Level Selector Codes and Damage Guide

It's premiering right here, folks! First off, I'd like to show support to the gshi guys who made the level selector codes (in particular gedowski). However, gedowski didn't provide specific values for the levels, just the rough areas they're in (and none of the Wily Tower levels either), so I was up all night figuring THOSE things out.

I'd also like to thank Nightmare Zero, because it all really started with him. You see, one day late at night Nightmare Zero was perfecting his Save State Master program and found a way to get into levels (in fact he was the very first to find the Wily Tower game through emulation). However, what struck me was that Rockman 1's points were carried over into the save state he gave me (the screen with Mega Water as shown above). Now, obviously this is because he started in Rockman 1 when hacking into levels, but this got me thinking that there must be a way to use game-specific Master Weapons in games they weren't made for! Especially since Wily Tower lets you pick and choose.

At first I went to the GSHI asking for codes that allowed me to change the weapon Rockman was holding and they directed me to their codes section. Well, that didn't pan out for that idea because the menu from RM1 doesn't show RM3's weapons and there's no code that will let it ever do that. BUT that got me thinking ... Wily Tower's weapon select does allow you to pick and choose weapons! Remembering that Nightmare Zero's level hacking brought over RM1's data I figured I could use the GSHI's level select codes to bring over data from the Wily Tower game. And I can!

Now, before I go into it and give out the codes I made, a few notes:
- This is for Rockman Megaword NOT the Wily Wars. They don't work in the Wily Wars.
- Bringing data over from Wily Tower messes up about half the levels in the game. This is because that weapon select is full screen and the level data gets mixed up in when you go from that weapons screen back to the game. Now, it's possible to bring in data from RM1 or RM2 into RM3 (or RM3's into RM1 or 2; none of those games use full screen menus), but then you won't have the slide and that makes Rockman 3 unplayable (because there's parts that require the slide). However, even if the level is messed up, the sprites are fine. If you're pretty familiar with the games or have a map to refer to then you should be good to go. Regardless, bring Rush Jet along and use the infinite weapon energy code.
- I'm using the Gens emulator. It can handle the various code formats I'm using.

Level Selector Codes

I'm including all the codes I found useful. You can find more at the GHSI's bulletin board and site. Remember: These codes are for MegaWorld only. Some Wily Wars codes do work though, so feel free to experiment. I've included their codes for having all weapons (and items) for all three RM games in the set. This way you can bypass glitched levels for the levels that don't require either game-specific weapons or the slide. Just input the code, select the desired games, choose any level, and you'll have that game's weapons available for the level of your choice.

• Unlike Rockman 1 for the Famicom, if you land on spikes while flashing you do not die instantly.
• If you use the level select codes using Rockman 1 as a starting point, points will appear at the top of the screen for any game. However, points are not gained from killing non-Rockman 1 enemies. Killing Rockman 1 enemies during the Wily Tower stages does give you points.
• Beating some RM1 bosses (like Cutman) with RM2, RM3 or WT data (by level selecting from those respective games) makes the game act like the respective game's post-boss victory (the weapon does not drop from the sky, points don't sound off and you teleport out; RM collects the explodey balls from the robot master, a weapon in the menu fills up (albeit with a glitched weapon icon) and RM teleports out; RM stands there as victory music plays and teleports out), but beating some bosses (such as Cutman) leads to a soundless RM3 "get weapon" screen (Shadow Blade and Rush Marine for beating Cutman) and beating other bosses (such as Fireman or Iceman) crashes the game after RM teleports out.
  • RM1 is the only game which lacks a post-boss get weapon screen for it's robot masters. When game data calls for it it there's a glitch.
• Iceman's water supports Rush Marine. However, it does not reject Rush Jet, like RM3's water does.
• The water in RM1 has buoyancy physics (you jump higher and fall slower), while the water in RM1 (FAM) does not.
• Rush Marine cannot be summoned in Wily level 3 ( CWU-01P level), but Rush Jet can. Doing so will break the current and will allow you to backtrack when you shouldn't be able to.
• Rush will pass right through blocks Rockman can pick up using the Super Arm.
• All weapons will cause Cutman and Elecman to stumble backward regardless of damage.
• If Copy Rockman tries to imitate any non-Rockman 1 weaponry, the game will immediately lock up with the following exceptions:
  
  • Metal Blade: Copy Rockman's shooting pose turns into a big stack of garbage blocks that slow down the game a little.  He's invincible during this time.
    
