewer styles than there would be in Battle Network 3. Because there's no NaviCust yet, abilities are locked to the style. The Chng.bat program needed to gain style change is unique in this installment, and MegaMan has to obtain the program from Yumland. In Battle Network 3, style change would be a relatively ubiquitous phenomenon. This game features irregular, nonstandard magnet panels that force character movement that will disappear for the next couple of games. BugFrags in this game are limited-stock hidden collectibles, while subsequent games make them a farmable secondary currency. Battle Network 2 is uncharacteristically coy about showing the audience the internal dynamic of Gospel, while most other games in the series are up front about the villains, their plans, and their personalities. Gospel is routinely depicted in darkness, with little in the way of mugshots, until the end of the game. There are three variations of the LifeSword Program Advance in this game. LifeSword1 is the only one that survives into later games. Undershirt is a BattleChip in this game. With the introduction of the Navi Customizer in Battle Network 3, Undershirt is converted into a NaviCust program.

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: KotoSquare is a nice place filled with nice people who do things like pray for peace. And then you realize the square is shaped like a skull, the local shop is an efficient way to collect bug frags, and it's really a front for Gospel. The Quiz King is an elderly man who is the last of a series of charming NPCs who quiz you about game trivia in exchange for rewards. It also turns out that he's taking over the body of an elderly man who hasn't been conscious since he was thirteen-years-old.

He then returns to UnderSquare musing about how much he can charge the Officials for his services.

Bragging Rights Reward
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c
comment
Bragging Rights Reward: Hub Style blends this trope with Infinity +1 Sword. The unlock requirements involve S-ranking every boss except Bass, after which Hub Style becomes your next Style Change result. It has the effects of all four Styles rolled into one and then some, and is without doubt the strongest Style in the game. However, you have little left to use it on, barring rematches with Bass. Beating Hard Mode bestows your original save file with the Sanctuary chip. By that time, you're probably good enough that you won't need the assistance of a defensive field chip. The Darkness Program Advance deals 3000 damage (i.e. the most health any enemy in the game can possibly have outside of Hard Mode) to the entire enemy area, basically turning it into little more than "Press A to Win". However, without cheating or hacking the game, one of the components is only obtainable by S-ranking Bass Deluxe. If you can do this, you've pretty much done everything the game has to offer at that point, and are far beyond needing such an obscenely broken attack to begin with.

comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Yumland is a country with a huge population known for spicy food like curry, suggesting India, though a folding screen referencing the country in Battle Network 3 suggests China, and subsequent Battle Network games would add lots of influence from Thailand. The Japanese name of the country, Ajina, is the Japanese rendering of Asia (Ajia) with an extra "n", so it could be referencing mainland Asia as a whole. Netopia is Europe-America (in the Japanese version it's literally called Amerope), complete with a mishmash of ancient castles, bustling business districts, and an inner-city ghetto. There's even a South Netopia, as Jennifer explains. Creamland is a country to the north of Netopia, suggesting something from Northern Europe, and its name suggests a Pun on Iceland (i.e., "ice cream"). MegaMan NT Warrior, on the other hand, describes it as an island nation covered in ice most of the year, which would suggest Greenland—perhaps Creamland is a composite of both.

comment
Disc-One Nuke: In the WiiU Virtual Console version, the game hands you several chips that could only be won through PVP battles or were distributed at special events in Japan just by accessing the Network menu, including the broken Gospel Breath Chips. Downplayed in the Legacy Collection Version, as most of the secret chips have to be won through PVP once more, but the game still hands the player the Gospel Breath and GateSP chips by accessing the Megaman menu and selecting the Download Chip sub-menu. After defeating AirMan, you can challenge Dex for your first match against GutsMan, earning the GutsMan Navi Chip. On its own, it's an area-wide attack that can help you snag multi-deletes for quick S-ranks on weak viruses, but it also forms an early Program Advance with the easily-acquired Guard and DashAtk chips. This Program Advance does enough damage to make mincemeat of the next few bosses. If you know where to look, you can easily assemble the pieces to the LifeSword1 Program Advance before reaching Okuden camp. This Program Advance covers a wide area and deals a lot of damage, enough to one-shot Wake-Up Call Boss QuickMan when he's vulnerable.

comment
Save Scumming: Unlike later games, the contents of Green Mystery Data on the net are only determined when Megaman collects them instead of when he jacks in. This makes it possible to save beforehand and keep resetting until it gives the desired result. In particular, GMD in Undernet 5 has the potential to contain a whopping 50,000 Zenny, while WWW Area 1 GMD can contain the chips that form LifeSword3 in *-code.

