Story
The game has the same story of the original, the only difference being the addition of 2 events related to the MegaMan Star Force series:

In the prologue, Harp Note is kidnapped by ClockMan.EXE (a NetNavi able to travel through time by creating warp holes), who escapes to the MegaMan Battle Network era 200 years in the past. Dr. Goodall prepares a warp hole to allow Mega Man to follow him, and warns him that he can only return to his time if he finds ClockMan.

After the battle against ElecMan.EXE, ClockMan captures Roll.EXE, and MegaMan.EXE searches for her in the internet after hearing that a strange blue Navi was around the area at the time. When he sees the Star Force Mega Man, MegaMan.EXE believes he is the one who captured Roll and fights against him, but later realize that he is innocent and the two join forces to fight against ClockMan. After defeating ClockMan, Mega Man and Harp Note return to their time, and the Mega Man of the Star Force series gives MegaMan.EXE a program that allows the player to use him and his Battle Chip.

Trivia

 * Despite that Star Force Mega Man comes from the time after MegaMan Star Force 3, the music used in his area comes from the original MegaMan Star Force game.
 * Using S.S. Mega Man in battle resemble the fighting used in Star Force series, with Mega Man able to use Mega Dash, Auto Charge Buster, and escape (MegaMan.EXE still uses the chip).
 * After S.S. Mega Man's scenario, the player is able to talk to him using the lower screen. One of the things Geo says to Lan is that the people from the past has extremly shiny foreheads, showing Yai as an example, and playing the same audio as the twinkle from MegaMan NT anime.
