Talk:Mega Man 8

D-Boy: Anybody know where to find pictures of Mega Man using the Mega Man 8 special weapons... or Mega Man and Bass also, for that matter?

Hey! Did you know that I discovered the Astro Crush in Wily Tower 1 trick?

Different Opening themes
Ok... I don't get this... I've heard both openings for this game (the one I'm most familiar with has no name, and I'm sure that those of you here who've played this game have heard this theme!) and they both sound vastly different: not to mention the version I've heard has no vocals! Did the "ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION" theme appear ONLY in the Japanese version, and if so, why the change?70.5.81.112 20:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Zack M.


 * Kinda late answer, but only to note, yup. Many games have different opening and ending themes between the Japanese and international releases, specially if the Japanese version is vocal. Examples: Electrical Communication, Brandnew Way, Makenai Ai ga Kitto Aru, Lazy Mind, Jounetsu Setsuna, Anata no Kaze ga Fuku Kara, Naite Ii Yo, Freesia, ... And anime, like Rockman no Theme - Kaze wo Tsukinukete. --Quick (u•t) 23:06, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

Add platform differences section?
There's a note in the 'Trivia' section about the Sega Saturn version having MM1 Robot Masters as mid-level bosses. Is this the only thing the Saturn version has that the PSX version doesn't? Are there more differences that would warrant a whole new section? predcon 00:55, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Besides the new bosses, the only differences I know is that Tengu Man's stage has a different music and the SS version has some extras. --177.159.26.195 23:29, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

Boss Contest
A glimpse of the Rockman 8 boss character contest, from the June 1996 issue of Comic BomBom. --Quick (u•t) 20:15, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

Overdrive System?
Most MM8 pages refer to the extra attack used by bosses when they lose half of their life as "Overdrive Attack" or "Overdrive System". Are those name used in any official source? --Quick (u•t) 23:06, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

Code?
At Title screen, press Up, Down, Left, Left, Circle, Square, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Left, Up.

Or

At Title screen, press Up, Down, Left, Left, Circle, Square, Triangle, X, X, X, Left, Up.

I've seen this "have all weapons" (or "infinite weapon energy"?) code in some sites and gaming magazines alongside the "hold L1 + R1 and press Start" code to unlock extras in the Bonus Mode (which works in the Sega Saturn version), but it (and the L+R one) doesn't seen to work. Does it work on the Sega Saturn version? (With a similar button combination) Or does it have a requirement to work, like having a complete game save or being specific to the Japanese version? Or does it not work at all (alongside the L+R in non Saturn versions)? --Quick (u•t) 03:59, April 10, 2020 (UTC)
