Trivia

 * When Mr. Wily orders the World Three to enter the N1 Grand Prix, TorchMan, ElecMan, and WackoMan claim they are “version 2”. This is a reference to the video game series, where subsequent fights with boss Navis during the game results in them becoming stronger versions of themselves.
 * MagicMan is the only Navi not be upgraded to version 2. This is a reference to how in the original Mega Man Battle Network each of the World Three Navis are fought twice during the main game, once in their levels and once at the end of the game, but MagicMan is only fought once during the climax, his upgraded versions being post-game bosses.
