To do: Search both the complete game and prototype to find if content shown in the game's official site, like debug features and enemies, are still present (like the ones found). And other unused stuff.

Mega Man Legends 2 (sort of) picks up where the first game left off, delivering more action, more digging, more unanswered questions, and a cliffhanger that will never, ever be resolved.

Unused Areas

The game has two unused areas that appear to have been used for debugging.

Debug Room

The first area is a large grassland populated with a giant Roll using tools, a big Tron with changing face expressions, a Servbot lying near Tron, a naked Sera that moves her eyes, an invincible Amistal Reaverbot that doesn't release miniatures, four squares in the floor that inflict the freeze, burn, paralyzed and energy leak status when stepped upon, an incomplete building, the barrier from Calinca Ruins, and an invisible ramp between Roll and Tron, noticeable by the different floor. Pressing the Left and Right directional buttons on joystick 2 changes Sera's motions.

This debug room can be accessed with the GameShark code below. Just boot up the game and start a new game.

(US) Gameshark Codeː

Sulphur-Bottom Junk Shop

The second area is a modified version of Sulphur-Bottom's Junk Shop. It is missing some content, like the device hanging on a rope. Some parts of the room have different colors, the conveyor belt and the panel in the wall are animated, and it has a 3-wheeled car in the middle of the room. When using the code to enter, the best way to reach the junk shop is to use the air walker code as well. Hit x as soon as it loads, and rotate slightly to the right. Then jump forward and air walk again when you see the room. Then jump and walk up to it.

Unused Playable Characters

With the use of codes, it's possible to change Mega Man's appearance to that of the characters Roll, Tron, Bon, Glyde, Gatz, and Matilda, as well as Mega Man wearing an apron. The reason for this is explained on the game's Japanese site, which states that some characters were originally planned early on to be playable (specifically mentioning the first five above, by name) in certain events, but the plan was scrapped because the gameplay and motion data were already tailored for Mega Man, making all of them act like him, and changing it would inconveniently take more time in the game's development.

Unused Graphics

The game contains a few leftover graphics from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, like the drills from Shala-Kun Ruins.

Mega Man's textures have a hidden image of the mobile suit MA-04X Zakrello from the Gundam anime series talking with an unknown character (which is possibly Gundam combined with B part of G-Fighter, appearing in an iconic scene together with Zakrello, with the beam rifle on its right and the shield on its left, after messing with the palette). The mobile suit says "Leftover space. Hmm... What should I do." "Why not draw something?" is the unknown character's response.

Roll's textures contain a hidden image of the mobile suit RGM-79 GM from the Gundam series.

Like Mega Man and Roll, Barrell has a mobile suit figure hidden in his textures, this one being MSM-04 Acguy. The Japanese text says "bibibibibi" (Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of current pulsing between the mobile suit's two poles).

One of Joe's faces has text on it. The text reads "つかってないカオ" ("tsukattenai kao") which translates to "unused face" (literally, "face that is not being used").

Mini people under some of Sera's faces.

Sera with heart eyes, which is uncommon for her. The face was shown as a joke on the game's official site.

Geetz wearing glasses.

HUD textures contain a hidden doodle of a Birdbot.

Horokko's texture contain a small picture of a Slime from the Dragon Quest series.

Unused Dialogue

Japanese

Two unused variations of the scene when Mega Man "accidentally" sees Roll in the bathroom.

	キャー！エッチ！出てって！！	Yikes! Pervert! Get out!!

A slew of instructions provided by Roll on how to use the controls. Presumably, these would have been heard in the Tutorial mode.

English

To do: Finish adding the rest so i can get rid of the youtube video

The english version seems to contain all of the unused Japanese tracks, while adding some of it's own:

Audio	Transcript
	Eek! What do you think you're doing!?
	It looks like you didn't get all the fires, Mega Man.
	I don't think that's where the fire started, Mega Man.
	The roof won't last much longer! You've got to stop the Bonnes!

Various clips include Tron screaming for Mega Man, and some instructions and comments made by Roll.

Unused Text

If the world map is accessed before the time it's supposed to be, the current objective is shown as "WARNING: The Flutter cannot be entered!".

Crash Handler

It's possible to make a crash handler screen appear by causing an error in the debug room with a cheat device. You could also crash the game by enabling a cheat code to moon jump far out of land to the point that all land is not visible and see the surface start to flicker; at that point, keep going until you see the handler. The second controller shows additional values.

Regional Differences

The ending credits of the Japanese PlayStation version shows ten fan illustrations that were removed overseas. The ending theme was changed overseas.

Revisional Differences

The original prices for Special Weapon upgrades were reduced in the Japanese exclusive PSP version.