Permanently Missable Content: Some items are locked off to a specific timeframe in the story and would be unobtainable if the player advances too far into the story, mostly chips with specific codes. A non-chip example is Lan's stolen money — if you don't talk to the blonde NPC at the Netopian airport twice before you finish the Net Castle scenario, you're not getting the money back.

Shooting At Your Own Projectiles
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_6c818d52
comment
Shooting At Your Own Projectiles: The AquaBall, ElecBall, and HeatBall Battle Chips allow MegaMan to spawn a slow-moving balloon with a 10 damage counter over it. Every time the balloon is hit by an attack from either side, the counter goes up by the damage dealt. Should the balloon hit an enemy or obstacle, it explodes the side it's on for elemental damage equal to the counter. This makes it especially useful against the Protectos, as their very powerful whole-field attack will add to its damage.

Guide Dang It!: Good luck knowing exactly how the Style Change system works without either trial and error experimentation or a guide. Each individual Style requires very specific conditions fulfilled in battles repeatedly to achieve them, there's a priority list in case the invisible point systems for two of them end in a tie, and the Hub Style is simpler to acquire but has a one-time chance to get it without trading with someone who already has it.

From Bad to Worse
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: Lan's trip to Netopia. Lan's trouble starts at the airport itself, where he is forced to surrender his PET, MegaMan in tow, to airport security. (Immediately after this, Yai sends you an e-mail asking for a souvenir). Then, once Lan enters the terminal, a foreigner with a thick French accent bumps into him and steals all his money. It can be retrieved if you confront the man at the Netopian airport after arriving, but if you don't it becomes Permanently Missable Content. After this, Lan finds Chaud in the terminal, who returns Lan's PET to him, but not without flaunting his Official authority and first taunting Lan for being a loser. After arriving in Netopia, Lan's attempt to exit the airport is interrupted by another man, who all but kidnaps him into a "taxi", only to refuse to let Lan leave without first surrendering all of his battle-chips. Once the boys reach their hotel, they blame each other for the catastrophic taxi ride and Lan ditches MegaMan on the floor of his hotel room. After a surprise encounter with Higsby, Lan returns and reconciles with MegaMan, only to learn his passport has been stolen. The boys newly reconciled, they have to go on a quest to retrieve their stolen property. After getting everything back, they attend the ONBA conference in Netopia castle, when suddenly the castle's traps activate and everyone is dumped into the dungeon filled with even more traps.

Point of No Return: Jacking into any of the detonators during the camp scenario prohibits you from jacking out until you've disabled the detonator. This includes the final detonator, where you must defeat QuickMan himself. Players not prepared for the challenge will find themselves unable to easily restore HP or access better chips. After defeating the second Boss Rush wave of Gospel Navis (KnightMan, MagnetMan, FreezeMan) in Gospel Server 1, a Mr. Prog urges Megaman to save immediately or after jacking out, as the intense radiation in the next room will overwhelm Lan's PET and make it impossible to save there.

Easy Level Trick
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6
comment
Easy Level Trick: One way to beat the Protectos (which must be killed all at once, and have high HP) is via the AquaBall/ElecBall/HeatBall chips, which spawns a balloon that absorbs damage from attacks, and blows up the side it's on for that much when it contacts an enemy. Since Protectos use a very powerful fullscreen explosion attack when their countdown ends, this gives the balloon a ton of damage which will proceed to hit the Protectos for that same amount, assuming Mega hasn't shot at the balloon to increase it even further.

