Secret Area

Secret Area is a location from MegaMan Battle Network 3. It is located in the back of the Undernet Square and only acessible by a huge hole. Residents of the Secret Area are dark Navis, including DarkMan.EXE, YamatoMan.EXE and Serenade.EXE, between other HeelNavis and Ranked-style ones.

The area itself looks like it's made of porcelain and full of twist and turns. Invisible doors also dot the area. There is also water surrounding the area. There are a large number of monoliths, and numbers. The monoliths are giant walls created by Serenade to trap large numbers of evil viruses. They can only be broken by the Hammer Key-item (found in Undernet7, by opening Flameman's security cube) and once broken, they unleash a horde of 10 rounds of viruses that you must delete to keep going. The Numbers are a security system consisting of three numbered staffs. The numbers written on them mean the order in which they must be deleted. Sometimes they will have to be deleted in order or all of them together, and if one that's colored brown and is not the "next-in-line" is hit, it will unleash their 1000 damage attack, Err&Del, if you fire a shot at them that's not a killing blow. When cleared colored, if the wrong one is deleted, it will simply regenerate.

There are 3 parts to the area, and each one has a boss you must defeat to asvance to keep advancing. Each Navi is behind a door that can only be opened when specific things are completed. The first is DarkMan in Area 1, then YamatoMan in the second, and finally, Serenade. After defeating Serenade and feeding 300 Bugfrags to the trader, you can fight Bass.EXE, that has fused with the remains of Gospel. After that battle, some Heel Navis appear all around the Secret Area to challenge the player to time trials. This tests consist in deleting versions of all the fightable Navis in the game "faste than Serenade did". If all the battles are completed faster than the Underking, the player is given another Star in the Start Menu.
