Chips (Mega Man Zero series)

Custom Chips, introduced in Mega Man Zero 3, replace the Form system from Mega Man Zero 2. It allows the player to equip Zero with one chip each for his legs, body and head, with each chip granting him an upgrade to his abilities. As the name implies, it allows the player to better customize Zero's fighting ability.

In Mega Man Zero 3, most chips are obtained from Secret Disks, and others are obtained from Bosses. The three Elemental Chips, a staple of the Zero series, are technically part of this system. In Mega Man Zero 4, Zero must collect parts from enemies and bring them to Cerveau to create them. Also, some NPCs in the game can provide recipes that create the chips.

The Junk set are the only chips that require a combination, for all three need to be equipped in order for them to have any use. When all three Junk chips are equipped, Zero emulates his Proto Form, in which his offense is doubled and defense halved. However, unlike the previous depictions of the Proto Form (particularly when it is used in Hard Mode) Zero can still use his weapons and EX skills normally.