Creamland is a country to the north of Netopia, suggesting something from Northern Europe, and its name suggests a Pun on Iceland (i.e., "ice cream"). MegaMan NT Warrior, on the other hand, describes it as an island nation covered in ice most of the year, which would suggest Greenland—perhaps Creamland is a composite of both.

The Darkness Program Advance deals 3000 damage (i.e. the most health any enemy in the game can possibly have outside of Hard Mode) to the entire enemy area, basically turning it into little more than "Press A to Win". However, without cheating or hacking the game, one of the components is only obtainable by S-ranking Bass Deluxe. If you can do this, you've pretty much done everything the game has to offer at that point, and are far beyond needing such an obscenely broken attack to begin with.

No One Could Survive That!: Exaggerated and straight into Artistic License – Physics territory. Lan should have been dead from radiation poisoning before Battle Network 3 if he was exposed to hundreds of thousands of rads, even with a top-notch radiation suit. Then again, this is some kind of wacky computer-born radiation that causes someone to walk sideways when he tries to go forwards, and starts merging the real and cyber worlds if left unchecked, so perhaps the usual rules don't apply...in-game, it is said to be magnetic radiation suggesting that it affects iron in the blood at a molecular level instead of an atomic level.

Numerical Hard: As always, upgraded versions of bosses have more hit points and do more damage. Zigzagged in that a number of them develop more advanced tactics as well. Getting 100% Completion in this game and inputting a certain code at the title screen unlocks Hard Mode, where the enemies simply have increased HP and do more damage. Because the Battle Chips and the drop rates don't scale accordingly, however, this simple change vastly steepens the difficulty curve.

Foreshadowing: During the opening of the second game, Yai mentions her plans to travel abroad, and after the AirMan scenario, she's briefly unreachable because she is, in fact, travelling around the world. Lan will get to do the same come the middle of the game. During the QuickMan scenario, there is, as always, a custom NPC with a navi-symbol on the front of his hat. Some of Dave's handiwork can be seen before his plot goes off. Somebody reports a canteen being abandoned at the campsite when the kids arrive. Dave tells Lan he and his friends need to evacuate during the bomb crisis... because something "awesome" is about to happen. After the MagnetMan scenario is over and Lan and MegaMan have returned home, a Navi at the square claiming to be a fortune-teller predicts that another ice age will be coming. The FreezeMan scenario is up next. If you look around the KotoSquare, you'll notice it's in the shape of a skull. Naturally, Gospel's hideout is in Kotobuki.

Competitive Balance: Each style's elemental charge shots have different properties, giving them an edge in some situations more than the others: Heat Style shoots a flamethrower across three squares in front of MegaMan, but he is a sitting duck until the attack animation ends. Aqua Style's bubble gun spreads to one square behind the target upon contact. It has the fastest charge speed and firing rate between the four styles. Elec Style has a paralyzing Zap Ring to hold the target in place so they're easier to hit with chips, but it has a middling firing rate and low power. Wood Style's Twister attack deals the most damage in total due to hitting multiple times, but it only hits a single panel two squares in front of MegaMan.

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Sean, the real identity of the leader of Gospel can be seen and spoken to while riding the airplane with Lan during MagnetMan.EXE's hijack. It's unknown exactly how he would have escaped if the plane had crashed, though.

comment
One-Hit Kill: The Whirlpool and Blackhole chips allows Mega to toss a projectile that turns into a whirlpool on the floor. Any basic viruses (but not bosses) that walk into it will be instantly deleted. However, the chip is Awesome, but Impractical to use due to the whirlpool counting like an occupied space after a second of formation, preventing viruses from actively moving into it (though Wind or other Knock Back can still push them into one).

Hub Style blends this trope with Infinity +1 Sword. The unlock requirements involve S-ranking every boss except Bass, after which Hub Style becomes your next Style Change result. It has the effects of all four Styles rolled into one and then some, and is without doubt the strongest Style in the game. However, you have little left to use it on, barring rematches with Bass.