  • Clash Bomb: Copy Rockman's shooting pose turns into a standing-still pose.  If he tries to fire while a Clash Bomb or explosion is on-screen, he'll slide off screen and fall into an infinite loop, never returning to the play area.
    
  • Time Stopper: Copy Rockman does a standing pose in mid-air instead of a shooting pose.  If you use Time Stopper, his sprite will glitch.
    
• CWU-01P's Damage was determined based on the fact it takes 8 Rock Buster shots to destroy one CWU-01P unit, thus giving it 80 energy.
  • Margin of Error: 10 units of energy.
    
• The background color of the Wily Machine is the same one used for Rockman's outline.  This is of particular interest because if you charge Atomic Fire, the background flashes along with Rockman.

• Beating a RM2 level with the RM1 game data will not cause the weapon to drop from the ceiling. However, it will sound RM1's victory music and lead to point counting. It does not lead to a get weapon screen, however.
• Beating RM2 with RM3 or WT game data to RM2's get weapon screen after the post-boss actions (RM3's collecting balls of energy and WT's victory fanfare and teleporting).
• As in RM1, RM2's water supports Rush Marine. However, it does not reject Rush Jet, like RM3's water does.
• Damage for Pikopiko-Kun was determined based on the fact it takes 3 Rock Buster shots to destroy one Pikopiko-Kun unit, thus giving it 30 energy.
  • Margin of Error: 10-30 units of energy.
    
• Top Spin apparently DOES hit the Guts Tank, but it doesn't decrease it's weapon energy.
  
• It's unknown how much energy each Boo Beam Trap unit has as Clash Bombs are the only weapon that can defeat them but do so in a single hit.
  • Margin of Error: 10-??? units of energy.
  • Time Stopper has no effect on the Boo Beam Trap.

• Making Rush marine jump out of water and on to land will cause Rockman to be forced out. Rush Marine will then teleport out. In Rockman 3 you have to go to the weapon select menu and choose something else to exit Rush marine.
• Beating a RM3 level with the RM1 game data will not cause the weapon to drop from the ceiling. However, it will sound RM1's victory music and lead to point counting. It does not lead to a get weapon screen, however.
• Beating RM3 with RM2 or WT game data to RM3's get weapon screen after the post-boss actions (the respective game's victory fanfare and teleporting).
• Level warping to Breakman is somewhat interesting.
  • Warping from RM 1 or 2 causes the game to behave as if it defeated a fortress boss (fanfare, point counting (where applicable)) and will skip the cutscene and not go to Wily Level 1.
  • Warping from RM3 causes the game to run normally.
• Warping from WT will make the game have WT's victory fanfare and will skip the cutscene, but when you return to the stage select screen Hyper Storm's mugshot is darkened. (furthermore beating Doc Robot Gemini and Shadow levels will cause Buster Rod's and Mega Water's respective mugshots to go dark). This is likely due to the fact that the WT guys share values with these levels (the first in MM3 to not give out master weapons).
• The Doc Robot's are made to match the RM2 Robot Masters in terms of damage data. However, Flash Stopper does not drain Doc Robot Quickman's energy. Moreover there is a marked difference in Woodman's vulnerabilities to Top Spin, Search Snake, Spark Shock, Shadow Blade and the Elec Beam. Doc Robot Heatman also takes half the damage from Rockman's regular shots. Show the damage data comparison table.
