 * In Lan's stove during its take over by FireMan.EXE, Mr. Progs were affected by the extreme heat and also provide MegaMan with Ice Programs that allow him to douse fires in the way of his progress through the stage.
 * In the Power Plant area, during Elecman.EXE's attack on the SciLab, Mr. Progs give MegaMan the batteries needed to solve puzzle locks along the path. However, there are some Mr. Progs that are corrupted and will enter battle when spoken to or when found as a random encounter.