Obvious Rule Patch: In the Japanese GBA version, hitting a Prism with a TreeBomb causes Prism to activate repeatedly, obliterating the HP of anything in its range. In the international GBA version, hitting a Prism with a TreeBomb causes Prism to be activated once and the TreeBomb to vanish without completely resolving. In Legacy Collection, things play out like the Japanese GBA version except in multiplayer, where Prism is modified to flinch the opposing MegaMan and trigger Mercy Invincibility.

Demoted to Extra: Five virus families that weren't carried over from the first Battle Network have their respective BattleChip series represented in this game. Four virus families have their chip series consolidated into a single chip (Trident, Tornado, Mine, and Bubble Wrap), while two of the three Dynamyte chips survive as Front Sensor and Double Sensor. All of them use the same chip image as in the first game, except with the virus grayed out. This would become a trend throughout the rest of the series.

Warmup Boss: AirMan is the only Gospel boss who does not have an annoying gimmick, which makes him a straightforward fight. Kind of ironic since his Robot Master counterpart is infamous for his difficulty. You can spar with GutsMan shortly after AirMan's defeat. He has slow, telegraphed attacks or short-range punches, and isn't too difficult.

Nothing Is Scarier: YumLand's internet area basically suffers from a genocidal attack from ShadowMan.EXE, leaving the area completely barren save for a single NetNavi. When you first arrive, the BGM completely cuts out to show how barren it's become. On repeat visits, sad music constantly plays as you explore its Square, and it stays desolate until the net denizens are revived through backup data, and later on Lan and MegaMan must steal the Chng.BAT - the national treasure - to obtain Style Change, triggering security on their butts.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: During the chapter where you're camping at Okuden, you can't leave the campsite, and you're cut off from the Internet at large. Fortunately, Ribitta is nearby doing a news report, and her news van provides handy access to Den Area if you've already beaten ToadMan. Cannonball chips are uniquely annoying to acquire due to the enemies that drop them being invulnerable for most of the battle, and have two Program Advances that require collecting the chip in every code. The final Undernet area's Green Mystery Data almost exclusively drop Cannonball chips, and in all five codes. Changes in Program Advance and chip design in general make it much easier to get S-ranks on viruses, and very few viruses appear alone, making the acquisition of chips from endgame viruses much more consistent. The LocEnemy subchip also allows encountering an enemy several times in a row once it's found a single time, granting many chances to get the desired rewards. Navis can only drop chips instead of Zenny as long as the busting level is at least 8, instead of having at most a 50% chance of dropping a chip. DenArea1 features a hub of teleporters which can be opened using key items obtained from various sidequests, massively speeding up endgame travel on the net. It's especially useful in the FreezeMan scenario, which features a gargantuan volume of backtracking all across the net. The GospCode key item from a midgame sidequest also opens a number of shortcuts to make travel faster. During Lan's visit to Netopia, all the chips not in his folder(s) and his passport are stolen. To help get it back, there's a Netopian kid who offers information in exchange for a Guard chip, which is rare in Netopia but ubiquitous in Electopia. Unless you had the foresight of saving a Guard chip in your folder, you may be forced to try and grind for one off the Mettaur2 encounters in the small amount of Netopian Net you can access... or you can talk to an NPC to learn that you can find one off an Electopian tourist, who will hand you thirty Guard chips. After completing the Netopia scenario, Lan gets rewarded for saving the plane with a VIP pass, which allows him to skip all of the checkpoints and other annoyances that slowed down the first trip through the airport. Legacy Collection blocks Sanctuary from being used in Chip Traders and adds a unique prompt warning the player that it cannot be found again if they try to trade it online.

Once Mayl sends word of this, MegaMan starts champing at the bit to go rescue her.

Chekhov's Gunman: During the early part of the AirMan scenario, a DenGas representative with striking blonde hair and a blue suit is lingering outside of Lan's house looking for the Ayano residence. He's AirMan's operator, out to kidnap Yai to extort her parents for cash. When Lan and company first arrive in Okuden valley, they soon encounter a man in a red hoodie and yellow cap who is quite enthusiastic about litter laws. That's Speedy Dave, the ecoterrorist who has come to blow up Okuden dam. During the MagnetMan scenario, a man in a multicolored suit is riding in the economy class. At one point in the flight he notes that Lan is good with a Navi, and that he's pretty good with his own.

Nerf
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_e545e190
comment
Nerf MegaMan's regular Charged Shots took a big nerf compared to the other games, now doing five times the Attack rating. At best it would do 25 damage, as opposed to 40-80 (in the first game) or 50 (in all others). This low multiplier is to offset the Attack doubling from Hub Style, which would fire off 50-damage Charge Shots at best. Players can only pack five copies of each chip instead of ten, forcing variety instead of just creating a folder loaded with as few as three unique chips. Cannon and Shockwave chips have had their power drastically reduced, encouraging them to be replaced with more mechanically interesting and powerful chips, rather than starting and staying as the best option throughout the game as they were in 1 for being both among the most powerful chips and the easiest to use. Tornado is based on the strongest chip yielded from Battle Network 1's Fanner family (Cyclone), but loses 10 damage. Zigzagged with RockCube, which takes on the properties of the first game's IceCube: it only creates one cube instead of three, but it always appears in the panel in front of the player instead of being placed randomly. Anubis no longer drains enemy HP as fast as in the first game. It has to be combined with other specific chips to form the Poison Pharaoh PA to achieve its true power.

comment
Law of Conservation of Detail: As coy as the game is with Gospel agents and their actions, there are still tell-tale signs like custom character sprites. Subverted during the flight home from Netopia. There are no less than five never-before-seen NPC designs, and even the generic NPCs are the most personality-rich in the series.

Foreign Fanservice
 Mega Man Battle Network 2 (Video Game) / int_efdb28f1
comment
Foreign Fanservice: One of the game's NPC designs is a pretty fair-skinned Netopian blonde wearing a spaghetti-strap top and short shorts. Another NPC design is of a busty dark-skinned non-Electopian womannote Jennifer, the only named example identifies herself as South Netopian who wears a tight shirt and jeans. Ms. Millions' character art indicates she has an Impossible Hourglass Figure and her shoulders are bare. In the game, her dialog is saturated with the Interplay of Sex and Violence. Princess Pride's character art indicates she wears a Form-Fitting Wardrobe and has an Impossible Hourglass Figure.

If you know where to look, you can easily assemble the pieces to the LifeSword1 Program Advance before reaching Okuden camp. This Program Advance covers a wide area and deals a lot of damage, enough to one-shot Wake-Up Call Boss QuickMan when he's vulnerable.

comment
R-Rated Opening: The first arc is very much this. The game starts with a man flat out gassing a young girl with intent to hold her for ransom, showing no remorse for it, and then, he is implied to be killed in a You Have Failed Me moment.

As always, upgraded versions of bosses have more hit points and do more damage. Zigzagged in that a number of them develop more advanced tactics as well.

Artistic License – Physics: The Very Definitely Final Dungeon is a residential area is being subjected to an ongoing Reality Warp causing the physical and cyber-world to overlap and fuse, but some of the odd effects—like a man walking forward but moving sideways—are attributed to the radiation being emitted by the epicenter.

Bit Character: One of the female NPC classmates in 5-A is a close friend of Mayl's and even accompanies the gang briefly during the credits. Anna Mori the waitress NPC returns from the first game, now stationed at a café in Marine Harbor. The King of Yumland has a Navi named CookMan.EXE, who exists only to be killed byShadowMan. Jennifer and Johnson are foreign Officials who attend the conference in Netopia mostly to fill out the roster of attendees. The MagnetMan scenario has several, including the unnamed Entomologist (who even gets a custom sprite) and the man in first class who challenges Lan to a Battle Rap.

Not Rare Over There: When Lan is forced to rely on support from the Netopian ghetto to get his stolen property back, Jim, the local kid serving as Lan's informant, demands to be paid in the "rare" Guard * battle-chip (which is ubiquitous in Electopia). Another resident of the ghetto drops a hint that any Electopian tourist should have them, and, wouldn't you know it, there just so happens to be another Electopian tourist by the castle. Talk to her and she'll give you thirty of them. Once Lan returns to Electopia, a hidden NPC in ACDC Town will give him another twenty of the same chip.
